New ORLEANS, Oct. 22.-The Attorney
Generals opinion of the legality Of natu-
ratization before the Second District Court,
will not be officially delivered till to-mor-
row, but he to-day expressed the conviction
that all naturalization papers issued from
that court since 1864 are null and void.

been submitted to the District Attorney,
and to all the other judges, and there is
only one idea on the subject. All the great
legal minds this State has ever produced

present Attorney General to spring the
question just before the election: The
Conservatives estimate the number of
voters involved at 1900.
