dispatch says: The Naturalization
bill, which the House Judiciary Com
mittee has nearly ready to report, re-
quires four years residence as an al
len before making application for ma
turalization, six months in the State,
and thirty days in the district from
which it is made. When objections
is made to an alien becoming citi-
zen, provision is made for taking testi-
mony in United States court. Pro-
ceedings for naturalization are to be
before the United States courts, in
stead of State courts, as at present
but in any county wherein there is
not holden annually more than two
stated terms OF one or both these
courts, such proceedings may be had
in the conrt of highest Jurisdiction
in each State and Territory which
holds stated sessions for the trial of
civil causes in such county. This
will take the power to naturalize
from the State courts in the princi-
pal cities, especially Boston, New
York, Chicago, and st. Louis.

B@-We gave, last week, the
substance of a judicial decision to
the effect that divorce obtained on
the strength of a residence taken up
in a State for the special purpose of
obtaining q divorce, must be set
aside es null and void. We now
have q snore important decision, that
virtually sets the other aside. The
Supreme Court of the United States,
the highest possible authority, has
Just rendered decision setting forth
the dot3rine that a divorce valid by
the laws ofthe State in which it was
granted must be held valid in every
other State. In other words there
can be 40 going back of the records
OF the Court granting the decree, to
inquire into the means by which it
was Obtained. This puts at rest one
vexed question.

made a part of his duty to collect
statistics Of products Of mines and
specimens of minerals, fossils and
rocks of scientific interest and value.
1t is fact well known to miners
ia almost every mining locality that
the productive deposits of lead and
zine extend downwards into the wa
ter, beyond their reach without the
aid of capital. Upon this subject
Prot. Hall states that 1--WE fully be-
leve that the time will come when
those interested in the mining region,
will see the propriety of making a
thorough typographical survey of
the district, and having a series Of
levels run SO that the amount of de-
nundatlon, and the exact locality,
will be accurately known as the for
nation of the supface will admit. -
Vol. !, page 40. On page 4l9, vol.
l, he says, "the lead mines of Wis
consin must be economically organ
lied and managed, and must be direc-
ted by some person having local ex-
perence aud thorough knowledge of
the ground"
In view of the facts and conclusions
above set forth, and the further facts
that the demand for these products
is yearly increasing, and that the
product of the mines in Europe is de-
clining, your committee believe that
the best interests of the State require
such legislation as may be necessary
to foster and develop the mining in
terests Of Wisconsin, and to promote
these objects, herewith respectfully
submit the accompanying bill.
The bill submitted provides for a
survey of the lead districts, making
maps, and collecting statistics and
specimens from the same.

strongly indicates that its safety will

that the people are profoundly res

accident that has placed a journalist

1t is PROPOSED by our present Leg

REDUCTION OF TAxATIoN.-The
Washington dispatches of the Boston
Advertiser of Thursday morning con-
tain the following statement:
The readiness of the President to
show change of opinion on public
questions when satisfied that he is
wrong IS shown by what he now says
about the reduction of taxation. In
his message last December he took
ground against the project for Re-
ductjon, and held that we would do
better to continue our present policy
for another year. He has lately spo-
ken on the subject in private CONVEX
sation, and says further study and
observation have convinced him that
the country needs and expects some
reductions. This declaration leads
to the conclusion that he will assent
to any measure of a reasonable char
acter that is passed by Congress"

Successful Mormon Proselytism in the
Eastern States.


While Congress is legisIating for
the eradication of polygamy in far-of'
Utah, 1t would perhaps be well for
our law makers to turn their atten-
ton to the alarming strides the pc
cullar doctrine is making even on
Long Island. In the neighborhood
OF Hampstead, Baldwinsville, and
other places, the people of Mormon
Procllvltles are becoming aware that
danger is at hand. some having it
that the prophets in the "vaIley of
the mountains" have had a.revelation
from the Most High, warning them
OF coming trouble by fire and sword,
and consequently a grand rally
around the banners of the Latter day
Saints is anticipated. An elder of
the flock in Williamsburg asserts
that the Mormons located on Long
Island are wealthy, and willing to
cooperate in the work, Twenty of
them have already rented meeting
house in Baldwinsville, where they
hold forth three times day. At
Patcnoguge Is located the nucleus of
another branch; at Rockville another;
and Freeport is at present the seat
OF grand effort to establish still
another. In Connecticut also, are a
number Of missionaries, who became
Mormons some years ago, went out
to Utah, and on the call for laborers
in the Eastern States, were chosen
to come among their friends and
preach to them. Boston, and many
of the principal towns in Massachu-
sets, Maine, New Jersey and Penn
sylvania, have been set apart as dis
trio Is, which are now being worked.
1t is affirmed by the New York Times
that all these reports are verified by
the leading Mormon church dignita-
ries now in the vicinity of that city.
