TIE ASTOUNDING FRAUDS.
How the moral sense of tie communi-

American communiIy-regard the daring
and atrocious frauds recently disclosed,
and which threaten the subversion of all
right and purity in our elections, will ap-
pear by the following letter from highly
esteemed citizen of Of Connecticut:
"The astounding and horrible disclo-
sures that have recently been made in
New York, are filling the whole country
with alarm. If confidence in our cleo
tionsis destroyed, the republic cannot
exist. No honest man of any party can
view this matter with any other emotions
than those ofgrief, Indignation and alarm,
The whole moral sense Of the people is
outraged at this daring conspiracy agains:

Grinnell. and the gentlemen implicated,

THE GLENTWORTH PAPERS Al
LAST.-ASTOUNDING DISCLO-
SURES OF THE MORALS OF
POLITICS.
At last the "Glentworth Papers" are
out-lhese mysterious evidences Of pO-
litical morals are now spread before the
world. Read them and shudder, all ye
pious moralists of Wall street!
In the investigation before the Recor-
der, yesterday, full report of which is
given in another part Of this paper, our
readers will find a correct transcript Of
these damning evidences of fraud and
villiany of "highly respectable members
of society" All the charges made by
Stevenson are made out TO their fullest
extent. The letter of GlentwOrth him
self, written TO one Of the Wall street
clique, Glentworth's associate, and ad-
dressed TO tho "appointing power"
through (it is said) Mr.. Welmore, is a
masterpiece of eloquent composition.
Severity, recklessness and audacious
effrontery run thro' it in equal proper
tiOns. Mr.. Glentworth boldly avows his
acts, and charges the Governor and his
friends with the like knowledge Of these
frauds, "lfI am guilty, you are guilty
too" This is made still stronger, from
the fact which these "papers'' reveal, of
the enormous amount of money dsbursed
by Glentworth, in The business o" f"laying
pipe" The following is condensed ta-
Bile ofthe amount expended on "pipe,"
as taken from the vouchers:

NATURALIZATION.

The terms upon which an Alien can be ma
turalized are as follows: IL
A residence of 5 years is this country is re-
quired. s&
The Alien must declare his intetion to be-
come citizen before a court of record, or
before clerk ofsuch court two years at least
before his admission. t5,
This declaration need NOT be made if the
alien resided in the United States previous to
the 9Th of June 1872; nor if he be minor
under2l years of age and shall have resided
in this country years next preceding his
arrival to majority. 1t is sufficient to be
made at the time of his admission, and that
he then declare on oath and prove to the satis-
faction Of the court, that it was his bona fide
intention to become citizen. Then the 5
years residence, including the 8 years before
he become of age, will entitle him to take the
oath and become citizen. He must at the
time of his admission satisfy the court by
other proof than his own oath, that he has
resided years in this country, one of which
must be in the state where the court is held.
The law further provides that the children
of persons daily naturalized, being minors at
the time, shall be deemed citizens--and il
any alien die after his declaration, and before
his admission, his widow and children shall
be deemed citizens-a person thus naturali-
zed is entitled to vote.- See Renfs Com
a,entaries, vol. 2, p, 81. ts@

THE COFFIN.


The Coffin is come, tits dreadful sound
And tears are gushing anew,
For the family, wrapp'd in grief profound,
Have caught that sound as it flew;
1t sendeth shock 10 each aching heart,
Suspending with awe the breath;
It says that the living and dead must part,
And seems like second death.
Now heavy and slow is the bearers tread
Ascending the winding stair,
And the steps which are echoing over head
Awaken wild dispair;
They know by the tread of those trampling feet
They're lifting the silent dead,
And laying him low, in his winding sheet,
In his dark and narrow bed.
Come follow the corpse to the yawning grave
The train is advancing slow;
See children and friends and the faithful slave
In a long and solemn show
Hark bark! to that deep and numbering sound
As they lower the coffin down,
IT'S the voice of earth-of the groaning ground
Thus welcoming back her own.
Now-ashes to ashes and dust to dust!
How hollow the coffin rings
And hands are uplifted to God, the Just,
The merciful King of Kings
farewell forever Forever FAREWELL"
Is heard as the crowd depart,
And the piteous accents, they seem to swell
From torn and broken heart.

