Naturalization.

We preseut to our resders correct
synopsis of the amended naturalization
law recently passed by Congress. 1t has
been apparent to the most careless OBJ
server that great frauds have been yearly
perpetrated through illegal naturalization.
To stem this current Of iniqui,y this law
has been enacted. The act has received
the Presidents approval. 1t is stringent,
and it is the duty of every citizen to see
that it is faithfully executed. We are
all interested in the preservation of the
purity of the ballot box. In that lies
the safety of the Republic.
The Let section relates to the disgrace
ful but frequent practice of trickery and
perjury employed in the use of natural
iza,ion papers. and provides for the pun
i'hment of such offences, on proper con-
viction. by imprisonment a. hard labor
for period not less than one year nor
more than five years. or be fined in sum
not less than three hundred dollars nor
more than one thousand dollars, Oh both
such punishments may be imposed at the
discretion of the court.
The 2nd section declares against a
person appearing as false witness in
a naturalization proceeding, or employing
any other fraudulent means in the pro-
curing of naturalization papers, inten.
tionally- Upon conviction of such felony
the guilty persons shall have the penalty
declared in section first imposed upon
them.
The 3rd section declares against the
use Of naturalization papers that were
procured through fraud or by false evil
dence, and against the use of papers
issued by the clerk, or any other officers
of the court. without an appearance and
hearing of the applicant in court, and
any person who shall falsely represent
himself to be a citizen of the United
States without having been duly admit.
ted to citizenship, shall be deemed guilty
of misdemeanor, and upon conviction
in due course Of law shall pay a fine not
exceeding one thousand dollars, or be
imprisoned not exceeding two years
either or both at the discretion of the
court.
The 4th section declares that the act
shall he applicable before any court in
which any proceedings for naturalization
shall be had, and that the United States
Court shall have Jurisdiction of all Of
fences under the provisions of this act,
in or before whatever court or tribunal
the same shall have been committed.
The 5th, 9th and 7th sections we pub.
lish entire, as follows:
SEC. 5. And be ii further enacted,
That in any city having upward of twen-
ty thousand inhabitants it shall be the
duty of the judge of the Circuit or Dis
trict Court Of the United States for the
circuit or district wherein said city shall
be, upon the application of two citizens
to appoint in writing for each election
district or voting precinct in said city,
and to change or renew said appoint
ments as occasion may require, from time
to time, two citizens resident of the dis
trict or precinct, one from each political

The DIrFERENcE-The point of DIFF

at the Court of St. James, and the Ad.
is said to be this: Mr.. Mot
ley, on the Alabama question, claimed
damages on the basis that England had
no right to recognize the Confederacy as
a belligerent power; whilst the Admin
istration claimed damages on the basis
that England failed to act in good faith
toward nation with whom she was at
peace. Motley has been recalled. The
President nominated Hon. Fred. T. Ere
for the honorable poet. The
Senate confirmed the nomination by a

INFALLlBILITy.-The Pope has been
successful in getting the Ecumenical
Council to adopt the dogma of infalli-
bility. The vote stands $50 in favor SO
against. The pope and the dogma of
lnfallibility are seriously clouded by
the war now raging in Europe. The
minds of the people are on the war
question instead of the religious ques.
ton. There is probability, too, that
France. in consequence of her troubles
with Prussia, will withdraw her troops
from Rome. They are needed on the
Rhine. "When the French bayonets
leave Rome, it is likely that the Reds,
with Garibaldi and Mazzini will 20 in,
and when they go in, the Ecumenical
Council will go out"

The Income tax some time ago was
repealed, and again reinstated. We did
not notice the latter action, not knowing
how long it would remain in that shape.
Now, that Congress has adjourned, we
state that the income exemptions have
been raised to two thousand dollars, and
the tax reduced from 5 to % per cent.
