The Sitreme Court this morning ordered that hereafter no naturalization papers shall be, granted by the judges sitting at Nui Privs. The effect of "this order will be to transfer the whole business of naturalization to the lower courts, where applicants for the honors of citizenship will be compelled to await their turn in the regular routine. The practice of the Sapreme Court judges sitting at Nii Prius for the express purpose of granting naturalization papers has been the occasion of a vast majority of the frauds that have been perpetrated, and if this order of the Supreme Court does not effect an en tire reform in the system of naturalization, it will at least serve to check many of the abuses that now exist. PEACE OR WAR IN EUROPE? Yesterday Europe was startled with a report that General Prim had yielded to the pres sure of the French Government and aban doned, on behalf of Spain, the candidature of Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern, but later in the day this was authoritatively contradicted, and the serious complication between Spain, Prussia, and France or, more properly speaking, between Prim, Bismarck, and Na poleon still exists. From Prussia comes a report that King William proposes to back out of the quarrel by declaring that Prince ' Leopold is not a member of the royal family, and that he cannot therefore be held re sponsible for his movements; from France it is rumored that the opposition to Prim's project strongly pervades unofficial circles, and that the Spanish Ambassador will receive his passports if the reply of his Government to the protests of France is not a favorable one; while from Madrid it is as serted that the Council of Ministers has unanimously approved the course of Prim and authoiized the presentation of Prince Leo pold's name to the Cortes, coupled with the assurance that three-fourths of the deputies ae favorable to his elevation to the vacant throne. In a few words, this is the substance of the long string of cable telegrams which reach us from all the leading capitals of Europe, show ing that, whatever may be the result, a crisis is at hand, with the chances of peace and war about evenly balanced. Meanwhile, Spain is in a most deplorable condition. A correspon dent of the New Yrk Times, writing from Madrid under date of June 21, thus sums up the lamentable state of affairs in that un happy country: "The political, financial, and social condition of Spain grows worse and worse. No one perceives in the horizon the faintest gleam of a brighter dawn. The crops, already diminished one-half by the drouth, are In danger of being lost altogether If we have no rain. The Treasury Ts weighed down with debt, and it is Impossible to collect the taxes." If Spain could enjoy the poor privilege of regulating her own affairs, without outside interference, there is little doubt that the se lection of Prince Leopold as King would be the most fortunate solution of her most pressing difficulty. He appears to possess, to a greater degree than any other candidate that has preceded him, the requisite qualifica tions for the throne, the insignificanoe of his past career, coupled with no glaring personal objections, being strongly in his favor. If any man could give peace and prosperity to the distracted peninsula, Prince Leopold Could do SO, provided only that Bismarck and Napoleon would consent to keep their hands off. But they will not so consent, and if he attempts to mount the throne, it will proba bly give rise to a destructive contest, th re sults of which it is impossible to divine. THE CASE OF PATRICK WOODS. 'J he House of Representatives has finally decided the case of Pat Woods, arrested for assaulting Mr. Porter of Virginia, by sen tencing that worthy to an imprison ment of three months. When this affair was iirst introduced in the House we commented upon' the inexpediency and impropriety of either bouse of Congress turning itself into a police court, and although we have been taken to task for this by some of our over-zenlou9 contemporaries, the de velopments of the case thus far have only confirmed our original opinion, that the House of Representatives has no lawful juris diction in the matter, and that the imprison ment of Woods by its order will be a danger ous precedent, against which every indepen dent journal in the country ought to enter an energetic and emphatio protest. So far as we can understand the affair, the difficulty between Porter and Woods ' in the streets of Richmond was nothing more than a drunken brawl, and the arguments advanced by the minority of the Judiciary Committee against any farther action on the part of the House are such as will command the respect of all law-abiding and law-respecting citizens. Tne minority 'gay that as the assault on Porter was not on aooount of words spoken in de bate, or on acoount ef Porter's official char acter or relations to Congress, Woods should be forthwith returned to the court at Rich mond, there to be dealt with according to law. The minority contend that members of Con gress have the same protection as all other citizens for their rights of person and pro perty, no more, no less, and that to give members of Congress a double protection over thatr enjoyed by other citizens would be 10 mane uem a pnvuegea ciass. Without entering at all into the merits of the difficulty between Mr. Porter and his RfcRailant, we are willing to presume that Woods fully deserves the punishment decreed by the House; but we also contend that the case is one for the polioe courts at Rich mond, and not for the National nouse of Representatives, whioh has no lawful juris diction. The business of Congress is to make the laws, and not to