Etset dow and then the curUtn of polittoal mystery ta lifted, and the honest, simple hearted pnblto obtain a glance of. ho w things are done behind the soenea. We hear a great deal abont fraudulent naturalization about the ease with which the foreigners recently arrived on onr shores are enabled to obtain a rote. But as to how this result ia aooora plished, we, in common with thousands of oar oitixens, are almost entirely ignorant. When the law is read, and the numerous precautious whiokare thrown around the prooesa of natu ralization are considered, we can but wonder at the means resorted to to defraud the people. On Saturday the publio were allowed a glanoe t behind, and the manner in whioh the Da- ! mooraoy manage things was made clear. A i more Tile and systematic arrangement for de- j frauding the oitizena of Philadelphia would In ; difficult to conceive. TLe Supreme Court, through its Prothono tary, Mr. J. Ro33 Snowden, has the power of granting naturalization papers to foreigners. Before this oan be done the applioant must be sworn, and a voter produced who will vouou under oath for the truth of the applicant's statements. When this ia done the papers are signed by the Frothonotary, and given to the . new oltizen. Of course, the power whioh Mr. Snowden possesses is a great one, the duty la clearly marked, and in its exercise the utmost vigilanoe and strictest adherenoe to rule are required, as both a moral and legal obligation. Now we do not hesitate to say, after the revelations of Saturday,, that the manner in which the Important prooess of natu ralization is conducted is net only careless In the extreme, but criminally wrong. Let us state how the case stands. By an accident i there la such a thing as an acoident it cam to the cars of certain Ee. publioan gentlemen that a German named Leckfeldt and a number of other low characters had beep swearing as vouchers for foreigners about whom they know nothing. These sooundrels were arrested. A list of four teen names was found on one of them, seven of whom had had papers made out. The evidenoe showed that a wholesale system of fraudulent papers had been inaugurated. Let ub look at it. One witness, named Iluninger, swore: "I was In the Rebel army from 1883 to lHflu Hcbniiuet askeil me how long I had been In the country, and I told him; lie asked me if I bad my citizan paper; I said no. aud be said I could get It without much cost; we went to Nos. 493 and 4'J7 N. Third street, to a Democratic commit tee; lie put his name to a paper and paid lea cents. And got a ticket; we t ben came to the Court; Schnitzel also h wore for George Meloloh; he said taking an oath was nothing; at Leca feldt'a be Raid: "I can swear fifty times for a gltiss of beer." Asother, named Mollook, swore: "I am forly-two years old; have been at Leosr feldl's for fourteen daps; I came there from New York; a man namod Snyder twore that I resid-.d i.ere one year immediately before I made tbt applloxtloD; I never saw him beore, nor have I seen him since." This is evidence of how the perjury was done. Is it not natural to ask if a proper per formance of duty on the part of the Democrat who ia Frothonotary, and the Democrats who are clerks in his office, could not have put some fort of check on this sort of fraud f Do we find them, when the crime is deteoted, doing what they oan to secure its punishment f Let their evidenoe speak. "Colonel J. R6ss Snowden was examined, but he did not recognize any of tbe men. Hi duly waa to attach Ms name to the papers when brought to him by the tipstaves of the Court, and he ad-nit-ted that hie name might possibly be attached to some of them without their having been sworn to. Ha also elated that the tipstaves were naturali sing persons while be was then In ibH Alder man's office, but qualified tbe statement by saying there whs a Judge on tbe benob. "Thomas B. Worrell sworn I am crier of the Hnpreme Court; I or Mr. Hobell swear the peti tioners and vouohers, but do not markthi papers so that we can recognize them; I have administered in the iast ten d'xys from two to four thousand oaths." Under the oiroumstanoes of the case, we would like to know what protection there ia afforded against fraudulent naturalization to the moBt unlimited extent! Mr. Snowden confesses that he delegates the high authority vested in him to the irresponsible office of crier and tlpsttve, and that it is not impossi ble that his signature might be affixed to papers without any oath having been ad ministered at all. This oondltion of affairs ia frightful. It is a premium on fraud. It ia open ing wide the door for perjury and crime. It is neoessary for the safety of the people of this Commonwealth that this mode of procedure be stopped, and, if it is no', that the officials who thus negleot their duty be punished by removal from office. Mr. Snowden is aotlng with a negligence which ia criminal, and we are astonished beyond measure that a gentle man of his standing should so far forget what is due to his oath ef office. We hope that immediate and summary measures will bi taken to stop this course of wholesale oaths, of attesting affidavits by the pound of paper, .without the officer knowing what he is sign ing. It is a disgrace to those engaged in it, and a crime against the honest and qualified voters of Philadelphia. Thb Gbbmanb have a phraBe, "Krleg in Krieg," or War in Vur, but the Demooratlo party may well boast oi the Ingenuity it haa shown in variations upon th.g&m, theme. It can freely claim the inventio 0f the two mottoes Peaoe in War and War Ui paaa. The selection of candidates seems to havheen made to suit, for its proposed President h shown himself the advooate of "Peaoe In