MAuoSE's CHANCES FOR a CABINET APPOINT
MEST AS stated in yesterdays GAZETTE Gen
Malone is in Washington in conference with his
friends in reference to an appointment in the next
Cabinet The Virginia republicans claim tia
some Southern man should go into the Cabinet
and Gen. Mahoncs friends and admirers contend
that he is the man. The Washington Press says
Mr. Quay was present at tho conference on Mon
day. and his influence, it is understood, is to he
used to assist Gen. Malone in obtaining the de-
sired position" Congressman ID. l.. Russell, Of
North Carolina, says 'the entire republican North
Carolina delegation is strongly in favor of Malone
for Postmaster General. 1t is also stated that
delegations from Alabama South Carolina and
other Southern States viii indorso him for Sec
retaryship. The South must be represented and
the General is the choice of the Southern people
Per contra Mr.. John S. Wise gays: Il am conf.
dent MIR. Harrison will never appoint General
Malone to place in his Cabinet, and therefore it
will not be worth while to oppose him. Elk
Congressman Lbbey expresses himself quite
strongly concerning Gen. Malone: Il do not
think Gen. Malone has any chance OF getting
place in the Cabinet for the reason That after
careful consideration of Gen Harrison's future
policy toward the South, ! can hardly believe thst
he will aggravatc the feelings of Southern demo-
Gratis by the appointment of Gen. Malone TO a
place in his Cabinet. We're he appointed St
master General, the Postoilico Department would
probably be turned into party machine, and
Gen. Harrison, who has come out strongly for
civil service reform, will not be likely to bestow
one of the highest gifts of the administration upon
Gen Mahone"

WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-The republican
Senators held caucus this morning as a
result of which Messrs. Morrill, and Sher-
man submitted to Messrs Vest and Harris,
representing The democratic side OF the
chamber, proposition to agree to recess

ate uotil adjournment. This the democrat
ic conferees refused to accept and, it is said,
another conference will be held to morrow.
A caucus of democratic Senators will he
held this evening to decide upon a propo-
sition concerning tho holiday recess to be
made to the republicans tomorrow. The
proposition agreed upon by the republican
Senators touching the holiday recess was
that On adjournment should be taken Sstur-
day next until January Sd, in case the dem
ocrats would agree to vote on the passage
of the tariff bill on the 10th of January.

THE PH1LADELpHIA Record SAYS

'The color line as it is drawn in the South
seems to be necessity for the preservation
of stable government, and this condition has
been acquesced in as readily by intelligent
cilizens of Northern birth and bringing up
az by those of Southern nativity"
This shows that all the people in the
North are not ignorant, nor pretend to be,
OF thetrue condition of the race question in
the South. It doesn't take reputable and
intelligent Northern republican long to
learn to vote the democratic ticket after be
becomes citizen Of the South.

THE REPUBLICAN CLUE of New York has
decided that it will not admit as members
either Jews or negroes. That is pretty
rough on the negroes, whose votes elected
the republican candidates at the recent
election; but how any Jew could have ap
piled for admission, after the gratuitous pub

them out of his military department, is pass
ing strange to that large class Of people who

TWENTY FIVE members of the U. S.

to strike out of the legislative bill the sec
ton providing an appropriation for the en-
forcement of the civil service rules. On the
subject referred to these twenty five mem
bers voted in accordance with the spirit OF
free and equal American institutions, aud
in doing so represented the opinion Of at

A DISPATCH from Birmingham, Alabama,
says a committee of six prominent maru
facturers of that town, all democrats have
started for Indianapolis to present to Mr..
Harrison an address signed by about one
hundred p: election democrats, "congratu-
lating him aud the country upon his e'ec
ton, aud d. .rIiog their belief that the pro-
tective tariff presents an issue free from
sectional feeling and prtjudice on which
the people Of the South can divide accord
ing to the dictates of reason and conviction. "
Democrats congratuating republican upon
the defeat OF their own partyi The democ
racy OF such men is so modern and PRO
eressive" that an old time democrat could
rot understand it were it not for the fact that
tuey also say ",he tariff presents en- issue
zee from sectional feeling and pre- judict
on which the people OF the South can now
divide according to the dictates of reason
and conviction" That explains it all. For
if the people of the South shall divide, the
carpet bagsers, scalawegs and negroes would
soon have entire control OF Southern affairs,
and the south be no longer region il
which reputable white man would like to
live. The South, to be habitable by orderly
and intelligent people, Cal not afford 20
divide on any issue or question, but must
remain solid

eighty million, ali Of which would go to the

of it. Now that Southern congressman

hereafter they may vote on such bills in &C
