REV POBLICATfOrnh. J , 0 "Aarnocite (1 1V32V...Y01A5. " tl Sensational writing is no 10:!. vet's hard after all. By the simptliftt2ppelgion" of police-court record a, together with a privileged access to some reporter's memoranda and pigeon-holes, and much study of the criminal newspapers,: thesubject-matter "is ostained confeutpOTatteouslpwith the taste for; feeding on it. The mental epidermis becomes excited and prurient, and nothing will allay, ts irrita tion but fregh contact with the exciting mat ter:. In - : this• state of mind the eacocates scribendi becomes the discharge for, all the accumulated humors. The man has worked himself into a Mania, and relishes and believes what he writes. From the book thus pro duced we learn that men and women, if not merely players, are merely liars. That family Ldelity is a dream of the past. That gen tlemen divide their time between gambling and horse racing, and ladies between the .fashionable fortune-teller and the fashionable abortionist. To a writer of this sort the sight of ordinary life is death to his profession. Suppose the, night has worn out in his feverish toil, and he ,finds himself sur prised by the White light of 'day; he leaves the streaming flame of his lamp, he leans out of the yellow light into the: street; over the bustling life of the ordinary morning; peace able, honest,, unromantic men are moving doWn to their hilliness; plain, happy mothers are kissing their children as they go to school; clerks walk lowa the street' with sisters or sweethearts; none of thele people seem to belong to the life of sensationalism, all look humdrum, decent, and sober: our author feels as if his book' was , growing sickly and unreal beneath his hand—he must close the shutter ! For the successful prose cution of spasmodic writing, Much gaslight, much study of modern reporting, a felicitous blindness, and a severe self-discipline in emotional credulity, are necessary. This peculiar management of the emotions to - profit is much`more neatly done in France than with us ; a Gallic writer can float him self, with Much greater address and for a much longer time, into that quasi stratum of belief which is sincere enough to impart a warmth to the style, while it does not pre vent, for the writing of the coming month, the throwing one's self with equal relish and self-deception into the opposite conviction. Now that the flaming American toilette has become one of the attractions of the Bois de Boulogne, the Parisians are willing to hear something about the United States. The feuilletoniste leaps to their assistance. Somebody who knows all about America—at least who has read and clipped tons:of Ameri can newspapers—starts up and writes "As ?melee a New-York." Henri Plon pub lishes the farrago in a magnificent volume of five hundred pages, (you may get it of Chris tern, the Broadway importer,) and behold a live, fortunate, victorious Paris sensation in full feather The writer, to thread his stories together, has no newer device"at hand than the resusci tation of "Le Diable Boiteux." This racy creation of Le Sage has had, for a whole century, some peculiar charm for the French race; less sombre than the Alephisto of Ger many, who makes you think, Asmodeus only bids you see. He inhabits the domain, so peculiarly French, of satire, keen insight, superficial blame; he never rises into moralizing, never dips into the sardonic; he flies, sees all, and, laughs. When this book was in preparation, Asmodeus, the crutched imp, the devil on two sticks, had just lifted every roof in Paris, and allowed people to see, on the stage of the Chatelet Theatre, the events and scandals of a year. Asmodeus now, leaping from the handsome covers of this volume, as he leaped from the bottle of Le Sage's magician a century ago, skims over to New York, whips off the American shingles as easily as he had done the tiles of Paris or Seville, and permits his French audience to see a New York drama which very few Ame ricans will recognize as verisemblable. Asmodeus, like the tempter in Faust, en ters the chamber of the author, who has just arrived in New York, and, telling of the profitable speculation he had been to Le Sage in the last century, suggests to the needy traveler to put him into the market once more, and see if he will prove as profitable in the present generation as he was in the time of our forefathers. He becomes the stranger's cicerone. He successively introduces him to thelouses of rich and poor; shows him the theatres, the club houses, the prisons ; and in an excursion of six days, devoted to various explorations, professes to unveil the actual life, manners and follies of the new world. The life thus unmasked does not suffer from Sameness of feature. Asmodeus does not for get,the condiments in serving his dishes. A feTk'American scandals that all the world knows are introduced, to obtain credit it may for the rest; we have of course the_story of the New York belle who married-tier groom, and the story of poor Mrs. Eaton who married Bourganatd. But who is the Mrs. Killer, who inhabits a palace where she reduces the families of New Yfirk aristocrats to the pro portion desired, who receives guests in "a crown of diamonds," whose parlor window shades, thirty in number, were painted •by "our best artists" at a thousand dollars apiece, and whose guests have the easy social habit of hiterrupting each -other at the piano by saying, "I wonder how you can sing in a house where you brought to an untimely death an innocent being?" Who is her husband, the "Dr. Down ward" of 4 Armadale,' re-christened with an Americanism and called Dr. Bungling, who is a diplomaZ scholar, but who shares Mrs. Killer's fatal bed and profession? Who is Crazy, the young Irish oil-prince, who spent half a million during a short stay in Phila delphia. hiring the whole of "one of the niosVelegant and spacious hotels," present ing a passing Western regiment with a thou sand-baskets of champagne, and afterwards emplqing a theatrical troop to play to him self and cronies? Who are the one hundred and` seventeen_ devotes of "suicide after Lhe .American fashion," who have re .