NATURALIZATION.

YESTERDAY Senator Conkling reported q bill
from the Senate Judiciary Committee to
regulate naturalization, which appears to be
well adapted for the prevention of frauds and
for the protection of legal voters The bill
places the power of granting naturalization
papers entirely in the hands of the Circuit
and District Courts and Registers of Bank
ruptcy of the United States, anditprovides that
no one shall be admitted to citizenship who
does not swear to having resided four years
and six months in the United States and one
year within the State or Territory where such
application is made, and the statement must
be supported by the testimony of at least one
citizen, and any person may produce adverse
evidence and contest the application in open
court. The declaration of intention to be-
come a citizen must be filed at least q year
and six months before the formal application
for naturalization. The naturalization blanks
are to be issued by the Secretary of State to
the courts, and they are to be so prepared as
to guard as much rs possible against frauds
and counterfeits. Another important provi-
sion of the bill is that no certificates Of
naturalization issued since July 4, 1868, in any
city whose population exceeds one hun dred
thousand, shall be received as evidence of
naturalization until it shall have been en-
dorsed approved" by the United States
Court or Commissioner, with the proper
stamp and signature. 1t is also made the
duty of the United States Circuit or District
Judge to appoint for each elective precinct in
q city of over one hundred thousand inhabi-
tants, two citizens-one from each political
party-to attend at places fixed for the regis
tsation of voters, who, being registered, would
be entitled to vote for Representatives in
Congress, and also to attend at the voting
places for the purpose of challenging any
votes they may suspect to be fraudulent, and
also to assist in the counting of the votes. If
this bill is passed, it will do away altogether
VITA our present loose way of managing
the naturalization of citizens, and will MOI
only place the whole business in the hands of
the United States courts, where it properly
belongs, bat will reduce it to system and
secure honest voters to a great extent at least
against frauds. 1t is sincerely to be hoped
that the bill will receive the early and candid
consideration Of Congress, and that it sr
some other measure having the same object
will pass before the adjournment.

ROMAN REMANs.-The excavations that are being
made at Bath, England for the construction OF the
new Pump Room Hotel have brought to light some
very interesting Roman remains. The most valuable
results are the determination of the south and west
limits OF the great temple, and the discovery OF some
ornamental stone work so similar in details to that
which appears upon the temple OF Jupiter Stator at
Rome as to suggest the probable date OF the Bath
Temple. The plan OF the forum and the course OF
its surrounding ways may now be traced with suff
cent accuracy to enable the antquary to construct
a tolerably perfect plan OF Aque Soils at the time
when 1t was the grand waterlng-place OF Roman
Britain. great many fragments OF nat sheets OF
Roman glass have been found, which bear all the
YSRearance OF having been rolled or cast 1t seems
impossible to doubt, with this evidence before us,
that the Romans employed glass for the purpose OF
lighting their houses as well as in the construction
OF drinking vessels The Roman glass has peculiar
blue tint and is semi-opaque.
