A W'aj to Prevent Naturalization Frauds.
from the If. T. averting FotU
The lawa under which foreigners may be
come American cttfzeua are enacted b Con
greea. The duty of naturalizing or conferring
citizenship I, however, put upon the State
oonrta. ,
This plan Joes not seem to work well. It Is
certain that frauds are committed; that men
are made Citizens who ought not to be; and
that the Naturalization law is made the Instru
ment for procuring in this and other wajs
many illegal votes;
One of the morning papers proposes that
Congress shall "put the whole business of
naturalization exclusively into the hands of
the oourta of the United States." This would
do well enough; but it would be still better
tor Congress to enact that a foreigner shall be
entitled to naturalization in four instead of, aa
now, five years; bat that a naturalization
paper shall not entitle the person to vote at
any election nntil a year after its issue.
Under euoh a rule the time of trial would
not be lengthened; the foreigner would be
come entitled to vote Just as soon as now; but
by a merely mechanical device, by obliging
aim to apply for and receive his papars of
citizenship a year beforehand, fraud would be
prevented.
There is reason to believe that suoh & change
would do away with moat of the frauds now
practised. It would certainly relieve the
courts of the great pressure of this kind of
business now put on them just before import
ant elections; it would do away with the un
pleasant suspicions and aoousations of fraud
now so frequent; and it would make the
records of the courts a sort of registry of
newly naturalized voters, which could be
copied by the agents of both parties long
before the election, and thus enable each to
detect any attempt of its opponents to intro
duce fraudulent or illegal votes.
Minister Johnson.
From the ff. Y. Oommerciai Advertiser,
Mr. Beverdy Johnson's short career as a
representative of the United States in Eng
land has hardly justified the high expecta
tions that were formed of him in that capacity.
Be is entitled to a great deal of credit for his
efforts to strengthen the amicable feelings
that ought to exist between the two countries,
and it is to the credit of the English press that
it so fully appreciates his readiness to forgive
and forget the petty vexations that cost his
countrymen so much anxiety and so many
losses during the dark hours of the oivil war.
There is a great deal in the history of the last
few years which Englishmen would naturally
desire to cover with a veil of oblivion. They
are even ready to pay our little bill for the
Alabama claims, provided we say no more
about it. There is, of course, nothing to be
gained by keeping old sores epen too long,
and Minister Johnson's surprising magna
nimity in this respect naturally draws out the
gushings of the English heart.
But there is snob, a thing as having too
much of a good thing, and there is a growing
oonviotion oh this side of the Atlantio that
Minister Johnson has a little overshot the
mark. In the first place he has been injudi
cious In leaving himself and his oountry open
to assaults like those of the Confederate sym
pathizing Roebuck, and was in too great a
Hurry to reply to indignities of whlon an
American minister should properly take no
Official oognizanoe.
It is only when we contrast the course of
Mr. Johnson with that of Charles Franois
Adams that we realize bow much Americans
are indebted to the latter gentleman. Mr.
Johnson, in a quiet time, and in smooth wa'er,
has made more disagreeable stir within a few
weeks than Mr. Adams made during as many
years of stormy waters. The latter oonduoted
the most difficult negotiations, in a most ex
citing period, without involving himself in
personal broils, and never gave an Amerioan
citizen abroad reason to blush for him or his
country. It is not too late for Minister John
son to imitate the example of his predeoessor.
Let him keep within the line of his proper
business, collect the Alabama bill as soon and
as quietly as he can, and abstain from ambi
tions efforts to influence publio opinion by
Irregular methods. By this means he may
contrive to get over the balance of bis career
with oredit to himself and honor to his ooun
try. English opinion would not tolerate Minis
ter Thornton if that gentleman were to lay
himself open to insult by accepting an invita
tion from a New Bedford corporation if com
posed of the viotims of Anglo-Confederate pri
vateers. Yet this is precisely similar to what
Mr. Johnson has done, and all the brilliancy
of his retort to the snappish Roebuck can
scaroely atone for the original blunder in his
representative capacity of aooepting the ques
tionable hospitalities of the Sheffield Munici
pality, before his credentials were presented
to the English Government.
The Southern Electoral Vote The Presi
dent and the Military.
From the IT. Y. Herald.
