Fraudulent Naturalization Papers Remarks of District Attorney Mann Order of Jaetiee Read at - nil Prin. Remarks of Wm. B. Mann, Esq., at the open ing of the Supreme Court this morning, Novem ber 2, 1868: • May it please the Court: This morning closes my official term as District Attorney of this county, and at the expiration of that term, in company with a number of citizens of this county, I appear before you. Anothergentleman will to day be sworn into office as District Attorney. I propose to devote the slight remnant of my offi cial term to the _performance of a duty that is regarded by all- of us as a sacred duty. These gentlemen and myself feel great interest in reference to a large number of fraudulent nat uralizations which nave been Issued contrary to the Act of Assembly which makes it a criminal offence to issue such. There is not upon the records of this court any evidence of the natural ization of many persons who have voted. Many thousands of such papers are scattered abroad. Some are genuine and some we be lieve to have a fictitious seal. The name of the Prothonotary is forged upon ma n of them. The officers are unable to (Usedni n ate. We come to ask your Honor to take offi cial notice of this state of affairs, and whether the highest judicial duties are to be delegated to the Upstaves of the Court. We ask your Honor to pass upon this, and say whether these papers are to go abroad when the Judge has never seen the applicant. As the official representative of the county, I ask your Honor to take some official action in the matter. Justice Read then delivered the following im portant opinion : NISI PRIIII3, Molw&i,November 2, 1868.—Read, J.—The number of persona naturalized in the Court of Mai Prins, from the 13th of September last to the 18th of October, 1868, was six thou sand eight hundred and forty-six, of which num ber two thousand eight hundred and seventy-two were naturalized in the week ending the 3d day of October: and of these seven hundred and twenty were naturalized in one day of five hours. Some persons were neither examined by nor sworn by the Judge holding the Court, but the examination and oath were made and administered by two or more tipstaves, in the corner of the Court room, or in an adjoining room. The applicant was not seen by the Judge, nor by the Prothonotary who attached his name to the papers when brought to him by the tipstavea. In fact there was no exam ination at all. What the tipstavea did was to ad minister the oaths. m7117-ta In my letter of the 7th of October last I said: "We all three regard the practice of naturaliza tion, pursued by the Nisi Prins, however old, or by whatever Judges sanctioned, as contrary to the plain ,words of the acts of Congress, and therefore illegal. Naturalization is a judietal let, and the examination of the applicant and his witness or voucher should be conducted by the Judge himself. Such was the practice of Judge Agnew when a President Judge, and is the uni form practice of the District Court of the County of Allegheny;" and is the established practice in all the counties beyond the limits of Philadel phia. •Sig attention has bean called -to the ;tenth steer Lion of the act of the 4th of April; ISM . The con stitutimuffity of ~this, act was .befOrd - file.:.Chlef Justice at Nitd 'Print!, and, he called Upton its • to bear the argument, and assist him whn bar ad- Vice. Two of ma thcitight.the law constitutionaL The Chief Justice was of opinion It was uncoil stitutional in several of its provialons,in only one of which my brother Strong concurred.in relation to the ten days before election. This was the only part of it which the Court decided to be un constitutional. This section, therefore, which Is a separate, independent enactment, is in full farce, and Is in these words: "If any Prothonotary, clerk, or the deputy of either, or any other person, shall affix the seal of office to any naturalization paper, or give out, the same in blank, whereby It may be fraudulently used, or furnish a naturalization certificate to any person who shall not have been duly examined and sworn in open court, in presence of some of the Judges thereof, according to the Act of ,Con • gresa, he shall be guilty of a high misde meanor; or if any person shall fraudulently use any such certificate of naturalization, know ing that it was fraudulently issued, and shall vote or attempt to vote thereon, he shall be guilty of a high misdemeanor; and either or any of the persona, when skiers and abettors, guilty of either of the misdemeanors aforesaid, shall, on conviction, be fined in a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars, and imprisoned in the proper penitentiary for a period not exceeding three years." Now It is clear that none of the persons to whom naturalization certifications were furnish ed, had ever been duly examined and sworn in open court In presence of some of the Judges thereof, according to the act of Congress. They were not duly examined, in fact not examined at all by the Judges er the Prothono tary, nor even by the o ffi ciating tipstavea; nor were they sworn in open court, in presence of the Judge, nor were the applicant and his wit nue seen by the Judge or Prothonotary, but the examination which was never made and the ad ministration of the oath were entrusted to two tipstavea, who had no power to examine or ad minister an oath. There is not a single feature of a judicial act n the whole transaction. The Prothonotary who furnishes such certifi cates exposes himself to the penalties of the statute, and the persons using such certificates and voting or attempting to vote thereon render themselves liable to be punished to the utmost limit of the law. There-indirect evidence-of-the-natural effect of no due examination of the applicant or his wit ness, in the naturalization of a rebel soldier, who of course had behaved as a man of good moral character, attached to the principles of the Con stitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the