Memorial ' from the Union Learns Club
Concerning the Naturalisation Laws,
The Union League Club has lately ap-
pointea a committee, of which the Hon.. K.
C. Hawkins ts Chairman, and Col. Granville
P. Harris Secretary, to memorialize Congress
for such 'a change io the naturalization luws
as will prevent future frauds, and to enact a
general law on the subject. The memorial
of which the following is a copy, is now in
circulation throughout the country, and we
trust all good citizens, without distinction Of
party will give it their support :
lo tlit JlonoraNe,ti Utigres$ of thn Cnucit blatti:
lour petitioners, cttizons or the urn tea
States, native and naturalized, respectfully
represent : That it is alleged and generally
believed, and aa we are convinced can be
clearly proved, that for some years past, and
especially in the recent olection, groes frauds
have been perpetrated upon the suurago, by
the naturalization of persons not entitled to
citizenBhiD accordinsto law, and upon evi
deuce manifestly lulse and fra'dulent, by the
issue of certificates of naturalization in blank,
or to other persons than those whose names
are inserted : and by forgery and falsification
of such certificates, and a corrupt and wicked
use of the powers of State Courts and their
officers in this matter. Every good citizen
abhors such acta as grievous, crimes against
the safety of the commonwealth and the lib
erty of the people. We believe that the ex
isting laws on tho subject of naturalization
are inadequate effectually to prevent or pun
ish these crimes, and we ask that they should
be revised and mude -more efficient.
We respectfully ask your honorable body in
your wisdom to frame or enact a law or laws :
1. Which shall restrict the power o I con
ferring the citizenship of the United States
to tbe (Jourts of tbe Luitea states ; or,
where these Courts are not as accessible as
tribunals possessing this power should always
be to the worthy emigrant, to officers of the
U mted States, such tor example, as the regis
ters in Bankruptcy, who can be round in
any Congressional District, and may be re
am red to hold sessions in each county.
2. Which shall require of all persons the
record in the Courts and in the office of the
Secretary of State, of the declaration of an
intention and the application to become a
citizen, a certaiu period of of time before
naturalization, and forbidding any other
proof of such doclaration or the period of
residence in tne country except sucu retuiu.
3 Which shall provide for the publica-
i;n a." thn names and residences, aud de
scription o! all persons declaring their in
tentions. and ot all persons to be naturalized
u..n nnv citizen to appear in
open court in order to contest the-rightof any
such person to naturalizfttuJ.i uow or Ul
nft.pr Irrmrrvnurlff o-ranted.i
4. Which shall provide for the elTuCtual
pun:shmect ot all persons wno ate.conuerneu
in any torgery, or irauu in maKiu, omaiu
ing, or using any false or wrongful Order or
certificate of naturalization.
, 5. Which shall declare nail nnd void every
certificate or order of naturalization hereto
fore tnade in fraud, or in violation of the
existing law, and shall make it a felony for
any person to utter or use iu way such order
or certificate.
6. And inasmuch as the acts of naturali
zation now in force were passed at various
times, and doubts exist as to tbe effect of
some of them we submit' that a general act
is expedient, in which tbe whole law on the
subject shall be embodied and clearly ex
pressed. And vour petitioners respectfully refer to
the" act of 1802, passed during the Adminis
tration of Thomas Jefferson, and repeated
until 1828, for the outline of such a system
of registration of persons applying to be
come citizens, as we pray you to restore.
A Pkk Portrait of Jftts. Jkffersox Da
vis. In his forthcoming book on Mr. Davis
Mr. E. A. PollurJ writes as follows of Mrs.
Davis, during confederate days in Richmond:
Mrs. Davis was a brawny, able-bodied
woman, who bad much more of masculine
mettle than of femiuiue grace; her complex
ion was tawny, even to the poiut ot mulutto
ism; a woman loud and coarse in her man
ners, full or social sen-assertion, not tne one
of her sex who would have been supposed to
win the confidence of a delicate man like
Mr. Davis whimsical in his health, a vic
tim of "nerves" nice and morbid iu his so
cial tastes although she might well have
conquered the submission ot such a creature
by the force of her character. Mr. Davis
deferred to her in the social regulations she
would impose upon Kicbmoud. she deman
ded the etiquette of Washington, that the
President lady should return no cans, one
introduced what was unknown iu Richmond
liveried servants; and vhea every horse
was impressed in the military service, the
citizens forced to eo on foot remarked with
some disdain the elegant eqnipage of Mrs.
Da' .s, that paused much more time oeiore
the shops of Main street than the aristocrat
ic residences of Grace and Franklin.

