Correspondence IS IN progross between the state
department and'tho German government with
regard 10 the naturNlizcd Americans who having re-
turned to their brthplaccs in Aisace and Lorraine,
havo been compelled to render military service.
our government broadly claims all the rights for
naturulzed citizens born IN those provinces which
accrue under the treaty to those who come from
other and older parts of the German empire No
correct Judgment can be formed ut this time with
regard to the result, but 1t may lie said that the
German government has generally manifested u
desire TO act fairly and even literally In executing
the naturalization treaty. Tho records In the sew.
cra legations disclose the fact that the greater part
of the business of American dlplomatiss IN Ger
many consists IN efforts which Rro usually success

cans Of German birth from duties imposed upon
Germans who have remained at home, This inn

The republican national committee presents TO
the country resume Of the sweeping victory won
by our party on Tuesday, November 2. which haS
been so cheerrully accepted by all thoughtful and

to believe that Mt least one aud perhaps two OF
these states have given their electoral vote to our
The popular majority FOR Garfield and Arthur
will not fall short Of 52Oo)0 In the northern states.
The majority OF General Hancock In the northern
states win hardly reach 800.
If the republicans OF the south had been per
mitted TO vote as they wished to, aud have their
votes counted as they were cnst, ut least six Of
these states would have recorded maJoritlcs rang
ing from 5000 to 10000 for our ticket.
The malorlticS therefore claimed by our adYer-
sarics In most of the southern states we regard un-
worthy of consideration.
We havo carried the legislature OF every north.

Garfield and Arthur have been elected by un-

the country where the right Of every citizen Is rec

Pistols and whisky may be of use IN exceptional
cases, but proane swearing Is utterly without any
value. IL VIII not cure q man OF sickness and II

ceder seem to have forgotten all their professions
