A NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The Chronicte-which paper seems to find il
quite impossible to state anything fairly in re-
gard TO District matters,-says the Star was
not pleased with the manner in which the re-
turned Confederates were treated by Col
Forney in his Philadelphia letter, and thinks
we have forgotten s'the excellent article" we
wrote lately denouncing the conduct of GER
tain returned sprigs of chivalry who have mis-
behaved themselves. The Chronicle reproduces
our article, for which we are much indebted to
that paper, since it supplies the readers of the
Chronicle with some wholesome facts they are
not likely to obtain otherwise in behalf of the
slandered people of this District. We have to
say that we feel no displeasure against Col.
FOrney or any body else for demo uncing
any bad conduct on the part of returned
Confederates: on the contrary, we will
cooperate with him heartily in such
denunciation. What we did object to-as
every reader of the Star knows-was, that Col
+. represented this whole community as of
this returned-rebel persuasion. He has per-
sistently spoken of the immense vote against
negro suffrage here as being made up mainly
OF returned rebels, when he must have known
that had every individual thus returned here
so voted, (and in fact they We're not allowed to
vote at all, il would not have amounted to one
hundred votes. Mr.. Sayles ]. Bowen, whose
uuthfulness the Chronicle will not deny, ad-
mitted in his serenade speech that the vote
against negro suffrage was largely republican,
and yet the Chronicle has never to this day cor
rected this SANDER; but on the contrary repeats
it day by day, and apparently intends to until
Congress has acted upon the measure, when
we venture to predict, II will tardily concede
that the vote really represented the feeling of
the bona .fde Union citizens of Washington.
To show how this Misrepresentation is per-
sisted in for this mischievous end by the Chron-
icle and its twin Press, we quote the following
from the Special of the Philadelphia Press of
January 9:
mayor Wallach's letter against negro suf-
frage, sent this morning TO Congress, is the first
strong exhibition of feeling which that distin-
guished gentleman has shown on any subject
since the beginning of the rebellion. He par
AIDES the SIR thousand rOtes hrO,cn against cofored
Suffrage but does not state that nobody took part in
the election bt certain set Of politicians IChO hare
Sympdthized NTH the rebellion from the first
When we recollect how these one-sided cleo
tons are conducted elsewhere, and recall the
manner in which the Southern States were
forced out of the Union by fraudulent cleo
tons, and by overawing independent citizens
the manPUyre of Mr.. Wallach assumes a very
ridiculous appearance"
1t would be useless to waste words in refu-
tation of this atrocious talsehood. We simply
use it to place it on record.