The mestage commends tbe education of the
masses to the fostering care of tbe Legislature
and gives tbe prominent facts In relation to the
progress mado ' by the common schools of the
Commonwealth.
The department of Soldiers' Orphans is refer
red to, and a liberal support for this department
is suggested.
The Agricultural College is mentioned, and
the instruction there imparted is commended,
and parents desirous of securing tbe benefits
which arise from this svstem are recommended
to patronize it. Tbe college now owns three
model and experimental farms, one in Centre,
one in Chester, and one in Indiana county,
. Tbe messngo recommends the passage of a law
laying a tux upon tnose name to military duty,
and who are not members ot some military or
ganisation, similar to that now in force in Phila
delphia, for the purpose of building up an eth
cient military organization in the State. There
are now 77 volunteer military companies in the
State, and others are making preparations fur
organization.
Tho military State Agency at Washington
coased to exist on the 21st of July, and tbe
books and papers of that office have loen trans-
ferred to tbe Adjuant General's office. -
The enactment of a Registry law is earnostly
advocated, and this important suggestion can-
not fail to receive prompt attention at tho hands
of the Legislature.
Tho revision of tbe civil codo Is being actively
prosecuted, and it is expected to be completed
within the lime prescribed. -
' The establishment of - an Insurance Depart
ment is again recommended, and its necessity
(ully demonstrated. When it is remembered that
tbe District Attorney of Philadelphia, last year
charged tho Stale over $30,000 for looking after
Insurance Companies, the urgent need of a mea
sure of this kind will be fully appreciated.
The necessity for a department of statistics Is
recognized, and the Legislature is asked to mako
provisions for such a bureau. The suggestion is
a good ono, and should be acted upon without
delay. The decease of lion. Tbaddeus Stevens
and Darwin A. Finney is appropriately referred
to. and a list of the pardons granted is furnished.
The message closes wun some pertinent oo-
servations on the state of the country. Themes-
sage on the wnoie is clear ana concise, nut com-
preheusive and in every
respect satisfactory to
the people.

In x- IIobm. One Christmas day, some
years ago, some rather lust young leuows
hired a horse from a livery stable iu the town

covered from the effects of the ride, and the
liverv man sued the rider for tho valuo of
him. The lawyer for the plaintiff was an
ox-iudge. He was a good lawyer, but fond
of uu toddy, lie was trying to prove oy

v t The Mfllloalxe 'Artist. V i
A Faria paper has the following very
pretty story. ' -
M. ltobeic, an immensely wealthy ami
highly accomplished gentleman, well
known not only for bis valuable collections
of paintings and mediamal relics, but for
his rare skill as a designer and painter,
hearing that one of his tenants, M.
Villars, whom he had never Rcen, kept
one of tbe most extensive establishments
of fancy boxes and ornamontal objects in
t ranee, cauea on mm with a view to
make his acquaintance.
Entering the counting house, he found
a good nattired eocentrio gentleman of
middle age, who greeted nim, and ex
claimed: " I suppose that you bIbo have
seen my advertisement, aud have come
to apply for that situation as designer t "
r or a jone, on. KODeri replied ne naa,
M. Villars supplied him with paints and
brushes, and requested him to produce a
casket M. Robert soon found that what
M. Villars really wanted was an artist who
would strictly carry out his own ideas, and
that these were pure, and formed on an ex
tensive knowledge of art In a short
time he produced a sketch which suited
tbe employer to nicety.
M. Kobert very gravely engaced him
selt; exacted good wages, and insisted on
having several new articles of lurntture
bought and placed in the room assigned
to him. But when he was introduced to
the work rooms, and found 150 girls,
many of them young and beautiful, busily
employed, and was informed that he
would be required to furnish them with
designs, and show the young women
how they were to be carried out, the
young artist began to feel as if he should
have to be carried out himself being
very susceptible
Working tor a living," said he to
himself, " is not entirely devoid ot attrac
tions. JLet us work.'
M. Robert being an accomplished ar
tist, delighted his employer, and he soon
found a remarkable tacination in seeing
his designs realized in steel, silver, enamel
or WOod. He took a pleasure, hitherto
unknown, in seeing his works in shop
windows, and finding them in the abodes
of his friends. Tho work-shop life was,
of course, kept carefully concealed from
society j ' nor did his employer suspect
that his artist was his landlord, liut M
Robert soon found a more intense object
of facination in the daughter ot il
Villars, a young lady who also took part
in the duties ot the tactory. 1 he damsel
was as remarkable for her accomplish
ments as for her extraordinary beauty
and M. Robert soon found that as regard
ed taste and culture in all matters which
specially interested him, he bad never
met any ouo like her. step ny step, ine

