NATURALIZATION FRAUDS.

The New York political newspapers
are filed with most fearful stories Of the
fraudulent issue Of naturalization papers
by their opponents, in order to manufac-
ture additional voters for the approach
ing election. Each side charges the
other with doing this thing to about the
came extent, so that there is very good
chance, the frauds being balanced, for
honest voters to contest the election. 1t
is q very bad thing to cheat at elections,
hut since cheating, it appears, cannot be
prevented, it is some consolation TO
know that the swindling on one side
counterbalances the swiudliug on the
other.

cusing him of purposely throwing
political power into the hands of the
sympathisers and abettors of the re-
bellion. The new Police Commissioners
to-day went to the old Commissioners
Office where their appearance was the
signal for tumultuous demonstration Of
disapproval by the now largely increased
crowd. They handed in their demand
for possession of the premises, then re-
turned to the Conservative headquarters
to receive reply, and were then re-
ceived with loud cheering from the
crowd 1t is now understood that they
are organizing a new force. Five or six
members Of the old police force resigned

BROUGHT TO JUSTICE.

CoNoyER, the Infamous, has been ar
rested in New York and carried to Wash
ington. He is the villain who gave Sc
cret testimony before Congressional
committee in regard TO the assassination
imbroglio. He is the villain who pro-
cured one RoBERTs to swear TO false
statement with the view Of convicting
Mr.. DAVIS Of completely in the assassl-
nation of Mr.. LINCOLN. He is the villain
who has been used by the worst men that
ever disgraced official position. He is
the villain who should be tried for his
crimes, and, iffound guilty, be compelled
TO serve the rest of his days in the peni-
tertiary. We hope that the JOHNSON
governments will look after this fellow.
To the catalogue Of crimes which have
been charged to him, might be added,
no doubt, that Of murder. 1t is time to
make an example Of sll such villains.
The public men charged to have been
sccomplices Of this fend, are not, if the
accusation be true, whit better than he.
Ifthey cauno; be dragged to trial before
judicial tribunal, they should be COM
PEELED to walk through the red hot Goals
OF the public scorn Every virtnous fn-
ger, and every finger that is not over
vir;uous, should be pointed al them when
thew rise in the morning, when they rest
at noon, and when they lie down at
night. 1t was a safe proceeding, after
the surrender, and when DAVIS was
dragged to dungeon, to SANDER and
maltreat him. o, it was very brave, it
was sublimely magnanimous, to chain
his feeble limbs, to blind him with
lights never quenched, and to
employ the CoYoyERs to swear
him away to the gallows. But Time
has passed over the situation, lights
have streamed upon it and revealed acts
that cannot stand the scrutiny of justice.
A damnable plot was concoctcd to drag
the head of the Southern Confederacy to
the scaffold, not for treason, but for
assassination. 1t was the plan to bring
against him the false charge of murder,
convict him on that, and execute him
for treason. CoNoyER, the tool selected
for the occasion, becoming alarmed,
fed and left the plot shattered at the
feet of villainy. The Judiciary Com
mittee, when sitting the evidence, opened
their eyes in astonishmcnt at the magni-
tude Of the villains attempt They
made public report which was
a practical vindication of Mr.
DAVIS. The plot was a grand one;
but Justice, awaking from long sleep,
rose in its might aud overwhelmed the
conspirators with confusion. We trust
that the trial of CoYovER will fix the re-
sponsibilty on the guilty parties be they
high or low. Let him prove by whom he
was hired to swear falsely that DAVIS
might be hanged. Let him expose all,
ALL and bring the real criminals to JUS
tice
