The radicals, conRoiotm of the Kinking for tunos of their party, are attempting to eroct Bnch barriers against the removal of alienage M will perpetually excludo immigrants from the eleotiTe-franchise. A bill with thin nefa rious object has been reported by the JmlioL ftry Committee of the House of Representa tives. This bill is of so monstrous a charac ter that it challenges the notice and should call forth the indignant remonstrances of all honest men. We will first point out the temporary effoct of this infamous bill, and then explain its permanent operation. It will be seen that, by this scheme, no foreign-born person can hereafter receive a certificate of citizenship who has not, at a period four years previous, made an applica tion in the form and manner prescribed by the bill. The effect of its passage will be to Annul and cancel every declaration of inten tion heretofore made, but not yet matured and consummated by the actual naturaliza tion of the person making it. It will be all the same whether he has resided in the coun try one year or five; whether he has made the declaration now required and taken the legal oath or not. lie cannot be naturalized after tho passage of this bill without making a new application to a different court, in a different manner, and then waiting four years for naturalization papers that will confer no rights until the lapse of a still f urther period of six months. If this un righteous bill posses, the immigrant who arrived yesterday and those who have been five years in the country and made the pre liminary declaration will stand on precisely the same footing. By the proposed law, resi dence counts for nothing, if it was residence prior to the date of his application. No ap plication is to be regarded unless It was made to the clerk of a United States court, whereas all previous declarations of intention have been made to State courts. By the new law Hone of these declarations of intention could be regarded; and consequently, if it passes, there will be a total interruption of naturali zations for four years and six months. This is a villainous scheme for weakening the De- mooratio party in the next Presidential elec tion; a desperate manoeuvre to save the lie- Eublican party from its approaching doom. it succeeds, there will be no fresh naturali zations till the middle of the next Presiden tial term. The permanent operation of the bill will be almost equally obstructive. By restricting the authority to grant natu ralization papers to the Federal courts, it particularly denies the right to all except those who happen to reside in the immediate Vicinity of the very few places where such courts are held, and denies it even to a majority of those who have that ad vantage. There are in the United States nine circuit judges; and generally one district judge in each State, but in some of the larger Btates two. It is a sheer impossibility for so small a number of judges to attend to all the cases of naturalization, even if they were enoumbered with no other business. Naturalizations can be granted only in term time, and the person must apply at least twenty days before the beginning of the term or session of the Court. In every case, evidence must be heard, one or more wit nesses must be brought by the applicant and examined by the Court in relation to the facts and ciroumstanoes. And any person Who chooses to oome into the Court and orW pose the application id entitled to offer ooun-ter-testimony and produce a set of witnesses and have them examined. Each individual case mar thus be prolonged into a trial; and, with so small a number of courts, not a hun dredth port of the applications could be heard and decided. But the utter insufficiency of the judioial machinery provided for the transaction of the business is not the only, nor even the worst, means of obstruction contrived by the authors of this rascally bill. The distance which ap plicants would , be compelled to go to attend the court, and the expenses ana delay inci dent to the proceedings, would discourage and repel the greater number. Many of them would have to travel hundreds of miles. They are required not only to attend the court themselves, but each applicant for naturaliza tion must bring with him one or more wit nesses to swear to the truth of his statements. Each applicant is thus to be subjected to double or triple travelling expenses, double or triple tavern bills, double or triple loss of time and wages; for he must, of course, pay the expenses of his witnesses as well as his own. And then he can never know how long he may be detained at the distant seat of justice. - If the applicants should be nu merous, and the court choked with other business, the popr applicant might be de tained for weeks with his witnesses his tav ern bills growing, his wages stopped at home, his witnesses accumulating demands against lain for thoir loss of time. He would have to take his turn among the applicants, and be could never know beforehand that his turn would not come last. He could not even have any assurance that the overbur dened court would get through with all the applications at that session; and if it did not, bis loss of time, money, and patience would Lave to be incurred a second, and, for aught be could know, a third or a fourth time. Under such a law naturalization would be so troublesome, expensive, dilatory, and vexa tious, that few would apply for it; and this is the evident object for which this disgraceful, Booundrelly bill has been planned and con cocted. After having admitted all the stupid, igno rant, semi-barbarous negroes, iresn irom brutalizing slazery, to the eleotive franchise, thrt rriirviln are now encaeed in a plot to pre Vent intelligent white Europeans, who