War,'1 aud the proposed Vii'e-l'resldent ha bean aealously preaching "War in Peaoe." "Dora In nine. Thb Democratic party Is powerless without a portion of the soldiers' vote. This faot ia so patent to all their leaders that from the first they have not gainiald it. But they are laboring under a difficulty in this connection whioh wonld intimidate any man who had not epponsed a cause utterly desperate. The platform adopted at the Tammany Convention on the 7th of Jnty last ignored the fruits Of the war. It was, to all intents and purposes, a mere reiteration of the Chlaago platform o' 18G4, in which the war was emphatically pro nounced a failure. On that platform, and with George B. MoClellan for a candidate, tnt Demooracy appealed to the people and to the army. Decided as was the rebuke then ad ministered to them by the people at large, the almost unanimous repudiation whioh they received at the hands of the loyal soldier,, demonstrated the faithfulness of the army, and the ntter futility of plaoing upon it any reliance for support thereafter on a platform of this oharaoter. Being unable to meet the Chioago platform of 1SG8 by any half-way issue; comprehending fully the faot that, if two candidates avowing essentially the same prin. ciples should go before the people, the one who beoame the Btaudard-bearer of the party which preserved the Union would be oertilu of seouring the support of the loyal North in preference to the one allied to the party of obstruction; it appeared neoessary and expe dient to the Demooratlo leaders that they should join issue with the Republican plat form in a square and open way. Henoe they come before the people in the present oonteit on a platform whioh ignores the fruits of the war for the Union; whioh praotioally deolares it to have been a failure; whioh pronounoes the Congressional policy of reconstruction "unconstitutional, revolutionary, and void;" and which repudiates the just and lawfully inourred obligation of the Government. This platform was diotated by the unrepentant Rebels, headed by Wade Hampton, who held seats in the Convention; it was framed with the express view of receiving the support o f the Confederate soldiers; it could anticipate no countenanoe whatever from the army of the Union, save from such members of it aa were willing to repudiate their record and to march arm-in-arm wiih the men whose handa are still reeking with the blood of their oom. rades, in a new crusade against the integrity of the nation and the cause of liberty, justice, and truth. Placed on this platform, the Ddtnooratlo journals and orators have systematically, from the opening of the oampaign, heaped upon the General of the Army and his followers the most unstinted and slanderous abuse. The men who fought and bled in behalf of the loyal cause have been denounced in the most unmeasured terms. They have been taunted with their devotion to justioe, liberty, and equality; they have been pursued with all th9 resources of opprobrium at the command of their deiraotors; tbey have been arraigned for the orime of high treason against the nation, because they would not forget and forego the past, and join hand-in-haud with their late antagonists upon the field of battle, in the attempt of the latter to regain possession and control of the Government whioh they essayed in vain to destroy. In this bitter crusade it has been reserved for the Democracy of Pennsylvania to take the lead, and in downright vindiotiveness and malioiousness to distanoe all competitors. In proof of this we have only to reproduoe the following despicable dooument, whioh, in accordance with the request at the end, is being given ourrenoy by the Demooratlo jour nals of the State and country: "Caution to tbe Democrats of this and adjoin ing Blatei: A so-called Boldlers' Convention Is to be beld in this oily, under tbe ausploes of the radical party, on tbe 1st and 2d of October. Tbe additional assessment oi voters is to be made on tbe same days. From information in our possession, It Is believed that the conven tion was appointed for that time with a view to bring here persons from otber places, faloely pretending to be soldiers, and to assess and vote them In this city. i "Our irlends In this and otber States are earn estly requested to furnish us, at tbe earliest possible moment, the name and description of every man leaving their respective localities to attend the convention, in order that be may be Identified should it be attempted to register or vote him. Tbe fraud contemplated may thus be prevented, and those wbo attempt to perpe trate It brought to puntsbment. " William a. Wallace, "Chairman State Central Committee of Penna. "Samuel J. Randall, "Chairman Joint Committee of Organization for city of Philadelphia. "Demooratlo papers please copy." The State Central Committee of the Soldiers and Sailors of Pennsylvania have promptly met this wretched appeal to passion and hate by the publication of an address, which will be fonnd on another page of this paper. The issue has been squarely met and fairly refuted, and every intelligent voter should read and reflect upon the response. But this scathing rebuke will not be the only one which Mr Wallace's vile slander will encounter. Phila delphia in the past has made an enviable record for hospitality and loyalty, whioh this week is destined to be cast into the baok ground. The people of this city will weloome the loyal soldiers and sailors whom they have invited to their homes in a way that will put to ehame the Hampton-Demooraoy of the State. This weloome will be unstinted in generosity and enthusiasm a generous and enthuslastfo outgoing of true and loyal hearts which have not yet