eoLD closed in New York yesterday at
THE .Journal on the Track of the
Old Hartford Convention ana
ahe Know NorhinE Lodges.


ahe Know Nothing Lodges.
The Journal wants the Naturalization
laws so amended that none but the United
States Courts be allowed to issue naturali-
cation papers. This would compel citi-
zen of Columbus, wishing to renounce his
allegiance, to travel, with his witnesses, to
Cincinnati, Cleveland, or Washington City,
to accomplish that, to him, desirable object,
and would have the effect, in great meas
ure, of preventing naturalization, which
seeems to be the great object the Journal
aims at. e #S
Falling to get this amendment, the
Journal wishes to confine the naturaliza-
tion of foreigners to the State Common
Pleas. and Supreme Courts, which could
olly be done when these Courts were in
session and had time to attend to that bus
iness, at an increased expense to the tax
payer and to the applicant.
The Naturalization laws OF the United
States have ever been fruitful source of
complaint by the party opposed to the
Democracy. During the war with Great
Britain, the reasonable Convention, which
m It at Hartford, Connecticut, on the 10th
of December, 1914, and held its sessions with
closed doors, among its published COM
plants against the Constitution of the
United States, had the following:
18th. The easy admission of naturalized
foreigners to- places of trust, honor or
profit, operating as an inducement to the
malcontent subjects of the old world to
come to these States in quest OF executive
patronage, and to repay it with an ahject
devotion to executive measures"
And, as conditien of New England
remaining in the Union, the Hartford Con-
vention demanded, among other things,
that:
9Th. No person who shall hereafter be
naturalized shall be eligible as a member
of the Senate or House of Representatives
of the United States, nor capable OF hold
ing any civil office under the authority OF
the United States. - s--..,.- 81, %
Following insthe lead OF the Hartford
Convention Federalists, came the Know
Nothing organization, and when that was
put down as signally as were the Hartford
Convention Federalists, the Journal. aping
both, undertakes to do that which both
New England Federalism and the Know
Nothing Lodges failed in doing, so>tos
alter the Naturalization laws as to make
it difficult or needless for Foreigners to
abiure their obligation to the Prince, Po-
tential, or Power, that claimed them as
subjects, and TO become American citizens.
We trust the Jo,n1sat win tail in its efforts,
because greater minds have failed before,
in the attempt to accomplish the same
thing.

.sThe Lady of the white House.,

sThe Lady of the White House,
A Boston Republican paper thus speaks
of the wife of Gen. GRANT, who, in her
character as Mistress of the White House,
we trust, will avoid the follies and escape
the slanders heaped upon Mrs. LINCOLN:
sIn connection with the election of Gen.
Grant to the Presidency, and only second
in point of interest, is the promotion of
Mrs. Grant to the post of Lady of the
White House, 1t is gratifying TO think
that the position is one which Mrs. Grant
will fill with the true simplicity of an
American woman. There will be no at
tempt to ape the grandeur of regal court
and no vulgar striving after mere sensa-
ton. Mrs. Grant is a lady who has main
tained,4 through every event which has
marked the vi-issitudes of her husbands
life, marked propriety of demeanor. She
mas been helpmeet in days of adversely.
and has shared his honors without being
dazzled by the position or contaminated by
the foolish adulations of those who wor-
ship at the shrine of success"
