NATURALIZATION REFORM!.
Congress assembles in a littlo more than a
fortnight, and one of the most important
topics which will occupy the attention of
the session will be the question of nat
uralization. The abases which have gradu
ally crept into the practical workings of the
existing laws have culminated,in the elections
of this year, in a series of frauds so outrage
ous in character and so wide-spread in their
extent, as to awaken universal interest in the
subject of a radical reform, not on:y in the
administration of the laws, bnt in the laws
themselves. It has become evident to
everybody that the present laws can
not be protected from abuse. In Phil
adelphia, in New York, in other large
cities, it has been abundantly demonstrated
that no fair election can be held. The legiti
mate vote of the people is openly over-ridden
by a thoroughly systematized rascality, by
which the certificate of citizenship is regu
larly manufactured and sold in large quanti
ties and almost without concealment, and
afterward used, not only to bestow the power
of suffrage upon the fraudulently naturalized
individual, but to cast numerous votes in the
names of fictitious or dead persons, whom
these papers are made to represent.
It is urged by some of the ablest legal minds
in the country that the present laws, if hon
estly enforced, are sufficient to protect us
against fraud. But whether this be so or
not in point of fact, it is very certain that
there is no longer a possibility of enforcing
them honestly. When a wilingness to wink
at the most flagrant departures from a strict
administration of law is evinced by the high
est tribunal of the State, how are we to hope
that the laws can or will be maintained by
the lower courts? Our lower courts
in this city are upright, fearless
and pure, and have, by their care
ful adherence to the letter and
spirit of the law, presented a con
trast which does not add any lustre to the er
mine of the Supreme Court. But what will it
avail if the righteous judgment of the lower
shall be carried up and reversed by the par
tisan decision of the upper court? Moreover,
there seems to be little or no protection
against the manufacturing of counterfeit
papers. The blank, the seal and the signa
ture can all be easily imitated, and so, Vale
the judge on the bench may be confetring
the rights of citizenship according to law,
some Chairman Wallace, coffee-pot in hand,
may be turning out spurious naturalization
papers by the ream, and cancelling the vote
of each honestly-made citizen by one of his
own bogus creation.
Under this state of affairs, for which we
are wholly indebted to the desperate demor
alization of the Democratic party, the exper
iment of American Republicanism trembles
in the balance between failure and success.
The power of the people to govern
themselves under our free institu
tions is submitted'ii to a crucial test.
They have proved their, ability to defend this
Union against the power of a gigantic rebel
lion, and in so doing have settled the ques
tion of any assault from abroad, in advance.
But the question has now come home prac
vlicalls Is the heart of this nation strong ,
enough, and pure enough, to withstand the
power of internal corruption ? Is this people
able to deliver itself from the temp
tation to violate its own laws for
the Bake of political power ? The
Democratic party, during the last twelve
years, has steadily sapped the foundations of
national virtue. It has lowered every standard
of public morals, and,while divesting itself of
even the outward semblances of political de
cency, its bad influence has been slowly but
surely extending itself over all classes of
American society. The people have insen
sibly become familiar with its odioutithaxims
and its dishonest practices, and, but for the
conserving power of a strong moral sense,
which still lies at the heart of the great masses,
there-weuld be a rapid increase in the appli- .
' .catton of these maxims and PraCtices to the
ordinary business and social affairs of every
day life.
Many remedies are now being suggested
tor this state of things. There is a general
conviction that our elections must be purified
or our institutions be confessed failures.
Congress is looked to as the proper source of
relief, and many schemes will be proposed,
looking to this end. Some of these schemes
are lisoild and impracticable. Some grasp at
far too much; others stop far short of prace
*Leal results.
The New York Tribune, with natural dis-
gust over the monstrous doings of the Hoff
man Democracy in New York, calls for a
Wean sweeping away of all probationary
laws, and advocates the naturalization of for
eigners without regard to the date of their
arrival in the country; hut withholds the right
of suffrage for eighteen mouths after naturati_
241L00., To this plan there are several ()bin-
tiona, It is needlessly liberal. It cheapens
American citizenship, which is cheap enough
already. Ali it ckepens - the - natural preja-
Jice which formed the essence of the Native
American wvement, IN. introducing a still
broader distinction in favor of the most igno
rant fo..,?igner who may land on our shores, •
Ind against the intelligent, nativa-born youth
who, at eighteen, is far more competent to
judge o; our political questions, than most
foreigners are after a five-years' residence.
