A Disappointed "Brother."

The Washington Capital published the fol-
lowing on Sunday morning:
During the early years of Grants Administra-
ton, when Mr. Garfield was member of the
House. he was called on one day by very init
mate old friend from Tennessee, whose father
had been an Old Line Wing, and he himself a
stanch UniOnist and sufferer for the cause On
of the Campbellite faith. and W ould make occl-
sional pilgrimages to the shrine of Brother
Garfield. On the pilgrimage alluded 20, he had
some favor TO ask in the way OF patronage, and
the good brother promptly offered his services i'm
his behalf. The next day they called together at
the White House, and sent their cards in to PreS-
dent Grant. They waited and waited until forbear-
ance had about ceased to be very much of a vir-
tue, and Mr.. Garfield took occasion TO open the
valve that connected with his indignant feelings.
He thought il singular that the door should not
open more rapidly on its hinges 10 admit such a
familiar visitor. We'll well, - replied the Camp
bellite brother, You may be here yourself soma
day. and then you'll change all this nonsense"
II certainly will," responded General Garfield !;
'my old friends will never have To wait" Re
membering this cheerful bon mot, ten years old,
the Campbellite brother pulled the White House
anticipating that Brother" Garfield would con-
sumo about two minutes in rushing to his en-
brace. After two hours had been frultlesSly con-
sumed in wearing out one of the chairs, the
offended brother urged on Charlie to call atten-
ton to his card, as IL must have been overlooked.
So the next trip Charlie made to the Interior he
pointed to the anxious pasteboard in question,
and brought back a reply that the President
would see the owner of il in short time. The
old man thereupon came to the conclusion that
Brother Garfield had forgotten his good mten-
tions in case he should ever come into his King
dom. and he left with the remark that his time
was too valuable. He is, however. the first man
that has yet left without an interview.

MALONE IN THE SENATE.

1t is we'll enough for the public to under
stand with as-much defniteness as the facts
and figures of the case admit, how Malone
got into the Senate what are his antecedents,
why he is an apoState. as also the price paid
for him by the Republicans. When Malone
was elected Senator from Virginia the Leg
islature, according to the Tribune Almanac,
stood as follows:

the Republicans uniting to make I'D the Read

This classification of parties, says Wash
ington dispatch, shows that the Republicans
mad less than one-fourth of the Legislature,
but by coalition with the Readjusters
they were able TO divide the subordinate
places with Mahone's followers. When the
election of Senator took place, an attic mpt
was made to commit the friends of Malone
definitely to one side or the other, but rs a

broken the coalition and defeated their can
didate, they eyaded any direct answer to re-
peated inquiries on this point. In the course
of the discussion, Mr. Payne, Democrat,
said: "As General Malone was to go to the
United States Senate without any avowed
principles, ne hoped he was not to be in the
market" 1t is seen by the figures that Ma
hone, by going over to the Republicans be-
came a political traitor. He had never
acted with the Republican party. SO hos
tile was he to that party that he got up
separate Hancock ticket in Virginia,
which received 31,527 votes. 1t is, however,
probable that Malone sold out before ne
was elected Senator, and that from the first
he was in the market When Malone cast
his first vote in the Senate the bargain on
his part was fulfilled. His purchasers then
proceeded to deliver the goods, and this was
done by the extraordinary appointment OF
Malone, over the heads of old Republican
Senators, as Chairman of the Committee or
Agriculture, and as a member of the Com
mittees on Naval Affairs, of Postoffices and
Post Roads, and of Education and Labor
This unprecedented recognition OF new
Senator, and he not an avowed Republican

favor OF Conkling and Blaine. As q result,
every time the Cabinet meets. as in the days
of Job, the devil comes also. James repre-
sents Conkling, Lincoln represents Grant.
Window and Blaine can hardly be said 10
represent Garfield, though they are known
to be hostile TO Grant Kirl1wood and Hunt
are not credited with representing any
thing in particular, while McYeagh
proposes TO take care of himself
A more discordant, belligerent and
Jealous set were never got together
as a Cabinet. Matters pertaining to other
appointments are, if possible, still worse
The advice of the Cabinet is certain to lead
fairfield into ceaseless and serious Difficult
ties. Senators and Representatives are con-
suited, and their views disregarded. The
moment Garfield attempts to play President
he Is subjected to torture. The more obsti-
nate he is the more cruel are his tormentors.
Conkling proposes to fight, McVeagh pro-
poses to fight, Blaine proposes to fight if
certain contingencies arise-and now the
President is told that If he can not make the
Cabinet come to terms to let the fighting
element go. But, in the event of a
breakup, what chance is there for
an improvement? None at all, un-
less Garfield selects such officials
from the faction that will swear eternal
fidelity to Garfield. To do that is to invite
war. Pending these difficulties, the Senate
is trying to deliver the goods to Malone,
and all nominations hang fire. If there
should be break up of the Cabinet, In
diana stands ready to furnish Garfield with
any amount of raw material for Cabinet or
any other offices. Indiana could not be bet
ter pleased than to see such catastrophe
overtake Garfield.
