by the Republicans of Leavenworth Dia
. ct, Kansas, for the State Senate.

politically "on the fence." The place suits
the man and The man adorns the place.
REMEMBER:
That every man whose name is not on
the Assessor's list to-night, will seek in vain
to have it added afterviards
THE HON. HENRY Wilson', of 3lassa
chnsetts, will speak in this city on the even
ing of the '7th instant. The place where
the meeting will be held will bedesignated
hereafter.
WE ABE glad - to know that the Hon. H.
W. Writs a ems has accepted the appointment
as one of the Judges of the Supreme Court;
has requested that his commission may be
forwarded to Philadelphia; and has gone
thither from Mount Moiris 4 New York,
where he was visiting, to be sworn in.
Tim unanimity with which the general
movement in Spain, dethroning the Bour
bons, is accepted in -those provinces wheie
that dynasty possessed, but a few years
since, tlutstrongest hold on the popular af
fections, is very justly regarded as conclu
sive against any prospect for their restora
tion to the sovereignty.
VIGILANCE COMMITTEES:
Have yon examinee: the Assessor's list of
your district ? Have you noted the, sus
picious aS,sessments of the Democrats.?
Have your hunted up at your own men
whose names are not on the lists ? If not,
see to-it now. On Monday it will bel too
late.
LET `tplow-hohlers" remember that
Messrs PENDLETON, VALLANDIGIWL and
the great body of Democratic Representa
tives in Congres in 'G2 voted to pay the
"bloated bondholder " his interest in gold;
they did not then blink the people's curren
cy good enough for " a privileged class."
'Let any man who doubts this fact be con
vinced by examining the. Congressional
Globe of that session.
Ir is SUGGESTED, in several quarters likely
to be well informed, that SEYMOUR is about
to withdraw from the Democratic ticket, and
yield the place to MCCLELLAN. Unless all
signs are deceitful, there are very curious
things to happen before the November elec
tion, and the public need not be astonished
if one of these should be a reconstruction
iof the Democratic ticket, after the adverse
result of the October elections.
ASSESSMENTS
The ttemocratic Assessors have been no
tified not to assess any Republican who does
um' , apply personally for assessment This
rule is all well enough, if made general; but
if made to apply only ,to Republicans, we
.o l bject to, it mobt decidedly. The practice
of these Assessors is to assess any Demo
crat whose name is handed to them, and the
application of a different ;rule to others is
charactrristie: of a party . ;that' depends ex
clusively upon fraud and trickeiv, for what
ever chanpes of ,success it, may pride itself
upon expecting.
THE COURTS—NATURALIZATI ON .
If any man in Pennsylvania has been
waiting for evidence to work uptes his mind
the conviction that the Courts are as cor-
mpt as any other bodies in existence,
he ought to find it abundantly in the man
ner in which the whole business of natural
izing foreigners is ordinarily conducted.
That the admission of a person born in one
country to citizenship in another ought to
be attended with formalities coMmensuraie
to the importance of the proceeding itself,
c.
is attested by the consent and practice of all
nations from the highest antiquit down to
the presenttime. If this rule s properly
observed in transfering allegian i from one
monarchy to another, much more ought to
be respected in adopting citiz •ns from a
monarchy, with its peculiar trai [dons and
EMI
educational forces, into a rep blic, which
rests upon a totally differentbasiz,and hence
is - beset by perils peculiar to that form of po-
Ticket.
litical organization. If the co • veiance of
title to a paltry piece of land ca I not be
13,per
fected without such definite profs and per
manent record as will make th fact clear
and unquestionable for all time, he transfer
of allegiunce from one govern ent to an
other ought to be made ith such
certainty and publicity as to (stamp
it with high significance a d render
it susceptible of plainest roof eves,
after. Such is the clear intent d meaning
of the - existing laws of Congress on this
subject. The shameless manner in which
those laws are evaded, and the equally
shameless way in which the Courts lend
themselves to the lowest debaucheries of the
baser sort of politicians, is a sign of im-
pressive and ominous import. When the
appointed guardians of public justice can
not be trusted, when the conviction becomes
almost universal that they connive at multi
tudinous frauds,_and even actually partici
pate therein, it would seem that the foun
dations of civic order must be hopelessly
rotten. It is no answer to these incimina-
firm . statements to say that concessions
to the exactions of either political party are
venal. A Judge or other officer of a Court
who will depart from the strict line of his
duty in administering the naturalization
laws is approachable for criminal ends in
private business transactions, and will per
vert justice through spite or to gain pecuni
ary advantage.
A consideration of the boundless dis
honesty almost invariably attending the
process of naturalization has inclined
us to look with favor upon the plan of ad
mitting to the right of suffrage every adult
male resident upon oath, duly taken and
registered, that he abjures allegiance to the
government under which he was born, and
bears and will continue to bear, genuine
fealty to the laws and constituted authori
ties of this country. The perjuries and for
geries wllich the naturalization system now
in use ocpsion are absolutely appalling. It
would br unreasonable to charge those
offences :upon the system; but as Jong as the
naturalization laws are so generally circum
vented list every foreignerfdoes vote unless
prevented by a sense of personal honor,
there Would seem to be no utility in them.
They sand mainly as provocations to crime
of the most serious moral gravity.

