Bogus Land Warrants Forgers Ar
rested.
The u. S. Marshal last week ferreted out

u0 Qs .. &1dtoual taSe H0ck tcIEStcu Oue
an extensive scheme for the manufacture OF
bogus land warrants at Wbitestown. N Y.
in which an old soldier of 1919, named
Samuel G. Albro. Justice of Peace named
Wilcox, of the same place, c. Fl. Vail,
another Justice, and H. Fl. Bostwick, well
known lawyer of Auburn, were believed to
be the chief operators. These parties were
examined on Friday, when Bostwick was
discharged. .Albro and the Justices were
held to bail for trial in the q. s. Court at
Albany.
With regard to the extent of these swim
ding operations, the Rochester american
says:
1.-The frauds in land warrants have been
very numerous, and the Government is not
moving any too early toward the detection
and punishment of those who have been
guilty of this sort of imposition upon the
public bounty. It is said that the ap-
plications for warrants are more than double
the number of men who were mustered in
to service during the war. There are 30,-
600 from this State alone. The success of
this Samuel G. Albro is rather to be won
dered at. An old man. of perhaps 20 years
of age, having procured the rolls of compa-
nies serving in the war. selected the names
of persons known to be dead or out of the
wey, procured the blank applications of Mr..
Bostwiek, inserted the names, had Justice
of the Peace execute them, and then en-
pioyed Mr.. Bostwick to forward them to
Washington. Being regular on their face,
and the Department not having its eye
teeth cut, the scheme was successful. How
much Albro has realized does not appear.
He looks like a very poor old man, who is
near the end of his life; and has not the
courage now to hold up his head or deny
his guilt No examination is required in
his case. The proofs are too strong, even
were he not disposed to admit their full
force, for any resistance on his part.

The Democrats are trying hard to get the
credit of making Kansas Free State
They have always befriended and assisted
the squatters. They even went SO far as to
relieve them of the trouble of voting and
legislating. BY hiring the Missourians to do it.
If after such manifestation of regard for the
people of Kansas do not all bow the knee to
the Democracy, they are certainly very
ungrateful. and deserve to be obliged to do
their own voting and hold their own Offices.

The Border Rufian Democracy are be-
coming religious They call the Repubi-
cans the "Infdel party" On reading to
discover the "wherein" of this infdelity,
we find that it consists in denial of the
sacredness or Divinity of the institution of
negro slavery! The Democracy claim to
be orthodox on this point, and defend slave
ry from the Bible. The Republicans claim
that the Bible is a chart of Liberty instead
of an instrument for the enslavement of
mankind, and consequently they are party
of hgfdels.
This is by no means neW thing with the
Democracy. 1t is an old cry revived. We
thought they had abandoned it North of
Mason & Dixon's line; but the Lecompton
''organ" of ''the faithful: took it up last
week; and we presume that the test will be
applied to the renegades from the Free State
party who are seeking admission into the
Democratic ranks. ''Slavery is a divine