One feature of this plan, however, contains
tho essential element of practical and Success
fu I reform. Whatever plan is adollted, it must
separate the right of suffrage from the other'
rights of citizenship, by an interval of time
sufficient to make it very unsafe for a politi
cal party to invest its money in procuring
naturalizations. When the Wallaces and
Rosenbergs of the Democratic or any other
party can march their new-made citizens
straight from the Supreme Court room to the
polls, they are willing to spend and be spent
very liberally for such certain results. But
they will not take much pains to procur
and pay for naturalizing citizens whose votes
cannot be cast for a year.
Herein seems to be the truest safe-guard,
and to apply it we suggest t following as
the most just and the most feasible plan
which we have yet heard submitted: Let the
rights of American citizenship be conferred
at the end of four years' residence,in the same
form and under the same qualifications as at
present, but reserving the single right of suf
frage until the completion of one year frith'
the date of the naturalization certificate. Let
the full record of eachitaturalization be accu
rately kept and officially published, which
willtprevent all tampering with the dates of
certificates. Let the naturalized citizen be
required to produce his certificate at every
general election, and the election officers be
required to endorse it with the date of the
election. These three provisions seem to
offer a good security against fraudulent natu
ralizations, altered certificates and "re
peaters." There are other precautions against
the frauds which are now perpetrated, to
which we shall refer hereafter. But these are
the main points . with which Congress will
have to do.
REVEJFIDY JOHNSON .-,ON THE KU
Mr. Reverdy. Johnson seems to have taken
final leave of his senses. Not content witn
humiliating his nation by affiliating with its
most violent enemies, and besmearing them
with maudlin sentiments and flattery, he has
appeared in the London newspapers as the
apologist of the Ku-Klux-Klaus, and other
murderous organizations which have drenched
the Southern States with the blood of loyal
men. One of the London journals having
published accounts of the reign of terror in
Texas, Mr. Johnson, upon the authority of
his former position aga United States Senator,
and his present position as American Min
ister, pronounced them false; while the
editor, knowing of what he spoke, added to
Mr. Johnson's humiliation by affirming the
reports true, and contradicting the Minister's
statement flatly. Those who have heretofore
questioned Mr. Johnson's sympathy for the
rebels and their lost cause, will
hardly venture to doubt now
that he entertains such a sentiment. His en
thusiasm for his friends has led him, not only
to make of himself an object of ridicule for
the people of both continents, but to stoop to
wicked and wanton misrepresentation of the
truth. When he says "there are not more
acts of violence in Texas than occur in either
of the other States, or in any other country,"
he tells an untruth, which is more culpable
because, in his boastea position as "former
United States Senator," he had information
to the contrary effect constantly poured in
upon him. The falsehood was so palpable,
that even an English editor, with his Ame
rican exchanges at hand, found it very easy
to refute his statements by publishing the de
tails of a dozen or more individual, well au
thenticated cases of outlawry that had taken
place in Texas. That an American minister
should be proved so devoid of honor, is a
mortification to his constituents.
It is time this weak, wicked old man was
brought home. We are tired of his follies,
his slanders against our people, and of his
biting with the great questions committed to
his care, Every new move made by him
brings fresh shame upon us. Why does not
Secretary Seward recall him? Re professes
to repudiate Reverdy Johnson's action; and
his own good name, as well as that of his
country,requires that he should put his profes
sion into practice. If Andrew Johnson's trea
sonable obstinacy is thedbstacle, the fact
had better be stated, and then we will know
exactly w here to place the responsibility. It
seems as if "parties by the name of Johnson"
are to be the curse of this nation.
SCPRfRIEL COUR a' FRAUDS.
It seems to be sufficiently plain that the
Snowden-Sharswood frauds were not con
fined to Philadelphia, but pat Mr. Wallace
i - Upplied not only the home' market, but his
demand from the interior from the main
establishment in this city. Developments in
Mr. Covode's district show that these natural
izatiOn papers, which Judge Sharswood
would have pass unchallenged at the polls
because they purport to bear the seal and sign
of his court, were used in large quantities at
the October election, by men who had not
been in Philadelphia for more than a year.
And yet these certificates bear date of Octo
tober 9th, 1868, four days before the election.
How does Judge Sharswood propose to get
over this dilemma? Will he claim that these
men were ever in or near his court ? Will
Col. Snowden pretend that he or his tip
staves ever went through the semblance of
administering any oath to these men? Or
will Judge Sharswo2tl : 43r : Col. Snowden
admit that these were' forged certificates?
