PritutpEnenra,October 7th, 1868.-1119 Chest nut street—My Dear Brother: In the early part of the week ending on the 26th of September last, I beard casually that the number of naturaliza tions in Nisi Fritts was very large, and on Satur day I was informed that somersons were ar rested for naturalization frauds pe in that Court. This arrested my attention, and I wrote a note to my brother Sharswood, who was holding the court. suggesting certain regulations, which were adopted by the courts in the city of New York,giving facilities to any citizen to know who was naturalized on the preceding day, his rest dcnce,and the name and residence of his voucher or witness. The suggestion was only partially adopted. , • • , • - • On Monday, the 28th, it was stated to me that 720 persons had been naturalized on that day. and that there was strong suspicion of fraud. That evening I wrote and had delivered to the Prothonotary a note, requesting him to give me the number naturalized oti each day In Septem ber, including the 28th. The next morning 1 called•on brother Sharswood, and, finding his views were so different from mine, I wrote hint a letter, which was -delivered to him before one o'clock of that day, a copy of which is annexed to this note,marked (A.) Complaints being made that all access to the naturalization papers or records was refused to respectable citizens, on the next day (having re , elved from the Prothonotary the list I had asked for) I wrote another letter to my brother sharsvrood, a copy of which is annexed, marked (B.) I u the proceeding before Alderman Beitler,Col. Spoirdenttestified: 'His duty was to attach his malo-the papers when brought to him by the opstaves of the Court. and be admitted that his name might possibly be, attached to them without weir having been sworn to." The crier of the Nisi Pries said: "I or Mr Schell swear the peti tioncrs or vouchers, but do not mark the papers Fo that we can recognize them; I have whale's t.red within the last ten 'days from two to four thousand oaths." One of the persons natural ized. named Hunninger, swore: "I was in the rebel army from 1862 to 1895; Schnitzel asked me Low long I bad been in the country, and 1 told hint; he asked me if I had any citizen paper, and I said no,and he said I could get it without much oat: we went to Nos. 495 and 497 North Third street, to a Democratic Committee; he put his name to a paper and paid ten cents, and got a ticket: we tin* cattle to the Court; Schnitzel also swore to Gemire Meinich; he said taking an oath was nothing; at Lerlrfeldes be said, I can swear fifty times for a glass of beer." Another naturalized person named. Mullock said: "I am forty-two years old; have been at Leckfeldt's fourteen nays; I came therefrom New York. A man named Snyder swore ! resided there over one year. Immedtately before I made the application. I never saw him before, nor have I seen him since." , During the September Nisi Prins six thousand end eighteen persons were naturalized, of whom two thousand eight hundred and seventy-two were nattiralized during the last week. See paper appended, marked (C). The opportunities for fraud are therefore vast ly multiplied by this practice of lightning speed in creating citizens, many of whom understand English very imperfectly. The natural conse quence is that frauds are committed in the pro (A-ES of naturalization, and papers are afloat n hich are believed to be forgeries, but are so well executed that the Prothonotary cannot say pos itively that it is not his own name. It ie. ther fore,clearly the duty of the Prothon otary to f.rret out these frauds by every means in his pot, er, and by giving free access to all re .spectatoe citizens to examine the naturalization rt cords and papers, in order to assist in their detection. The Prothonotary of the highest tri bunal in the State should not avail himself of any technical objection, but throw the whole open to a searching examination—nothing else will sat isfy the community. Applications directly and indirectly were made to me to interfere personally, which I. of coarse, declined to do, having no power to control in any way the judge regularly assi,gned,to hold the Court of Nisi Prins. L however, thought it pro per under all the circumstances to telegraph Judge Agnew, and Judge Williame, who was at tending his sick wife in the interior of New York, to come to Philadelphia, which they did. Judge Agnew arrived on Saturday and Judge Williams on Sunday morning, bat we did not meet until Monday. After a careful examination of the Acts of As sembly we were unable to discover any authority to convene a special session of the Supreme Court. he Court in Lam having risen in July last, a ithout an order of adjournment, its next meet ing, as prescribed by law, will beat Pittsburgh on the third Monday of the month. The Judges having been regularly assigned for September and October, we of course had no right to interfere with them. Judge Williams not having taken the oath of office, for reasons which, when_tnade known, will be perfectly satisfactory to the community, his opinion is not (like that of Judge Agnew and myself) an opinion of a full Judge of the Court. We all three regard the practice of naturaliza tion pursued in the Nisi Prins, however old or by whatever Judges sanctioned, as contrary to the plain words of the acts of Congress, and is there fore illegal. Naturalization is a judicial act, and the exami nation.of the applicant and his witness or voucher should be conducted by the Judge himself. This was the practice of Judge Agnew when a President , Judge, and is the uniform practice of the District Court of the county of Alle gheny. This will be the opinion of a majority of the Judges of the Supreme Court whenever Judge Williams takes the oath of office. I should not have intruded upon you my opinions, or those of Judges Agnew and Wil liams, were it not necessary that they should be known to you and brother Sharswood, and through you to the community. You will oblige me greatly by having this read in open Court. I am very truly yours, Joitx M. READ. To Honorable James Thompson, chief Justice of the Supreme Court. • • • I A.