President Johnson on Monday issued an
; order to army officers in command in the seve
ral Southern distriots, defining their duties in
regard to the elections, and calling their atten
tion to those provisions of law forbidding any
interference or intimidation on the part of the
military or naval forces at Buch times. In this
President Johnson is right. Many of the
military commanders have entirely misunder
stood their duties and made themselves ridicu
lous. Their province is to preserve the peace
and aid in suppressing riots. If the people
of the unreconstructed States choose to vote
for Presidential electors the military have no
right to interfere. Whether the votes of suoh
States will or will not be oounted is altogether
a different matter. But the blundering folly
of military commanders and uneasy politicians
who are making so much fuss over the elec
toral votes of the South, lies in not compre
hending the fact that the majority for Qeneral
Grant in the loyal States will be so over
whelming that it could make no difference in
the grand result if every ex-Rebel State, re
constructed or unreconstructed, were 10 ne
oounted in favor of beymour. buch a con
cession would only make Seymour's vote a
little more respectable in point of numbers
than MuClellan's. The loyal States will de
cide this election with a unanimity even
greater than that with which the re-elentad
Abraham Linoolu, and the Southern eleotoral
oouia not alter theerdlot.were it to go to
the e&t0D' t0 TeXM' r 10 hoWar plaoe In
JIow They Kcououilze the Truth.
From the If. Y. Tribune.
The World rejoices the hearts of its Conner-
, head readers With oheering advices as folio in:
Th. Han. Henohel V. John ion has written
long letter to tne Democrat of Troup oouuty,
ii.r.rula. In ilea of A speooU. It u ei.uiaeiit.

ii., r. in Unnlinnuiir. Ala., he written a, Iodii
and conclusive letter lu favor of tne DjiuouraUo
party, and predicting 1U auooeaa la that State
and throughout tbe country."
Messrs. Uersohel V. Johnson and Robert
Tyler are both consistent advocates of a
"White Man's Government," and as suoh
stood by the Slaveholders' Rebellion from first
to last. Tyler was particularly aotlve in
curing the seoession of Virginia, though we
did not hear of his heading any bayonet charges
on the Boys in Blue nntil now. lie "pre
dicted the suocess" of the Confederacy, but
that didn't prevent its collapse; nor will his
confident prophecies help Seymour to an
election.
The New Haven Rrriteler announces that at
leatt two thirds of (be Hoys In Blue Jo thUoHy
will vote for Mr. Hevmonr, aud have Joined the
Jack ton Legion within tbe past three weeks."
Certainlv I It was "announced" in 1864,
by the New Haven Register and its kin, that
two-thirds of the Boys in Blue would vote for
their able and beloved ex-commander, George
B. MoClellan, for President, rather than for
the baokwoods lawyer, Lincoln; but they
didn't. He who imagines that soldiers who
then voted for Linooln over MoClellan will
now vote for Seymour over Grant must sup
pose that they have queer tastes.
"The Hon. John W. Wilcox, late radical can
didate for Congress in the 'Mariposa,' Califor
nia, District, has come out for Beymour and
Blair."
The only "late radical candidate for Con
gress in the Mariposa District, California," is
not John W. Wiloox, but Timothy G. Phelps,
who is hard at work for Grant and Colfax.
Some folks should have good memories, but
haven't. This Wiloox may possibly have
dreamed that he would be a "radical oandidate
for Congress," but seeing that he isn't, he
takes his little revenge on mankind in general
by going for Seymour ana Blair.
Southern Murders.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
The World thus moralizes over the late mas
sacre at Camilla, Georgia, and other outrages
at the South:
"The 'Bebels' of the Bonth have everything
to lose and nothing to gain by an 'outrage'
tbe radical leaders everything to gain and
nothing to lose. Who, then, la the more likely
to act the aggressor T Let the reader carefully
revolve thlasubjeol; let him consider that every
'outrage heretolore baa been profitable to that
party and unprofitable to the Houtli, and he
cannot but see where the guilt of these things
lies."
Comments by the Tribune,
"The Rebels of the' South have everything
to lose and nothing to gain by an 'outrage,' "
when they are its guilty authors, and in no
other oase. The World assumes that a ma
jority of tbe voters in the free States are Dem
ocrats; and it pretends that its own circulation
is equal to that of the Tribune. It is very cer
tain that, through ours and other journals,
the whole truth comes to light. These "out
rages" oan only damage the Rebels by indu
cing Northern citizens otherwise inclined to
the Democrats to vote with the Republicans.
That is the precise way the only way in
which the Rebels "lose" by said "outrages."
And they could not so lose if the candid did
not see that the Rebels were the guilty
aggressors.
