How voters are made in the most eXpcdl-
tious manner and at the lowest cost under the
Tammany patent, is fully told IN announcer
column. The description suggests one OF VWo
legal considerations that should have been
taken into account yesterday in the registra-
ton. and it is not too much to hope that they
NAV serve rs a basis for judicous action to-
day.
The law requires that the registrars shall be
satisfied by the oath of the party, or other
,pise. that the certificate of naturalization
offered is an authentic one. The essence of
the statute is the requirement OF proof, salts
factory to the registrars, that the certificate
offered is an authentic copy of the official
record. The true process of authorization Is
by a reference to the record itself; and the
only way to secure this is for the registrars to
take memoranda of the certificates Offered
leaving the parties offering them to apply on
the next registration day-after opportunity
for examination shall thus have been secured
for the entry of their names upon the list
Thousands of spurious naturalization papers
were yesterday offered that under thus strict
and fair application of the law might have
been detected. VIII not registrars to-day,
acting under the sanction of their Oaths, and
having regard to the purity of the election,
take steps to secure the only proof of naturali-
zation that, under the existing circumstances,
can be satisfactory

TgR PRESIDENTS ORDER.

No act of President Johnson's career more
eficctualy proves his lttleness than hls recent
proclamation to the army, to which he has
forged the name of Gen. Grant. The order
consists of the sections of the Constitution and
acts of Congress passed prior to 1868, relative
TO Presidential elections and the dutles OF tho
army in relation thereto The Reconstruction
acts of Congress, passed since 1860, and the
ioint resolution of Congress- passed in July last
over his veto, he carefully Qmlts TO 1note or
publish. By the Reconstruction acts mode OF
setting up new State Governments is provided.
Without n State Government the people OF a
State cannot he entitled to representatives IN
Congress, and they can never be entitled by
the Constitution to any more Presidential Elec-
tors than they have representatives in Con
grcss. The Joint resolution of Congress,
therefore provides that until tho seeded
States bc reconstructed their votes for PTeSi-
Dental Electors shall not be counted IN the
Electoral College. These acts and resolutions
have been passed over the Presidents veto, but
acts so passed are as truly laws as those which
receive his signature. Why has the President
without comment published the earlier laws,
and suppressed the later bearing directly on
ihc snbjectg If he means his subordnates to
defy and dlsobcy the later why has he not had
the courage 70 say sol If he means that the later
laws, which repeal the earlier 50 far as they
conflict. shall he obeyed, why has he not pub
lIshcd the later! Is it not rs important to
publish laws now in force as those which have
been wholly OF in pant superseded The
present act is "A contempt of the authority oi
Congress rs gross as the Presidents defiance
of the Tenure of Office law, which so yearly
cost him his Office. The Presidents proclama-
tirn. if issued IN his own name would hardly
be of sufficient moment 70 deserve any notice.
But since il is issued in the name OF Gen.
Grant. and is designed 10 deceive or cmbarTass
.hc officers of the army. and to thwart the due
and proper execution OF the laws, it would be
only fair that Gen. Grant should issue like
order, continuing the Presidents citations of
law, from 1865 down 10 the present time, and
including the Reconstruction laws the joint
resolutions of Congress and such acts of Con
lr,ss n define the duties of the General-In-
Chief ard the army. But Gen. Grant will

frage. What doctrine can be more fiagrant
Federalism or more subversive of State rights
than that a President may create ten new
States without consulting the representatives
of the other twenty seven, or any portion OF

Finally, the Democratic party was anciently
the party of Universal Suffrage. Noah Web

"the extension of the elective franchise to all

to-day rests solely on the hobby of the exclu-
sion of a whole race of native born citizens OF
America from the franchise What principle

abandoning State rights and popular sover-
eighty, sustains the most despotic usurpations

clings to casteg what III a party that advocates
protective tariffs in Pennsylvania and free trade
in Maine that substitutes for the will OF the
majority the threat Of revolutionf Every

