Banks:
SECTION l. Be 1t enacted, de-, That al
naturalized citizens Of the United States
while in foreign States, shall be entitled to-
snd shall receive from this Government
the same protection of persons and pro
perty that is accorded to native-horn citi
2ens in like situation and circumstances
and the President is empowered to use the
influence and authority of this Govern.
ment in all just endeavors to secure the
recognition by other Governments OF the
principles Of public law which have been
insisted upon and maintained by the Go.
verDment Of the United States in regard
to the rights Of naturalized citizens: Pro-
uided, al,oays, That no citizen, naturalized
OF native-born, who is guilty Of crime
against the laws of any foreign State, com.
mitted within its jurisdiction, or of deser-
ton from actual service in the army OF
navy of such State, or who shall have &C
CURED naturalization by misrepresentation
or fraud, or who, as to residence or other
wise, by treason or other crime against
the United States, shall have forfeited or

naturalized citizen, shall be entitled to the
protection contemplated by this act.
SECTION 2. And be 1t further enacted,
That whenever it shall be duly made

lied citizen of the United States has been

ton that naturalization in the rebel States

State, and whose release shall have been
unreasonably delayed or refused, the Pre-
sident shall be and hereby is empowered,

Not One Ansclitgent Kep,sbiican lin a
Dozen Endorses the Present Course
or Congress.
From the Cincinnati Commercial tRaaiesD.
Vast as the power vested In Congress
Is, it may pass away between the rising
and the setting Of the sun from the party
that Yields sit. a breath can unnaake il
as breath has made 1t, and there is no
powerin Congress to fix upon the country
the policy OF any party caucus. Congress
is giving too much attention to the South
The battle-ground Of the next Presidential
campaign is in the North, and Congress is
abandoning 1t for an nntenable position in
the South. ~
The Democracy have already the eeor.
nous advantage OF responsibility. This
always belongs 10 the opposition, and tends
to produce changes and overthrow admin
,istrations. In addition to this, they have
the sympathy Of the President, and, it il
believed, of q majority of the Supreme
Court. Now, when it Is considered that
the 0yerbearing power that the caucus that
controls Congress has in commanding q
two-thirds vote in both branches of that
body is only retained by the exclusion OF
the representatives of the States disor-
dered by rebellion, it becomes pretty evi.
dent, we should say, that the Republicans
in Congress should take the best care OF
their strength in the northern States.
This suggestion becomes still more impress
sive when We consider that negro suffrage,
which is the cornerstone Of congressional
reconstruction, as negro slavery was the
cornerstone of the Southern, Confederacy,
was voted down in Ohio by fifty thousand
majority in October last, and that the
Democracy have carried the States
of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Con-
necticut, and New York-the latter by
fifty thousand majority. Are gentlemen
of the Republican party in Congress pur-
suing the course that will reestablish the
party in power in New York The pre-
sent congressional policy Of failing to i'm
peach Andrew johnson, and then persist
ing in fighting him aud suffering the great
interests Of the country to go without first
attention, is imbecile. The passion and
fury displayed in it is oil foolishness. Not
one intelligent Republican in dozen en-
dorses the present course of Congress.
There3 is almost universal depreciation Of
it and apprehension about it. If these
facts can be got into Congress without q
surgical operation it will be well. Great
confidence is expressed that the Demo.
cratic partisans will commit indiscretions
sufficient to balance those of Congress
We should not, however, depend upon
their indiscretion altogether. They have
not the opportunity to make capital against
themselves that the majority in Congress
has. We object to the immediate return
of the Democratic party to power. There.
fore we object to the headlong partisanism
and extreme exertions Of disputed au-
thority that are distinguishing the action
| of Congress.