The World understands this whole matter
perfectly. It knows that the one question that
now distraots the South and disturbs the na
tional peaoe is "Shall blacks be allowed to
vote at elections f" The Rebels are determined
that they shall not that the aots of Congress
which made them voters shall be subverted,
as FrankBlair foreshadowed in the letter that
gave him the Democratic nomination for Vice
President and the loyal four millions thus re
manded into nonentity and vassalage. In striot
accordance with this programme, the Rebels of
Mitohell county determined that the Republi
can candidates for Congress and eleotor should
not speak at their county seat, Camilla, as they
had announced their intention to do; and,
when the day oame and the speakers, with a
band and prooession, they ambushed, fired
upon, and butchered as many or mem as pos
sible, hunting and shooting the fugitives for
hours. All who have read both stories know
that this is the substantial truth, and that it
is a natural, necessary result of the dootrine
held by the World, by Beymour, and by the
Democratic party generally, that "niggers"
have no right to vote, and that it is presump
tion and usurpation on their part to attempt
it. If Frank Blair is a statesman, then the
Rebel murderers at Camilla were patriots; and
their action was far more justifiable than that
of Seymour's "friends" in this oity in burning
a colored orphan asylum, and hanging or
roasting "niggers" who were not even aooused
of carrying a penknife. It is the devilish
spirit of caste tne notion that one man, be
cause he is white, has a right to domineer
over another because he is black that is at
the bottom of all these crimes and outrages,
and the World knows it.
The Unreconstructed States and the Elec
tions
From IT. Y. Time.
We hope there is no truth in the report at
tributing to Mr. Johnson an intention to inter
fere in the affairs of the three States not yet
reorganized, with the view of enoouraging
them to take part in the voting on the third of
November. The Democratic journals have for
some time past urged their party friends in
Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas to hold an
eleotion, despite the law and the decision of
tbe district commanders; and it is known that
in two of the States, at least, the supporters of
Seymour and Blair are preparing to aot upon
the advice. They have relied upon the Presi
dent's sympathy with their intention, as in
ferred from his vete message of July 20, in
which he asserted the continued validity of
tbe governments which Congress abolished.
All that is needed to consummate the mischief
is some Exeoutive step which shall conflict
with the military order forbidding an eleotion,
as issued by General Reynolds in Texas, and
which shall more speoifioally indicate the
President's approval of the course contem
plated by the Demooracy.
An attempt to hold an eleotion in the States
named will certainlv produce complications.
and probably very crave disaster. If made at
all it will be made under the pretended autho
rity of officials whom Congress legislated out
of office, acting for governments which have
no existence, with the suffrage restricted ex
clusively to whites. The mere effort would
provoke disturbance, and its proseoution
would unquestionably involve bloodshed. It
was in view of this peril that General Rey
nolds wisely forbade the opening of polls In
Texas, and Mr. Johnson will inour a serious
responsibility if be sets that order aside, or
encourages the belief that it may be disre
garded with impunity.
Whatever Mr. Johnson may think, or what
ever Democrats may desire, the law npon the
subject is too plain to leave room for cavil. It
provides that States which have not been
restored to the Union shall not be entitled to
representation in the Eleotoral College. "Nor
shall any electoral votes be reoeived or
oounted from any of such States." By this
enactment Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas are
exoluded from the Eleotoral College. Their
votes will not be reoeived. Neither .Grant nor
Seymour oan be strengthened by them. 1
True, the statute does not in terms forbid
the opening of polls, nor is that provision
necessary. The three States are still without
oivil government. They are ruled by military
authority. And, in the olroumstanoes, it is
the duty of the commanding Generals, respec
tively, to prevent a proceeding at varianoe
with the spirit of the law, necessarily tending
to exoite disturbance, and inoperative in rela
tion te the eleotion of President. Let Mr.
Johnson keep olf his bands, and allow those
who are charged with the maintenance of
order to perform their duty effectively. There
are already more than sufficient explosive
materials in those States, and tbe best thing
be oan do is to abstain from enoonraglng the
lawless and disloyal element which waits but
for his sanotion to begin its work.
The Electoral Vote of Alabama.
From the Mobile Register,
We cannot be too emphatic nor too per
sistent in keeping before our people the para
mount importance of registering and voting
at the November eleotion. It has been truly
said that there is no telling what a day or an
eleotion may bring forth; and, while we be
lieve in all sincerity that the majority in the
Electoral College will be overwhelming for
Seymour, yet it is in range of possibility that
the eight votes of Alabama will be neoessary
to decide the question. These eight votes lost
to the Democratic majority of the College, and
cast against us, will be equal to sixteen the
number of the large and important State of
Illinois.
Here, then, is the main point against whioh
to guard. Not only must we use the vote of
our State, but we must prevent its use in a
doubly telling sense against us by the
enemy.
