The New York newspapers generally dis
credit the statement Of James Fisk, Jr., and
the afidAvits Of his creatures, concerning
Al1. Corb5n. The World has an exceed
ingy diiactic article on the Presidents
family relations, nnd the various gift entcs-
prises OF which he has at one time and
another been the subject, but il ssudiously
avoids any expression Of belief in
the truthfuluess of Fsk's statements. On
the contrary, it shows that the ptans of
Fisk md lis friends we're really frustrated
by the Interference Of the President and
The Secretary Of the Treasury, and hence
that Fisk has abundant reason for seeking
veugeance on the President. The Tribune,
1Smts, and Pest reject Fisk'a statements ns
unworthy Of a moments consideration >