`g—]p swallowed a gallon of whisky 4:day,- - tis a slow and congenial means of self -7-dt-ifktetifirrafter the' 'disappointments of life? - Who is thetauthoreos of "one of the most at tractive ndirala or the day," at present im prisoned Of aninsane asylum by her unnatural biothera, tecauseher father left her a fortune of a hundred, thousand? Who is her com panion, the brilliant. newspaper-man, whose faculty "for writing leaders deserts him the moment he leaves the hospital? Why does justice not advertise the addressee of the IMIIIIIIIIIIIIMI/1111111 drzei binetitiE . knc;iin to '`the poliee,,where New Yorkers' may. , purchase s , counterteit bankiptes it a discorint or thirtyto fifty per cent?: Or that of the fortune-teller in,blaCk velvet;' - :whose' servants are in livery;tand whoie shrine is provided 'with ipertines at which her confidants can be secreted to peep and listen ? Why do we know so little of that elegant companion; the • young - foreigner who is at the same time an Englishman and a younger brother of the (Scotch) Earl of Stir ling, and whose lordly abilities are so profita bly devoted to, the kinchin lay in Broadway ? .Who is the girlish-looking dandy who once sent up a quantity of American gold eagles , to Nova Scotia to be melted and stamped as bul lion, and on the basis of these specimens started the Nova Scotia Gold Mine Com pany? Who among us has had the satisfac tion of giving a penny to the MarquiC de Limbaudßres, who has a mania for begging on the street-corners of New York? Thesis acts into which Asmodeus divides his drama terminate with tableaux of cor responding chiaroscuro. Each finishes with a panic among the dramatis persona; which is so unheard-of, so thrilling, so murderous, that the reader's hair stands on end. The day which' winds up with a fire-- : •precipitates a faintly into an ocean of ilithes. 'The morn ing which is passed in the city-council cham ber—terminates with 'a square fight among the u diles,,iui which inkstands are presently discarded in' favor of revolvers. The evening - 'at the gambling-salon—dis perses the participants after a little scene of quarreling and murder. The dity which is dedicated to feting the Asi atiC ambassadors only giVes birth to an acci dent so slight that, among the other situa tions, it produces all the exhilarating effect of the thumping legacy in the ordinary drama— the hero only loses his "n:Liontre-breguet" at the hands (or fingers) of the elegant pick pocket, Lord Stirling. The supply or highly spiced concluding-scenes is not, however, exhausted. At the hospital clinic, the pro fessor, when about to dissect, falls upon the body of - , the "subject," declaring it to be his, long-lost lady-love. The seance of the dignified black-velvet for tune-teller is hardly over when her two children, by a touching infantile ca price, drown themselves, or burn themselves, in a ferry-boat whose furnaces are fed with turpentine. The last soiree, however, con cludes with an anti-climax. The party given by the "famine de Bourbon" terminates with out violence, and Asmodeus, probably dis gusted with the growing tameness of Ameri can life, goes to China, to "assist" at the fall of the empire "fonds par Confucius"(!) flere Asmodeus evidently hopes to lave his By limbs in a bath of blood. "Quel tap_ age," he cries, "fera l'6croulement d'un pareil edifice! Je veux etre if et je pars." For our part, we wonder what underling of the petite presse of Paris or New York had the impudence to paste these Police-Ga zette paragraphs together as a description of American life. The tone of the book forbids us to consider him an honorable delineator, while his unquestionable familiarity with our scandals denies him the refuge of an ignorant one. We wish would quit the business of literature, and take to that of the shoe-brush, whose availability for the sudden creation of blacklegs, for lickspittle service, for darken ing the standing of honest men, as well as its capacity for dazzling effects and perspective of unlimited street-fighting, would recom mend it so heartily to his tastes. It is said that the New York Herald is in possession of the name and confidence of the author, a rumor we are much inclined to believe. A rather awkward translation, crowded with Gallicisms, but creditable if the report is true which assigns it to the origins French writer, has been issued in a cheap paper form by Longchamp & Co. It is a comfort that, while the original is commend ed by type, style and publishers' arts to the upper classes of the community, its appear ance in English is so vulgar that it will only get into the hands of those who have read its principal chapters before, in M r . George Mat sell's popular journal. `.