These ignorant tools of Mr. Wallace live
three or four hundred miles from Philadel
phia, where theta papers purport to have
been executed, an they are dated four days
before the election. his was after public
attention had been thoroughly atoused, and
after Judge Sharswood . had resumed the form
of sitting in his court-robirciihile Col. Snow
den was , running his naturalization machine
under his judicial nose. This new case is, in
some respects, a more flagrant illustration of
the frauds of the Democracy than the Fourth
Ward itself, and Congress will do well to deal
with it as summarily as did our Return
Judges with .11dderman McMullin. If these
naturalizations are not nailed to the 03unter
now, they will pass permanently into our po
litical currency, and be foisted upon us at all
elections for generations to come; for a Dem
ocratic naturalization paper knows no limi
tation.

THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN—PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, NoYEkBER, 17; 1868. di
• The English newspapers bring us accounts
of a-small ecclesiastical row in Dresden. The
Americans, forming a majority of the con
gregation of the English Episcopal Church in
that city, wanted the minister to pray for the
President of the United States; but when he
attempted to do so, the English worshippers
interrupted him and stopped the service.
Finally they withdrew,
,and established an
other Church, at which the same scene oc
curred, and the clergyman was forced to
abandon the President to his fate. If this
matter was not disgraceful, it would be amus
ing. Probably no human being on the terrest
ma globe stands in greater need of the pray
ers of the righteous, than the present Presi
dent of the United States; and all devout
persons, whether Roman, Greek, Anglican,
or Mohammedan, who have any sympathy
for.fallen humanity, should be willing to re
member our public functionary In their devo
tions. But, upon the whole, we question
]fiery much if it would make any particular
difference to Mr. Johnson, either. temporally
or eternally, whether these English worthies
prayed for him or not. Certainly they did
not make objection because they con,sidered
him so superlatively good as to be entirely
beyond the necessity for intercession.
The tru,gg mason for their conduct
was,that sey hated him as the representative
of the American - people, and considered him
to be very far from immaculate. With such
a feeling rankling in their bloated aristocratic
breasts, they were quite as much in need of
remembrance in the prayers of their church
as Mr. Johnson was; and the ministers Would
have been exactly in the line of their duty if
they had clubbellthe lot and prayed for them
all en masse. Men who carry their preju
dices, their personal hatred,and their national
pride into their religion, have not half as cor
rect an idea of the meanine of religion as the
pagan who chops up a heretic into little bits
in front of tui idol, in order to send him
quickly into some peculiar Paradise or other.
II the Bishop of London, to whom the
matter has been referred, does not take our
view of the case, we shall havo,ka right to
conclude that he considers Christianity the
exclusive privilege of British subjects, and
holds the opinion that
.‘ a man must be an
Englishman to be numbered among the elect.
We do not believe he is such a bigot.
The Ledger proposes, this morning, that
the game laws shall lie made uniform through
out the United States, so that birds and other
game shall be protected during the same
period, in all places. This would be an
excellent plan if the birds would only agree
to stay in the same place. But how about
the reed-bird, who figures first as the bobo
link in New England; then tempts our palates
as he fattens on the Delaware reeds, and
turns up again, later in the season, as the
rice bird of the South, before he completes
his annual "round as the butter-bird of the
West Indies? Flow about the canvas-back,
king of all wild fowl? When shall we fix the
season that will find game in all parts of the
country fit to be killed on the same day? We
are in favor of a uniform election day, and a
uniform Thanksgiving Day, but a uniform
day for shooting game will be hard to deter
mine. Reed-birds, canvas-backs, and the
rest, are among the "moveable feasts" in the
American calendar.
We fear that our new District-Attorney
does not read his BULLETIN as regularly as he
should. If he did, he could not have over
looked our earnest petition to him to com
mence his prosecution of the deputy-sheriff
cases. We are waiting for him to dispose of
a few of the leading cases, such as that of
John Tobin, for instance, before we call his
attention to "a few more of the same sort."
Pray, gentle Sheppard, when is the prosecu
ting to begin ?

Lively Time Among the Broken
A PANIC IN " ERIE."
Of the excitement in New York financial circles
the Herald of this morning says:
To-day has been a very excited one in Wall
street and revives reminiscences of the great liar
lem and "Prairie Dog" "corners" and the At.antio
Mali "drop." The features of business were gold
and Erie, upon whose manipulation hinged thd
doings of the whole day Erie, Erie, after the sudden
advance of Saturday night and through an utter
absence of any knowledge upon which to base
its value, fluctuated violently between 48j and
61. In gold the hulls produced a "squeeze even
more severe than that which was experienced
about six weeks ago. The price was run up to
187, rather than pay which some of the "shorts"
borrowed gold at the excessive interest of one
cent per day.
The transactions on the sleet in the half-hour
before ten o'clock were wildly irregular. Erie,
which concentrated the earliest business, opened
at 53@54, but was rapidly run up to 61. How
much of that peculiar process known as "wash
ing" was done it is impossible to say, but that it
was practised during the day is freely eharged.
