Fob a week past the attention of the citizens of Philadelphia has been centred with absorb. ig interest on the proceedings progressing in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Pablio ' Interest, snob as is rarely felt in any lega1 movement, has been exoited bj the shifting attitudes of the officers engaged In the Investi gation and the officers being investigated. At last a clear case is presented, and in the argu ments of the counsel we find a re'sume' of the condition of things in the Prothonotary'a oflloe as revealed by the testimony. From the evi dence submitted we feel authorized in saying that, in all probability, in addition to the G000 papers with bona Jide seals attached, there are also as many more forged, stolen, or felonious, clroulated by scoundrels either In or having Access to the offioe. The evidenoe shows tha1 We have no protection against unlimited fraud and we wonld well tremble for the purity o our ballot-box if there had not intervened a higher power than the Judge at Nisi Prias. There are in existence two courts oompoted of the Supreme Judges, or, more correctly speak ing, one court and a segment the Supreme Court in Bano and Nisi Prius. At present the Chief Justioe is holding the latter, and of It we shall first speak. A number of our most substantial citisens petitioned the Chief Jus tioe to grant a rule on tbe following parties for the following causes, to show cause why their certificates of naturalization should not be reoalled: 1st. On 27 men, beoause they did notspeoify their residences in their application, as pro Tided for by law. 2d. On 27 men, because they were vouohed for by the same man, viz , James A. .Watson, and vouched for fraudulently. 3d. On 2 men, because they vouched for ach other. The two first of these rules he refused alleging that the first was not required by law, which is, we deem, an error, as can be seen by inspecting the acts of 1816 and 1823. Of this, however, the Judge was to deoide. The Bdoond was refused on a most singular ground that it was not unlikely that James A. Watson aotually knew all the men he Touched for, and did know them to have re sided for five years in the United States. Nay, the Chief Justice went further. lie said that one voucher might honestly vouoh for 100 men. Certainly it is not impossible I It is not impossible that a cargo of 1000 Irish men might be damped down on one spot, and being at once governed by an Amerioan, live all together for five years. In that case the American oould honestly vouoh for the entire thousand. This Is not impossible, but, Mr. Chief Justice, is it not improbable f Is it likely that when Watson vouohed for these men he committed perjury f We think it is. But, unfortunately' for the Chief Justioe, the matter is not leit in doubt. Watson himself speaks. Before an alderman yesterday he swore: "I vouched for seven or eight from Mont gomery county; they gave one dollar apleos for vouching for tneuo; I was In Trlmball u Hotel, at the railroad depot, Germanlown, wliea a fiarty of men from Montgomery county came n; I did not know any of thorn; U Mason Hoeker asked me to vouoQ for them; I si Id I would: Mr. fierce handed me fle dollars for Touching for them." The ink was not dry on the Chief Justice's refusal when the man himself confesses. The light in which this places the Court is not an enviable one. The rule on the two men, there being no possible exouse for refusal, Was granted, but personal service required a thing which will be almost impossible. So the matter stands, checked and tied down a NIbI Prius. Meanwhile the Supreme Court itself 13 moving. The letter of Justices Read, Agnew, and Williams, declaring that these proceedings have all been illegal, is a startling one, but one whioh is eminently truthful and just. The present was no time for hesitation, and we are glad that, as the Chief Justice would not read the letter in court, the higher tribunal of publio opinion was appealed to. Now what is the aspect in which that letter places the ap proaching election? It has altered the attitude of the parties, and will tend to new complications. Let us rise above all confines of party; let us sink the partisan and look at this grave question as citizens who dearly prize their citizenship, at voters who dearly prize the right of suffrage. We do not know, nor do we care, what were the politics of these newly-coined citizens. Some were doubtless Democrats; some were doubtless Republicans. If they were equally divided, or if either party possessed all exclu sively, we would speak the same. The quasi judicial character of tbe letter of Judge Read compels notice to be taken of it. Yet, with out some interpretation, it is not yet law. We think, therefore, the Distriot Attorney, ' the law officer