ponsEY,s CHRoNICLE,

The disgraccfnl detraction and billings
oate abuse of the President daily spread
before the country through the columns Of
Forneys paper do not meet with endorse
ton by many Of his radical adherents.
Indeed, it is seriously suggested by some
that the malignity and unscrupulousncss
of such TRADES should elicit interference at
the hands of General Grant. Such pro-
sedure, however, would not meet the views
of the President, as all such attacks from
the author of the Rob rts letter fall HARM
less at his feet.
THE PRESIDENT Furnishes HIS ENEMIES.
The President Is OF last being awakened
to realization of the fact that the Depart
mcnts are filed with incumbents who daily
traducc and libel him. A Radical occu-
pying q position in the Interior Depart
ment, heretofore Acknowledgements of
western State, for his open and malignant
denunciation of the President was invited
to rclinquish his position, which he did
with very wry face.
GRANT AND SHERMAN.
The Democrats here are claiming that
Generals Grant and Sherman are both
warmly in favor Of the Philadelphia Con-
vcntion, and will use their influence to in
sure its success.

New YORK, July 5.-Vela Cruz dates of
the 22d ultimo have been received. The
vomito was raging in that city, and many
deaths had occurred. The French troops
that evacuated Matamoras had arrived. 1t
was believed that Santa Anna was acting
in the interest of the Church party, and
expected to be elected President on con-
dition that he would restore their property
to the churches. Macmillan continued
recognizing and concentrating troops. Re-
Inducements had been dispatched to San

moving against that city.