same. So in certificates granted to men who wore not in the county pn the day they bore date; so in certificates granted to persons as minors, who bad regularly declared their intentions; so where there were professional vouchers who were paid to perjure themselves, one of whom by his own acknowledgment and oath falsely vouched for seventv-two persons, who were thus fraudulently naturalized. The employment as a clerk, upon the recom mendation of another clerk, of a person who had been convicted of issuing forged land warrants, and the employment of other persons in the of fice, may account for the blank certificates float ing about with the seal affixed, to be filled up at the_pleasure_of the halm Taking therefore into consideration the original illegal character of these certificates, so distinctly pointed out by the Act of Asembly, and so severe ly punished by its provisions, with the circum stances of fraud so inseparably connected ,with them, I can only come to one conclusion-4hat the whole issue illegal, contrary to the act of Congress, contrary to the act of Assembly, and should be rejected at the polls. The Prothonotary is responsible for furnishing such certificates, and the persons who attempted to vote on them, mint face the penalties of the tenth section. Some have contended, and with great force, that the Mei Prins has no power to naturalize, but upon this point I express no opinion. The naturalization frauds in this and other States show the - necessity of Congress either con fining naturalization to the Federal Courts, the officers of mhich are directly responsible to the United States ; or . if the State Courts are to be still permitted to naturalize, the proceedings should be so guarded by express positive provi sions as will render frauds impracticable. , The act of Congress of 1813 punishes an of fence that is often committed, of making sale ,or disposing of any certificate of citizenship to any person other than the person Ant' ,whom,it was COURTS. PHILADELPHIA,. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2; 1868, originally issued, and to whom it may of right belong, by making it felony, and upon convic tion sentencing the offender to be imprisoned and kept at hard labor for a period of not less than three or more than five years, or be fined in a sum not less than five hundred dollars nor more than ono thousand dollars, at the discretion of the Court. In view of the whole matter I make the follow ing order: And now, November 2d, 1868 it Is ordered that no more aliens shall bo naturalized in this Court. Since writing the above I find that indictments have been found against, and requisitions have been made for persons holding high official stations in a sister State: and that the Grand Jury on Saturday last made a very startling statement, as follows: "The Grand Jury have had before them evi dence of the deliberatA3 orga,nizetion, in open day; in this and neighboring cities, of bands of men having no right to vote at our election, coming to our city for the puTpose, and re peatedly voting under assumed names; also pre venting legal voters from exercising their rights. The fraud has been carried to such an extent, as seems to the Jury to earnestly demand the efforts of all good citizens and officers of all parties to detect and punish, to the extent of the law, all such criminals." The Judge then added : I have been informed that it is the intention of podies of men organized in the cities of New York and Baltlmore t to come to this city on to-morrow to illegally vote. I desire to warn these people in my capacity as exon7cio Justice of the Peace. and as a Judge of the highest Criminal Court in the Commonwealth, that if they are detected in such violations of the law they will be punished to the fall extent of the law. I may add that I have resided in thifl city, of which I am a native, for seventy-one years, and I never before beard of such outrageous conduct as that practiced at the election held on the 13th of October last, and with the gentlemen of the Grand Jury I unite in calling upon our best citi zens, without regard to party, to aid to prevent ing a repetition of these scenes. POLITICAL. DEMOCRATIC OUTRAGE NEAR MAR- RISBURG. Attempt to 13larder Republicans. [From the Harrisburg Telegraph of Oct al.] Last evening, white the excursion train to the Republican mass-meeting at .Mechanicsburg was returning to Harrisburg after line torchlight pro cession, the engineer ollscovera several obstacles on the track ahead in the vicinity of the "cut," just this side of Mechanicsburg, and immediately whistled for the train to stop. Fortunately the train was not under full headway at the time, and before the obstruction was reached the course of the train was completely checked. An ex amination of the road bed revealed the fact that several ties had been placed on the track by some fiends with the intention of throwing off the train, and no doubt with the belief that by so doing a number of Union voters would be killed or disabled, and prevented from reaching the polls next Tuesday. The villains who attempted the murder of the excursionists are still at large, and so far as beard from no arrests haveyet been made. We doubt if any will be made, for several attempts at murder within the past five years on similar oc casions have been winked at by the authorities in that county! One of which instances we will try to call to their minds--the shooting at the same engineer who had charge of the train last evening. This gentleman, George Monath, while In the discharge of his duty on his locomotive, was shot at three or four ye.ars,ago in the vicin ity Of a Republican meethlg, simply because the company made it his duty to assist in canying persons to and from the place of gathering at excursion rates. Is it any wonder that Democ racy is on the wane? A LoOk Into the FUtore. Wouldn't it be a pleasing sight for the old Fort Pillow crowd—Frank Blair presiding over the Senate and Dan Voorhees over the House.

