THE NEW NATURALIZATION BILL.
From the N. T. World.
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

the writer s estimates of events, but we can

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.
