NATURALIZATIoN.-The New York
Sun, republican journal, cordially
confesses, in regard to naturalization
frauds, that sin this respect one party
is as had as another" and that if more
of this cheating ppae done by the demo-
cracy in New York last fall than by
the Grant men, it was simply because
the foreigners were more inclined to
go for Seymour and Blair. Had they
been for Grant and Colfax, the repub-
licans would have put them through
the mill just as fast. When we say
this we don't mean the honest republi-
cans: neither do we esuppose the honest
democrats had anything to do with
the fraudulent naturalizations that
were practiced so extensively in the
interest of their party" This is the
truth, fairly spoken. The remedy, in
the opinion of the Sun, is to prevent
the frauds by removing the occasion.
Fix shorter term for residence pre-
vious to naturalization. The general
diffusion of newspapers enables the
emigrant now to learn as much Of our
institutions and laws in one year as he
formerly could in five.

THE legislature of Missouri wanted
to be notch ahead Of all loyal States,
and passed what was thought TO be
the XVIII amendment on the receipt
of a telegraphic dispatch. The opera
tor forgot 10 send the whole of the
amendment, and the whole thing falls
to the ground. The legislature adj
journed sine die, so the whole matter
goes over till next year, when it is
thought there may be something more
to say about 1t. In the meantime let
us have peace.

SAYS one of the ''organs" of the
Snap Judgment Negro Suffrage-ites:
"God made of one blood all nations to
dwell together on Tie face of the
earth, and "All men are created free
and equal" Well, then. why don't
YOU advise Grant to recall Custer anu
Sheridan and the rest of the Indian
butchers, and let the Red Man, as
well as the Black, "dwell" with you
"on the face of the earth ?" And what
about the Chinaman, who can be sworn
to tell the truth only by bleeding a
living chicken-cock in his presence 3?
Is he of your blood, too, blatherskite?
Nay, to come back to the race upon
which you are a libel, how about young
men eighteen, nineteen and twenty
years of age? They are created free
and are equal at least to such fools as
scribble in favor of Negro Suffrage.
Why don't you burst yourself little
a bowling for the rights of these "men
and brethren? God, doubtless, made
every body, white, black, yellow, red,
of ''one blood" )" but He divided them
into races and diluted the blood of
which some of them were made by
substances that produce thick skulls and
very little brain. By proper classifi-
cation the writer in the ''organ" would
belong to the race or class just describ-
oil

ONE of the organs of the Snap
Judgment party in this county, says
we declare that sit is not right to a.
mend the Constitution" OF course
this is lie To wholesome amend
ments, if any be needed, we have no
objection. What we oppose, is, the
destruction of the Constitution. This
may be done under the guise of amend
ments, as well as by direct abrogation.
The XVIII Amendment is destructive
of the Constitution, for it tGkes from
the people q right Johieh the Constitution
reSerUed TO them, Uiz: to regulate and CON
troll the question Of suffrage for them
setUes. Suppose Congress would pro-
pose an amendment TO the COnstitu-
tion making Grant Emperor, and three
fourths of the State legislatures would
ratify it, would that be amending or
destroying the Constitution? But what
is the use casting pearls before swine"
or asking conundrums Of a jack ass?

n COMMUNITY WITHOUT LAW
We gave some account a few days since,
from a Petersburg, (Va.) paper, of a
father Mr.. A. B. Bradshaw, of Luen-
berg killing his son, a young man
twenty-five years Of age, by shooting
him, as the son left the house, on ac-
count of some dispute at the breakfast
table. 1t was added that no arrest had
been made, as, on account of the recent
removals under congressional law,
there was no officer in the country au-
thorized to make an arrest. General
Stoneman, the military commander,
was telegraphed to in regard to the
course to be pursued, or to appoint
some one TO act under the law. His
reply was as follows:
"RICHMoND, Va, March %, 1867
To p. NJ. Hatchell The people must
act as they may think the circumstan-
ces demand"
GEORGE SToNEdAN,
'Brevet Major General"
Thus it is that reconstruction has
brought the people of a portion Of the
Old Dominion clean back to the state
of nature. Now if Gen. StOneman
could only give the people of all Vir-
ginia the permission he has extended
to those of Luenburg act towards
all wrongdoers ''as they may think the
circumstances demand" there would
be about as refreshing an exhibition OF
retributive justice, untrammeled by
legal technicalities and delays, as the
world has ever seen.
What a reflection is suggested by this
order Of General Stoneman! In this
nineteenth century, in the land which
claims to be the most civilized, in the
State on which the seeds of civilization
in the western world were first plant
ed, and among most Iaw-respecting
people, the legislation of Congress has
stripped the people of the means o
Furnishing the Dnost horrible of crimes
and the amazed and confounded in
habitants, not knowing what to do, ap
peal to the military commander, wh(
can only tell them, in substance, they
must do that which is right in theil
own eyes-that which they would dc
if there never had been such a thing a;
law or human society! Happily there
is reaonn to believe the people of Nir
ginia may be trusted to do the best tina
is possible under such circumstances
but no people ought to be subjected tC
such trial.-B0lt. Sun.

BRIEF MENTION.
Another mysterious murder occurred
last week. No clue whatever yet, al
though the strictest investigation has
been instituted. The name of the mur-
dered man is Jos. w. Smith, single,
and y. Independence Hall has been
reftted and painted. The Germania is
to go on musical trip to Pittsburg.
West Philadelphia has an elegant new
market house. The spring trade is
opening up, and hotels filling. Eggs
went down-on Easter Sunday. White
lace sacques are to be the rage. Large
finger-rings are the vogue. Little bon
nets and big prices the style. Every
thing is the fashion. Hoops. are not.