Halt it Million Men behind the Masked Pirates and Assassins of Tennessee, Arliansas, Louisiana and Texas— Gen. Forrest the Leader of the Menu phis Piracy. A correspondent of the Tribune writes from Memphis: "You say that many object to the use of the phrase The New Rebellion. To Unionists South it but expresses the actual condition of affairs as seen in every day life. What else mean the or ganization and purposes of the Ku-Klux-Klan? Acknowledge that in its incipiency 'it was de signed solely as a political organization to con trol the Southern elections, how were such par poses manifested in our midst? By an evident determination, through the agency of the clan, to carry such elections by any means, even to the assassination of prom inent Republican leaders, the murdering or over awing of the leading blacks, and the consequent intimidation of the colored voters at large. This policy so successfully adopted in Mississippi, and subsequently introduced throughout the South, is certainly but rebellion, and cannot be fittingly expressed by any other term. Those who object to the phrase probably still professto confide in the peaceful professions_ of such-conspicuous Southern leaders as Hampton, Hill, Forrest and others, and ,reject the admissions of Forrest in regard to the Ku-Klux organiza tion. 'ln Tennessee,' said Forrest, 'there are over 40,000, in all the Southern States there• are about 550,000 men. Here, on the scene of action, with the light about us, we are led to the painful conviction that, rendered desperate by the seem fu certainty of defeat and consequent overthrow of. their hopes for the accomplishment of their Incendiary designs through the ballot, the insane leaders of the fire-eating element are preparing, desperate as it may , seem, to once more light the flames of civil war. ' Blass Meeting in Northampton County • A large and enthusiastic meeting was held on last Saturday evening by the Republicans of Al len township, Northampton county. Jae. F. Coffin, Dig., of Danielsville, and Win. S. Young, Jr., of Allentawn, addressed the meeting in Eng lish, and Dr. Wm., J. Romig, of the latter place, In German. The meeting was enlivened by the Glee Club of l Danielayille, consisting of thirty members. Songs were also Sung tht: *Welsh language. The people there .are hard at work, and will, bring out their fall force to-morrow. OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. The Twenty...third Ward. Saturday was a field day In the Twenty-third Ward for the friends of Grant and Colfax. In the afternoon addresses wore delivered at Holmesburg by John Goforth, Esq., and lions. Leonard Myers and Caleb N. Taylor. The even ing meeting at Frankford was addressed by. Edward G. Lee, Colonel McMichael, and by Mesgrs. Myers and Taylor. All spoke well and were received well, but the enthusiasm for the last-named gentlemen was intensified by the In dignation of the people at the frauds which foi a few months only will deprive them of, their seats in Congress, and Frankford Halt rang with ap plause at their eloquent speeches. The New York Tribune says: "On the very eve -of the election, the World and other Democratic loapera pualish, as extracted from the Kentucky Yeoman, an abusive, dab,' tirade against Adopted Citizens, which is at tributed to Schuyler Colfax. The scoundrel who forged, and .the scoundrels who circulate this base coinage, are equally aware of the villainy of their conduct. No man who knows how Mr. 'Colfax speaks need be told that nothing like this was ever uttered by him. It might, with egtial truth and plausibility, be attributed to George Washington. " Honest men ! brand the villains who resort to forgery to promote their nefarious ends!" Democratic Preference for Grant. Major-General A. S. Williams, United States Minister to San Salvador, who commanded the Twentieth Corps in the march to the sea, and in 1866 was the Democratic candidate for Governor of Michigan, writes as follows to a friend in New York : Mr DRAB GENERAL: Though I never belonged to what is called the Hadical party, I certainly hope Grant and Colfax will be elected. I am greatly disgusted. with the prominence that such Arch-Rebels as Wade Hampton, Toombs, Pres ton and the like are assuming and permitted to exercise in this campaign. I was in hopes that the originators of _that cursed rebellion would never again be permitted to sit in a political con vention of any 'party. They should be forever disfranchised and disowned. Very sincerely and truly yours. PANAMA, Oct. 20, 1868. A correspondent of the Memphis Post far nishes the following communication to that paper: "Editors Post: Last Sabbath morning I was accidentally standing near two ex-rebels, in the northern part of the city, who were engaged in an earnest conversation upon the political situa tion, which from its nature attracted my atten tion. Among the many facta which their con versation disclosed were the following, which I send you for publication, leaving you and the readers of your valuable paper to attach what ever reliability the thoustuad rumors now afloat and the well known vincildiave spirit of the Con servative party in this State, as well as others, may warrant. " 'We have no expectation of winning in this election at the ballot box, brit we are going to make use of lorce to regain our political rights: Gen. Forrest is working for the Conservative cause when the d-41 Radicals are asleep. We have picked the men in this city wild are too mean to live, and before long they shall be hung or shot. Gen. Granger has sent away nearly all the Eoldiera in this city who are able to he on duty, and - whatever his superior officer, General Thomas, may order in regard to the use of the present force now in the city Would avail noth ing.