THE LAST YANKEEIsM.-A yankee
some two or three years ago contrived a
way of making covered buttons, by just
COMPRISING an edge of metal, and SO in
one moment threw thousand woman out
of employment Another Yankee by a
different application of the same idea,
has contrived to put on buttons without
sewing, and that, too, so that they can
never come off, The invention is only
applicable to metal buttons, and chiefly to
those for suspenders and straps under
boots. The button is made in two parts,
the eve being bolt with large head. 1t
is put through the cloth and hole in the
button, when single blow rivets the two
parts together, never to be separated. The
thing is admirable, and already the man
who was fortunate enough to get posses
sion of the thought is making his fortune,
with more orders on hand than he can
supply. The same idea was applied to
eyeiet-holes not long since, and at once
the ladies were relieved from great deal
of labor, andcould Delay themselves much
tauter than before. Let the Yankees
alone, and in little while they will have
strawberry pickers,and whortleberry rakes,
and all such things.-M Y. Jour. Of
Commerce.

CITY OF WASHINGTON,

which you excel; your graceful from, and
the elasticity of your motions, the deli
cate shades of your complexion, the BEAM
ing splendors of your eyes, and the charm
ing melody of your voices, which are sub
ljects of universal admiration; but the
principal grace of your character is that
mysterious expression which the counte-
nance Of each of you conveys of the i'm
mortal mind within.
Milton says of Eve that "grace was in
all her steps, heaven in her eye, in every
gesture dignity and love-" In all these
respects you are superior to the other sex.
1t is not our intention, however, in prov
ing the equality of your sex, to make a
bill Of items, and balance the account be-
tween male and female; we say, in
word, that your intellectual powers are as
|capacious and efficient as those of the
males; and the perspicacity, discrimina-
ton and retentiveness of your faculties
are fully equal. To the believer in Chris
tianity, the infallible proof of your equal
ity is this, that in the Resurrection there
is no distinction in sex the official dis
tinction will then be abolished.
If we intended only to assign very
high station to woman, we might prove
her great elevation of rank, by citing her
irrecoverable face from her sphere when
ever such catastrophe unfortunately
happens; and lest it should, in any case,
we afectionately recommend it to her to
honor herself by keeping the command
ments, and walking in all the ordinances
of the Lord blameless.

AN APPEAL TO THE NAVY,
IN REHAIF OF THEIR BRAVE DEAD.

The navy has been in existence from
the first formation Of the Government, as
we may date its birth from the law of
Congress CIRCULATING the grades in the
army and navy" during which time it
has, been engaged in FIVE wars the Re-
evolutionary, Tripolitan, British, Algerine,
and the Piratical war of 1922, 3, and A,
through all OF which the navy won for the
country imperishable fame. She can boast
that not one act of treachery have been
committed by their brave commanders; all
have proved honest and patriotic in war,
from the renowned Paul Jones to the
humble Allen. Yet with all her fame, ra-
diant as the MONDAY sun, with all her
honesty and patriotism, firm as the rocks
and hills of our native land, all of her
brave and gallant commanders have been
permitted to slumber in the silent grave,
without monument to mark their place
of rest no cenotaph to retain them in
grateful remembrance. History has but
lately brought them forth from the musty
and worm-eaten records of the Navy De-
partment, where many Of humble stations
yet remain, but who are worthy to have
their names engraved on immortal mar
bic.
When the British mariner arrives on
his own coast, the first beacons which
greet his view are monuments erected to
the heroes of the British navy; every pro-
montory, hill, cape, and jutting rock, tells
in silent marble of the prowess of British
valor. Not only history, but the noun

tains and plains are made to bear record
that Nelson and aCollingwood lived. But
where are the mementoes Of our gallant
and patriotic Jones, McDonough, Perry,
and the brave but unfortunate Decatur,
the "mainmast of the navyp Each lives
in history, but no monument bears record
of their gallant actions Will you, broth
er officers of the navy, permit your brave
and patriotic dead TO remain without one
memento at least, to hold up their deeds
as an example worthy of imitation not
only by yourselves, but to the youths who
may hereafter engage in service of their
country. Let us follow the example set
us by the "fathers of the navy" who, af-
ter the tolls, dangers, and hardships, of a
piratical war, erected a monument to the
memory of their humble but brave COM
panions, Caldwell, Somers, Decatur, Trip
pie, and others. Let us excel them, and
prove to the country that we esteem the
bave dead of our own corps, and are will
ling to perpetuate the deeds of those who
may hereafter distinguish themselves.
The corner stone of the navy has been laid
by the gallant band Of men who were en-
ployed to quell the Algerine pirates; let
us finish the superstructure,
And to our dead monument to raise,
That shall to longest time resound their praise;
and prove to the country, which has neg
lected the navy and permitted it to linger
in sickly hope, that we have not forgot
ten or lost the chivalry of our forefathers.