My Dear Brother: I hope and trust every facility will be given to respectable citizens to examine and take memoranda . of the naturaliza tion papers in our Court. I understand this is the practice in every other Court in the county. The public have a deep interest in knowing whom the Courts aro daily making voters, and they are entitled to the knowledge. Every other body concerned in giving qualifications to citi zens to entitle them to vote are obliged to do it openly and to make it public. H, ow much greater, then, is the duty imposed upon a judicial tribunal, the highest in the State, which is creating citizens; to let all its proceed ings be known to all its fellovr.citizensiv In New York evert citizen can know the names and residences, and the name of the wit ness, of all persons naturalized the preceding day in all the courts of the city. • The number natur alized. and the number rejected by the court upon examination, are given. These matters are all published daily in cer tainly one, if not more, of the publie journals of that city. In a Republican form of Government alljadi cial proceedings, particularly the creation of cit izens should be made known to the whole com munity, and this cannot be done if the court will not do it, nor allow any person access to its rec ords in order to do it.

After the publication of this proclamationit is forbidden to hold meetings in the public streets or public places, or for groups, of whatever nuni ber of persons composed, to assemble. Govern ment officials are directed, with the greatest po liteness but with the greatest firmness, to see that only passengers shall be in the streets. Every person who shall resist the injunction of the authorities or the orders of the officials to move on will inevitably be arrested and placed at my disposal. 2. On the alarm signal being given, which will be a cannon shot fired by my orders, all the In habitants who wish to avoid the'consequences of their curiosity or Indifference must retire to their houses if they would not be treated 'as enemies by the Madrid troops. I have always had respect for those opinions which do not take the form of armed hostility, and I have the right to demand that you shall respect the present dispositions, which are dictated by my duty. In Catalonia where public order has been dis turbed, I have invariably re-established it; never theless, I believe I enjoy the esteem of the indus trious inhabitants, who appreciated the stern de mands of duty, even as I on my part appreciated ghod and peaceful intentions even in my adversa ries. That is again my mission,, and I rely upon ex periencing a similar satisfaction In your case, assured, as yon ought to be, that should public order be disturbed, Iwill immediately re-establish it. MA:slum, Carrigan= DE LA. CONCHA. Queen Isabella Receives the News, (From the Gazette de France of Sept. 22 The news reached the Queen at Ban ;Sebastian on the evening of the 18th, and was soon spread through the town; the inhabitants were observed to hasten to remove the flags and streamers with which.their houses had been decked. On the fol lowing day the colors which had hung from the windows were very rare. As soon as Queen Isabella was informed of those events she convoked the Ministers in a council, and their deliberations lasted until four in the morning. Before the opening of the pro ceedings the Queen had said to M. Gonzales Bravo, "In the present circumstances I require a General." That remark was equivalent to asking, him to give in his resignation. He understood it as such; and the Ministers appear to hive im mediately occupied themselves with the choice of their successors. Indeed, at 1 o'clock they sent to the palace for Marshal Concha, Marquis de la Havana, on behalf of the Queen, to ask him to form a Cabi net. The General accepted the charge; but on condition that certain persons, especially M. Mar fori, chief majondomo, should be removed from the palace. On the morning of the 19th the Marquisleftfor - Madrid - wittr M Baiduwho had resigned the 'Department of Marine.

