United States Senator William Ma
none OF Virginia. who as a Confed-
crate general, gained at the siege of
petersburg the title Of "The Hero Of
the Crater" was sitting listelssly in
nis seat, the first on the rear row OF
the Republican side of the Senate, one
April day in 1881 The Senate was in
special session. Senator Malone had
hardly had time to get accustomed to
his senatorial t0ga, for he had only

March 4.
Suddenly, Senator Malone became
greatly interested the President had
Just sent to the Senate nominations
for postmasters for some of the
larger Southern cities. Malone had
been a member Of the Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads, and as
he was she only member Of the Sem
ate from the South affiliated at that
time with the Republican party. he
was expected to exercise care that all
Post Office appointments made i'm the
South would be such as would prove
satisfactory to the Southern Republic
cans
The Senator made haste to read
over the list of nominations and he
discovered among them the nomina-
tion Of one John Allen to be post
master at Columbia, Sautk Carolina.
40 once Senator Malone went from
one to another of the Republican Sem
ators seeking Information about John
Allen At last he obtained It, Sem
ator Roscoe Conhing informed bin
that he understood that John Allen
had been made postmaster of Colum-
bia by President Hayes, and that the
present nomination was a reappoint-
ment. Furthermore, the New Yorker
said that Allen was a colOred man,
and that he believed his nomination
had been approved by the two Sena-
tors from South Carolina. Wade
Hampton and Matthew c Butler, both
OF whom were Confederate veterans.
"Impossiblei' Malone exclaimed.
General Butler approves the ap-
Dointment Of a colored man for
Office? Wade Hampton recommends
the appointment of q colOred man for
postmaster Of Columbia? Why, Co
lumbia is Wade HampiOn's own town.
I shall have to look into this immedi-
ately."
AS sOON as can CDutN Iahe uln

partment and made his way without

Yes; not a full-blooded negro. I
believe; but still a colored man."
"Who recommended him?"
"Well, the two South Carolina Sem
ators Wade Hampton and General
Butler. came to see me. I told them
that the President would like to res
appoint John Allen, unless they had
some valid objection. Wade Hampton
replied that Allen was a good man.
and very efficient postmaster. Then
I turned to General Butler and be
told me that he agreed fully with
