Malone.

The disgust occasioned by Malone, as
might have been expected, has reached
the republican ranks, and the leading
papers are outspnken in their denuncia-
ton of this political Arnold. The Record
Union has this TO say of him:
"The country is hecnming fatigued of Ma
hone His raw rhetoric, his rustic horidity,
his Southern extravagance OF expression, are
getting to be very tireSome. II appears that
the man thinks himself of considerable i'm
portance, and that fact Is to be regretted The
country made no such mistake. 1t has ap-
praised him ceolly political alventurer
unembarrassed by principles, who has been
shrewd enough Ia sell himself tn the oppo-
sition at tolersbly high figure, and wha has
not sense or tact enough IL perceive that in
such case as his silence is the only wise
course. of what he is there can be no doubt.
after what he has dome. 4 lea,ler of a repu-
diating faction IN Virginia. and thereby shown
to be without scrupies, he has been bought,
though not yet paid for, by the Republicans
in the Senate. We thiak that the bargain is
equally dissTaceful to beth the parties tn it,
and that Malone will bring far more evil than
good to his purchasers. And We also think
that those purchasers would do well to coun-
sci him to hold his foolish tongue at this june
turc, for it Is perfectly evident that his excul
patory haransnes only serve to furnish the
Democrats with exceptionally good E,portu-
mites. The plain truth Is tha. Mahone is an
indefensible person, though unfortunately for
himself he does not recognize it. But the
more he wr;Ssles the more he wall he pune
tured By those whom he has deserted, and il
seems to, Is though one effect of his vocifcr-
ons vindica.ions might b- To prevent the full
hllment of the bargain which the Republicans
have made with him. The failure of this un-
holy compact would be fit ending to the
Malone episode, an2 we should rejoice at
such a conclusion unfeiynedly.
