STOPPING A NEGspApER.-Some people seem to
think that their subscription to newspaper obli-
gates the editor to advocate their own peculiar
views on all questions which affect the public for
getting that an editor should be an independent
being, honest enough to give his opinions and let
his readers judge of what they are worth TO
those who are ready to send word, "Stop my Pa
per- because the editor expresses his honest opin-
ion, formed after careful research and mature de-
liberation, we commend the following little story ::
A certain man hit his toe against pebble and
fell headlong to the ground. lie was veked, aud.
under the influence of anger and selt-suffciency,
he kicked muther earth right saucily. With i'm
perturable gravity, he looked to see he earth itself
dissolve and come to naught. But the earth re-
manned, and only his poor foot was injured in the
encounter.
This is the way of man. An article in news
paper touches him in weak spot, and slraightway
he sends to .Stop his paper!" With great self
-complaccncy he looks to see the crash when the
object of his spleen shall cease To be. Poor fool,

does not perceptibly feel the shock and Injuries to

GIG1NTIC ER1UD.

# in evidence before the magistrates in our
Courts that gigantic forgeries of Naturallza-
ton papers have been committed in this CITY,
both last year and this year and thousands OF
those papers either have been or will be used
to Justify registration in this City, Brooklyn,
and the surrounding country. Some OF these
papers have been seized, and, being
shown 70 Nathaniel Jarvis, Clerk OF
the Superior Court he has pronounced
his name appended thereto forgery. OF
the persons engaged in distributing these forged
papers to those who were expected to register
under them, several have been arrested, and
will be dealt with according to law. In re-
peated cases already made known, aliens OF
recent immigration have been offered these
forged papers, and invited to register thereon.
Further and more specific developments will
soon be made.
We call upon every register in our City TO
make himself thoroughly acquainted with the
genuine signatures of Mr.. jarvis and the other
clerks of our naturalizng Courts, so as to be
able to distinguish and detect the forged sigma
lures whenever presented. And, whenever one
turns up. let the holder he handed over to the
officers of Justice mt once. There can be no
misapprchension in the premises. Every
one knows that an alien must be five
years a resident in order TO be entitled to
Naturalization and he who has not been here
so long knows that any paper offered to him
which purports to he Certificate of NaturaI-
zation is a forgery TO offer to register on n
forged certificate is crime punishable by law.
Let every one who offers one be forthwith ar
rested and held to answer for his crime.
Registers, be faithful. be vigilant! be fear
less He who seeks to register, not being en-
titled TO vote, seeks TO corrupt the Suffrage
and rob the legal voters of their rights IL Is
your duty to detect the villains and
bring them TO Justice. Forcwarned j, fore
armed. Look sharp at every Natural
ization paper presented tomorrow or next day,
especially if it bears date in 1866 or 1867, and
purports TO be signed by Nathaniel Jarvis as
Clerk. And be sure to arrest the first villain
who presents a forged paper, ana keep arrest
ing so long as any shall be presented.