Alabama is pronounced a State of the Union,
and in the Union. Congress, in the plenitude
of its power, has pretended to be merciful. It
has said to the "erring sister":
"Come to these clear flowing fountains,
Where you may wash and be clean"
And the "erring sister" has come. She has
drunk of the bitter waters of reconstruction,
and regenerated by the admission of her
Senators and Representatives whatever they
may be she is told she may lead a new and
better life. And it is a new life and a better
one, for it gives her new hope and new incen
tive in loosening the shackles that have bound
her fair limbs so long. She now has the power
to shake off the sore stiffness that cramped
her in her ohains; to slough away the de
spondency and lethargy that would soon have
proven so deadly, and to rise once more, in
her dignity and majesty, among the sovereign
States.
It is in her own hands to do this. If her
people rise with one aocord and agree to
vote as one man on the third of November,
the voice of Alabama will be heard high in
the glad song of triumph that swells for
tbe victory of right end law from Maine to
Mexico. For the vote of Alabama must and
will be recorded. Even the most rabi i radioals,
outside her borders, have not dared to deny
that right; they have endorsed it by claiming
the votes of her eight electors for Urant and
Colfax. They have failed even to hint at her
exclusion on the plea that they do of Texas,
V lrginia, ana Mississippi.
iheie was, therefore, nothing left them but
to so manipulate this vote as to justify the
claim they had made of it for their candidates.
This was left to the carpet-bag Solons at Mont
gomery, and we verily believe these wise men
have overreached themselves. That they
have not done so if we be mistaken is not
their own fault, but that of our people who
refuse to register and to vote. We have
affirmed and reaffirmed, and we now onoe
more repeat, that it is not only the right of
Alabama to vote, but her highest and most
saored duty.
As a state or the union and in the Union,
her eight eleotoral votes will be reoeived and
counted; those eight votes may decide the
eleotion for the Democratic candidates if oast
in their favor against the Demooratio candi
dates if cast against them.
What will be the feeling of the State, what
the feeling of every man in it, if when too
late it is shown that lukewarm, over-certain,
or hair-splitting uemoorats have let the vote
of Alabama offset and nullify the hard-earned
but honest verdict of a great, doubtful State f
Good News or General Meade.
From the Washington National Intelligencer.
We observe that General Meade reports to
General Grant that he will distribute the
troops in his department with a view to aid
the civil authorities to keep the peaoe during
the approaching election. They should have
been so distributed all along baok for the pur
pose of aiding the civil authorities in keeping
the peaoe. ueneral Meade now recognizes the
disposition of the civil authorities, who were
once Confederates, to keep tne peace, lie pro
poses to aid them. The radical demagogues
pronounce them rebellious, and aiders and
abettors of all sorts of crimes upon the negroes
and carpet-baggers. General Meade gives the
lie to all this by his admission that he will aid
the oivil authorities to keep the peaoe. There
would have been no great collisions, with
bloodshed, in the South, had troops been used
by certain mercenary generals and subordl
nate officers who have turned their baoks
upon the honorable sentiments that govern
most soldiers of the army, for the purpose of
preventing menaced outbreaks, by having
troops ordered to the spot, suitably prepared,
for the purpose of preventing resorts to force
by hostile elements of population.
But this has been habitually avoided by
such generals and subordinate officers, in
order that disorders, mobs, and outbreaks
might arise, to the end that, by distorting or
ntterlv falsifvinz the faots. nolitloal oarjital
might be had for the radical demagogues of
the JNorth.
What care suoh men about bloodshed, when
Stanton and Grant were guilty of the infamy
of inBtruoting General Butler to make nego
tiations "purposely offensive," to prevent
exchanges of prisoners ? In the great day of
the end of earthly things, these men, and all
like them who were partictps crimini$ in the
awiui guut referred to, win receive that con
demnation that human tribunals of justloe are
powerless to punish at all, much less in the
fearful manner that they should.
These characters oan have nothing but all
oonsnmlng misery, in view of what must be
the ever-present thought of guilt, that nearly
all who died at Andersonville and other South
ern prisons could have been preserved to their
country, relatives, and friends, had they but
have complied with the proposition of the
Confederate authorities to give over the prl
soners at those points without exchanges.
All the history of human atrocity in war
bears no comparison to the murderous policy
of btacton and urant, who said to lsutler,
"make negotiations in these matters purposely
offensive," no matter it Union prisoners do
suffer and die, without medicines, or food, or
clothing, as asked of us bV the Confederate
Government, with propositions to pay for them
in gold.
The Financial Issue Governor Seymour.