Recourse to such bogus sales show how demoral
izing is the tendency of speculation. At this late
ter highest figure those "long" of the stock began
to unload, and, although there were intermediate
sudden and large reactions, the price had de
scended to 483.6 by one o'clock in the afternoon.
As far as it soossible to discover through the
confusion of the hour, and as near as may be
gathered from4he dozen flying rumors that agi
tate the street, it appears that the . present
great combination of "bears" who so swavisafully
broke - the market by a steady and persistent ef
fort became disintegrated as all large bodies will
when there comes a division of the spoils.
Bence, after the compact ] which 'kept them to
gether se long, had been fulfilled by the running
of Erie down to the vicinity of 35, a small fae
-lion parted — company - and - Jaded with - an
ex-director of the road, who, as well as a num
ber of "bear" houses, were discovered to be
"short" of the stock. This condition of things
afforded a fine opportunity' for a nice little piece
of financial strategy and revenge. The great
clique entered into an alliance with the North-.
western party, offensive and defensive, covered
on both stocks and sent the prices of Erie to a
Ileum which produced the utmost consternation,
if it has not so affected some houses as to create
apprehensions for their stability. Two failures
are reported already, and two or three more are
whispered on the street. One failure was of a
small stock-broking firm, doing business on
the "wild-cat" system of very small margins.
Their bankruptcy has embarrassed one of
the members of the open board, who was indi
rectly connected with them. Stocks were bought
in for him under the rule, but the insolvency is
not as yet asserted.. The cause of the failure
was a "short" venture in New York Central.
The alliance, although eminently successful in
advancing Erie, was not so successful with North
westeru,whicb remained stubborn in the vicinity
of 85 to 87 . The impetus given to Erie reached
the rest of the stock list at the session of the first
open board at 10 o'clock, the transactions embra
cing about 80,000 shares,nearly one-half of which
were Erie. The dealings in New Fork Central
and Erie together constituted one-half of the busi
ness of the session if not of the whole day. The
"bulls," who benefited so largely by the change
of tactics on the part of their late opponents, the
great bear clique, were jubilant in the extreme.
From the fact that no new contracts for "short"
sales of Erie were put forth during the day it is
evident that the combination are "long" of the
stock again at the declined prices of the after
noon, or intend abandoning it for the present.
The feeling in the gold room was hardly less
excited than in the stock market over a "squeeze"
produced by a "locking up" of gold by the same
parties, as far as can be ascertained, who so suc
cessfully tied up currency a month ago. It seems
to be the same kind of strategy transferred to a
different field of . operations. They began last
Fridayi,o_buy. and. _p_ntsway_gold,_just...at_ the
time, it will be remembered, that new threats of
locking up greenbacks broke the stock market,
and gold was cheapest. The first effect of this
withdrawal was felt on Saturday, when the price
hardened and closed at the highest figure of, the
week. Gold opened on the street at
1363, with sales as high as 136% before the regu
lar commencement of.bresiness. It opened in the
room at L 3 5 1,4, and an attempt to " unload " at
this figure ran down the price so suddenly that
the parties in control discontinued selling, which
they could well afford to do, as the premium was
still one per cent. better than when they bought,
while for this cash metal they were obtaining in
terest at rates varying from-one-eighth- to- three
fourths of one per cent. per diem. The effect of
this strategy was witnessed in the subsequent rise
of the premium during the afternoon until it
touched 87, the highest point it attained during
the day. The range in price is shown in the
table :
10 A. M., 135%11.30 P. M 136%

Subsequent to the adjournment the board deal
ings were continued until half past five o'clock,
when the quotation was 1383-4V136%. The
"squeeze" produced so much scarcity of cask
gold that borrowers paid as high as one per cent.
per day in the room, while the transactions on

quarter.' One-eighth was bid at five o'clock for
to-morrow. These high rates show a belief on
the part of the "shorts" that the premium will
come down within a day or two, and hence their
willingness to pity such extravagant interest in
preference to covering at the present high price.
The gross, clearings at the Gold Exchange Bank
were $177,483,000, the gold balances $6,954,082
and the currency balances $9,817,976.
A Forgery Branded,
To the Editor of the New York Triblvie : Sir—
On my return home from the session of Nov.-10,
I find nearly a hundred Democratic papers from
all sections of the Union, sent me by- friends,
containing a vile and scurrilous speech against
foreigners, said to have been delivered by
me in 1854 or 1855, and which appearB to
have been published, simultaneously and
by concert, North and South, East and. West, is
the closing weeks of the recent canvass.
