LONDON, July %. The main points
Of the Act for the protection of
American citizens abroad, which was
passed Just before the adjournment
OF the Congress Of the United States,
were telegraphed to London, and are
published in the morning journals.
The bill is sharply and unfavorably
criticised by the English press,
though Its passage does not appear
to excite either surprise or anger.
The journals Of all shades of opinion
affect to consider the bill a partizan
measure, required by the exigencies
OF the November elections, but think
this action of Congress will not tend
to promote the success of American
negotiations with foreign powers to
secure by treaty the establishment of
the principles of nationality on which
the bill is based.
The London Times says: ..The
passage of the American citizen Act
Will surprise no one. It was to be
expected that the majority of the
United States Congress would make,
through such measure rs this, a
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.
Irishmen who have taken out their
naturalization papers in the United
states, may properly use passports
while travelling in Europe, or serve
In the armies of the United States.
even against Great Britain. So long
as their citizenship is bona .1ide
quailflcatlon, made in accordance
with the naturalization laws of the
country, nothing can be said. The
real purpose of the Fenian is pro-
tected by the new citizenship thus
conferred upon him to make war
upon the Queen of England in her
own realms; 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 Jury mediuiate lin
qua IN the trial of the Jaomel Packet
prisoners was right, because the trial
of such, o case as that depended on
internal, not international laws. The
evidence obtained in the United
States against these prisoners, prov
ing that they were members OF the
Fenian Brotherhood, was merely col
lateral. The crime charged against
these men was committed, on British
territory. 'n,' II 39:H
The Times even accepts the rule
that O naturalized citizen of the
United States may come to England
with iinpunity, after plotting against
the Queen in America, if he comes
peaceably. ts
The Morning Post says the adop-
ton of this bill by Congress antici-
pates, and consequently delays, the
settlement of the rights of natural
ICED citizens between the United
States and European nations. The
latter may justly resent such action,
even while allowing for the exigen
cies OF the approaching Presidential
election. .e-,5n
