Confirmed.

day or two since we chronicled the occur
renee Of spicy interview between President
Grant and Senator Ross. 1t meets with the fol-
lowing confirmation from the correspondent of
the Chicago Tintes:-
'Qute a scene occurred at the White House
on Saturday last 1t appears that Senator Ross
of Kansas obtained an Interview with the Presi-
dent and protested against the denomination of
one Babcock for Surveyor-General of that State
the appointment failing to be acted on last
week-and added that Senator Pomeroy and Re-
preventative Clarke had been making pretty
much all the Kansas appointments. Grant re-
piled that it was useless to say more as his mind
was already made up on the Surveyorship. Ross
continued protesting, when Grant said, II tell
you my mind Is made up. don't want to hear
Grant moved towards him, and said. 'Get ont of
this house instantly, and never set your foot in

as will satisfy the most exactiug and Jealous on
the point of national honor. If the reported out
RACES and insults TO our flag prove to be founded
on facts and are not gross eXaSgerations, Mr..
Fish will demand reparation promptly. Apply
ing this TO the case OF the Lizzie Major, il is said
he will demand that the two passengers be not
only surrendered without delay, but further,
that they be placed on board the American
brig from which they were taken, or some
other American vessel, and that the American
flag at the same time be saluted by the
Spanish man-of-war; further, he will demand
indemnity for the detention Of the passengers
and such losses as may have resulted from
their seizure. If these really bo his intentions,
and they are so stated to be by good authority,
Mr. Fish, after all, will only be responding TO
the popular wish. The Secretary of State has
replied to Captain Campbell's claim for redress
in the matter of the seizure of the brig Mary
Lowell, stating that the matter had been made
the subject of investigation before the Admiralty
Court, under the demand of the British Govern
ment; but that whatsoever might be the result,
he might rest assured the United States Govern
ment would protect all the rights of its citizens.
