Others, bearing on the same subject we know to be
genuine but the fasity OF part, for the present at
least dscredts the Interpretation OF the whole. The
forgeres were manufactured for money, although
IN their novel and ingenious features they we're very
like certain recent forgeries by which prominent Dusl
ness men have been mulcted and we can only regard
them the work of interruptions political faction
which has taken into Its service OF the most expert
and wary rascals outside Of the State Prison.
1t s relief 10 know that spared the additional
disgrace in which these fictitious disclosures would have
involved the country; but It is sad commentary on
the condition Of official morality that forger can manu-
fscture scandaous documents such as was laid before
us, without oversteppng the bounds OF probability, or
without shocking the belief of those highly reputable
political opponents OF own from whom came TO US
the first assurances of belief in their authenticity

AN EFFORT TO ARREST LEADERS OF THE REYoLU-
TIONARY MOVEMENT SAID TO HAVE CAUSED
DIsTURBANCEs-THE REPORT DIsCREDITED BY
THE ATToRNEY-GENERAL
IBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIDUSEl
WASHINGTON. Sept. ga report was current
about the streets tonight that news had been
received by the Government from New Orleans that
disturbances had again broken out in that city
between the two factions, and that more serious
outbreak was apprehended. The report assumed to
come from the War Department, and the
reported cause of the difficulties was the
effort on the part of the Kellogg Govern
ment to arrest of the principal leaders of the
opposition in the previous troubles. The Attorney
General said tonight that he had heard of such
news having been received, and was confident If
there had been difficulties occurring or threat
ened that he would have been informed of the fact,
and he discredited the report in every shape. When
asked if he had any correspondence with the Kel-
ence to the propriety of making arrests of persons
prominent in the Penn movement, the Attorney
General said he had not, and that no advice con-
ference. or correspondence such subject had
been had with the Government here. He said lie
had right to give such advice, nor did it concern
the Government Officially. 1t was o question
to be settled by the State Government and the
Courts, and he should not IN his official character
consider the subject in any shape. His personal
Judgment would be against making any arrests, at
least for the present.