`x ';THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILAD The Petersons deserve credit for their pub lication or a little library especially adapted to lady readers, the selections being of an elevated and intellectual grade. When we name Mrs. Craik's (then Miss Muloch) agree able essay of a few years back,"A Woman's Thoughts about Women," and -Miss Bre mer's "Life in the Old World," we name works whose place is taken, and whose pop ularity is in proportion to the intelligence and right feeling of the world of female read ers. These excellent works are issued by Messrs. Peterson in a solid form, covered with a plain, dark and rather rich binding which really adorns the book shelf. Mrs. Craik's book is in one volume of three hun dred pages : Miss Bremer's European impres sions, more garrulous, occupy two tomes of somewhat greater thickness. T. B. Peterson & Brothers have nearly ready for publication a new work by Mrs. Southworth, entitled "Fair Play;" a new work by Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, entitled "Mabel's Mistake;" a new work by Mrs. Henry Wood, entitled "The Red Court Farm;" "The Last Athenian," a translation from the Swedish of Victor Rydberg; "Twelve Months of Matrimony," by Emile Corlen; "The Whit& Trapper," by Gustave Aimard; "Across he Atlantic," by Dr. Charles A. Haeseler; "The Blue-Eyed Witch, or, Not a Friend in the World," by Peirce Egan, and "La Beata," by T. A. Trollope. JPIINDON STREET MUSIC. Itinerant Musicians and Kindred Nuisances. There is enough of what is called "street music" in New York_to afflict the souls of all lovers of silence, and even of the lovers of harmony, but it seems what we have to en dure in this way is nothing to the hideous• and constant recurrence of discords to which the citizens of London are victims. Read, forexample, the following _extracts from the diary of a late sojourner in the English me tropolis: • "Business lately called me to London for a week; a consideration connected with its facile transaction led me to take'up my resi dence in one of the streets branching south ward from the, Strand to the river; a quiet street to all appearance—a highly respectable street, a street through which ran no omnibus and into which no cab or other vehicle ever Penetrated, unless to set down or take up a fare, or to deliver the goods duly ordered. I had not been three hours within these peace able precincts before I discovered that the transaction of business in this respectable street was simply impossible; that I had been deceived by false appearanees,and that as a re sidence it was a very Pandemonium of discords and evil sounds from daylight until long after dark. The lodgers in every house—for it is a street-of private hotels and "apartments to letr—ipPeared to be, likAsi lel4 peo e who but .who, me, were idle, and fond of 46) amusement to be extracted•out of street mttslc and street ex hibitiona,_ One particular day,bohlg.detained at bonm'against my will,_thelhoughtrneek me.to note down, from heart° hour, the arri val and departure of theselmigatmes, the na ture of the torment they inflicted, and the en couragement or discouragement.wbleh they, received from the lazy, the silly or the gener ous inhabitants. The day was not an excep tional one,as I was informed by my landlady, but a fair sample of every day in the year. DOURLY NUISANCES "Half-palit eiglit.-=Sittine down to - break fast and the Times, I hear a sudden and ob streperous outburst of brazen instruments which makes me literally start to my feet and rush to the window to see , what is the matter. It is a German band of twelve per formers, all well dressed in uniform, and wearing each a semi-military cap. . They set up their music stands in the street, and play from printed and manuscriptmusic. Their performances consist of overtures and pieces from popular operas, very excellently ren dered. lam told that they are hired by one family to perform twice a, week before the door, and that they supplement tb gratuity or payment which they may reeeive f'or this service by such smaller contributions as they can collect elsewhere. . _ ... "Nino o'clock.—A bulky Savoyaril, ugly as a baboon, and as 'dirty, With 'a barrel organ. He grinds Patent .poUr la Syrie, Not for Joseph, and Champagne Charlie. His tunes are such a, nuisance that I put my hat on, go to the street door, and order him away. "Half-past ten.—T,wo young men, ragged and shoeless, invade the street, and sing, 'We have no work to do-o-o,' with - the usual drawl. They are not very successful, but.far mere so that they deserve, and get a solitary penny from the house that hires the brass band. "Eleven o'clock.—An old man, thinly clad and feeble, with venerable gray hairs, whist ling, but so very faintly a r s to be scarcely audible. He presents so forlorn an appear ance, and his idea of attracting anybody's at tention by such a weakly perforance, appears to me so absurd that I pity him to the extent of a penny. I throw it out to him wrapped in a piece of paper. He catches it in his hat, opens the paper, takes out the penny and spits upon it three times, for luck I suppose, and goes on whistling. "Fifteen minutes past eleven.—A. drum. An abominable monotonous outrage. It is a Lascar beating the tom-tom, and every now and then breaking out into a moan,'a whine, a grunt, a shriek, or all these four diabolically blended into one. He is the most repulsive and sav age looking creature I ever beheld. Gaunt and wiry as a hyena, and with the same savage expression of countenance, he strongly impresses me with the idea that he must be Nana Sahib, who massacred the women and children at Cawnpore, or some other eastern scoundrel quite as detestable, if prolific na ture has ever yet produced a match to that specimen of her handiwork. There is no policeman to be seen, and I think if I were a policeman I should be rather shy of tackling such an ugly customer. "Five minutes past twelve.