United States. The Israelites Of old
had a uniform rule of naturalization,
but its provisions were SO stringent
that very few availed themselves Of 1t.
At present no other civilized nation ex-
cept our own has uniform rule OF
naturalization. Even in England an
alien cannot become q citizen except
by letters patent from the king. Un-
der law tens of thousands of aliens be-
come citizens every year. This fact
excites great fears in the minds Of some
persons, and the propriety of the policy
may need some explanation.
Our rule of naturalization grows out
of the initial assertion of the Declare
ton of Independence. Among tho
rights enumerated In that sentence, Is

would have great difficulty in proving.
1t confounds the superfiuous population
of q country with the refuse. When
ever it becomes SD that q man can not

The nomination of Mr.. Hale by the Leg

the contest over the Senatorship- ends
it in a way which will, we feel assured,
bring good to the State and content to its
people. AT the time of the French Resto-

who gathered about him and welcomed his
return to the national councils, by saying:
The c4ange is slight; there is only one

The other ought to be. A rivalry re-

MR.. NoRDHoFF writes to the New York

4 ACCORDING to the Republican State Com
mittee Of South Carolina, there was only
one counfyin the State where there was any
attempt at fairness at the recent election.
This was in Beaufort county, and the lead
ing Democratic paper of the county, the
Beaufort Crescent, says: '"There is one
thing to be said of the Democracy of Beau
fort county that unfortunately cannot be
said OF some others, and that is, they have
not as yet learned to make one Democratic
vote count as five and five Republican votes
as none, nor have we yet adopted the sys-
tenn by which ballots are substituted in the
boxes for those originally placed there.
Upon these little matters we are sadly de-
ficient, which will account for the small
showing we are able to make with three
hundred voters. For ourselves, we had
rather be afflicted with years of Republican
misrule, trusting to the justice of our cause
finally asserting itself, than to steal an cleo

She was alone in the world Her various
relatives had gradually passed away, and by
strange coincidence, just as the last one passed