I need not refer to this wicked and malignant
libel, now that the election is over, were it not
that, having been so extensively published, froth
Maine to Nebraska, and vouched for as authentic
by editors who were supposed to value their elm-
racier for veracity, some honest persons of one
party or the other, whose good opinions I value,
might suppose It possibly. true,
Allow me, therefore, to say, as I did publicly In
month s State last onth, when-this calumny:against
first'appeare.d, that it is, its every word and
syllable. aforgery; that I never uttered such senti
ments in 1854, nor in : any other year, and that the
vulgar and scurrilous langthige embodied in it
never fell from my lips, nor, were Written by my
pen, fn that or any other connection, on that or
any other theme. ,
Precisely this eagle speech was printed by the
Democratic papers in this State a number of
years ago, and then attributed to Mr. Wilson,
who was a Republican candidate for Congress;
but, having been thus used with effect one cam
paig-n, it was revamped In the recent canvass,
with my name attached to it, by the same editors,
every on* of whom knew thatilt was impossible
for mo to use such vile language in a speech on
any subject.
It will doubtless be used against, some other
Republican candidate hereafter; and I hare felt it
therefore a duty to expose its history sand its
falsity. Your truly, '

OBITUARY.
Baron James Rothschild.
The death of Baron James Rothschild at Parts .
on Sunday, is announced by a cable despatch.
Re was the head of the French branch of the
great European banking-house of. the Refits
childs, and the youngest and only surviving son
of the 'founder of the house—Mayer Ansel&
Rothschild, of Frankfort-on-the-Main.
With the Baron James the second generation
of this great family of money-lenders, so often
the prop of tiunbling thrones, the ready succors
of exbansted treasuries, has passed away. There
were five eons, who were taken into the "House
of Rothschild" by the founder as fast as they be
came of age. These were Anselm, 'Solomon, Na
than Mayer, Charles and James. Anselm was his
limber's partner and successor at Frankfort; the
second son, at first traveling partner, and was
eventually established at Vienna; Nathan Mayer
settled In London In 1798, and became the moat
prominent, as he was generally deemed the
ablest financier of the family; Charles settled nt
Naples in 1821; and James after being awhile
with his brother in Vienna, established - himself
in Paris. Thus, when the father, Mayer Anselm,
died, his eons bad increased the Influence of the
house, and stood at the head of five immense es
tabliehmente, united in a copartnership the
most wealthy and extensive the world had over
seen.
James was born in Frankfort on the 6th of
May, 1792, and took up his residence .in Paris in
1812. A few years later he was appointed Consul-
General for Austria in France. During the early
years of his lite in the French Empire lie was in
terested in railroad affairs to a great extent, and
was noted for the boldness of his speculations.
After the great famine of 1847 he was charged
with tavingtansed much of the suffering of that
time by his transactions, and became very un
popular with the people, so that In 1848, when
the revolution broke out, a portion of his
property, the Castle of Bnresnes, was sacked
by the populace. lie was married v
late in life, to his niece, the daughter of his
brother Solomon. He founded several Jewish
charitable institutions during his life, and gave
large sums of money at various times to other
like institutions. In Paris he was known on ac
count of his frequent.dealings with crowned
heads, as "i.e preteur des rola," "The Kings'
money-lender."
Ills title of Baron was received from Austria.
The Anstnan Emperor conferred on eaeb of the
brothers a patent of nobility with the title of
Baron of the Empire, on account of the prompt•
nets and courtesy with which they responded
to Metternich's application for a loan in 1813.
The King of Siam.
Chao Pha Monzkont, King of Slam, is dead.
He was born about 1805, and was aged 20 years
when ,his father, nen Din Kiang, expired.
Though really entitled to the Crown, as eldest
son of the Queen, ho was depriva'of it by a
brother who was older than he, but was the
son of a woman of inferior rank. Instead of
struggling for his rights, he quietly became a
Buddhist monk and entered upon a comprehen
sive course. of studies. In 1859, Pha Chao
Prosat Thung, the then occupant of the throne,
died, and the Siamese grandees being unwilling
to recognize any one of his sons as the lawful
heir to the sceptre, Cha Pha Mongkout
was chosen to replacethe — deeet - znon - arch.
Once Chao Pha Mongkont installed as ruler, im
portant reforms were effected. The troops of the
Kingdom were organized in accordance with Eu
ropean systems, a royal printing office was
opened, and religious liberty was proclaimed
throughout the land. Soon afterward (in 1855)
a commercial treaty was drawn up, at his sugges
tion; with Great Britain. and in 1856 representa
tives of the French and American Governments
signed similar documents. The late Sovereign
was an intelligent and educated man. He spoke
English, French, Latin and Sanscrit, and pos
sesbed a tho; ough knowledge of the sciences, and
liras especially well versed and most deeply in
ested in Astronomy. His brother, born to
wan:1.1820; will no doubt succeed him.
