Sanford COnOver -- General Dix in
montreal.
A Montreal letter to the New York
Tribune furnishes that paper the following
interesting items of news:
SANFORD CoNovER.
He has as many aliases as 3 Newgste
thief, and having served the rebel cause as
James Wstson Wallace, and again as Col
George w. Msrgrsve (by which title the
Secretary Of War, Seldom, always address
ed him. he would seem to have become
incensed against his late fsllow-conspir-
Ators, and IN an unwonted moment Of
honesty, told in Washington the exact
truth about the whole operation. But,
returning to Montreal, fifteen of the gang
got him into 3 room, and, by threats,
terrified him into denying that he wss Con-
over at all, and compelled him to swesr
that the evidence was given by some other
mar who had stolen his personality. So,
too, In order 70 clinch matters, no offered
q reward of $500 for the arrest of his coun-
terfeit presentment," and fed towards the
States. But, e the border, he fell in
the way OF a police officer who had heard
of the advertisement, and arrested him to
get the reward himself had offered. Back
again to Montreal, he was imprisoned for
debt, but got out by the help of friends,
and succeeded in masking good his escape.
He is said to be 8 fine looking man, and
fortunate in the possession of a wife as fer
tile in aliases as himself.
The VISIT Of GEN. DIX.
Apropos Of all this is the visit of Major
General Dix, who came quietly on Satur-
day evening, with his daughter, an aid and
orderly, and took rooms ST st. Lawrence
Hsll. Of course the advent caused q deal
Of speculation, and the Rebels living un-
der ban of President Johnson's proclsma-
ton, are in a state of curious perturbation.
The General looked quietly about during
Sunday and Monday, conferred a good deal
with United States Consul General Potter,
visited the old Catholic school where he
was partly educated, inspected the city
suburbs and Holy Festival, and went down
to Quebec in the steamer last evening.
What his business is people don't seem to
know, though they would greatly like TO
learn. His departure for Quebec
gave plsusibiliiy TO the theory that
he is on 8 visit TO the increasingly
famous goId-mines of. the Cbsudiere. in
which he is said TO be interested; but this
shows the dsngera Canadian incnrs when
he infringes on the Yankee prerogative of
guessing. As New York is some distance
from Montreal I suspect the truth will be
harmless by the time it has Travelled 10 it,
Especially if in company with necessary
bsggageG and l may as well say that Ma
jor General Dix goes to Quebec on a visit
TO the Governor General of Canada, to in
form him, in his own plain, patriotic and
convincing way, that the shameful abuses
of the right of asylum 80 long prscticed
by the Canadian Government, in behalf of
the vile criminals of Secession, must be
TeformedI And Whist loyal American will
not respond, ArseHl