-Another brass band, the performers boys and lads from the 'Fatherland,' who play so loudly and so ex ecrably that I. wish the 'Fatherland,' had them back again, or that Count Bismarck would take hold of them for the nextßado wa that his own or his royal master's ambition or va i f 3 / 4 ty may compel him to fight. "T enty minutes to ene.—A woman grinding a barrel-organ, with a baby fast asleep upon the top of it. "Quarter past one.—An Italian boy, appa rently of about fourteen years of age f with a hurdy gurdy. He whistles to it as an accom paniment. "Twenty minutes to two. —Another Italian, with a barrel-organ and a monkey. "Half-past two.—A performer on the cor net-a-piston plays "The last Rose of Sum mer" and "Auld Lang Syne." "A quarter past three.—A. lad in shabby Highland costume exhibits a pair of legs that do not show to advantage, and plays villain ously on the bagpipes the well known air of Bonnie Laddie. "Five minutes to four.— A. blind Gild man, playing the violin, led by a young woman-- possibly his daughter. His tunes are mostly Scotch, and miserably perverted. "Five o'clock.—Barrel organ. Champagne Charlie, Not for Joseph and Adeste Fidelis.- - I No policemen. "Twenty-five minutes past five.—Barrel organ. Partant pour la Syrie. "Six o'clock.—An old man with a fiddle, an old woman with a concertina, and a younger woman witho baby at her breast. The young woman sing,s, and the other per formers murder the music. "Twenty minute - a past six.—A. man lead ing a Newfciundland dog, with a monkey riding on „its back. The maa beats a big drum to attract attention. "Half-past seven—A barrel organ. No pplfeernan. "Eight o'clock—A woman, 'clad in un womanly rags,' with a thin weak voice, dole fully chanting Annie Laurie. "A quarter-past eight.—A. barrel-organ. Policeman in the street, for a wonder; is told to expel this performer, and expels him ac cordingly. The man persists in grinding as he goes up the street to get out of it. 'Leave off,' says the policeman, sharply, and in the tone of a man that means mischief if he be thwarted; and the tune ceases. The police man walks down the street, up again, and disappears; and in less than live minutes• the organ fiend—for such this particUlarly perti nacious vagabond deserves to be called—re enters the scene of his discomfaure,and begins to grind away triukaphantly at the One Hun dredth Psalm. "The above is a fair and true account, and an unvarnished tale of a day's music and misery in London." LETTER FROM BERLIN. lignixs, Sept. 19th, 1868.—The King's speech at Kiel is pretty generally taken as an appropri ate animadversion on the Emperor's silence at Chalons. His Majesty, it is said, could not ig nore the fact of another sovereign complacently standing by and suffering his troops to clamor for war against him. In the opinion of his sub jects the dignity of the crown and the safety of country alike would have been compro inised had he allowed such unprecedented con duct on the part of a neighboring and professedly friendly potentate to go unnoticed. In passing over the language of the papers, and also that employed by some of the Ministers of Napo leon 111., the King, it is thought, had given sufficient proof of his patience and self-control. To feign ignoranch of what had occurred at Cha lons, when Napoleon himself had played such an important part in it, might have seemed timid, and world hoye certainly seemed unwise, To appear any longer indifferent mighthave encour aged Napoleon in his hazardous course, and by allowing him to drift from provocation to provo7 cation,"brought on the very war which, the King and his subjects are so anxious to avoid. That the King's words could be construed into a threat when they are intended only to stem the tide of foreign, menaces, no ono here seems for a mo ment to apprehend. The fact of the Prussian government and people wishing for nothing so ardently as to be left alone, is supposed to be in disputable,. except by the professional war eophists of Paris. Even those unscrupulous consists. it is remarked, finding it im poseiblato base their attacks upon any acts corn • milted by this Government, are driven to impute certain objectionable intentions as the only way of accounting for their sanguinary designs. They threaten war because Prussia, according to them, is going to receive the Southern States nto the Northern Confederacy. Now, it is cer ainly the opinion of the Germans that, even if Prussia did harbor such intention's, this would not justify France in announcing an interference, EWHIA, TIIIIRSDAT 2 „OOOI3k*,B, 1868. thantielkihritg catsta.mordp etudve t • heeom g e'and-iddeptkidenco of ~this 'gnat • and famotivealtn.frpm ;,this ready made considinsition, 'it;; is: ;assOteti thfit the • merest , - ;,,glance at the dastpry of ' the last two , ,,fears , must - -cOnvirite sto ry ono thactwhateVer thekTrussian!,Goifernment• may be driven to do in the future, it is not at all inclined to take the unpalatable step just now. It prefers peace to war, having gained more than remains to be gained. ,It prefers digesting what it has, dreading the effect 'the ' acquisition of more must havq upon the constitution of the land. Above all things it is desirous to avoid war with France, which would probably entail a num ber of successive campaigns, and even if crowned with victory in the end, produce* incalculable changes at home' and abroad. All that, it is stated, has been amply proved by Prussia's clan-` dilatory bearing in the Luxemburg affair, when, instead of