of the county, should Instruct the return judges, without distinction of party, what they should do. And in order to avoid all trouble, his instruotions should be somewhat in this wise: "You oannot refuse the votes of naturalized citizens utterly and entirely without causing probable trouble. You cannot aocept them unconditionally with out sacrificing the purity of the ballot. Provide a separate box for these tickets voted. Let each one of them cast by such citizens be marked and counted, and certified to sepa rately. And let their rejeotion or aooeptanoo eat with the Supreme Court when it Bits on the Monday after the election." In some saoh plan we call on all proper-minded citizens to join. By it justice will be done, peaoe pre served, and the majesty of the law vindicated. Let no partisan bias warp the Judgment. Let us avoid oontention and possible bloodshed, and all aooept a plan whioh is both peaceable and eminently just. Let the highest tribunal of the land aot, and let us, like law-abiding citizens, abide its decisions. Thompson Kesponds. Tbb Age this morning commences to call hard names on the very first line of Its editorial page. Judge Read is likened to "a vile bird" in a rare sentenoe whioh laments the fact that "a partisan Judge descends from his eminenoe to assail the integrity of the records of the court of which he is a member." But the Age has nothing to say about a partisan Judge who leaped over the' counter and benohes in front of him in his eager haste to get into the witness-box, and then swore point-blank, and without a moment's hesitanoy, that a certain signature was not that of the man who sat trembling in front of him confessing his ina bility to say the Same himself. Perhaps the faot that James Ross Snowden, the Prothono tary, is the brother-in-law of James Thomp son the Chief Justice, may be a palliating cir cumstance, and tend to detract materially from the indecency which attaches to the aorobatio feat of the latter, when viewed solely from the standpoint of the proprieties of judicial life. Be that as it may, if Judge Read had, in truth, descended from his eminenoe to assail the integrity of the reoords of the court of which he is a member, his action would in deed have been grossly partisan, and justly censurable on more grounds than one. Bat the statutes of the State are so framed that the Supreme Court cannot come together in banc until a week after an infamous fraud upon the rights and liberties of a free peo ple may perchance be fully consumated. But the rights and liberties of the people are not alone involved in this matter. The honor and dignity of our highest judioial tribunal, which has heretofore ranked as among the purest in the land, have likewise been assailed, and that through the connivance of two of its members. As Judge Read has inoontestably shown, the judicial labors of the court have been turned over to two tip staves, the law of the land set at utter defiance, and the rights of the people most wantonly attacked. The sanotuary of justioe has been profaned with wholesale perjury, no longer a matter of mere presumption, but now clearly established by the voluntary con fession of one of the men who have been guilty of the heinous crime. If the presiding Judge had pursued a course in conformity with the law and the praotioe in other courts, this out rage would have been impossible. By his negligence and connivance alone was it ren dered possible; and as soon as it was brought to his attention and that of his Democratic colleague, the Chief Justice, it was fully en dorsed by them, no effort being made even to inquire into the facts involved. By this course, so epenly defiant of law and justioe, the two Democratic judges made it absolutely necesrary that the remaining members of the court should protest in the most solemn man ner against the whole proceeding. In response to that protest the Chief Justioe has written a letter, which we publish else where. As the Age confesses this morning, its most striking feature is its "careful abste miousness from referring to the particular facts of the case." Thefaotsof the case are, indeed, incontestable, and in avoiding any reference to them the Chief Justioe displays more wisdom than he usually does, lie affects to regard the letter of Judge Read, with the endorsement and concurrence of Judges Agnew and Williams, as a purely extra-judicial proceeding, and yet deolines to meet any of its allegations in an extra-judloial way. And all this, forsooth, beoause of his high sense of propriety t When James Thompson, brother-in-law of James Ross Snowden, and an undisguised champion of the Ilampton-Damo-cracy, talks about judioial propriety, hi8 facetiousness becomes so broad and open that the whole community is convulsed