The New York KIilon Fraud. Tnn timely expose of the manner ia wUlob fraudulent naturalization najmrs were ruana faotnred by the wholesale tu this oitjr previous to the Ootober elsctiou, iu the Interest of the Demooratio party, put the INpubllcans on their guard; and if we suffered a partial loss In Ootober, we were abl to nave the city for Grant and Colfax in Novr mber. Many per son, on the strength ot the disclosures that were made, fancied that w were even ahead of New York in rascali'y, but the fact ia that the Democratic maiiKrs in that city were more aicaropliabed rascals than ours, and j managed to keep their lfailous operations oonoealed, until they aoooniyliahed their par- poae, at IsasJ. I A ooinmittee appointed by the House of j Representatives to inventive the New York eleotion frauds has prepared a report, in which they state that the ano tiling frauds in the State, and especially iu the .u'y of New York, , surpass anything thai has been known ia our past history, and tbat thy were the re- suit of a systematic plan ot gigautic proportions, i Stealthily prearranged aud boldly executed, not merely by degraded drsperadoes, but with : the direct sanction, approval, aud aid of many j prominent citizens and iffii!i'd of New York. ; Thousands of aliens fraudulently procured or were furnished with naturalization papers, I by whioh they were enabled to register as oters and to vote in vioUtion of law, and j many hundreds of persons voted in New York oity from two to forty tiuien, or more, under assumed names, fraaiulutly registered for the purpose. The gross-st neglect of duty and actual connivance in the frauds, on the part of the officers and Democratic partisans attached to the courts, ar bovn by the report of the committee to have existed; and they deolare that, from th vi ienie ia their pos session, there is no dub', nut through these agencies the Democratic Ki-cors for President and Vios-President, and to Democratic candi date for Qovecnor of the State of New York, were fraudulently elected. Thrt committee give it as their opinion tli'H the existing State laws and mode of enforcing thein are wholly inadequate to prevent thse frauds, but that Congress has the power, a d ought to exercise it, to enact laws which, if faithfully executed, will to some extent fumisu protection. At present there is no law of Cougress professing to puniBh frauds in voting or conducting elec tions, and the penalties relating to certificates of naturalization are entirely inadequate. The committee state thai the Judges of the Supreme Court and the Clerk, Charles E. Leow, threw every obstrnotiou in their way, and endeavored to hinder them from prose cuting their investigation. The whole nam ber of blank naturalization certificates re vived into Mr. Leow's ollije is shown to have been 39,000; the number issued, aooording ,to the reoord, was 10,070; the nuoiber of blanks remaining on hand is 48G2, leaving 27,003 un accounted for. In the three hundred aud forty districts thfre were oast in November 156,060 votes, a number nearly aa great as all the votes cast in six States of the Unioa. Mayor Hoffman, now Governor of the State Distriot Attorney A. 0key Hall, now Major of New York city, Judge MoUunn, and other officials, rendered the most iinportaut assist ance in this grand conspiracy to defeat the will of the people; and wiiu the courts and officers of Justice all controlled by men elected as Pemoorats, men are not only able to esoape all punishment for crime, but immunity and protection were promised repeatedly to those engaged in the eleotion fraud. It is evident that the time has arrived when some prompt and determined measures must be adopted by Cougress to put a stop to this sort of business. The Ilspublieau party has the power in its hands, and it will bejrecreant to its duty and wid deserve to fall Into contempt If it does not euact some law to punish rascals, protect honest mn, and secure the purity of the ballot-box. Tne committee recommend the withdrawal of naturalization from the New York oity court; also, that oue day be fixed for the elect ouof Representatives to Congress throughout the United States; that provision be made fr enabling the eleotions of the President aud Vice-President to be oontested; and that a constitutional amendment be propoed changing the mode of electing the President aud Vice-President. These propositions are well enough, but they do not cover the whole ground. Tne whole naturalization system needs reforming, and the matter should receive th early attention of CongresB, so that satisfactory laws may be enaoted governing the whole United States and put.in operation before the next election! Andrew Johnson' Nrvrnteenth Veto. On the 19th of February, 18ii0, Andrew