NATURALIZATION.
We acknowledge the receipt of commu-
nication from "An Alien Subscriber" in re-
ference to the short article which Appeared
in this paper On the s9lh ult. with respect
to the naturalization OF aliens; and reques-
ting more precise information OF that sub
ject
Without preface, we proceed to inforln
him, that there are three things indispensa.
bic 70 the naturalization Of an alien in the u
nited States; namely:
l. A report Of himself on his arrival.
2. A declaration, two years afterwards, OF
bonfde intention to become citizen.
2. And, three years after that, a decla-
ration, upon oath or affirmation, 10 support
tie constitution of the United States,
and a remuneration of all Foreign allie
glance.
1t is believed that the first of these requis.
ties has, in many former instances, been
neglected: and that, from loose practice
in some of our courts, aliens have passed to
the final act of naturalization, and entered
upon the rights of citizenship, without
compliance with it at all. X ito this par
ticular, vie. the Report on arraral, that we
have wished to draw the attention OF persons
Interested, and to advise them that it is not
suficien, to begin with the Declaration Of In
fenfion. Without the preliminary report, in
fact, all the proceedings will be vitia:ed,
null and void: and, however long any alien
may have been resident in the United States
il he has omitted 10 repolt himself, he
must with view 10 citizenship, begin
by doing so; unless he resided within
the limits of the Uuited States between
between the 18th Of June, 1898. and tie
18th Of April, 1909; in which case. for rea-
sons connected with the political history OF
the country. he is favored by the provisions
Of the act OF Congress of the 25th Of March,
1894.
Congress have been aware Of the omission
with regard to the report on arrival; and
with the design Of nstructiDg the marshala,
clerks and proihonotaries of Courts, and the
collectors of the customs, on this head, by a
resolution of the 10Th OF April, 1915, they
directed the Secretary of State to cause four
thousand copies Of the laws in furce respect.

buted. This, we understand. was DONE
And, at the same session, to prevent Hatur-
alization with like omissions in future, the
Congress enacted the law OF the 22d oil
March. 1916, which requires that the certi-
6cate Of report. and the certificate Of deela-
ration Of intention, shall both be exhibited
by every alien, arriving in the United States
after the 18th of June. 1913 and applying
to be admitted to citizenship; and both these
certificates are to be recited, at full
IengtH, in the record of the court admitting
such alien,
In conclusion, the act Of the I4th of April
1909. (which will be found at page AIS,
vol. 8, of the new edition Of The Laws oi
The U. States contains all the rules neces-
~ 10 be observed by an alien who is desir-
Gus Of becoming citizen; what has been
enacted sinc.. being for the special purpose
OF enforcing those rules.
