Washington, D. C., Oct. 12-(Special)- Gen. William Malone, ex-senator from Virginia, the hero of the crater, who died on Tuesday, was a remarkable man and possessed of career that, looking back upon it, can but fill one with sad ness At one time numbered among the idols the south loved and ranked with Stonewall Jackson, Lee and Gordon in the memory of the men who bore arms in the defense of their country and their opinions, by one act lured on by ambi- tion's fickle flame, he brought down on his head the unrelentless hate of his erstwhile companions in arms and went down to his grave ostracised by neigh bors he had known all his life, an Ish- mael of politics, his hand raised against every democrat and the hand of every democrat raised against him. Malone attempted and won in Virginia what Reuben Kolb attempted and failed to ac- complish in Alabama.
 Like Kolb, he was a candidate for gov ernor in the regular democratic conven- tion, and like Kolb he was defeated. Like Kolb, when rupture came, he was the leader of the independent wing; bur, unlike Kolb, he was not the candidate, but had his friend nominated. Mahone. at the head of the readjusters, won, ana Malone then became candidate Tor the United States senate and was elected. Kolb, losing in his fight for the governor ship, became also a candidate Tor the senate, but was defeated. Malone pald the price of his treachery to his people, his state and his party, and after serving one term was not reelected, and from the 4th of March, 1887, until his death at Chamberlan's, in this city, on Tuesday last, the once valiant general and idolized hero spent his days in the vain endeavor to regain his lost position.
 The Tiger Is Lashlng His Tail.
 There is much interest felt here in the result of the elections to be held in New York next month, and if the signs of the times count for anything Tammany-pao, bold, corrupt Tammany-is going 10 come out victorious, and right few there are in Washington who will be sorry.
 The issue in New York Is personal lib- erty against a set of -would-pe omce holders and Purtans who think the aver age American citizen must go to church on Sunday whether or no, and while strict regard for the Sabbath Is earnestly advocated, yet Tammany's position, that 1t is mans inherent right to live, to love, to worship and to adore when and where and how the soul in its untrammeled in telligence shall direct, appeals strongly to the people, and when the ides of No vember have come and gone the tiger will be flashing his tair' in triumph despite the "googoos," the State Democ- racy and the republicans.
 The result of the election held in h. dianapolis last Tuesday, when the issue was almost identical with that in New York, and a republican majority of 5000 two years ago was overcome ana the democratic candidate flor mayor was elected by some 4000, gives color to the reports of Tammany's success
 rI,l-- fr@OY Il( n given courage to all the demcrats here, and a saying of Ex-Senator Mcdonald IS recalled "As goes Centre township, said the ex-senator, "so goes Marion county; as.goes Marion county, so goes Indiana, and as Indiana goes so goes the union. On the occasion of the ex-sena- tors remarks Centre township. in which Indianapolis is located, went democratic and democratic victory followed in the state and union.
 tss Contested Election Cases.
 All the testimony in the contested cleo tion cases from Alabama is In and the , briefs of all the contestants have been filed with the clerk, except that of Good Wyn in the Goodwin vs. Cobb case. The only brief for any of the contestees that has been filed is that of Robbins from the Fourth district. It is gotten up in neat pamphlet form and comprises seventy, one pages. Percy Wood of Selma and Shelley & Martin of Washington are signed as counsel.
 As to the contests in the Fifty-fourth congress 1t is generally conceded that un- less the contestant has an exceptional case the member with the prima facie right will be seated. Reed told friend of mine the other day that all cases of contest would be decided purely upon their merits and that unless the republi- cans who were contesting had good case to base their contest upon they had hae. l,ox do, hn nnC nrlf fVnl
 The probability is that Judge Daniel of New York will be made chairman of the committee on elections, and if he is a fair and impartial hearing is as- sured. Judge Daniel of Buffalo repre- sents the Thirty-third New York dis trict. He was for twenty-eight years justice of the supreme court of New York and he Is well thought of by repub- licans and democrats alike with whom he has come in contact.
 Personal and Pertinent.
 The rumor that Representative Bank head would probably be a candidate for governor had been current in Washing ton for quite week before the telegram from Selma in last Sundays State Her. aid was read here, and only tended to give corroboration to the rumor. Mir. Bankhead has made quite a reputa ton during the eight years he has represent ed his district in the house of representa- tives, and his record during the war, having entered the service of the Con- federacy when little more than boy, would make him a formidable candi- date should he determine to make the race.
 The Mobile Register having disposed of General Shelley's candidacy to it's own liking it would not be amiss for me to further state that the general will pos- jtiyeIy not be a candidate for governor, but there Is every probability that he will take an active part in the campaign next year. striving. as he always has done. for harmony in the party and for .r.t,. ..1ft tlxe fonc nfd da,,
