te., and probably the only three who will
be present at the meeting OF the committee
tonight, are Senator Quay, Assistant Post
master General Clarkson aud Col. Dudley,
ali boon companions OF Gen. Malone and
men of his own kind. The belief that that
committee will do anything opposed to the
Generals interests is not entertained by
auy except the most obtuse of the
kickerg. The General has arrived and ia at
his old quarters at Chamberin's, where his
two committees met to.day, each with full
complement of members. General Groner
and Col. Brady, leaders Of the kickers, are

al republican committee had been requested
to take no action on what might be proposed
by General Mahone's committee, until they
could be heard, aud that they thought
O satisfactory settlement Of the party differ
ences in their State would be effected. When
told that General Malone would not recog
n;ze them or their claims, upon the ground
that such recognition would only be making
something out of nothing, General Groner
replied that the Generals recognition was
of no consequence to them, and that they
were as well without az they would be
with 1t. He also intimated that some people
might yet be mistaken az to the recognition
the administration and the national republi
can committee would give General Malone.

the executive committee of the national
republican committee to endorse bic call
for State convention, az with their i'm
primatur be can well afford to tell
the "kickers" TO go to Helena, Helvetia
or anywhere else to which they
may be inclined. What had been done by
either Of he committees referred to. or by
the "kickere," had not trsnspired up to to 3