From the If, Y., World. ,
A sagaoious. statesman-like intelleot sees.
in advance of other minds, and it is Jts pro
vince to teach other minds what are the pre
cise questions on whloh nublio affairs hinge
Now that the Presidential oanvass is so far ad'
vanoed, it is worth while to look baok and see
how the Inanoial dlsonssions have flowed in
tbe channel marked out by Governor Seymour
before the opening of the Presidential cam
paign. In his speech in Couneotlout, early In
tbe spring, he charged the Republioan party
with enormous extra canoe, especially in
expenditures for the support of the army.
Although the platforms of both politioal par
ties put a different financial iasue in the fore
ground, it is curious to remark how the drift
of the financial controversy has followed
the direction so long ago given te it by
Governor Seymour. All th moat nctabla
efforts of the financial critics, every doonment
or epeecn wnion naa widely commanded publio
attention, has related to tbe extravaganoe
qnestlon and not to the greenback question.
Mr. Wells' letter. Mr. Tllden's speeches, Mr.
Atkinson's speech, Mr. Delmar's letter, are
prolix and elaborate on the question of reoelpts
and expenses, and nearly silent in respeot to
the medium in wh'ch tbe five-twenty bonds
should be paid. All of these documents follow
regularly in the wake of Governor Seymour.
discussing, with various and oonflioting views,
the question started by him in April, which
has eclipsed the greenbaok question made so
prominent in the two politioal platforms.
mil is due to the fact that Uovernor Sey
mour had looked into these subjects more pro
foundly than tbe makers of the platforms. As
an issue between the politioal parties, the
greenback question is of little cousequenoe.
Widely as the two parties differ on this sub
ject in theory, nothing oan be done by either
of them In praotice without the consent of the
other. During the next administration, the
Repnblioan party will have the Senate; the
Demooratio party the President and a majority,
or nearly a majority, of the House. In this
state of tbe political chessboard, it is evident
that no law can be passed for increasing the
quantity of greenbacks without the consent of
both politioal parties. But if the debt is to be
paid without issuing more greenbacks, money
must be raised by taxation and appropriated to
that purpose; whioh again requires an aot
of Congress", in whioh the Senate as
well as the House and the Presi
dent must concur. The Republican parly
being pledged to pay the debt in gold, and the
Demooratio party in gresnbacks, and each
having a complete check on the other, none of
the bonds are likely to be paid in either me
dium during the next administration. This is
not a question on whioh the Government is
compelled to act. The five-twenty bonds have
yet fifteen years to run, unless the Govern
ment chooses to pay them sooner; and before
they mature the question may cease to be of
any interest, by the restoration of specie pay
ments. Elections at present oannot turu on
questions whose practioal solution lies so far
in the future. While the Senate continues
Republican the bonds will not be paid in
greenbacks; and as nobody oan prediot the
state of the currency four years henoe, the
oonntry will decide more wisely then, in pre
sence of the facts. Under a prosperous and
economical administration we may, in four
years, make great advances towards resump
tion. We certainly should not recede in a
contrary direotion. If there should be a sur
plus revenue within the four years, n would
probably be applied towards the extinction of
the debt by the simple means of purchasing
bonds at current rates a proceeding whioh
would steer clear of the present controversy,
and yet have the advantage of extinguishing
the debt with greenbacks.
The real financial issue between the two
parties is, whether we shall stop the extrava
gance which has raised and spent money enough
since the war to have paid off all the five-twenty
bonds. This question, unlike the other, is
practical. An adverse Senate can arrest re
trenchment, if we have a Demooratio Presi
dent and Demoorats enough in the House to
make his vetoes effeotual. One branoh is all
powerful to check legislation, although it can
do nothing affirmative. It takes the whole
legislative power to authorize the payment of
the five-twenties before the twenty years ex
pire, or to provide greenbacks for that pur
pose; but either House of Congress alone, or
the President alone if his veto is sustained,
has power to arrest appropriations for the
extravagant or needless expenditure of
money. By a cheok on appropriations we
can accomplish all the greater objeots for
which the Democratic party strives. It will
enable us, for one thing, to cut down the
army to a peaoe standard, and leave the
Southern States to manage their looal affairs
according to their own liking. It will enable
us to curtail expenses in every department of
tbe publio service. To be sure, much will re
main undone, whioh it would be desirable to
do if we could have a Demooratio Senate. We
cannot, for example, repeal or modify the
exorbitant tariff, we oannot deprive the
national banks of their unjust privileges. But
we oan withdraw military coercion from the
South; we can put a stop to the present mon
strous waste of the people's money. Governor
Seymour evinoed the penetration of a states
man in turning the financial controversy into
this practioal channel.