CRIME.
Robbery of a Railway Passenger.
The Pittsburgh Commercial of yesterday says:
A heavy robbery is reported to have occurred
on the" Fast Line" on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
while on the way west on Saturday night. At
Indiana Station, M. H. Shannon, a merchant of
Brookville, Jefferson connty,got aboard the train,
having in his possession about $6,000 in green
backs and bonds. The money was in Mr. Shan
non's outside breast pocket, and the ends pro
truded from a pass-book, in which it was placed.
After leaving the Junction Mr. Shannon
examined his pocket, and finding the
money all right laid down in, his
seat and took a nap. How long he slept he was
unable to tell, but when he 'awoke, he alleges the
lamps in the car were turned gown very low, and
every passenger appeared to sW asleep. He after
wards ascertained that the train was at Greens
burg, and after feeling in his pocket and satisfy
ing himself that his book was all right, again
fixed himself for another nap. He would have
asked the meaning of ttie lamps being turned
down but there seemed to be no one awake, and
he went to sleep. When the train arrived at the
Union Depot at 1.50 o'clock Sunday morning, Mr.
Shannon arose to go out, when he discovered
that Nis pocket — had been cut and the money
taken out of the book. Several passengers had
already alighted from the train and it was there
fore useless for him to make known the loss. He
immediately called to recollection the condition
of the lamps in the car when he awoke at Greens
burg and believes the money was stolen between
the Junction and that point. He was thrown off
his guard at Greensburg when he found the book
in his pocket, never thinking for a moment that
any one would have taken the money, without
also taking the book. Mr. Shannon put up at
the St. Clair Hotel, and yesterday morning called
at the Mayor's office, made known his loss to the
Mayor, and furnished a description of the /oat
money.

Report of the Chief Engineer of the Army
Report 01 the Chief of Army Mogi-
[Special Despatch to tlie4hilo. Evening BAiniiii.]
WasurnoTon, Nov. 17.—The annual report of
General A. A. Humphreys, Chief Engineer of the
army, for the fiscal year ending the 30th of Juno
last, has been submitted to the Secretary of War.
It is the most voluminonsof all the Bureau re
ports. The report proper covers two hundred
and forty pages manuscript, and the accomp a-
Dying sub-reports increase its size twenty fold.
General Humphreys says the number of officers
in the corps of engineers at the end of the Year
was one hundred and fourteen on the active list
and five retired. He rept:iris that material pro
grese has been made during the year
upon those portions of the sea
coast and lake frontier defences not
affected by the questions respecting the in
creased use to be made of iron in covering and
protecting guns, gunners and scarfs against the
action of projectiles of very large calibre, served
from armored batteries, and he thinks this spe
cial question of armor exacts deliberate and pro
longed examination. The restoration of forts
on the Southern sea coast has been
continued, • and a large portion of
the defences of New. Orleans, Mobile
and Pensacola have been placed again in a con
dition for use. The Board of Engineers,of which
General B. S. Alexander Is presiding member,
have bad under consideration the subject of
the defences of the Pacifier coast,
and have selected sites for works,
directed their survey, &c. Special experiments
are progress with enlarged artillery for sea
coast batteries and the protection of forts againtit
such attacks. Experiments with steel projec
tiles of various forms, and plates of iron and
steel, have been carried on with interesting
results. Concerning the laws of thepene
tration of solid wrought iron --pious,
laminated platings, combinations of wrought and
chilled cast iron, of cast and, rolled Bessemer
steel, of penetration in sand, and the effect of dif
ferent forms of head upon the penetrating power
of projectiles, have been carried on, but without
reaching the desired conclusion. Other
experiments in projectiles and cover
ing are in progress, as well as ' the
investigation Into the devices for al
lowing barette guns to descend under cover of
the parapet, including Captain Moncrieffe's
counterpoise barbette carriage recently experi
mented with at Shoeburyness, and which is
claimed by the English artillerists to be a success
ful solution of the problem.