execute them, and the fx parte trial of this man by a committee of the House is without any proper form of law, and is a more outrageous violation of the law than that of whioh Woods is accused. Let those of our readers who may be dis posed to consider this a small matter, think for a moment what the consequences may be if the pretensions of the House are admitted in this instance. Any citizen may be arrested at any time on any kind of a charge and dragged before a committee, probably preju diced against him, which will act at once as judge, jury, and prosecutor. He will not be allowed counsel unless the committee chooses to grant him the privilege; he will be forced to testify against himself if the committee chooses to make him speak; he will be denied the privilege of cross-examination if the com mittee determines that the witnesses against him shall only testify in one way, and as the examination of witnesses will be regulated by none of the rules of a proper court of law, a general investigation into all the private affairs of the accusod may be gone into without his being permitted to even enter a protest. Such things as those have been done before now by Congressional com mittees, and the country has submitted in silence, because there always has been au apparently reasonable pretext for ordering an investigation. This case of Patrick Woods, however, is clearly one outside of the juris diction of Congress; it is a step farther than either the House or Senate has dared yet to go, and it affords a favorable opportunity far the people of the country to let Congress know that there have been more than enough of these star chamber inquisitions. If the principle asserted in the case of Patrick Woods is allowed, either house of Con gress may order the arrest of the newspaper correspondents who may happen to make un pleasant disclosures about the trans actions of the members; they can arrest and punish the editors who comment unfavorably on the sayings and doings of honorable Senators and Represen tatives, and they can arrest and punish citi zens of every degree upon charges that would not be listened to for a moment in any court of law. The irresponsible and vindic tive character of a judicial investigation by the House of Representatives was clearly shown in the debates on Wednesday and yesterday. The majority of the Judiciary Committee reported in favor of imprisoning Woods for three months in the jail of the District of Columbia, in the same manner as other criminals; but General Butler, who we believe is entitled to the dis tinction of being called the "champion in vestigator," moved as an amendment to this that the term of imprisonment be extended until the 4th of March next. If Woods were to be tried before a court of law, he would not only have an opportunity to de fend himself, but in case he were to be found guilty the statutes would define with exact ness the punishment due to his offense. Be fore the House of Representatives, however, there is no fate between the payment of a one dollar fine and death upon the gallows that may not be meted out to him. This ca68 is insignificant enough in itself, aud Woods, who seems to be a brutal ruffian, would probably have got no more than his deserts, even if the noose had adopted General Butler's amendment, but the principle involved is one that cannot be disregarded by the Amerioan peo ple with impunity, and the House of Repre sentatives ought not to be permitted to over ride the liberties even of this Richmond ruf fian without at least a protest from the inde pendent press. THE INCOME TAX. When the last motion made in the Senate to strike out of the Tax bill all sections relating to the income tax was lost by a tie vote of twenty-six to twenty-six, twenty Senators were absent, and of the twenty absentees it is alleged that fifteen would have voted to strike out if they had been present. This state ment indicates that, in a fall Senate, there is still a majority of ten, despite the sudden conversions in that body, against the imposi tion which has justly become so odious; and although the movement for its repeal has failed, there is a possibility that, in the final adjustment of the Tax bill by a committee of conference, and the subse quent action on their report by the Senate, the majority in that body against the income tax may be enabled to exercise its just degree of influence. An experience during the last ten years of nearly every form of taxation that the wit of man could devise has clearly established the fact that the income tax com bines in the greatest possible degree objec tionable and unjust characteristics, and that it is the very last mode that should, under any circumstances, be resorted to in a free country to raise revenue. Sen ators and members of Congress can not be blind to this fact, and when they ignore it on aooount of the preju dices or supposed interests of rural districts, or on account of the presumed popularity of a tax that falls nominally on comparatively rich classes alone, they disgrace their high positions and perpetrate a lamentable blunder. The republio should, above all other thiugf , be just to citizens of every degree to the rich as well as the poor. If Congress wta s to go back to absolutely barbarous principlt s of legislation, let it adopt the Mexican method of forced loans outright, aud sqneexe all the money it needs out of the coffers of the rich, leaving the poor go soot free. The income tax is founded on this principle, and if it is a just one, it may as well be carried out to its logical results. Every rational man knows, however, that such enormities of ad ministration as forced loans speedily react upon the laboring