emi grate to these shores, from acquiring any of the rights of citizenship. The country ought to ring with cries of execration and remon strance against this odious bill to prevent. naturalization! : NEWSPAPER DIPLOMACY. Vrom the PmU MM Ocuttte. Although Lord John Russell has no claim to be recorded as a rrreat Foreign Minister, the six years d ruin or which he held that oflioe did, more than many longer periods to affix to the foreign policy of Great Britain the pecu liar and undesirable reputation which it now enjoys on the Continent. No reader of the introduction to the seleot despatches he has Just reprinted will be at any loss to aeoount toruuaiaoi. we ao not mean that there is much in this Sketon which is calculated to win both respect and UMnor for its author. The genuine love of freedom and what is perhaps rarer virtue in UDeral poutioious of justice which pervades it is extremely attractive. We may or may not agree with the writer s estimates of events, but we can THE DAILY EVENING TELEQR AFII PHILADELPHIA , TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1870. not doubt that they have been honestly and painfully formed; and formed, too, with re-1 lerence to a high standard of political moTality. But, notwithstanding these merits, Lord Russell's conception of his functions bh Foreign Booretary was radi cally wrong. The place he soems to have as-f-igned himself was that of an international jonrtiflliHt. Just as a newpaper writer makes it his business to criticise the oonduot of public men and their management of publio affairs. Lord Russell made it his business to give his opinion upon the acts of foreign Gov ernments without troubling himself to con sider whether he had any call or even any light to express it. "I do not believe," he says, ,lthot any English Foreign Minister who does his duty faithfully by his own country can in difficult circumstances escape the blame of foreign statesmen. When two parties are engaged in a violent con test against each other, and are both partly in the wrong," no one who is impartial can 'expect to please both litigants." It will be seen that underneath this resignation to In evitable failure lies the assumption that in the cirenmstanoes described it was incum bent upon the English Government to say something. It had to persuade, or remon strate, or offer advice; the one course which was not open to it was to remain silent. 'To be just," says Lord Russell, ,4is the first duty of a Government in foreign as well as in do mestic affairs." That it is its duty to pass judgment in some way he takes for granted. When we turn to the particular questions which presented themselves during Lord Russell s tenancy of the Foreign Office, we see the same postulate implied in his treatment of all of them. The first inquiry that suggested itself to his mind was never 'Shall I speak ?" but always "What ought I to say?" As we have said, his answer to this second question was the result of an honest effort to hold the balance even. In Lord Russell's mind the palatableness of a despatch was a very seoondary considera tion. He was pre-eminently what would be called in evangelical language an "awakening" minister. Unfortunately, the Governments with whom he had to correspond were little accustomed to admonitions written in this earnest style. Continental diplomatists do not often proffer advice or warning about matters which do not oonoern them. We may get some idea of tho light in which Lord Rus sell must have appeared to Prince Gortscha- koff or Count llechberg by imagining Lord Clarendon's feelings if the Russian or Aus trian Governments were to favor him with their opinion on the working of the Irish Church Act or with hints for the Irish Land Bill. It was thought strange tho other day when the Emperor Napoleon spoke of Eng land as doing justice to Ireland; but there is hardly a power in Europe which Lord Rus sell did not praise for doing justice, or chide for doing injustice, between 1851) and 18G5. It never seems to have entered his head that these comments might excite hopes or fears which his subsequent aotion would not justify A journalist's duties do not include the gift of material aid to those whose cause he espouses, or the infliction of material penalties on those whose conduct he condemns. There is another feature of Lord Russell's diplomacy which recalls the newspaper article. Those, who write on current politics are often apt to make their premises wider than their conclusions. They determine what shall be the aim of their remarks, and then they throw in a general principle or two just to add dig nity to the particular recommendation. Lord Russell framed his despatches in much the same way. To give a decision without stating his reasons, or to give the special reasons ap plicable to the case he had to decide on with out connecting them with wider considera tions, never satisfied him. Had he contented himself with the strict exercise of his func tions as minister, without passing into those of the moralist and lawgiver, uis despatches would have been less mischievous though less literary. But Lord Russell's passion for generalization led him to refer each of his acts to some universal law by which he sup posed it to be governed. It is no wonder, therefore, that the English Government was supposed to have pledged itself to a far more complete and coherent policy than Lord Russell at all intended to adopt. A. con spicuous instance of this is his answer to M. Thonvenel's proposal, in July, 18G0, that the commanders of the French and English fleets in the Mediterranean should be authorized to declare to General Garibaldi that they hod orders to prevent him from crossing from Sicily to the Neapolitan mainland. Lord Russell might