The Boyd-Thayer Case.

WASHINGTON, Dec THE Boyd-Thayer
case, involving the question to the title to the
officer of governor Of Nebraska, and citizen
ship on the part of Boyd, will come up for argu-
ment in the United States supreme court to-
morrow.
Briefs OF council have been filed, j. w Gown,
Boyd's attorney in his brief maintaina his client
became citizen by virtue OF the admission Of
Nebraska as state he being an inhibitand of
the territory OF Nebraska and member its
constitutional convention Henry D. Estabrook.
also; attorney for Boyd, argued Boyd become
citizen through relation back to the time OF
his declaration of intention TO the granting in
1890 of final naturalization papers, besides his
frther and that the complete transaction takes
eject on the day drawn in ls4J Standardization.
he held was in the nature OF a contract in which
the granting OF final papers constituted an as
sistance on the part of the government he
also argued the CONSUMPTION act OF 1864.
making all persons who declared this intention
of become citizens of the United States amend
able to military duty had the effect of comforting
citizenship upon Boyd and his father. The
confession OF the entire honesty of Boyd in the
belief that he was a citizen; his
reiterated oaths of allegiance to the
United States and the constitution, and his pat
riotic conduct through life are noted as circum-
stances justifylng the court in invoking the
doctrine of relation.
The brief on behalf of Thayer is prepared by
John Z. Dillon, John l.. Webster and Joseph ri
Blair. Broadly stated, they base their asser,
ton of want Of citizenship in Boyd on the
ground that an alien cannot grow into citizen
ship by belief or faith and by assuming to act
as citizen. They cite the case of Dreydeu
and Swinburn, OF West Virginia, in which the
court held that proof Of naturalization was
necessary, and the doctrine of relation could
not apply. Collective naturalization, they
maintain. can apply only where Congress makes
express provision therefor, as 1t did when Flor
ida and Louisiana were ceded to the United
States

The House Meets and Adiourns.

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE heavy rain storm
which visited the city this morning had little
effect in dampening the ardor Of persons de-
sirous of witnessing the opening of the Fifty
second Congress, At an early hour a great crowd
surged Thorough the corridors of the capitol
In the House, the galleries were crowded. and
every available seat on the long benches was
occupied. AS the Republicans entered the hall
OF the House, they were greeted by their Demo-
cratic colleagues and congratulations and con-
dolences exchanged. The chamber presented a
bright appearance, notwithstanding the gloom
mess of the day. Many desks were ornamented
with floral designs Of more or less beauty, al
though they were not as numerous as in former
years and the speakers desk was conspicuous
by the absence of adornment. At noon, Clerk
Mcpherson called the House to order. The
clerk Immediately proceeded to call the roll.
AS Reed responded to his name, his Republican
friends gave him round of applause. The
clerk announced the presence Of 326 members.
The House Immediately, on motion OF Holman,
of Indiana, adjourned to meet at noon to-mor-
row
