A KENTUCKY Republican sends to
the Cincinnati Commercial the utterance
of his indignation at the conduct of Gen
Grant in appointing men to Office in
Kentucky who are not Republicans, and
who will not do anything for the benefit
of the party. "There is not" he says,
''far distant day of recompense. Gen.
Grant, no doubt, will seek renomina-
ton at the hands of the Republican
party; and although Kentucky does not
count much in the election, her vote will
tell something in the Convention. No
doubt this is so; and it is true of many
other States besides Kentucky.

reviving their procriptive Know Kothing
policy in this State, in the hope of ope-

to require naturalized citizens to produce
their papers, for the purpose of examina-
ton and record. In1S56 naturalization
papers had to be exhibited thirty days be.
fore an election, by modified statute
enacted for that purpose. But in 1862
when our Irish fellow citizens were need
ed in the army, to supply the places Of
recreant natives, that law was repealed
to please and deceive them, and has re-
mained so ever since. This effort to re-
vive an exploded practice is only con-
ceived in animosity to adopted citizens
and will react to the confusion of Its
bigotted authors.-Me Patriot.