TO the Editor of The Tribune
SIR: should like you TO tell me how the Secre
tary Of the Treasury resume he does not bs,
row or save COIN Yen in favor OF Resumption hus
opposed to the ways of dong it, IL understand you Ihe
had saved his coin, he would have resumed before this
time, suppose. and bonds would be aellnp st
par for gold in Europe and above par here just As they
now are. The reason pro6ably Why Mr Van Dyck docs
to spare just at that time. Respeetuiy yours, d.
AnSWer.-1. Resumption is to be effected by
paying or funding the past-due or current OBJ
legations of the Government. Money used in
paying off debts does more to promote Re-
sumption than if boarded to be paid out at
future day. If you owe, and want to he dis.
embarrassed, pay; if you can't pay all you
owe, pay all you can.
g. Were the Governments credit such that
capitalists were eager to exchange their gold
for its bonds at par, it might resume to-mor-
row, though it had not Ten Millions in the
Treasury. We have far more Gold than we
need to resume on; it is our National Credit
that is deficient. If you want to resume. i'm
prove the National Credit. And Fifty Millions
in Gold wisely employed in buying up current
obligations would do much to improve the Ma
tional Credit. If you owe largely and can pay
off quarter of your debts, the pressure or
you for payment will be sensibly reduced
3. Mr.. Van Dyck has had over Sixty Millions
of Gold In his b-Treasury for over two years
Had lie used this amount. early in 1866, to buy up
interest bearing obligations Of the Government
he would have saved Ten Millions of subse-
quent interest and enhanced the value of every
Treasury obligation. We think he should have
been instructed by the Secretary to do this.

THE BALLor SWNDLE IN BROOKLYN

THE BALLOT SWINDLE IN BROOKLYN
The Journal of Commerce shows singular facil-
ity in overlooking the true point in its defense
of the recent outrage on the purity of the bal
lot committed by the Brooklyn Mayor and
Board of Supervisors. Ii seems To suppose that
the appointment of Inspectors and Canvassers
of Election il an affair of party patronage al
together 1t argues that because Republicans
have in the distribution of official patronage
preferred members OF their own party, there
fore the Brooklyn Mayor and Supervisors only
initiated the Republican example. The Ounce
who writes this twaddle deserves Il shower
bath. The function of Inspectors and Canvass
crs of Election is to prevent frauds by either
party They will not perform this function
unless both parties are represented equally i'll
the Board, or rs nearly as may be. Our State
laws provide mode by which in the rural
districts both parties are represented with GER
tainty, unless the minority party has less than
one third of the votes OF the district. by this
mode each voteri votes for only two of the
three Inspectors of Election. The majority
party would thus elect two and the
minority party the third But where the
majority party had more than two-thirds
of the votes, eit could by nominating two
tickets defeat this end and elect all the In
spectoIs of its own faith. As this had been
the case in many election districts of New York
and Brooklyn, the Legislature placed the power
to appoint these officers in the Board of Super
visors, in order to avoid the very evil which
the Brooklyn Mayor and Supervisors have just
inflicted upon the people. 1t is difficult by law
to secure division of these offices between
the two parties in districts largely of one party.
Yet men of all parties acknowledge that with
out this we can have no pure and righteous
ballot. So strong reason for dividing any
other Offices equally lbetween the two parties
has never been felt or recognized. And we
challenge tho production of any instance in
which the Republican party has appointed In
spcctors and Registers of Election all of its own
faith The act is bold, unblushing political
crime. 1t is On par with the naturalization
frauds in Philadelphia, the plan Of tine Balti-
moro Rebels to invade Pennsylvania TO vote
in October, and the efforts of the Ku-KluX to
suppress the c0lored vote in the Southern States
The Democratic party is doing all it can to
bring the ballot into contempt and in this as
in all its acts il is the natural foo az h"nsst