evacuating forts garrisoned by Ger many for a thousand years, she might have pounced , upon unarmed France, as also by the extreme reserve with which the advances of Baden and Bavaria have been received by this Court. Such being the case, it is confidently assumed in our political circles that the frivolity of French innuendoes must be evident to every one, and that the king's words cannot bepastiv inter preted as pointing to more than a determination to ward ,off aggression. This is also the reading given to the speech on 'Change. What threw the Vienna bankers into a panic had but a very transient effect upon those' of Berlin. But while the public are well satisfied with the royal utterance, they are less so with the way it has been received in France. It is observed that the French Government papers insist upon re garding the speech as taking a merely retrospec tive view, without any reference to the events of the day: It is also noticed that, acting upon this pretended ignorance of the real name and object of the speech, the Ministers, as well as the papers of Nap. to the sae insinuationsoleon 111 as before.continue Simulating offer un consciousness of the provocation given by' them and resented by others. they Mid It all the more feasible for them to o on the same crooked and 'slippery track. The Connetu t ionnel cannot imagine that the hint dropped by King William refers to anything of more recent )nterest than the conquest of Alsen or the victory of &down; the Monsteur, seemingly assured by this assertion of its honored confrere, continues to speak of "questions in examining which the various Powers endeavor to make the principle of moderation prevail." As though there existed any questions but those wantonly raised or inju diciously fostered in the Paris press; as though there wore any special need for the Powers to "endeavor to make the principle of moderation prevail." LETTER FROM VALPARAISO. VALPARAISO, Sept. 2d, 1868.—0 n the 20th nit news arrived of the great earthquake which has ravaged the south of Peru and extended its effects even as far as our own southern ports. Excepting the great earthquake at Lisbon in 1755. we know of none that can be compared with it as regards both duration and extent. No sooner was the dismal intelligence received than the merchants of this city act about organizing suc cors In aid of the sufferers. At a meeting held at the Exchange, it was ananimeinalv resolved to raise a subscription of 910,000 for the purpose. Ail the residents of Valparaiso wero invited to share in this work of mercy, and the contribu tions soon rose to $38,000. They now exceed that amount. Congress vied witlt the public in munificence. On motion of the Ministers, the sum of $50,000 was voted, to be appropriated to the same object. The Government has placed at the service of the merchants the transport Maipu, In which large supplies of provisions, clothing, medicines, etc., have been slespatched to the coast of Peru. A physician was also engaged to render surgical assistance, it being stated that there ~were many persons seriously injured. The Intendente of Copiapo and the Municipal Council at Caldera had, with praiseworthy alacrity, already aided the sufferers with the most necessary supplies of food, and their ex ample bad been followed by the Covadonga, lying at Mejilones. In a word we may say that this Peruvian catastrophe has inspired as much in terest and sympathy here, as if It had occurred in our own midst. The public and the govern ment have shown a noble emulation in minister ing to the wants of the distressed. 'For a short time serious apprehensions were entertained that we would be similarly visited. Scarcely were the public Informed of what had occurred in Peru,w hen the report became o.ft 4 that 7 one of our volcanoes—Aconcagua—w 't a state of violent ferment. As it is situated ar away in the Cordilleras,many persons wer ed to mistake for smoke the clouds in which its summit is usually wrapped, and hence,the origin of the re port. ' Its falsity is now gloved, and the alarm has consequentlysubsided. WATCJECES. Jztvr.r.ac.a. ate. • LEWIS LA DO & co: • DIAMOND DE.ILIAVi (bz .91"AVELElig. Kell I 11ARF. \:WATCHES aLo.

Naturalization In the driprinto Court. TILE AP.RILMENT YETERDAY. After the reading of the supplemental answer of Colonel J. Ross Snowden, Prothonotary, in 1 the proceedings in the Supreme Coart relative to naturalization papers yesterday, the argu ment for the petitioner was opened by LewLs Wain firrtith, Esq.. who said: I deem it unneces sary to refer to the importance of the question which your Honor has been hearing for the last few days. The rights of the citizen and the deo tive franchise ate prized so highly, that when the slightest attempt is made at infringement then the matter becomes one of the most vital importance, and especially so when the courts are made the cloaks to cover up the frauds, when the seal of the court is at tached to fraudulentpapers, as in this case . He then reviewed the testi mony at length, asserting that the theory started that the papers in question may have been put upon the person of Devine by some one else was unsupported by the testimony of any one, save Devine himself, who swears positively that he never had these papers, never had a pistol, nor any knowledge or recollection of them. In answer to this, we have the sworn testimony of two po lice officers, who discharged their duties as faith ful public servants. He is put in prison t his friends enter heavy bail for him, and In a day or two aftewards he tomes into court on the mere