FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1870. .
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.