Surma, Ala., Oct. 3L—A Grant and Colfax meeting was broken up at EntawGreene county, in this Sta n on the 2dd inst.,and I was. prevented from spe ak gby an armed mob, headed by Hardeway, the ear-Sheriff, and Colonel Jolley, a Seymour elector, who swore that no Northern man should speak In Greene County. The threat was also publicly made that if United States troops were sent there they would butchgr, them. At Thscaloosa, in this State, a Grant andUolfax meeting was dispersed by a mob headed by Ryland Randolph, of Monitor fame, which, with cocked revolvers in their hands, drove State Senator Charles Hays from the stand. Mr. Hays is a native of Alabama, was in the Confederate army, though always a Union man. owns 12,000 acres of the best land in Alabama,and is a man of education and high character. His only offence consists'in being a Republican. For the good of our whole conntry,we appeal to the patriotism the Republic to elect Grant, and give us free speech and peace at the South. WILLARD WARNER, United States Senator. EUROPEAN AFFAIRS A curious bit of statistics from Madrid proves that ferociousness comes just as naturally to the populace as to sovereigns. The Spaniards have had their revenge out on Isabella's I:mists, of which they have shattered enough to cover 1,000 cubic metres—amillion quarts of plaster. Sturely,ff all this waste had been considered the pieces might have been sent to the fallen Queen for the build ing of castles in the air. The state of the Span ish embassy is also a fallen one. It is deserted., cleared, empty, containing neither chair nor table nor stooL It now appears that the Spanish ambassadors have all lived in furnished apartments for forty years. All the fixtures and movables belonged to a spec ulative upholsterer (misguided industrial); who has been paid ten times in the forty years ! He has made up his mind to remove the goods at last. The Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society has forwarded an address to the members of the Provisional Government in Spain, in which they express the desire that, while the great boon of political freedom is ac quired by the Spanish people, the still greater blessing of personal freedom at the same time be conceded to the slave population In Cuba and Porto Rico. Such an act, the committee think, would ennoble the new Government, and not only exalt it in the estimation of the people of England and France, but would bring Spain into sympathy with the other leading nations of the clyilized world; it would also, in all probability, stimulate Portugal and Brazil to follow so great an example. Withdrawal of the Papal Nuncio. The Papal Government has broken all official communication with Spain. The French Am bassador is officially intrusted with the interests of the. Spanish subjects in the Pontifical States. Tunnel Beneath' the English Channel. An address has been presented to the Emperor Napoleon by about one hundred influential Eng lish noblemen, M. PA, and other gentlemen,pray ing His Majesty to support the . project of a sub marine tunnel between England and France. The address is as follows: "To His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon the Third: Sire: We, the undersigned, subjects of her Most Gracious Majesty , the Queen of England, are informed that ,a committee of French and English gentlemen propose to ask your Ma jesty's support for the construction of a subma rine tunnel intended to connect the railways of England with thost3 of France, an. eminently de sirable work, which has become necessary to fa cilitate the social intercourse which has so rap idly increased ot, late years between the inhabi tants of the two countries, and for the development of • their trade and, commerce. .The realization . of this noble enterprise, by strengtheninethe bonds which unite two great peoples, will ,be of imams° advantage to both countries, untie memorable example of concord offered _to,_ other nations: We .have the most earnest wish for the speedY success of this fruit- P. ul work, and we hope tha t your Majesty will A Copperhead Falsehood.

