The Attorney General has decided the
question Of naturalization, submitted to..him
BY the Department Of State. Tho facts
briefly are that Mr.. A. Steinkoanber, a

rallied in st. Louis in 1854, when he re-
turned to Germany. lie took with him his
SOD, aged four years, born in the United
States. His son is now twenty years of
age. The question at issue rose as to the
son owing military service to Germany.
The Attorney General comes to the con-
cluslon that the boy has two natonalities--
one natural, the other acquired. The father
returning to Germany and resuming his
allegiance, the son palt.kes of the st ,tus
OF the father being minor, and having
the protection Of the German Government,
he for the time being, or until of age, owes
military duty, the obligations being recip-
rocal but when the boy becomes Of age he
can return to the United States as an
American citizen, with all the rights and
privileges as such, and would even be ell.
gible to the Presidency of the United States.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 80, 1875
yFr arn fulIv convinced that A fall

We are fully convinced that fall
ing of in the Republican vote Of the
country is largely attributable to the
failure OF Republicans in going to The
polls This view has been in the his
tory of the country verified by the fact
that in Presidential year, when there
is more excitement and deeper in
terest aroused, the Republican party
is largely the gamer. its majorities
range higher, and IL close counties
where the local ticket is in doubt,
most always in Presidential race the
the Republicans win. From this fact
we argue that we ought TO have a
lively canpsign--that we win by ii
always. 1t is fact that Republicans
as rule, sre much more frugal and
industrious than Democrats-they go
not to election as frolic, to stimulate
themselves with bad whiskey, they are
busy with urgent personal duties, with
business, and they often fail to attend
to their public duties. Our campaigns
have been for some time too tame.
The present opportunity is an excel.
lent one to fire anew Republican inter
est. Let the two standard bearers of
the parties meet in joint discussion,
and let the fires be lit all over the
State. Our cause was never in more
fitting condition to be forcibly and eff
fectually presented, and the enemy
was never weaker.