notice In a newspaper. The assertion is preposterous. But, granting that these papers were put upon the person bf Devine by some one Alec, how does that exonerate C,olonel, Snowden. Wo do not believe Colonel Snowden is criminally con nected with this fraud, bat that he may have been negligent in the discharge of his duties, which. in a public officer, approaches nearly to critale a lire. • He' then took up the testimony of each witness, arguing that, In part as well as in whole, the evl dencv disclosed such great negligence in the coa duct of the Prothonotary as to call for the re ilection of the Cohrt;as the only thing that could be collected from the evidence was that they must -have been criminally signed and sealed and re moved by some-pf the clerks, or that they had been stolen after - being signed and sealed in the olice. George W. Biddle, Esq., in reply said that he proposed to confine himself as closely as he could to the matter before the court. The pro ceeding is one of interest and importance to the person against whom it ts directed, a proceeding in which his official conduct is to be the subject of praise or blame; a proceeding which charges gross negligence in his official conduct, and it is my duty to show the Court that there is no ground or foundation for the allegation. It is admitted, better, it is proved, that the name of James Ross Snowden attached to those twelve papers Ls not the writing of the Prothonotary, and that he has no knowledge of it. We are thus narrowed down to the sealing. Those impressions mast either have been made in the office or in one of the ways detailed by the witness. A very probable theory is that that im pression may be a simulated impression; but, be it, simulated or genuine, there is not a particle of testimony that those Impressions were made through the negligence or omission of Col. Snow den. I deny that the practice of sealing in blank is an illegal one; it has been practiced in all the Courts, as eroved by the testimony. It would be impossible to carry on the business of the coun try without this practice, and it is a mere bag bear, got up for certain purposes. Mr. Cnyler followed, paying a high tribute to the purity of character of Colonel Snowden, and said that it caused him great sorrow that party spirit and malignity could become so great as to attack 'a man of his unspotted and unblemished integrity, and argued that if at all he must stand charged with negligence in his office, it must be: First, In the selection of the clerks in his office, and secondly, in the exietence of ..negligent prac tiees in his office. As to the first, there was not the slightest, " particle of testimony as to the negligence- •of -single , clerk in the office. And as to the other, it cannot but be said , that the- practice of keeping papers sealed in blank - , if negligent, is one that has be come the universal custom, and is warranted - by the convenience it affords of transacting the bust nese of , the • court- He' then referred to' the wit -nese Boileira. saying that he had 'been unjustly dealt with; and appealed to Mr. Brewster if he could lay his head upon his pillow in peace after drawing freni that witness testimony damaging to hie character, and then denying him an op portunity explain' the circumstances and.vin dicate himself. ` He' then' continued; arguing that such a pertion _. as., Devine hardly re moved from idiocy, "and besotted with liquor, would hardly be the persons that would be en trusted with these papers, and animadverted se verely upon the conduct of the officers who ar rested him in not arresting the individual who struck him with a black-jack, in letting him lie in the station-house for nearly three days without medical attendance, and in searching him, which he was astonished to learn In this land - of liberty and freedom, was the usual practice. He reas serted the point that the prosecution had failed in connecting this person with the court. He then read .an extract from an editorial in one of the evening papers and said he read in that a f ore shadovvlngpf the ptirpose of this snit; a foresha 'dowing of an intention to cast aside all the natu ralization:papers or. the day of election, unless proof of their genuineness is produced at the polio. - I ask of yottr'Honor to say-here' from the bench that no election- officer "shall disregard the seal ofthe court, - and that if they do that there is a potver in the law-to vindicate itself, and that they shall be punished. He referred to the comments of tieWspapersamosetheinvestigation, and Concluded by asking that the rule be die cherged. _ . Attorney-General Brewiter closed the armament on the part of the prosecution, saying that being called upon by the learned counsel : on-the other side, he would state the reasons by, which he ap peared. It is not a pleasant duty to come here and see the business of this court - -criticised. I was; conferred with officially by the'counsel 'who have conducted the case, and advised them to go on, as they were ably. ,conducting it;. but I was brought here by the thought that I am tho minis ter of justice of this State, and closely connected with this and all other courts, and declared it my duty, in virtue of my office, of my merabetsl4 of the baryto come herstapd conduct the ease. That -is the reason why I itm here, and I challenge a denial of my right to be here. • As I understand it; the Subject that is.before you is a rtile - to inquire into the manner in which naturalization is conducted in this court. It has been the subject of inquiry since the formation