bill proposed to amend, was that providing for the
naturalization Of foreigners, and the section alluded
TO provided ''that no person shall be admitted to
become citizen of the United States who shall not
for the continued term of FIVE years next preceding
his admission aforesaid have resided within the
United States ichout being at any time during The saia
five year, out Of The territory efhe United States. Il
had been decided by the supreme court of New

ance ofhs statute, that individual ioho had eper,
other right 10 the privileges Of citizenship, should he
denied it because he had casually foot on the Ca
madam Shore during his residence Of FIVE years. IL
was proposed to repeal the last clause of the section
cited and give to individuals seeking it, the benefits
Of naturalization who had actually resided here the
requisite time, even though they had been Nth
out the territories of the United States during such
term Of residence, If such absence casual tenn
pnrarg If any one objected to this just and simple
change, then the bill would be contested, and could
not be taken up since the Senate had determined to