have declined to join in such an intimation, either on the ground that he would do nothing to keep Fronoia II on the throne, or on the ground tnot, as Great Bri tain bad sympathized with the Italian revolm tion, she could not consistently oppose an expedition which she held to be an integral part of it, Instead of this, Lord Russell set to work to construot a theory which should cover all possible cases of the kind. He "informed M. de Persigny that if the navy, army, and people of Naples were attached to the King, Garibaldi would be de feated; if, on the contrary, thev were dis posed to. welcome Garibaldi, our interference would be an interference, in the internal affairs of the Neapolitan kingdom. . The Neapolitans ought to be the masters. either to rejeot or to receive Garibaldi." Stated in these general terms, Lord Russell's doctrine wouia involve acquiescence in any considerable filibustering expedition that miaht be devised. It is applicable to an in vnsion of Belgium by a French general, or of t urkey by a Russian general, acting without the authority but with the consent of their respective Governments.. It is nothing less than a disclaimer of all suaro in international police an announcement that, so for as Eng land is concerned, an adventurer who chooses to disturb the peace of Europe will only have to calculate, when he sits down to count the cost, what reception he may expect from the inhabitants of the particular territory he selects for the experiment; which, of course, is uy no means what bis lordship intended PROTECTION THE ISSUE. Frvm the H. Y. Tribune. The Sun persists in asserting that there are "ten or. twelve other Republicans" in the House, in. addition to thwse who voted for Marshall s anti-protective resolves, "who agreed with them in the main proposition, but preferred to get rid of it by an evasive vote.", We should not like to have people who agree with u vote that way. Mr. Marshall's proposition was straightforward and un equivocal. Its gist was the assertion that no higher duty should be levied on any article than , would produoe the largest amount of revenue from that article. It, for instanoe, $2 per ton on pig iron would produoe more revenue f row pig iron than $7 or f !), then $2 should be the rate, no matter how much the revenue might lose through the introduction of iron in this form that, under a higher duty, would come in as bor, roll, rod, or manufac tured iron. We cannot imagine why any one but a protectionist should vote to lay that proposition on the table. If any did so rote who believe in adjusting duties with an eye to revenue solely, the Sun is quite right in say ing that they lacked 'courage " But of whom wore they afraid t When the fifteenth amendment shall have beon eatiflod and proclaimed a part of the Federal Constitution, we hope that the great body of Northern Democrats and Southern ex-Rebels will cry, enough! and let the negro get out of politics. We shall insist that he be treated exactly like any one else. If he is honest, industrious, frugal, and tempe rate, he will got on; if he is vicions, indolent, prodigal, and drunken, he will go astern, just as that sort of white men do. If he receives a majority of votos for any office, he will of course take the office, though we don't approve of elect ing men to office on aeoount of their color, no matter what that oolor may be. If the blacks justify by their conduct the predic tions of their enemies, they will rapidly die out, and so amount to very little anyhow after a few years. We insist that they shall have a fair chance under just and equal laws, but we protest against any coddling or petting them. "Root, hog, or die!" is nature s stern requisition, and man cannot improve it. If the blacks should dream that they are to be somehow token care of, their ruin is in evitable. If, thorofore, the Democrats will consent that they be simply let alone, to fight the battle of life just like the rest of us, there Deed be no more political contention about them. And, as it is the clear interest of that party to stop the quarrel about negroes, which has no longer any rational pretext, we pre sume that strife is near its close. Does any one doubt that protection against free trade is the issue next in order ? Could all the politicians in the land avert it if they weuld '( Ah but, says the Sun, Home Republicans are not protectionists. Very well: if they leave the party on that aoconnt, we will supply their places with Democrats who are. Don't you see that this thing is as broad as it is long? We have recently had a Tobacconists' Con vention in this city, fierce for more protec tion on cigars than the $2 per pound and 2-" per cent, ad valorem allowed by Gene ral Schenck's bill. Nine-tenths of the tobac conists are Democrats; yet they tell us that their trade couldn't live under free trade. Do you fancy that they stand alone ? Here are thousands of tailors working for our city bosses, and earning much larger wages than are paid for just such work in Europe. Our representatives vote for Mar shall's principle that the duty on ready made clothing shall be fixed at that point which , will yield most revenue. That prin ciple would throw ten thousand tailors out of work here in two months, and reduce by one-half the wages of those that could still find employment. Can you imagine that the Eleventh and Seventeenth wards would give five to seven thousand Democratic majority, if Democracy were understood to mean twenty instead of fifty per cent. . duty on imported clothing? We shall be most happy to "divide the house" on that question. Messieurs of the bun your talk of a "high protective tariff" only serves to darken coun sel. Just let the free-traders embody their principle in a bill, and f