(nom Le Wel% Sept. 2/3 • The coup de main at Cadiz was executed with a promptitude and decision which does much honor to Admiral Topete. It is he, as we have said. who commanded the Iron-plated squadron in the roads off St. Fernando, which is the arse nal and advanced port _of Cadiz. It had, been. .previously agreed as soon as. the Generals who were eiNeted from Lon don and the Canary Islands arrived, they should. bo received on board the ships of the squadrOn, and that then, being fully prepared to bombard the town, the Admiral should earn/non the Gov ernor to surrender the city. This is exactly what tookplace: On the 17th at the break of day, the four frigates In the port, the Zingaro, we Tetuan, the Ville de Madrid, and Isabella 11, wooden ships of the line, prepared for action. The two battalions of marines, forming part of the garrison, supported this movement. One of them took up a position on the Cortoduro,or road way, which connects the rock of Cadiz with the land: the other battalion occupied the station of the Xeres Railway, and thus made themselves masters of the communication with Seville. . It is stated that the Governor,with much indignation. refused to negotiate,bnt, on observing the state of things around bim, he saw plainly unit the sol diers were hesitating how to act. Two bombs fired upon the town, one after the other, sufficiently monstrated the intention of the insurgents,and the Governor yielded. The taking of Cadiz formed only; ono part of the plan agreed upon between the Generals. The result of the other enterprises to be undertaken in, other parts of the territory was awaited with much anxiety. It was very soon learnt that. Gen. Ezqulerdo had caused a rising in Seville and nearly the whole of Andalucia; that Baldrich, having arrived from Paris, had penetrated into Catalonia, and that menty had entered Aragon by the valler of Aran. As will be seen, there's here an iron circle formed around the monarchy of Isabella, and which, if the fates are propitious. will go on con tracting in circumference toward the centre until it approaches the throne and destroys it. French Assault on the Bourbons, the Queen and the Priests. From the Paris Slecle, Sept. 24.3 Where now is Sister Patrocinio? Of what use hes been the fact of the Pope's sending to Isa bi the golden rose, the emblem of virtue? What? Spain is Catholic; she hasloo,ooo monks, bishops and priests innumerable, and revolution penetrates there as -in heretic countries. The fact is incredible. and the Queen did not at first believe it; but the Intelligence arrived more and more alarming, and the reality forced itself to be at last credited. In these preme moments crowned heads become flexible as reeds. Her Majesty, so haughty and sto im petuous, is now softened, and willingly or un willingly agrees to act. The ministry must be changed, she is told, and at once she charges Marshal Concha to form a new Cabinet. It is in that way that occasions in extremis always com mence. The programme of the revolntionis Der fectly clear; it, proclaims the deposition of - the Bourbon dynasty, and thus utterly destroys the hopes of Don Carlos as well as those of the In fanta Maria Louisa, good and honest relatives who ardently covet the succession of Isabella, and would ask for nothing better than to fish np a crown out of . troubled waters. Afterwards a pro 'visional government is to be substituted and a constituent assembly convoked, which should decide finally on the destinies of Spain. This scheme is a prudent one. ' and we hope that all sensible men, all good citizens on the other side of Lhe Pyrenees who love their country will sup port it. It is the doctrine of the Spanish revolu tion, of the national-sovereignty ; and we repeat that if it is not execnted to-day it will be to morrow. The force of things is what proclaims and wills it, and not we. The peninsula has two great faults :—First, the monks, an intolerant clergy, who carefully cherish ignorance, fanati cism and the most ridiculous superstitions; se cond, an unbridled soldiery without any counter poise. These must absolutely be cured or the patient will, die. , But nations do not expire with their owu consent. As to the Bourbon monarchy, it is struck to the heart, and we sincerely hope that the present movement will rid the pen - Instils of it. This first step will be de cisive. The -principal obstacle will be overthrown. The reaction of wnich the centre is at Rome had three headquarters—`Vienna, Naples and Mad rid. The first'has burst;its bonds; the second threw itself kith the arms of Garibaldi,. and the third is now. gOing to emancipate Itstlffrom its long slavery. [Parts (Sept. 24) Correspondence of the London Tirace.] Failing any likely and popular candidate for the throne that is expected presently to be empty, the Electors of the revolution propose an appeal to the nation, and the election of a constituent Cortes to deliberate as to the nature and forma tion of the new government. M. de Girardin, vi) is always ready with advice, even to those v‘ho neither seek It nor would value it, suggests that Spain should take a hint from an amend ment proposed in the French National Assembly 9n the 7th of October, 18stel,- by M. Grevy,to the effect that the Assembly should delegate the, execntivepower to a citizen. who should receive the title of President ofthe Council of Ministers, and who should be elected for an unlimited time, but should be always liable to be deposed by an other vote• of the Chamber. Had the GrOvv amendment, he says, been adopted, France would have enjoyed all the advantages of a constatu tional government without the superfluity of royalty or of a President of the republic. He ad vises the chiefs of the present revolution, should it succeed, to convoke the ordinary Cortes, and let them elect, by secret voting and by the ma jority of s y ffrages, dyresident of the Council of :M inisters. Concerning French intervention. [From le Journal dee Debate. Sept. M.] We have been touch surprised to see a large number of. English papers hastening to protest beforehand against any species of intervention in Spanish affairs. • Frivace is the only Power that could possibly interfere. Now, France has too loudly; proclaimed the principles of nationalities to think of preventing the Spaniards from choosing such form of government as may please them, or from in trusting to whom they please the di ffi cult task of governing them. We did once forget the respect due to every nation's will, and we had no reason to congratulate ourselves upon having done so. Nobody in Fralice, we are fully persuaded, wilt conceive the unlucky idea of' sending to Spain the soldiers that, have only Just, returned from Mexico.'