General Humphreys says his estimates for the
sea board defences for the fiscal year ensuing are
based upon a very moderate progress in the de
fences, and strongly urges that the appropria
tions asked for be made. The whole amount
asked for these purpotes is $2,455,500, Including
the following items : Fort Mifilin,Delaware river,
Pa., $35.000; Fort Delaware, Delaware river,
Pa., $70,000 ; Fort Monroe, Old Point Comfort,
Appropriations Va. , $lOO,OO0 Appropriations are recom
mended for the forts on the Southern coast,
amounting to $624,500 ; for forte on the
Pacific Coast, $500,000 ; for - barracks
at engineer posts and depots, $36,000. General
Humphreys says that the contractors on the river
and harbor improvements very frequently fail to
comply with their contracts, especially unless
they are gr-Atly to the advantage of
the contractor. A change in the mode of
procedure is recommended, and it is
advised that authority be granted to
the engineers in charge of these works to pur
chase the material in open market, and employ
labor by the day, in cases where the contractors
fail in their contracts ; as experience has proved
the system of contracts prescribed in the appro
priatuaLacts_to_be the worst ,possible mode of
carrying on the improvements of the rivers and
harbors. Gen. Humphreys submits an estimate
showing the amount required to complete the
various improvements, and also the amount
which can be profitably expended during the
next fiscal year. The appropriations asked for
under the latter head amount to $6,238,088, in
cluding the following items ; Improvements of
the Patapsco ri ver, Md., $108,000; ImproVements
of the Susquehanna river, $50.000; Delaware
bay, $6,000,• Hudson river, $16,000; East river,
New York Harbor, $415,000; to complete the
Washington aqueduct, D. C., $6155,000; Survey
of the Northwestern lakes, $165,000; Surveys for
military defences, $200,000. Gen. Humphreys
submits numerous reports of surveys of rivers
and harbors, including that of a ship-canal
around the falls of Niagara, the cost of which is
estimated at $12,000,000.

2HE WOHAN QUESTION
Appeal for Equal Suffrage.
A card in behalf of the Woman's Suffrage Associa
tion of America we publish to-day in the Revolution,
and issued on sheets for circulation and signature, a
form of petition to Congress In behalf of equal suffrage
throughout the country for men and women. IL will
be remembered in August last, we made similar ap
peal, limited at that time to the District of C olumbia.
We are now assured that at the opening of Congress
next month a vigorous movement will be made "for a
constitutional amendment providing for universal
manhood suffrage In all the States." We now wish to
press our demand that tcomanhood also be recognized
in the proposed enlargement of suffrage and citizen
ship. Woman's capacity to participate in the affairs
of government is no longer questioned among honest
and intelligent men. It is a fearful satire anol slander
to question it in presence of hundreds of thousands of
male voters; North South, East, and West, of many
.
colors and races,who do not know even the alphabet of
any human language under heaven. That woman is
taxed equally with man on her property and earnings,
and held amenable to every law
_• t hatnhe is puniehed
by ones, imprisonments and - death, is equally well
known and admitted. And it is farther satire and
slander of both her intellectual and moral sense to say
that under such circumstances she does not wish to
vote. Fear may at times induce her to say she does
not, as slaves would deny in presence of their masters
that they wished to be free. But they did not deny it
to General Sherman as,his bugles sounded their eman
cipation over the southern plains from Chattanooga to
Charleston. As a member of the body social and - po
litic, woman is bound, too, not as a right alone bat as
en ohligation,in every way to guard its interests and to
seek its welfare. Woman was not always admitted to
full membership in the church. Now she is solemnly
urged 10 unite with it as a duty, if not as a privilege.
Certainly no less, and for even better reasons, it is her
duty to be an active power in the government of her
country. The present is the most favorable oppor
tunity ever presented to press the obligation upon
woman, and upon man also, who hvlorce. withholds
from-her her natnrali - diAlnieasil - -itie'st.ingeliV
ablerighta. - We, therefore, present to=day with Inn.
Silence as well as hope, this earnest appeal. We shall
distribute the form of petition as widely as possible.
Any pefeons wishing it, bat who do not receive
it immediately, are earnestly desired to copy
from the Revolution, or send to our headquarters for a
supply. Let no time be lost. Let every man, woman
and child even, old enough to co-operate, and whose
heart lain the cause, lend a helping hand in circula
ting these petitions. Become self-constituted commit
tees for the good work. Watt for no appointment,'no
helpers, even. One, with a settled, sanctified purpose,
laboring in the interests of truth and justice, becomes
a host. Thus Brined and commissioned, one shall
chase a tbousand,and two put ten thousand to flight.
Tbeee are the days of mighty energy and activity, in
every department of human effort. Let ns not mistake
nor be behind our tthae. We work for no one nation,
no one generation. Our canoe is complensnrate with
humanity; wide as all habitable space, lasting as all
time. Let ns appreciate our Sublime calling, and act
in all things worthy of it thereof.
In behalf of the Woman's Suffrage Association of
America.

THE TWENTY-FOURTH WARD HOMICIDE.
