duty it is to gather offal at the Capitol for the
Herald sewers, in writing pitiable tale In
behalf of mail contractor, embraces the
opportunity to attack gentlemen whom he
takes to be that individuals enemies. Tho

of this blsckguardism. While it Is very clear
that the gentlemen assailed have not thought

formally before Congress, when the represen-

they will avail themselves or not of the
opportunity to make the acquisition which
the Executive has been laboring to procure
for them. It will be remembered that all We
have published with reference to this matter
has proved true to the letter. And now we
have to say that there can be little doubt in.

closed in ample time for the subject to be dis

HE NATURALIZATION LAws.-The Phila-
delGhia Lsdger Of yesterday says:
"Ihoseysyho contend for Congress fixing
t"enty.one years rs the period of residence
Tor foreignSrs before they shall be naturalized,
suppose that the matter is within the regula
ton OF Congress. This is partially and prac
ucaily a mistake. Congress only regulates
the subject as far as citizenship of the United
etates Is concerned. The individual States
claim and exercise the right of allowing any
resident the privileges Of q voter on just such
residence as the State Constitution may say is
necessary. Michigan allows any foreign born
citizen to vote on six months residence. The
greater number of States have abrogated the
period fixed by the laws of the United States
But the fact that States are sovereign in their
local affairs, and that some of them have al
together different rule, shows that Congress
has no power over tho individual States upon
this subject. This principle has been Judi.
c:slly established in Michigan"

CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate yesterday after we went to
press, Mr.. Adams concluded his speech in
favor Of his bill to amend the Nation alization
laws of the United States; saying, according
to the .Senttmefs 1eport,) that he simply de-
sired to extend the period of probation from
five to twenty one years. Even this provision
is prospective in its operation, as it did not
design to interfere with the naturalization Of
foreigners now resident of the Unit ed States
His design was to extend the probation of those
only who may arrive after his bill have be-
como a law, and be was prompted to this course
by the principle of self pr eservation, for he
looked with alarm upon the great accession of
foreign population. He said, among oher
things, that if the foreign vote should at any
time be strong enough to have controlling
influence in our elections, it would greatly i'm
pair the confidence of our people in tho sta
billy of the Government. The basis of our
political edlfce may be said to be the virtue
and Intelligence of the people, and the strong
est ligatares that bind it together are the con-
fdence and affections of the people; bu. what,
he asked, was better calculated to destroy the
confidence Of the country in our Government
than the admission to the ballot box of the
immense number Of uniformed foreigners
who ere now crowdiDg to our shores
The said bill was referred to the Judiciary
Committee. Shortly afterwards they ad-