poor, with even more se verity than upon the bulk of rich men. When the possession or accumulation of capital is practically treated as a crime by the highest legislative authorities of a country, capital speedily avenges itself by concealing as far as possible its existence, or by seeking refuge in more enlightened nations, and the springs of industry, on which the employment and prosperity of the industrious depend, are ppeedily dried up, to the injury of the poor as well as the rich. Congress should vet re solve to do what is right on this question, casting buncombe considerations to the winds, and relying for future support upon the intelligence and pervading sense of jus tice and sound policy, rather than upon nar row local considerations or paltry prejudices. THE CURRENCY PILL. The Currency bill has at last assumed a shape in which it has proved, not exactly acceptable, but endurable to both houses of Congress. The report of the last conference committee was agreed to by the Senate on Wednesday, and yesterday the House gave its concurrence by a vote of KM) to 7G, so that the bill now goes to the President for his signature. It has encountered violent opposition in both houses, the friends of inflation declaring that it was a contraction measure, while the friends of contraction have asserted that it was a Bcheme for inflation. In its present shape it is acceptable to neither house, but its supporters were assured, by the near ap proach of the close of the session, that ii contained the best terms either house co?.ld extort from the other. The bill as passed finally is the same as the Senate measure, with the exception that the amount of new currency authorized by it is fixed at f:4, 000,000, instead of $4.".,000,000, the amount at first insisted upon by the upper house. The bill provides for the issuing of this amount of national bank notes, to be offset by the retirement of $45,000,000 of three per cent, certificates; for the redistribution of $ 2-),000,000, to be taken from the States which now have more than their fair quota of circulation; and for free banking on a gold basis, as authorized in the original Senate bill. The redistribution of the $25,000,000, however, is not to commence until the new issue of $54,000,000 has been absorbed by banks started in the Southern and Western States. This latter amount is to be appor tioned under the original banking act, accord ing to population on the basis of the census of 1800; but a redistribution is to take place on the completion of the census of 1870 a "most extraordinary" provision, as it was characterized by Senator Trumbull. But, as explained by Senator Sherman, it takes ninety days to organize a new bank, and before any new banks can get into operation the census of 1870 will be completed, and there will virtually be no distribution under the existing law. In framing the bill as passed, a desperate effort has been made to satisfy the clamors of the South and West for additional banking facili ties, without disturbing the actual volume of the currency, and with such success that its authors can say to the friends of inflation and contraction alike, as the showman said to the youth who could not distinguish the wax figure of George Washington from that of Judas Iscariot "Any ways you likes, my little man; you pays your money and you takes your choice." Common Council yesterday passed the ordi nance appropriating $70,000 for the exten sion of the insane department of the Alms house, and it is to be presumed that this im portant work will be commenced immediately and pushed forward as rapidly as possible. The present condition of this department is simply disgraceful, and it is manifestly im possible that the patients should receive that care and attention they are entitled to when, as was stated by Mr. Huhn yesterday, over seven hundred of them are confined in an apartment only sufficient to aooommodate about four hundred. It is estimated that the appropriation voted will give two hundred and twenty-five additional rooms, besides other accommodations. It is not creditable to a great and wealthy city like this that such a condition of affairs as now exists in the insane department of the Almshouse should be permitted under any circumstances, and we are glad that Councils have at length taken the proper action in the matter and made suitable provision for a class of pen sioners on the city's bounty who are every way worthy of the most benevolent care and protection. The honorary degree of Doctor of Philoso phy, conferred last week by the corporation of Lafayette College upon Dr. Thomas W. Evans, of Paris, is a well-deserved distinction, and recalls to many Philadelphiaua the com mencement of his career in this city more than twenty years ago. The promise he gave at such an early age, attested by the medal then awarded to him by the Franklin Insti tute, has been fully realized. His native talents and habits of untiring industry have placed him the front rank of European savans. The Doctor's numerous publications upon this country, especially his "Letters upon the Constitution of the United States" and his reports upon our Sanitary Commission; which have been so extensively circulated in Eu rope, show that he is as enthusiastic an American as ever, and we are Bure that he will value the recent literary distinction con ferred upon him by a leading university of his native State more than he does the various "oraers wiin wnicn ue nas been so pro f r.bely decorated by the sovereigns of Europe. OBITI'AKY. I'oiiiniodor Itobcrt Kltrhle. On Wednesday last Commodore Robert Ritchie, of the United States navy, died ut his residence, No. 1110 Pine street, in this city.
