WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-These dis
patches some time ago recorded the fact
that Malone and the President were at
lOggerheads. Time does not heal the
breach. Indeed, it is said to be widening
daily. The Virginia Senator lately de-
manded in his cool, imperious way the
appointment Of Congressman Paul to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation of
Judge Rives, Il United States District
Judge of Virginia. This demand was
ignored. General Grant has a candi-
date for the position in the person
of Col. John 5. MOsby, Consul General to
China. MOsby is a bitter enemy of Ma
hone, who has been irritated beyond
measure by the persistency with which
Grant has pressed his name. 1t is said
that one object of Grants present view is
to urge MOsby's appointment, and it is
also whispered that he will be successful.
Mr., Malone heard the news to-day. He
interviewed General Grant, and the two
subsequently went to the White House
together. They were clOseted with Presi-
dent Arthur for some time, What took
place has been studiOusly'kept secret. but
the result may be cOnjectured from a re-
mark made by Malone this evening.
He said to a friend, 81 will never enter
the portal of the White House during the
present administration" General Grant is
said to be stronger than Malone. Perhaps
his influence has not yet waned. In case
he does not succeed in procuring this ap-
pOintment for Mosby, it may be given to
another applicant who is now Judge in
one of the Territories, and is Grants sec
Ond chOiae. 1t is certain, however, that

FRENCHA-MERICAN CLAIMS.
An Important Decision Against the
United States,

An Important Decision Against the
United States,
WASHINGTON, Jan. A decision was
rendered yesterday in the Pierre Nouze
case by the French-American Claims
Commission, whereby the plaintiff was
allowed $500, with interest at per cent.
from November ), 1862. The claimant in
this case was a French subject residing
in Louisiana, where he owned slaves as
property under the laws formerly in eX-
istence in that State.
There is, as was shown by counsel for
the United States, a French law
which fOrbids and makes it a
penal otfense or "a crime for
any citizen or subject of that country
to own slaves Council therefore con-
tended that this law having been violated
by the claimant, he had forfeited all right
which otherwise had attached to q sub
ject of France TO come in and get re-
Enumeration from the Government of
the United States. This demurrer,
as it were, on the part Of
the United States was cverruled
by the third Commissioner, and the Com
missioner on the part of France, who
allowed the claim. The Commissioner on
the part of the United States disSented
from this opinion, and gave his reasons
therefor. Fhe commissions decision is of
Importance, as two hundred other cases
to which the same objection would be ap-
plicable are pending, and consequently
cannot be ruled out on such grounds.

GAMBETTA's MYSTERY.
An Ill-Starred Love Match-The Fatal
Shot Fired by Woman.


The New York Times has a special dis.
patch from Paris giving the eircum-
stances of the death of Gambetta, in
which the mystery of the pistol wound in
the hand and wrist, primarily the cause
of his death, is sought to be cleared up as
follows:
''ThrOughout his illness his friends have
sought to conceal the gravity Of the
situation, and above all the agency of a
woman IN the tragedy. Nevertheless, no
doubt is permissible that the shot which
directly or Indirectly caused his death

Paris, and whose pseu6Onym, Leonie