of the Government, and each political party is Benet dye of the manner in whicii it is done. Though sthe laws -are--right, they are not adMitlistered rightly. Is it to be wondered at, that when a man is arrested upon the streetsi and in his possession are fonuil blank papers, with the name of the Pro thenotlify and the seal of this,court upon them, at the attention of the court ehotdd he called to th them P . They are found upon the person of a drunkard, but, as nty brother Smith says, it makes no difference upon whom they are found, that does' not do away with—the necessity. of at examination. The seal is criticised; and may be a forgery; the signature is criticised, and is a for geryi Ira the paper- Is rot'criaclSed;atid is not a forgery. The seal Is criticised; anti said to be a forgery, and it liras neglect on the part of the ,Prothonotary In keeping the seal ,in such a care less manner. unguarded and unprotected, as that a counterfeit of it could be made. I say again that I do not believe the Prothono tary to have been connected in the forgery of the seal. I say that in lustiest° the character of that ,gentleman; but. stripping the case of all such considerations, I ask the Court to say to the Pro thonotary that ho has kept the seal in so careless and unguarded a manner as . to,rmit a forgery of it to be made. rßy doing this pe he has com mitted a greater :wrong than if he had allowed the forgery to bc made, aii 'thereby.' the whole community is wronged and the , fundamental of our Government, are ffected. The seal of the court is theaction- of the court— the signature is his own private action t and the Pro thonotary should not dare to "affix the Flea to a blank paper without the permission of the court. How did he keep that seal? Why, open and near the window, where everybody could get at it? Now, what is the testimony? Commencing with Mr. Blair and tracing It down to Mr.• Wor rell, who, in tile. honest , and gentlemanly testi mony, said that as many as seventy-two blanks had been sealed every day, it was shown that In variably was it the case to sign the name of the Prothonotary whether he 'was in the court or not. Was that careful conduct or negligence? Feeling and sensibility are not confined 6* brother.h I can feel for the witness Bolleatf; but I would have been wanting in - the duty of of- Ace had I allowed a criminal to stand up ICourt and,. impeach the dignity of a Court ofjustice where twelve Men had convicted him, and he had been confined in a cell in the penitentiary. Is ,pc to corn e into Court and enjoy the conadenc,e ,:or.yoUr florior=tii;use your seal?: Is , bis crime to exalt him to an honorary position? Is not the Prothonotary guilty of negligence in taking into his employ, a man who had been convicted of a criminal charge and sentenced to a term of im prisonment, without previous knowledge of him on his part? He closed his remarks - by arguing 'that tindertbe evidence adduced in the case the attachment should Issue. Judge Sharawood then stated that he would de liver Me opinion on Saturday next. Naturalszatlon In the Court et Coin- mon. Pleas. , Yesterday Mr: Cassidy called:the attention of the Court,Jndges Allison and Peirce on the bench, to the way, in which the naturalization business was conducted' in their court, and stated that fourteen or fifteen. persons had been arrested on the preceding evening, claiming to reside in Cat asaqua, and to have been naturalized. An in vestigation had shown that these men bad come to the country at mature age, some thirty years of age, and most of them over fifty, and yet had papers declaring that they had come in under eighteen. Ono of these men was now in court, and prepared to state under oath the way in which naturalization papers were obtained. Judge Allison—Let him be sworn. James Taite, sworn-1 lire in CatAsaqua; lam fifty-four years of age; I came to this country fourteen years ago; I never declared my inten Lions; I came down yesterday with the boys to get naturalized: these are the papers given to me by thisyoung man (pointing to a young man named Russell. a clerk in the office of the Protho notary of the Court of Common Pleas); I did not swear I came in Under eighteen: I was not asked; I was not sworn at all: I was not asked anything. The papers were handed to the Judges, and are those known as minors' papers. W. G. Russell was then called by Judge Allison and asked if be had not charge of swearing the peo ple applying for papers In this court? To which Russell replied that, he had, and bad made oat the papers for this Mau and those who were with Judge Allison—Did you read the petition to him orlbe oath? A.—No, sir. 1 only asked him if the contents were tine, hitt did not tellitina or any of them what the contents were. Judge Allison—TbeSe Paper . s ate clearly fraudu lent. The system growing up within four or five years of naturalizing people in this Court is in my judmetit, contrary to' law, and has been so con ductsd without my consent, and in opposition to a practice introduced by me when I first came on the Bench, which required these matters to be pr4.eeetled in as other judicial matters are in open Court, and before a Judge of the Court. The whole proceedings. as now conducted,render the law a farce and its administration a disgrace. Judge Peirce—l fully endorse what has been said: and say for myself, I will sign no more pa pers and suffer no more to be taken unless I ex amine each case myself. Mr. Cassidy said that thirty-seven papers were obtained m tee same way as that of Mr. Talte, and that he hati a number now in his hand brought into Court by Alderman -White, of the same kind, which he desired the Court to dispose of. Judge -kilison—Let these papers be marked and impounded by the Crier of the 'Court as fraudu lent_ Chief Justice Thompson's Reply to Judrze Read. t, Oct. 7, 18G8.