Coroner Daniels Will hold an inquest this after
noon, upon the body of William Mclileve, whose
death from the effects of -a blow from a stone
was announced In the BULLETIN of yesterday.
It appears that on Sunday afternoon, about live
o'clock, Mr. McKieve and several friends were
passing along Lancaster avenue, and when at
Thirty-ninth street Mr. McKieve was jostled by
one of''a party of young men who seemed to be
intoxicated and desirous of picking a quarrel.
Mr. McKieve remonstrated, and finally pushed
one of the men into the street. He was then
struck with a club and knocked down. Jos.
Hart, it is alleged, then threw a stone, which
struck him on the bead, and the others of the
party then beat and kicked him. Mr. McKieve
was rescued by his friends and taken to the house
ifo Lewis List, where ho was attended by several
hysicians. One of the wounds on the left side
his bead was of a severe character. After some
time a piece of brick was extracted from this
wound. McKieve was then conveyed to his
home, 8051 Ludlow street, where he died yester
day morning. He was 45 years of age, and leaves
a widow and five children.
Hart, as has already been stated in the BuLtat
mr, was arrested, and during yesterday the Six
teenth District Police captured nearly all of the
others who are alleged to have been concerned In
the outrageous affair. The names and ages of
the prisoners are: Henry Luatz, aged 18 years;
Levi Stites, aged 19 years; John Dougherty, aged
19 years; John Baxter, aged 17 years; John
Morris, aged 20 years, and George Young, aged
18 years. The accused were committed to await
the result of the Coroner's investigation.
THE COURTS.
VASTER SESSIONS—Judge Peirce.—This morning the
following 4 opinion was delivered in the care of the Re
corder, involving a queoNon of the production of the bal.
locboxes:
-- - .
By the act of May 1. 1261. the Mayor and Recorder of
the City of Philadelphia /a re made the custodians of the
ballot-boxes after the et4ctions held in said city, which
they are required to deprait in a fire-proof room, or v
Provided for that purpose, and they are prohibited from
taking or opening or permitting to be taken or opened,
any ballet.box deposited as aforesaid for the apace of one
ear alter the same has been deposited therein, exe. pt
rs hen they shall be called upon by some court or other
hit unal authorized to try the merits of Bitch election.
'1 he object of this law la to preserve the ballot- bares
and votes and papers therein contained inviolate,
to be used, 11 required, in determining the merits
of the election in which the ballots were
cast. There does not appear to be any provision In
the law for trying the merits of the creation for Presiden
tial Electors, yet in the case of an unlawful election the
Legislature could provide by law Si mode of trying ita
me rite even after the election had been held, and there
is, therefore, the same necessity for the preservation of
the ballots as in other eases. Ihe means tvriteh the Le
gislature bee devised for the preservation of the ballots
shows the importance attached to their safe-keeping.
The law regards the epstody of the ballot-oozes sta
trust of the highest character, requiring the return In
spectors of the election themselves to deposit thorn with
the officers appointed as their custodians, who are to be
present in person to receive them ,and to deposit them
in a fire proof room or vault
if they are subject to be produced upon a subparna
ducestecum issued by an Alderman or Jueticel of the
Pt ace, then the law itself may be frustrated by the risks
and perils of transit from place to place. and by the op
portunities a hich would offer for illegal and improper in
terference with them and their contents. And if this
were not so, the suspicion which would attach to the
ready. and perhaps frequent access to them, would de
stroy confidence in the sacredness and value which is at
tached to their safe keeping. After consultation with
my brethren of the Bench, we are of opinion that !hie
cannot be done: that it would be a violation of the pro.
tection which the law throws around these boxes, and,
therefore. a violation of the law itself.
. . .
WO do further however, to be understoa
Peaceeciding
rnythingthan that Justices of the and Al.
dermen cannot compel the production of these boxes in a
proceeding before them. The superior tribunal of the
law, by virtue of the-powers-existing- in-them when ne
cessetry to the administration of public justice, may com
pel their prodncttcn in proceedings before them tinder
such guard and protection as will insute their safety.
This is necessary to prevent a failure of justice, and is
not prohibited by the act in question. To the contrary.
the set requires their production before these tribunals
when the merits of an elm' ion are on trial and the Juris
diction of the Court to compel their production in other
cases. We do - not think it at all brought in question or
prohibited by the language of the aet. The relator, who
was attached for contempt of the process of the Alderman
in refusing to obey the writ of aubpcena duces tecum, is
therefore disch nixed out of custody.
Wiliam Jones pleaded guilty to a charge of larceny.
James Smith was charged with committing an assault
and battery upon his wife The parties are quite young
and the wife alleged that in the first month of her married
life her husband choked her. Ho denied the charge.
