LONDON, July 29.-The Times says
the passage Of the American Citizen
act will surprise no one. 1t was to
be expected that the majority of the
United States Congress. would make
through such measure as this q
direct bid for the Irish vote in the
coming election. There is nothing in
the general principle of the bill for
England to deny or oppose. Irish
men who have taken cut. their nat
uralfzaticn papers In the United
States may. properly use American
passports while travelling, in Europe,
or serve In the armies of the United
States, even against GreatBritain. $50
long as their new citizenship is
b0ad tide qualification, made In ac
cordnnce with the American naturaH-
zation laws, nothing can be said. The
real purpose of the Fenian is pro-
tected By the new citizenship thus
conferred on him - to make war
upon the Queen of England in her
realm but here they must be treated
as subjects guilty of treason. Aliens
and natives are on the same footing
in such a case. The denial of 4 jury
mediate Eagua In the trial Of the Jac
neal Packet prisoners was right, be-
cause the trial of such q case as that
depended on internal, not interna-
national flaws. The evidence obtain
ed in the United States against these
prisoners, to. prove that they were
members of the Fenian brotherhood,
was merely collateral. The real crime
charged against these men was COM
mitted on British territory. sf@ -
The Times, even, accepts the rule
that a naturalized citizen of the.
States may come to England with i'm
punity, after plotting against the
Queen in America, If he comes peace
The Molq.i,,9 Pos, says that by the
adoption of this bill, Congress antic-
| ipates,r and consequently delays, the
settlement Of the question of the
rights of naturalized citizens between
the United States aud Europeau
powers. The latter may justly resent
such action. even while making al
| lowance for the exigeneies of the ap-
preaching Presidential election.
