Especial Correspondence of the Alcxa. GAZETTE
WASHINGTON, D. G., March &c, 1856.
There is no remaining doubt of the Sc
robustness of Mahone's fight against Hon.
John Goode The opposition to his con-
firmstion is jubiant 10 day and say they
have him beaten and beaten decisively. Mr..
Goode is himself in attendance on the in.
vestigation, or practically so, as he has per-
mission to read the testimony of the Malone
witnesses and to suggest the line of cross
examination. which he does through Senator
Jackson, of Tennessee, member of the sub
committee before whom the inquiry is TAX
ing place. The effort of Malone is chiefly
directed towards showing the responsibility
of Mr.. Goode for the cheating which it is al
legged took place in the second congressional
district during the several exciting and Bit
ter canvasses which Goode made for Con-
gress, defeating in succession, first, Platte;
second, Joseph .Segar third, Dezendorf, and
trlumphantly planting the democratic ban.
ner on the heights of great republican
stronghold. In the varying fortunes of po-
lltlcal strife 1t came to pass, however, soon
after these victories were won, that many of
the advocates and managers of Mr.. Goode
embraced the cause of readiustment and
chose Malone for their leader. Some of
these remain with him still, and by informa.
ton of what occurred at the time referred
to, in furtherance of the election of Goode
have encouraged the present fierce attack
on that gentleman. Extraordinary to say,
one of the most prominent and influential
democrats of Southampton county, John III.
Bogart, esq, was summoned by the Mahone
managers, and he, it is understood, testified
Wednesday that the election of Goode was
believed by nearly all the democrats in that
section to have been accomplished by impro-
per means. He went, it is said, so far as to
say that all Intelligent people are agreed as
to that fact. But he could tell of nothing
which brought home TO Mr. Goode any gull
ty knowledge whatever. It seems rather
bold move of Malone TO have brought Mr.
Rogart here,a it was 30 recsnt as during the

Still Interfering with the Running of Trains.
ST.. LOUIS, March 26.--The situation at
East st. Louis this morning. is becoming
serious. Tho yard masters of the different
roads have been attempting all the morning
TO make up and start out freight trains, but
they have in every instance hesn prevented
from carrying out their designs by The strik'
ing switchmen, who are using all means at
their disposal to make the freight blackadc
in that city complete. Coupling pins are
moved from their positions, and the trains
bee omc separated; switches are reversed
and the trains are run upon the wrong
tracks, and in some instances the yard mas
ters have been forcibiy restrained in their
ellor:s to resume freight traffic. No serious
troubles have rs yet occurred, but it is UNI
derstood that the officers Of the law will be
called upon to-day, to preserve order aud
properly, and conflict between them and
the strikers is expected to occur.

SENATOR RIDDLEBERGER, it seems. is
bound to keep himself before the public, if
not in the Senate, at least on the outside OF
it. He yesterday had disgraceful quarrel,
followed by blows, with his old associate
aud boon companion, ''Blind" Jones, at the
door of the Senate. Virginia has precious
pair of Senators, but, ofthe two, Senator Ma
hone is by far the more respectable. He
regards responsibility at least to the extent
of assuming it's possession.
