Buckley 1t must be at least three
days since he has been heard from,
and we are almost forced to believe that
he has followed Mr.. Stewards friend
Mr.. Crackum, into obscurity. Very
likely he may be engaged upon one of
those elaborate legal opinions that have
shed lustre on the present admins
tration, and are second only to the vol
liable speeches of the Senator from
Kentucky or, possibly, he may be
stealthily collecting evidence to confirm
his own belief, that some of District
Attorney Courtney's arguments have
been conveyed to his mind :" from the
shoulder" however, though lost to
sight, he remains " to memory dear, y
and we hope that any treatise he may
prepare on Finances or Pugilism will
not be withered from the world by his
characteristic modesty.

Bismarck the energetic Minister of
Prussia, is accused by the French pa
pers of having fomented the revolution
in Spain. The funds at the disposal of
the insurgent generals, it is stated, were
advanced by Prussia, who raised the
means in London and Cadiz, from the
securities transferred about year ago,
by Italy, in payment for needle-guns.
The proceeds of this latter transaction
in the money market enabled Marshal
Serrano to settle the claims of the
troops, whose pay had long been in ar
rear, and thus to enlist the sympathy
of the Spanish army in the Instruction.
King William, of Prussia, is gaining the
reputation of a crafty disturber of the
nations of Europe, while he is carrying
out his plans for the enlargement of his
own domains.

-----------
NATURALIZATION. We are afraid that
that the County Committee and our
different ward clubs are not awake to the
Importance of attending to the business
of naturalization before the courts, and
of seeing that every foreign born citi-
zen who is entitled to vote at the ensu-
ing election, obtains the papers which
are necessary for this purpose. o this
end the County Committee should see
to it, that competent persons are in at
tendance at the County Court where
the last papers are issued, to see that
the parties applying for them are bona
fide residents of the county, and where
they have any suspicion to the contrary
make subsequent inquiries, and head
them off from the polls. Still we place
no special dependence ON this plan Of
action, as it is almost impossible to
detect frauds Of this sort. A far
better way is to counteract the votes
manufactured in the Democratic inter
est by taking care that every person
who is willing to vote the Republican
ticket obtains his naturalization papers,
aud when poor is supplied with the
means to do so. This can bedone only
by the cIabs in the different wards and
townships Let each club appoint a
special committee toattend to this work
in its ward or township, and to make a
thorough canvass of the district report
ing the names OF all foreign born -citi-
zens favorable to our candidates who
need to be naturalized. The work can
soon be accomplished and on the eff
cheney with which its done viii entirely
depend our ability TO get out our full
vote on the day of election. The fol-
lowing suggestions viii be found useful
by the committees charged with this
necessary work
Every person of foreign birth must
at least five years within
the country before he can be natural
lied. The fact of his residence for
such period must be established by
witness, The party must at the time,
of course, be of the age of q years or
This act of naturalization
must be done by all persons, except in
the instance where the party came to
the country while yet a minor, and his
father has been naturalized. As this
latter fact is not always easily suscepti-
BILE of proof, the surest method is toI
have each person become naturalized of
himself Before person can be natu-
rallied, he must have, at least two years
prior to it, " declared his intention" to
become such citizen. This act of
declaration is not necessary where the
party came to this country under eigh-
teen years of age A late act of Con-
gress has modified these provisions in
the case of those who served at least
one year in the army, and been honor
ably discharged. Such can be natural
lied on presenting to the Court their
papers showing an honorable discharge
from the army, in place of the usual
declaration of intention.