whatever the imme diate result in Congress; we will go to the country, not on "glittering generalities," but on General Schenck's bill pitted against theirs. We challenge them to produce their bill, framed in consistency with their prin ciple, and appeal to the people thereon. We assert that they dare not commit their fate to the voting millions on any bill not spiced with protection. Watch them and see I THE METHODIST BOOK CONCERN MYSTERY. From the If. T. Sun. The more we ponder over and comnare the maj ority and minority reports of the Methodist Book Committee, respecting the frauds alleged to have been committed in the Book Concern in this city, the more mysterious does the affair become. Charges of mis management and peculation against certain employes of the Concern nave been pending before the publio lor some months past. Thev have been once examined into by the Book Committee, and declared to be in part well founded. But on a seoond investigation the majority of the same committee have re ported that "the careful sifting of the evi dence revealed not only the perfect innooence of the accused, but showed that the manage ment of the Concern hod been most praise worthy. This is as complete an acquittal as any man could desire; but unfortunately a minority of the committee make a report of a very different character, and one which in volves the subject in a maze of contradictions, difficult if not impossible to unravel. For example, while the majority say that the "perfect innocence" of the aoousod agents has been established, the minority produoe documentary evidence to the effeot that both Uoodenougn and 1'orter, tne men wno were intrusted with the duty of purchasing paper for the concern, made a very considerable profit by charging the concern a higher price than they paid, in the binding department, '0,000 worth of leather was paid for, but not accounted for, in the short space of twenty-one months, while $800 worth of glue t-hured the Bame late within nine months. These statements are certainly inconaistent with "the perfect innocence of the accused. Again, the majority report that the testi mony "not only failed to establish the exist ence of fraud, detaloation, or corruption, but likewise failed to sustain the allegation of losees." The minority, on the other hand. say that "nothing has come before ns during our present session to relieve our convictions of losses and mismanagement in the Book Concern." This assertion they book up by the facts already mentioned, proving that the Concern has been defrauded during the past few years of many thousands of dollars, whioh are certainly losses, and by the further fact that the head of the bindery has been allowed to appropriate as a perquisite, year after year, gold sweepings to tne amount ot Sfl200 an nually. The majority add that the Concern is "under such a system of checks and safe guards as guarantee security. But, if the minority are to be believed, there is no se curity whatever in the Concern s method of doing business. If an agont can buy paper at twenty-seven cents a pound and moke the Concern pay thirty-four cents a pound for it, and be held innocent of all blame, the secu rity against fraud and loss is certainly an illusory one. The gentlemen who have made the majority report doubtless flatter themselves that, whether it tells the truth or not, it will quiet the fears of the great body of Methodists in the country, and restore their confidence in the soundness of the concern. It may be, too, that they hold it to be their duty to screen their offending brethren from cen sure, even at the expense of the truth. But in either case they are grievously mistaken., These are no days for covering up and hiding crime, by whomsoever committed. If the investigation into the affairs of the Book Concern stops here,' the publio will inevita bly take -the view of the minority of the committee, so that ; considerations . both of policy and justice demand that the inquiry be continued till a satisfactory conclusion is arrived at. ADMIRAL FARRAOUT AND THE BOARD OF SURVEY. From the H. T. Time. The naval opinions of so distinguished a sailor as Admiral Farragut cannot fail to have great weight with Congress and the country; and it is, therefore, with rauoh pleasure that we refer to that portion of the Admiral s late letter to Mr. Robeson which ploads for a Board of Survey. ivro years ago a cry went np from the navy for the appointment of such a board; one year ago a bill was brought into Con gress for its establishment; and yot to-day we find the Navy Deportment has apparently discarded the project the House bill, which is well understood to have emanatod from the Naval Bureau, entirely ignoring it. This aotion, or rather this omission,- Admiral larragut regrets. He deolares himsolf in favor of a Board of Survey, which he would rather designate a 'MJoard of Admiralty, as more precisely describing the rank of the officers of whom he would desire to Bee it composed. The same, however, is perhaps a trifling matter, especially as the well-deserved odium into which the group of fossils that ordinarily compose a British "Board of Admiralty" have brought the latter phrase would make it desirable, perhaps, to prefer 4l,n tarm IRnnn IrAA v vt aa w Ui v v t But it was not, after all, an Admiralty Board proper that the country originally had in mind in calling for a Board of Naval Survey. What it desired was simply a board intelligent and skillful enough to avoid the repetition of the blunders in construction that hove dis graced the service if not ruined it. The errors and losses of eight years are past pray ing ior, out at icasi a .uoara ot survey, pro perly constituted and properly advised, might avoid similar losses and errors in the