IThe long promised Reformation Symphony by Mendelssohn,wea given to an immense audience at Musical Fund Hall on Saturday afternoon. Expectation ran very high, and nothing but su perlative excellence in the composition, and the beat interpretation of it, would have satisfied those who were present. It is quite certain that in both respects anticipation was fully realized; and it is simply fair to state that there is much doubt whether any musical entertainment of the kind, more entirely satisfactory, was ever given in this city. Of the Symphony It is not necessary to say a great deal. We have already published an analysis of it, and described its peculiarities, at length. It is. what a Symphony should be, an elaboration of an idefi; and in this case the theme is of the loftiest and most inspiring character. The composer has striven togive expression MlL bold and daring spirit of rengletts reform, chas tened by fervent Christian feeling; and around the grand pivotal thought he has clustered a mass of subtle and intricate harmonies, threaded with tenderly beautiful melody. The composition is a web of strongly emphasized lights and sha dows, which bring the diverse features out in bold and striking rel c lif i and tell the story with distinctness. The treats of the various shades of meaning are very decided, and their modulation into each other is conducted with the skilfulness that belongs only to a master's hand. There is fierceness melting into pathos; turbulence that precedes calm repose; anger that is merged in peace; and weird, unearthly discords which re solve into strains of tender sweetness. Every emotion suggested by the theme finds eloquent and adequate expression in the solemn grandeur of the opening andante; in the tumultuous pas sion of the succeeding allegro con fuoco; in the sparkling music of the allegro vivace, which breaks in upon the gloomy sub ject and brightens it as with radiant sun shine; in the hardly suggested melodies which ripple in intersecting waves over the surface,and lose their faint outlines in the sweeping current of the fast progressing harmonies; in the closing ' andante whose wonderful musicgives passionate expression to the conception of deep religious conviction, and in the midst of whichis discerned the Lutheran hymn, which gathers strength upon all sides, until it is built up to perfect symmetry by its absorPtion of the discordant elements, and sweeps over all obstacles at last in a grand tri umphant burst of harmony. This great Symphony deserves the enthusiastic praise with which it was announced; and it must hereafter be found in the repertoire of every lead er who attempts to cater to the taste of the re fined and educated , public.. But those who were fortunate enough to hear it on Saturday last,will not be satisfied with any poorer performance of it. Messrs. Sentz and Hassler fixed a standard at this concert which other musicians must reach or endanger their popularity. The orchestra on Saturday consisted of thirty eight or forty of the most accomplished artists that could be procured in this and other cities. The strings were in stronger force than ever be fore, and the instruments Were so well, balanced, SO held in perfect • control., that the nicest ear could not perceive anii - individual - preponder ance, or any deflection from accurate time. The performance was, in short, in every respect, of the best description, and we sincerely hdpe it may be repeated as soon as possible. Most of those who were present on Saturday, will be glad to listen to the Symphony now, when a sin gle hearing has enabled them to do so intelli gently; and there were many who were unable to get into the Hall at all, who deserve another opportunity. In this connection we intend to refer to a mat ter which has caused sincere regret among those who desire to encourage every attempt to,elevate the standard of musical performances in this city, and to cultivate a popular taste for the best class of compositions. Messrs. Bentz and Hassler were compelled to send to New York for six or eight performers before they could properly produce she Reformation Symphony, which had been pro mised. The reason of this was, not that compe tent musicians could not be procured here—we have plenty of them—but because, for some reason, there is a very unworthy opposition to Mr. Sentz's enterprise. To speak plainly, the Germania Orchestra has not treated Metiers. Sentz and Hassler generously. The Germania voluntarily abandoned Musical Fund Hall, and of its own free will determined to give its matindes upon Wednesday afternoons. Subsequent to this, Messrs. Bentz and Hassler fixed upon Saturday afternoon as the time for their concerts, and se lected Musical Fund Hall as the place. This left ell O cleat time between the two weekly enter tainments, and it gave Mr. Bentz an opportunity to secure, as be must do, musicians belonging to the Germania; while the Germania, if necessary upon occasions, could have drawn upon his or chestra. But the Germania effectually prevented this by determining to give concerts every Satur day afternoon when the members were not en gaged at theatrical or operatic matindes. Of course these gentlemen have an absolute right to dispose of their time and their services as they please, but they afford room for grave imynta don of their motive, in this matter. It is not right that Mr. Sentz should have to import play ers from another city when we have so much first rate ability here; and it is impossible to avoid the reflection that those who compel him to do so, are animated more by a spirit of unworthy jealousy than by a sincere desire to advance the interests of their art. We sincerely hope that the members of the Germania orchestra will take the correct view of the matter and determine that instead of rivalry between tie two organiza tions, there shall be sturdy mutual support and co-operation. It will be to the advantage of both parties to have "an era of good feeling" instituted at as early a day as possible. —We perceive that Mrs. Clara Fisher Mteder, of the Arch Street Theatre company, offers her services to young ladies who desire instruction in elocution and dramatic reading.
