/ A fraud has come to light in Phladcl-
phia, which is the topic Of conversation
all over the city this evening. AT the
late election foreigner was seen to pre-
sent himself al the polls with all the re.
quitite papers, unJ to be admitted as
duly naturalized and qualified, who was
known 10 have declared, a few days be-
fore, that he had never made declaration,
in tho manner prescribed by law, Of his
intention to apply for naturalization. An
inquiry was AT once instituted.
Resort was had to-day 10 the book
kept in the Office Of the Court of Quar-
ter Sessions, in which the declarations
are recorded, and the name was found
there us if recorded more than two years
since. An examination Of the book
showed that leaves had been inserted in
the place where record made two We ars
since wonld be found, and these leaves
contained between 10 and 80 ceitiica ates
Of intention, thus frnudulently placed on
record. The volume was at once taken
into Court and exhibited to the Judges.
Judge Jones openly pronounced the cvI-
deoce of muiilaiion and addition in the
volume to be unques ,ionable, and ex-
pressed his Indignation in very en-
phaiic manner.

for consultation in regard TO the mat
ter and il is not unlikely that all GER
iifcaies of naturalization which have
been granted within some certain period
wili be declared null and void. Other
books Of the same kind are kept in
other Offices, and bov many Of them
will exhibit similar frauds remains to be
seen. The clerks Of The office now in