eight years to come. It may be replied 'that no such board is now necessary, because the peculiar theories of Messrs. Ishorwood and Welles no longer model our navies for us. But it is impossible to tell what may happen, ,i v iv- t a ? - ,i i Buu iud liucuoniujr iui wo uuuru in uie past was apparent. Is it credible, for example, that such an un broken series of blunders as the oonstruotion of the twonty light-draughts would be per mitted by a Board of Survey ? In the first place their planning was atrocious, and suffi cient alone to make them worthless. Yet the Navy Department was repeatedly remon strated with by high professional authorities and practical shipbuilders, on this very point, in ample season for alterations. In the seoond place, while these vessels were never designed to be sea-boots, three-fourths of them were built on the Atlantic coast, and many in the northerly yards on that coast. Not more than one-fourth could be used to advantage on the seaboard, and yet they were constructed in these localities, and without sea-going quali ties. Now we all know that these vessels after being built had to be rebuilt; and while the whole twenty originally were not to cost eight millions, they have now cost eleven mil lions, and would cost fourteen millions to complete them when they would probably do worimoss. Why need we, however, moke bo muoh of one minor instance of prodigality and igno rance or recklessness, when our entire war wooden screw fleet is full of engineering blunders? Mr. Kelley stated last winter to Congress, we think, in the course of an argu ment ior inis very measure oi establishing a Board of Survey, that scores of millions hod been thrown away in malconstruction during tne eignt years preceding. - amps were finished for cruising purposes, without soil power, requiring a constant expenditure of coal, even when on station duty in time of peace. Machinery was constructed on plans discarded by general consent of intelligent shipbuilders, requiring preposterous weight, bulk, and cost in proportion to the develop. ment of power. JNo less than fourteen sets of such engines were stored up, with no ships to put then in, while their total cose was be tween five and six million dollars. These and many similar facts roused publio atten tion lost year to the need of a Board of Sur vey, and they certainly have some weight now. BALLOTS AND BILLETS DOUX FOR THE MORMON WOMEN. From the If. Y. Uerald. The polygamio wives of Utah and the few women of Wyoming have reached the goal of sun rage for ahead of the freer and more mul titudinous women of New York and Massa chusetts. Brigham Young, by one bold stroke, has accomplished more than Miss Susan Anthony in fifty years. The telegraphio report informs us that the suffrage has been given to women in Utah, that the acting Governor has signed the bill, and that the women will rally in true election style at the polls in Salt Lake City. Brigham has recently been in unusual difficulty, and this, we presume, is his way out ot it. it is now merely a question of wives between him and the schismatics. The municipal eleotion will decide for the presont the fate of the schism whether the temporal power shall go into the hands of the disaffected Mormons or shall remain with Brigham. The matter is, therefore, one of votes, and, in view of the right of suf frage to women, becomes at once a qnestion of wives. If Brigham can secure his family vote intact he will make a good fight against the, combination of UentHes and schismotios; but if ho will take a leaf from the ward poll ticians of New York and vote Mrs. Young twice he will oome out with an overwhelming majority. All that is wanted is wisdom and wives, and Brigham has both. Of course we co on the hypothesis thot he has been married enough to know how to keep his better halves in obedienoe, and that if he says they must vote Young, thot Young they will vote. This hypothesis is sustained by the voice of the Mormon wives themselves in their reoent mass meeting, when they protested against Mr. Cullohi's bilL We may, then, safely assume that the great Mormon saint has Becured bis position for the present against the scbismatios, and will strengthen his works for the. battle against iftulom and Congress. One or two beautiful and touching coinoi dences occur to ns nere. xesterday was devoted to St, Valentine, the patron saint of lovers, and it is fitting that the multifarious women of Utah should send their little billets dour, in the shape of ballots, that they should testify their love and loyolty by their election eering, that tney snouia seal their vows with votes, and that they should give publio office with their private affections. These are love tokens better than rings, or caresses, or locks of hair, and are more suitable returns for the huge Valentine Brigham sends to all his sweethearts in the shape of suffrage. By another beautiful coinoidenoe, Miss Susan's fiftieth birthday comes the dnv after St. Valentines. ' She has elbowed her way through the crowding years up to fiftl without having to regret one siagle moment lost In nsolesa dijli'inoc or the small est atom' of i her heart thrown away upon stony-hearted man. She ought to Bend Brigham Young a glowing valentine "upon this occasion, congratulating him as the champion of the world in the mottot of female emancipation. If any tenderer emotion (mould thrill her bosom in contemplating the work of the great Young in bohalf of her sex, we beg her to let it thrill to its full ex tent. Let not "oonoealment, like a worm I' the bud, feed on her damask cheek.",. We can recommend Brigham as a good provider for his family, and, in view of his great po litical achievements, probably Miss Anthony could not do bettor. 8PEOIAL. NOTIGE8.