permitted the past and its memories to slumber. Mr. Wallaoe, the author oi the slander, stands before the people of the olty aud fctate convicted of the very crime whioh he seeks to fasten upon the men who oast aside all the endearing ties of home in behalf of the national safety, who bore the brunt of the battle, and reokoned their lives as naught in the soale. The resort to this de vice on the part oi the Pennsylvania Demo cracy is but a part of the disreputable reoord which they have made during the past few months. It will serve but to add to the weight of opprobrium under which they will sink into ObUviuU. OBITUARY. Itobert p. Ulnc. Lt evening there died In our olty one of th tilpgf Vhearted, most social, and bouest citizens that Philadelphia possessed. Itobert P. King, of the firm of King & Balrd, breathed bis last. To those wbo knew hlm.lt almost idle to write a pentgyrlo. He was a politician of the school of politics which were honorable. He mingled in the arena only to keep It pure. He held it the duty of tbe olllcen to take his part In the de. (alls, and he wielded a commanding Influence In hia ward, and wielded It always In tbe cause oi purity. He was a atern and devoted loyalist Throughout all the war he was among tbe fore most and most consistent Republicans. Soolaily he was genial in the extreme. "Big-hearted'' Is tbe best adjeotive we can suggest. United with dozens of organizations, he mingled In them only to promote tbe good feeling and friendship which should characterize man and man. He was In every res peat a model cltl "en and a true friend. The numbers who lament his death attest how near he waa to tbe hearts of Iho.-e who knew him. Mr. King had been ill for abont two weeks of typhoid fever, and it was thought at one time that he would recover, but yesterday morning be grew worse rapidly, aud at 0 o'clock last evening he passed away from earth. Mr. Klnft was born In Philadelphia on the 3d of April, 1815. He entered tbe china store of Messrs. Reed & Gray when he was thirteen years of age, and worked tusre for two year, when be Was Indentured to the printing binl nets. On theSih of December he started busi ness for himself, in connection wltb Mr. Alexan derJBalrd, and tbe firm of King & Balrd has been well known for ihe lnt thirty years Mr. King was at one time a stiuool Whig, and when the Repubhoan party was called Into being he beoame a warm advocate ol Its principles. Mr, King Interested himself much la political aiTalia, without ever belug a seeker after ofBoo. .In 1810 he was elected a member of the Board of Guardluns of the Poor, and in 1854 he was elected to the same position for alx years, under tbe Consolidation act. Two years of this term Mr. KlngF- acted as President of the Board. In 1800 Mr. King represented the Republican party as Presidential elector for tbe Second Congres sional District, and In 1834 he represented the First Congressional District In the same capa city. In 1863 Councils eleoied him a member of the Bounty Fnnd Commission, and the Commis sioners elected him President. Mr. King was an active Mason, and was Past Master of Frauk lln Lodge, No. 131, A. Y. M., a member of Phlla delpbla Cbapter, No. 160, and Philadelphia Eo. campment, No. 2. He was also connected with tbe Franklin Lodge, No. 5, 1. O. O. F.; the Ame rican Protestant Association; the Philadelphia Typographical Society, and the Philadelphia Press Club; and he was an honorary member ot the Diligent, Resolution, and Phoenix Hose Companies, and the Washington Greya and Grey Reserves. Mr. King was a member of various other business, bene volent, and political organizations. In faot he was interested in all Ipublto matters) and as an aotlve business man, a large-minded and liberal citizen, and a pleasant, genial gentle man, he will be much mourned by a large circle of lilenos and acquaintances. Robert W. Barnard. Mr. Robert W. Barnard, Sr., died on Saturday afternoon, in the 69th year of his age, after an illness of one week. Mr. Barnard was a printer by trade, and for over thirty years he was con nected with the Inquirer as lureinan. ;in 18(11) he became the senior partner In the firm of Bar nard & Jones, In Minor street, and as such car ried on the printing business for a number of years. He was subsequently appointed to a pobltlon In the Revenue service, whioh he beld up to the time of his death. Mr. Barnard was one of tbe originators of the Philadelphia Typo graphical Society. Charles II. Graflen. It is with profound regret that we are com pelled to announce the sudden demise of Mr, Charles H. Qraffen, for some time one of the attaches of the Sunday Mercury, who departed this life early tbls morning, at the residence of his parents, No. 637 Pine street. This Intelli gence will oarry sorrow and a sense of desola tion to many a heart, for his geniality of tem per and social qualities had won for him many and steadfast friends. He had for many years been connected with the press of this city as correspondent and editorial assistant, and by the industry and ability he had manifested In his various and arduous labors had won a credl table reputation. For many years prior to the Rebellion tbe deceased was connected with the Sunday Dispatch, for whioh he contributed a column known as Religious Intelligence. At the breaking out of the war he was employed by the New York Herald aa army correspon dent, and remained as such until its close. On returning to the olty, he Identified himself with the Mercury, and continued the column of Re ligious Intelligence, but was more prominently known as the base-ball editor. He was about thirty-five years of age, and was one of the originators of the Press Olnb In this city.