with langhter at his rare judioial taot in putting and po luting a first-class joke. Aside from this careful and laborious lecture upon the proprieties of judicial life, the re sponse of the Chief Justice is empty and void, and, therefore, contains nothing whioh da" mands further notice at our hands. The simple faot remains that three of the judges of the highest judicial tribunal of the Commonwealth have entered a solemn protest against the illegal and unwarrantable proceed ings of the two who constitute the Democratio minority. This much they oould do at pre sent, and nothing more. For acting so promptly they have merited and received the heartfelt thanks of the people, who will await in pa tience the day when they can enforce this protest, and prevent the consummation of the gross fraud which two partisan judges have attempted to perpetrate in the interest of pro slavery Democraoy. How far the efforts made to arrest the scheme to prevent a fair expression of the sentiments of the legal voters of Pennsylvania, by the circulation of fraudulent naturalization papers, will prove successful remains to be seen. Some of the rascals oonoerned in these frauds are evidently becoming alarmed, and there is a fair prospeot that the drafts of the Democratio leaders for illegal voters will not all be filled. It is idle to hope, however, that the supporters of the Democratio ticket will be confined exclusively to bona fide citizens, and it becomes the imperativeduty of every man who favors the principles and candidates of the Republican party to make strenuous efforts to counteract the threatened frauds, by securing the attendance at the polls of every Republican voter. A full Republican vote will ensure a Bepublioan victory in the State and city. Rlair'a Attack on General Grant. Th charges brought by Frank Blair, in his recent speech at Tittsburg, against General Grant, would not be worthy of comment if it were not for Blair's present position as a rival candidate, while the labored length and style of the charge is evidently Intended to attract attention. Denuded of the mass of verbiage that almost obscures Its meaning, the charge is reduoed to the simple, unsup ported opinion of Mr. Blair, that ha think that a man in General Grant's present lofty station would not surrender suoh powers for the transient four-years' glory of the Pre sidency. Therefore, and for this cause alone, he has pretended to endorse opinions at varianoe with his own, beoause he knows that the party nominating him is "la favor of absolute and despotlo government." Mr. Blair is convinced that General Grant would prefer his present station, as better suited to his tastes and education, but that his ambition hai been aroused, and to satisfy it and the wishes of the party he is now laboring to change the Presidenoy into a diotatorship. It is these promptings, and these alone, that urge him, for he does not hate the South nor love the negro I All this seems to be a queer pieoe of reason ing, but logio it is intended to be. Ia the whole chain there is only one faot produoud, and that is that General Grant oannot pos sibly have any affinity for the negro beoause Frank Blair himself knew htm onoe to be a pro-slavery Democrat. This faot is, oddly enough, made the main reliance and starting point of the argument, and we are left to wonder, from the importance given to the statement, whether Mr. Blair thinks that no man can ever possibly change a political opinion, or whether he has that faith in General Grant's strength and vigor of mind that he believes it utterly impossible for him to do so. This ought to be esteemed the highest com pliment that the Vice-Presidential Democratio candidate iould pay to any man that he, many years ago, was pro-slavery, and has adhered to that faith through all the fluctua tions and mutations of politics not even a Blair could be m ire virtuously consistent t If the eloquent periods of. Mr. Blair can be made to mean anything, it is that the Re publican party is determined to ohange our form of government into a diotatorship for life, and that General Grant is willing to help them in case they will make him the dictator. Otherwise, General Grant is a temperate, wise, just man, and a good and faithful sol dier, who has done right in the most trying positions, and would do it again, if only the Republicans would let him alone and not tempt his ambition 1 This teems to us to be "a pretty kettle of fish," and if Mr. Blair undertakes to prove it at all, he is in danger of himself jumping from the frying-pan into the fire. We subjoin a paragraph from Genera1 Blair's speech, that our readers may individu ally unravel its mystio meshes: 'It Is not that General Grant Is In affinity with the negroes; because 1 once knew hltn when