John son sent to CoBgress his fi-at veto. Sinoe that day barely three years have elapsed, and yet so busy has the President been in attempt ing to defeat the will of the people, as expressed by their representatives in Congress, that the - massage sent by him to the House of Repre sentatives yesterday, disapproving of the Cop per Taiiff bill, was the seventeenth in order of lu kind. In addition to these seven teen out-and-out vetoes, he has frequently protested against some of the most essential features of bills which he Las signed; has per mitted a soore or more of important bill to become laws by the lapse of the ten days within whioh he must return a bill with his objeotions to insure their effect; besides killing off quite as many more by withholding hi? assent until after the adjournment of the two honpes, after the pooket-veto fashion. We have before ua a oopper token, the size of an old-fashioned cent, whioh was strnok off In the days of Andrew Jackson, but which is far more pertinent, in its devioea aud mottoes, to the times of the second Andrew. One side of the token represents the redoubtable hero of New Orleans emerging from an iron safe, with a drawn sword in one hand and a money bag in the other, surrounded by the motto, "I take the responsibility." On the reverse side is the image of a donkey, with the words "Veto" below and "Roman ilrmnosa" above, and surround, ing the whole, another maxim of Andrew I "The Constitution as I understand it." The only change in the decorations of a similar token to commemorate tho achievements of Andrew II that would be needed, would be a substitution of the Capitol in ruins for the iron safe, a quill for the sword, aud a bundle of vetoes for the money-bag. Andrew Johnson developed his admiration for the veto power aa long ago as 18 17, when, being at that time a member of the House of Representatives, he delivered a long harangue In advocacy of the constitutional right of the President to exercise this power. His biogra pher states that "he presented an historical ontline of the exercise of the veto power, running back to the Romau republic." Doubt less, he expatiated At length upon the beau tits of the system in vogue some centuries ago in the great Polish Diet, composed of several thousand noblemen, each of whom enjoyed the rare privilege of an unqualified veto upon the action of all the others, the only manner in whioh such a veto could be overriden being by the assassination of the refractory legislator. Ia the same speeoh Andrew Johnson traced the history of the veto power and its exeroise in the United States, enumerating twenty five instanoes previous to 1847. Washington vetoed two bills daring his administration of eight years; Madison ex jroised the right six times in his eight years of o)B;e; Monroe once only in the same length of time; Jackson, the illustrious founder of the modern school of "Romau firmness," objected to the passage of nine bills during his term of eight years; Tyler, the first of the latter day Apostates, was satisfied with four vetoes iu four years; and Polk took advantage of his constitu tional right to head off Congress three times. During the administrations which intervened between Polk aud Johnson, the veto power was resorted to very seldom, and generally only in the case of appropriation bills in which nothing more than sectional favoritism was involved. Prom the above facts it will be seen that, during the first half century of our history, the Presidents of the United States exercised the veto power eighteen times, in contrast with which Andrew Johnson has already done the same thing seventeen times iu less than four years. Under these circutustauoes, the propriety of striking off a medal commemorative of his "Roman firmness" will be questioned by no one. Tim Electoral I'ollpgc. The result of the last Presidential eleotion has impressed the Democratic Senator from Penn sylvania, Hon. Charles R. Back ale w, more strongly than ever with the necessity of secur ing, by a change in the laws regulating elec tion?, or in the Constitution, representation for the Democratic minorities whioh were en gulfed in 1800, IS 04, and 18G3 in the tri umphant waves of Republicanism. While we have not'the slightest desire to assist Mr. Butkalew's endeavors to maintain a precarious existence for the Demooratio party, despite its condemnation by the patri otic instincts and popular judgment of the nation, we have no objection to presenting to our readers, in a condensed form, the leading ideas ia his speech of the 17wh, in which he earnestly and ably advocated his favorite idea. Mr. Bnckalew demonstrated that under the present system it is not only possible to elect a President who does not obtain a clear ma jority