He told his, audience in Leeds the other night that England and Americo, were the same in religton'and institutions, and in one country, and that his reception in England would satisfy Americans that peace between England and the United States would endure - for ever. After this pronouncement on the part of her minister America had better cancel the aistory and the constitution she teaches in her common schools and at once order a se ries of tracts for their use, in which monarchial. government, a heavy civil list, an aristocracy of hereditary drones, an alliance between Church and State, 'a bloated army and navy, the exclu sion of citizens from the right to carry arms, the drain of absenteeism and a rent-paying system of land tenure will be set forth as the institutions of the country which Washington and his com panions, aided by a liberty-loving peoPle, res cued from English thrrtidnin. F 33 glish Opinion es tuella-Klux-Klan. The Pall Mall Gazette save: • It would be impossibleto imagine anything less calculated to assist the people of the Southern States through their difficulties than the s pread of the organization known as the Su-Klux-Klan. It Is now some mouths ago since this secret so ciety first became notorious, and It has ever since been rapidly extending, until now an ex-con federate General is reported to have boasted that a considerable army is enrolled in it. This may be an exaggeration on the part of the General, or a mere invention of his political antagonists. bat there cannot be a doubt that the lin-Klux-Klan is powerful enough to give great trouble Co more than one local Government. The idea of those who join It appears to be that by terrifying the negroes and narassirig the Government something may yet be done for the South. If that something means independence,a wilder dream never led an impulsive people to, ruin. The Northern people are not likely to be put to the least inconvenience by a number of - firc-eaters" meeting in the dark and occasion ally sallying forth to burn the houses of uegroes. But the conspiracy is a grievous injury to the Southern people, for it lays them under a fresh ban, it affords a justification for measures of re newed severity towards them, and it fatally re tards their recovery from the losses inflicted by tour years of war. The United States and Mexico. The London Mitt.loellellVß there could oe noth ing better for the Mexicans or for the world than that the c.metry should be absorbed in the Ameri can Union. Other destinies might have been as favorable, but the A.merie.ans would allow no other destinies to be accomplished. The question is how even this consummation is to be realized. More than half the population of Mexico is of In dian blood; more than half of the remainder of mixed blood. Perhaps, out of the eight millions of inhabitants, at least seven Millions are "colored persons." It is said, indeed, that in the States of Central America the colored races have recently increased in number, while the white race has declined, and atin stranger stories are afloat about Indian opinion. The natives are supposed to be expecting to recover their ascendnacy; they are I resting with extreme respect the descendants of their ancient princes, and evensacrificing again to their ancient idols. A restoration, in fact, of the .old heathen monarchies is anticipated, not by any forcible !evolution, but by the spontaneous decay and extinction of the conquering race. Whether any such ideas have found their way to 'hose millions who in Mexies still speak the lan ,,nage of the Aztecs, we cannot say, but Juarez himself is a man of pure Indian blood, and unless :-(Aue of his supporters or enemies are Indians it is hard to imagine where they all come from. In a short time, however, probably be fore the presidential election, we shall hear more of the nege,Liations or projects alleged,to be on foot. A Deaf and Dumb Congress. The Pall Mall Gazette says Among the many "Lungresses" taut met in the course of tale month all over the Continent, there is one which deserves especial notice, viz.: the Congress of the Deaf and Dumb that held its meetings in Berlin. The principal object of their discussion was the desirability of finding a substitute for their present • `finger language." The meetings went off very pleasantly, and after the day's work the members used to. congregate at some social "Methane" for a pleasant, though inaudible chat. Reduction of the French Army. There is some reason to believe that the report of a_p_ro_posed temporary reduction of the French army is correct. it Is stated on good authority , that directly the Emperor received the news of the second speech of the King of Prussia at Kiel, he despatched orders to the War Office in Paris, to make the necessary preparations for sending, on furlough from 70,000 to 80,000 men. This is to be done after the dissolution of the camps at Chalons' and Lannemeaan. It is added that the furlough will only be giveh to such soldiers as can furnish satisfactory, evidence of their being able to maintain themselves duripg the winter, either by obtaining employment or out of their private means. The Isussiain Clergy. As a sign of progress, among many others to the contrary, the Petersburg papers report the gradual abolition of the "hereditary clergy." It appears that up to within a recent period every clergyman was forced to send his son to clerical schools and seminaries, to educate him, in fact, for the Church, whether he liked it or not. This. institution of a clerical caste is now about to be abolished, to the great relief of everybody con cerned. French Opinion of the Chinese falls- L' Arnge Illustree of Paris, in its edition of September 24th, gives a portrait of Mr. Anson Burlingame, with extracts from several English papers, and adds the following paragraph: However the case may 'be, it is certain the Chinese - Embassy will be excellently received in Fr - al - ice; by - the people generally;Va . also in official circles, which tact will tend to hattuence the tenor of the treaty that Mr. Bur lingame intends proposing to the Imperial gov ernment.