he was a pro slavery Democrat. It la not that he has any hatred for the soldiers or the people of the Houib, because he asked and obtained amnesty and pardons for those who were In aims against the Govern ment. It Is because Lis military Instincts teach him that tbe parly which has put him forward Is In favor of absolute and despotlo government, and be expects to be made tbe permanent dictator of the country. In my judgment, be would not exchange tbe oQice which benow holds to be the constitutional Pre sident of the United Stales for four years, and then retire from publio life still a young man. He would prefer his present position, as better eoited to bis tastes and military education, and equal In emolument to the other, which lasts tor life, were he not tempted by that last infirmity of great minds ambition; and he is willing to see the liberties of the country over thrown, if by ao doing he can attain for himself the great prize of permanent and absolute power during life." By the proclamation of Distriot Attorney Mann, published elsewhere, it will be seen that that official is doing his full duty in en deavoring to arrest the perpetration of frauds upon the ballot-box whioh are being attempted by the Democracy by wholesale importatien of desperate characters from Baltimore, New York, and other neighboring cities. Several gangs of these villains have already been oap tured, and it is to be hoped that every one of them will be caught and properly punished. Tbb desperate electioneering devioes of the Democracy are tantamount to a confession that the tide of publio sentiment is overwhelm ingly against them. They virtually acknow ledge that, if the election is legally oonduoted, and if it serves the end for whioh eleotlons were established, of ascertaining the wishes of a majority of bona file oitizens, they will be defeated. The Republicans, knowing that they cannot be beaten by fair means, have now the additional duty thrust upon them of guarding against the insidious dangers of a political pro gramme founded on perjury, violenoe, and in vasion. We have an abiding faith, however, that even this difficult task will be accom plished, and that, by proper and continued efforts, the frauds of our adversaries will deepen their guilt without ensuring their triumph. Tbk Democraoy propose to overthrow the legal voters of Philadelphia, not only by their batch of illegally naturalized oitizens and their fraudulent naturalization papers, but by an invasion of Rebel emissaries from Balti more and New York. The men who in the Monumental City massacred troops sent for ward to defend the oapital, and the anti-draft rioters of 1SU3, are the acknowledged friends of Seymour, and they are ready to oommit any crime necessary to redeem his desperate political fortunes. They will dlsoover, how ever, that it is a dangerous business to tamper with the elections of Philadelphia. If they are wise tbey will hesitate before exchang ing their UBual avooations as thieves and oat throats for the Kile of ballot-box stuffers. Blavb Property in tiix South. On this subject Judge Kelley reoently said: "Unable to dispute the Uots I have thus brought to your notice, Mr. Seymour, you admit that there has boen a great increase in the wealth and prosperity of the people of the North and tbe Paciflo States; but, with your usual planslbillty, you assert that the South baa been impoverished, and that, in view of her los of properly, we are poorer than we were in 1801, when she made war upon as. Well, sir, 1 accept the issue, and stand prepared to prove that tbe people of tbe Southern States the old slave States are richer now than they ever were. What! yon ak, will you make that assertion, In view of the faot that they lost nearly or quite two thousand millions of dol lara in slave property alone? Yes. air, I do; for I deny your fact. Tbe statement involves one of your crafty plausibilities. Tbe slave property of the South was not destroyed. It is all there now, and in more effective working condition than ever before. Every man, woman, and child who would have been there had there been no war, are there now, except thoie who, having enlisted in the Union army, were killed by the Southern Democracy I hose whom your distinguished friend, General N. B. Forrest, whom you so cord lull y welcomed as a delegate to tbe Convention over whioh you presided, and who voled for your nomination, murdered in cold blood after their surrender, at Fort Pillow, or such as your other friends, of tbe Kn-Klnx Klan, have bung, ahot, burned, or otherwise murdered. Yes, sir, with these exceptions, the former slaves of the South are all Bllll there, ready to exobange honest toll for fair wages. And we must, therefore, strike this Hem from yonr debit to my aooonnt."