over all his competitors, but that a Presi dent may be chosen w ho receives a muoh smaller number of votes than his unsuocessfal com petitor. As an illustration, he adduced the fact that Adams was elected in 1824, although General Jackson received more popular votes than his two principal competitors, Adams and Crawford, combined. He also referred to the fact, that although in 1SG0 Douglas re ceived 1,375,157 votes, being the second can didate on the list; and although Hell received but C'J0,631 votes, and Breckinridge 847,053, if the election had gone to the House Doug las could not have been voted for there, be cause he had received fewer electoral votes than either of his competitors, and that the House, as then constituted, would have elected either Hell or Breckinridge, thus defeating Lincoln as well as Douglas. The remedy usually proposed is a direct popular vote for President and Vice-President, whioh would dispense altogether with the preseii t antiquated and cumbersome ma chinery of the electoral colleges. Mr. Bncka lew, howevex, contends that, notwithstanding the justice of such a change, it ia impracti cable, on acoouut of the teuaoity with which the Bmaller States cling to the enhanced political importance and power they aoquire through their Senatorial electors; and that they will forever refuse to voluntarily ratify an amendment of the Constitution whioh wonld diminish their influence in the great quadrennial oombats of conflicting parties. The remedy he proposes is, that Congres sional electors shall be chosen by the respec tive districts as Congressmen are now chosen, instead of being eleoted on general State tloktta. To make this change uniform, it would be neoeesary that the power now vested in the State Legislatures of prescribing the mancer in whioh eleotora are chosen should be transferred, by a constitutional amend ment, to Congress, and that Congress should then provide by law for the adoption of the proposed new system in every State. The praotical effect of this new Bfstem would be that in Presidential eleotions, no matter who would be the favorite oaHdldate of Pennsylvania as a State, Lancaster county would be sure to oast one eleotoral vote for the Republican nominee, and Harks county as certain to vote for the standard-boarer of the Demooraoy; and that the votes of the Congres sional eleotora would closely correspond with the political complexion of Congressional dele gations. The IcrlfHl lIfl)cnlly at liibnrii. Tub telegraph announces that great excite ment prevailed at a Catholic church in Auburn, New York, on Sunday last, in oonsequenoe of the determination of a large proportion of the congregation to resist the action of Bishop McQuaid in removing a favorite old pastor, O' Flaherty, and installing a new appointee, named Kavanagh. When the Utter attempted to discharge the du'iesof his priestly office, a portion ot the orowd pushed their way to the altar, and taking the priest by the arm, led him out of the church. The Bishop, who was present, tried in vain to enforce his authority; and the interposition of the deposed priest was apparently necessary to prevent a violent assault upon hia nominal successor. After Bishop McQuaid and his protege had left the churob, a meeting of one thousand Catholios was hold, which strongly condemned the action of the Bishop and insisted upon the retention of their old pastor, Father O'Flaherty. The meeting also resolved to appeal from the Bishop to the highest eccle siastical authorities of the country, or, if ne cessary, to the Pope himself. Similar occurrences whioh occasionally transpire in different portions of the United States, indicate that American Catholioism, like all other religious in this country, is im bued with the liberal and independent spirit pervading every ramification of American society, and that no attachment to the doc trines, the traditions, or the authorities of the Church will prevent energetio resistance to any ecclesiastical aotion which is deemed un just or tyrannical by indignant congregations. The Catholic Church is increasing in num bers and wealth in thi3 country with wonder ful rapidity. Its ranis are constantly swelled by the never-ceasing waves of emigra tion, and occasionally converts are gathered in from other denominations. But the con tinuance of this prosperity is contingent, in a large degree, npon the preservation of har monious relations between the ruling powers of the Church and the respective congrega tions. Unquestioning obedience oannot be uniformly obtained by ecclesiastical pressure; and there are thousands of American Catho lics who would even brave the terrors ot excommunication before they would volun tarily obey decrees which they deemed arb!. trary or unjust.