—HUN. JOHN M. Rea Sir: Your letter dated this day has been received by me, but the business of the Court (Nisi Fritts) has prevented my consid ering Its contents as fully as I may hereafter do, it I find it to be part of my official duty to do so. There arc some things, however, which it dis closes very distinctly, and which surprise me me much. The first of these is, that without consultation with me, the official organ of the Court, you should of your own motion have convoked for consultation Mr. Justice Agnew and Judge Wil liams in regard to the business of the Supreme Court, and that there should have been a consul tation held in relation' to its business, without any notice to either Justice Slaarswood or myself, or any opportunity given for either to be present, I think it might have struck you that. if the meeting of Judges composing the Su preme Court was to be of any consequence, or have any significance whatever, we should have had the opportunity, at least, of being present. If any change of the practice in granting natu ralliatiOn papers from what has been sanctioned by your own practice, as fully as that of any other of the Judges, was contemplated.we should have had the benefit of your views on the point, and an , opportunity to express ours, If we desired to do so. It seem to me this would have been both reasonable and proper. I am more surprised, however , at the expres sion of an extra judicial opinion by fourself, and which you say was also expressed by Justice Ag new and Judge Williams, not yet a judge of the Supreme Court.•in regard to what might perhaps become the 'subject ofjudiclal action in the Court hereafter. j think you will hardly differ with me in the opinion, that any pre-judgment ex pressed Mint, disqualify a Judge 'expressing it from sitting at: the hearing of any case in Which the subject of it may come in cons troversy. It will , be no excuse for 'Judge expressing opinions that they were not fally ap pred of the facts of • thecae° of which they un dertake to speak. This, let me suggest, would be a'good reason fin refraining from e±pressing extra-judicial opinions; but if expressed, it would not avail to qualify the Judge to act, if it case etedd happen to come before him in due and legal form, Involving the. same question. This remark is general, but you cannot sloubt its ap plicability, I think, to what is said by you about the practice observed in naturalizations at Nisi Prins. Yon request Inc to rea'd your letter in open court. I cannot do this. It Is in no way connec ted with anything before me, either as matter of testimony or matter of law. ; Besides; I mast de cline publishing any extra judicial opinions of - any of my brethren, - especially so as - Mr. Justice Agnew is absent, although your letter gives me to understand that he is of the same opinion with yourself, and that he will repeat that opinion at any time hereafter. , Nor conj. think of com mitting Judge Will , ms to the pledge yon make, that he will repeat the opinion you express as soon as, or whenever, he shall be sworn as Judge of the Supreme - Court, namely: That the -proceedings of the Court of Nisi ,Prius in naturalizing aliens are void, although you do not pretend that the Mart was not legally constituted and legally acting. Excuse me for entertaining the belief that there is some mistake about this advance opinion of Judge Williams—as well as that of Judge' Agnew—on so rave a subject as that to - which you refer; but if ,-I should be mistaken, they must. them selves give -them to the public; they cannot come through me. If there indeed wore any , grounds of complaint that applicants for naturalization and their vouchers have not been sufficiently ex amined as to what they were to attest, and have attested without sufficient ' information, what might not be said even of Judges deciding...on what not; been done without either seeing themselves THE DAILY. EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, .1868. or beiniaided by legal inoof of whattas occur red? I have not had the pie:entre of seeing either .my brother- Justice' Agnew or Judge . Williams at the Court-rooms, nor evei: 3 our self since I havd been on the bench, e r . last month, when I presided at several times, nor _this month, and what power you had to examine witnesses, not being competent to form or hold a Court, nayou say, I do not know. If there be error, which is not admitted, in_ the particular you complain of, to wit: want of proper ex amination of witnesses, I think it must strike you as quite as grave an error in Judges assum ing to expreee opinions of what might become judicial questions without the requi site information judicially obtained. I ab stain from the expression of any opinion about what is established by the records. What they contain moat remain until set aside by a Court competent to review; reverse and ' set it aside; and this well-known rule applies as well to naturnlizatioit of citizens as td any.rither deflate act a court can perform: if any , question shall ever arise as to the regularity and definiteness of the action of the conrsein regard to naturalize-, tion, or any other thing it may have done, I will exprees - an opinion only after proofs • made and hearing of the parties, or their counsel, ou the law and the facts involved.