Previous to the marriage the old gen
tleman one day spoke of a dowry
And "I suppose," added M. Robert
gravely " that I, too, must settle some
thing on my wife. Well, I will.
This caused a peal of langbter, which

said : " You seem to forset that I am

This was a macniticant weddinc:, but the

Pennsylvania Finances.
No State stands lusher, financially, than
the Stato of Peunsvlvauia whilo under the
administration of John W. Ooary.
The New York True Democrat, in a very
able editorial on this subject, says:
'The State debt has been decreased the
past year two millions, four hundred and
fourteen thousand, eight hundred and. six-
i tVUI Wt;U kUUUOUIllll lILUV
teeQ t,0,ar9 nad sixty.four cent8 (2,414,816,
M j This speaks well for the management
of our nuances, aud relutes the charges
of extravagance so frequently made by tbe
Democratic oracles aud organs. The State
debt bos steadily decreased since the Repub
can party hes controlled the Stato, notwith
standing the fact of the burdens entailed by
a great war, involving ths necessity for rais
ing vast sums of mouey to sustain tho gen
eral government
"The Democracy have charged, times with
out number, that 'tho. Republican policy
would lead the Stato into bankruptcy and tho
people to ruin. The debt continually in
creased while the Doinocracy were in power,
uud has steadily decreased since they nave
ceased to control the State. Republican
theories may all bo wrong, and Democratic
theories may be mathematically correct ; but
the practical part of these theories seems to
favor the llepubiican idea and to De iu oppo
sition to the Democratic doctrine. While
we are gradually paying the debt and mak
ing it less every year, taxpayers will do well
to make no change. If a man has a compe
tent business muu ia his employ, he should
retain him, and not discharge him to make
room for another whose quulifiications and
integrity are both in doubt.
"The Democratic party under James
Buchanan. , in time of profound peace, in
creased the national debt at tbe rate of fif
teen millious a' year. They-hav steadily
and feurfullv increased the expenses of New
York city ju tboir rapacity for plunder, and
which some day will have to be settled aud
adjusted through the agency of a Vigilance
Committee. They nearly swamped this Com
monwealth by a huge debt,, and their man
agement of flnanciul matters iu York county
is characteristic or the tendency ot the Ue
mocracy to extravagance."
We snppse our friend Chase fully compre-
Lends the meaning of what, he says about
"Democratio economy," as the "time-hon
ored Democracy" seem to have a life lease
on the good city of York. We can but
encourage him to "fight it out on that line,' 1
ap -
bcy b the column. -
A xw way of collecting a bad debt was
most effectively tried in the Rue de la Seino,
n 1'nris, before tho lodging oi a somewnai
isslpated sttidont. A man was observed
walking np and down before the house, hav

words: '..! , .

A wtrs wanted her husband to sympathize

fused, saying, "I've lived long enough to
learn that ouo woman's just as good as an
other, if not bettor." "And I," retorted
the exasperated wilo, "have lived long
to learn that one man is as bad as another if
not worse!''
