how many newspapers protesting repugnance
to the interference even of naturalixed foreign
ers-citizsns to whom We have guaranteed all
American rights and privileges in common
with us who are TO manor born-in our pub
lie Affairs, there will be, that will condemn
this Infamous attack upon one of the purest,
ablest and one of the most valu able men in
the service Of the country at this time. Our
fear is, that not withstandiHg their loud pro-
LESSONS of disinclination to foreign interfer-
eAce in our affairs, the fact that Mr.. Chandler
is d catholic, will induce them to aid and abet
this attack from such q quarter on him, with
their sympathy.
Senator Stewards Reelection There was
great rejoicing yesterday among the numerous
personal friends of Senator Seward in this city
over his triumph, and he has quite as many
here as any other gentleman in public life.
For our part, it was not emily just what We ex-
pected, but, we think, just what ought to have
taken place in the present condition Of popular
sentiment in New York. While we hold liter
ally no view on any point OF public affairs in
common with Mr.. Seward. we believe he rep
resents faithfully the sentiments of bis State,
as repugnant as those sentiments are to US
We therefore think he is very fitting
representative for her, and fancy that less
mischief will result in the end from having
the tone of New York faithfully represented
in ba ted fato
resentation ef her calculated to cheat the
southern portion of the confederacy into the
false notion that she is not now, as before dead
ly hostile to what thoy--the South-regard as
their rights under the constitution of tho
United States.
More Convictions for Forging Bounty Land
Warrants.--Some time since, We announced
the arrest Of the brothers Bryan-Lewis ii.
and Joseph D.-of Florida, together with that
of Joseph A. Ellis, of the same State, for
forging bounty land warrants These parties
were men of high standing, and strenuous ef-
forts were made by their friends to prevent
their indictment. Ten true bills were, how
ever, found against them, on one of which the
brothers Bryan have been convicted, and &C
Quilted on smother of them The authorities
here are daily in expectation of hearing the
result of their trials under the remaining in
dictments. Ellis has, so far, been acquitted.
Those convictiens make Gftson in all of Pen
sion and Bounty Land paper fos gers since the
present Commissioner, Mr.. Loren p. Waldo,
came into Office. 1t is a remarkable fact that
the bureau, under bis auspices, has caused the
arrest and prosecution of but 4 single person
whose conviction it has fai,e- to bring about
This success is unprecedented in the history
OF the criminal jurisprudence Of any country.
III. Attorney Geueral Cushing and the
star.-Some wise acre is writing to Northern
newspapers that Gen. Cushing has been writ
ing an article or articles for tho S.or on the
Central American Expedition question We
have to say that this story is utterly and
wholly false. We edit our paper wholly with
out the assistance Of any writer whose name
is not at the head Of our columns Neither en-
Cushing, nor any ono bat the editors of tia
Star, ever saw the articles in question before
they were in print.
