New ORLEANS, October 29.-The cor
respondence between Governor Kellogg
and the Democratic Conservative Com
mittee of Naturalization, which has been
going on for several days, was brought to
close this morning by Kellogg in mis-
letter in which he says: This question
of the jurisdiction of the Second District
Court did not originate with me. l had
given the matter no special attention,
and had no other thought but to remove
the complications and difficulties, dis
position which has actuated me during
I the whole canvas. In view of all the
/ facts and circumstances, taking into con-
sideration that there is great diversity
of opinion among the leading lawyers
| upon this question, that much illteellng
has been engendered; and the further
! fact that as the names of all the persons
naturalized in the Second District Court
have been designated upon the poll lists
/ as was mutually agreed on, So that their
| identity can be easily established; and as
/ find it has been decided by the court
that in contest for office no
person can be exempted from
testifying what candidates he voted for,
l am Of the opinion that there is no ne
cessity either for separate boxes as agreed
1 in your letter of October 25th, or parti-
toned boxes as proposed in your commu-
nicatiOn Of October 9th. | am in favor
of using the same box. it being evident
! that with the precautlon taken, the only
/ object had IN view, namely: the protect
/ ing ofthe rights of all parties, can be as
efiectually obtained in this way as by
any other plan. Indeed, regard as
! more serious matter the number of
/ fraudulent naturalization papers issued
| by the Second District Court, where in
! a series of instances naturalization pa
| pers have been issued upon the testi-
! monv of the self same two witnesses, to
persons Of different nationalities residing
in remote parts of the city.