king thus broadly and, emphatical
do
not mean to be understood as af
g that none of the Judges and none of
erks of the Courts are actuated and
)11ed by integrity of purpose in this or
Ler matters ; an honest man was found
rdorn ; and there are honest men con
d with the administration of justice. .
t we assert is thitt honest Judges and
s constitute a minority of their respect
rders. A Judge or a Clerk who will
himself as a tool to a political party to
t illegal naturalizations can be bribed to
ny unlawful or immoral act in affairs
ining to his office.
the Prothoriotary of the Supreme
t has issued certificates of naturaliza
blank, he ought promptly to be in
dicted and, upon conviction, sent to the
penitentiary, as, the laws ordain. If the
Chief Justice or any of his Associates htvie
consented. to, or had' knowledge, that
the Prothonotary was proceeding in this
manner, lie or they ought to be both indicted
and impeached. It is the sublimation of folly
periodically to make outcries about natu
ralization frauds and then allow the culprits
to escape the_punishment or degradation
which the laws provide. 1
[
In very many of the counties in hick the
,
Courts of Common Pleas are not necessarily
in constant session, those Courts now regu
larly hold special meetings just prior to each
important election for the purpose of facili
tating naturalizations. If individuals had
suits pending in those Courts, involving
their dearest interests, and which there was
urgent need of ha l ving speedily de
cided, it would be, in vain to ap
peal to the Judges to depart from the or
dinary course - of sittings. But politi
cal parties want votes, and Judges do not
hesitate to dispiLy their zeal by holding as_
many special sessions as their favorite party
finds it convenient to have. Thi l s is a prac
tical commentary of no light moment, on
the professions of the Courts, not to partici
pate in partisan contests. i
Having gone so far, we elect to go far
ther, and raise another point.
There is and can be, from the :Very nature
of the case, no law of Pensylvania, or
of any ether State, regulating the terms and
process of naturalization. Congress deter
mines the conditions upon which alien.imay
be admitted to citizenship, prescribes the
formalities by which the process shall be con
summated-, and who shall conduct and at
test them. All Courts of the United States,
and all Courts of Record in the respective
States, are empowered to naturalize for
eigners.

Cou
tion
By the Constitution of Pennsylvania it
is made a penal offence for any person to
hold an oilice Antler the gOvernment of the,
PITTSBURGH GAZETTE : ISA
trialtedl'Btatee ;while holding one uirider the
governineut
individual so offending may be proceeded
against by indictment, and upon conviction
be punished by fine or imprisOnment, or
both.
In what capacity do Judges and Prothon
otaries'of Courts of Pedn'sylvania act when
naturalizing aliens ? Is the function judi
cial or only notarial ? Upon the solution
of this question the whole case turns. We
make no pretensions to an amount of legal
knowledge sufficient to authorize us to ex
pound and ilecide this matter. •
Pennsylvania has not authorized its
Courts to meddle in this business., It has
exhibited a sensitiveness to connections be
tween its functionaries and the national
goverriment. The prohibition to which we
have referred was put into the draft of the
State Constitution by a Convention largely
Democratic, and the Constitution was rati
fied when the Democrats held decisive ma
jorities in the State.
When Pennsylvania Courts sit to admin
ister the naturalization laws of Congress,
they seem to sit, ez•officio, as Courts of the
United States. It was their habit, down to
a quite recent period, to preserve all the
formalities of other judicial proceedings
while attending to this business ; and these
formalities wherever abandoned, have been
abandoned only in compliance with the be
heats of party leaders and for ends which
are in plain and criminal antagonisin to the
letter and intent of the laws.
Let this point be adjudged as it _may be,
there is no obligation resting upon Pennsyl
lvania Courts to administer the naturaliza
tion laws, They may or may not naturalize
at their option. Nor is there any clause in
the Constitution of the United States, or of
this State, which prevents our Legislature
from providing that our Courts shall exer
cise no function under the laws of Con
gress. NOr yet is there legal hindrance in
the way of such an amendment of the State
ConStitution as shall not allow voting upon
naturalization papers until six or twelve
months after the issuing of them. We do
not advocate the adoption of either of these
measures, for we have. already indicated
what we regard as the best remedy for the
evils under consideration ; but if the people
are not prepared to accept those broad views
of liberty and equality, they have only a
narrow choice of remedies.
Citizenship is a right that ought not to be
trifled with. To confer it illegally is just as
grave an outrage upon naturalized as native
citizens. Many of the most valuable men
in the country were not born in it. Every
good manor woman imported is a decided
gain; for such are the richest • glory of any
nation. It matters nothing where a person
was born, or of what stock, if good quali
ties are in him or her. But it matters much
to any citizen or inhabihint fo enforce obedi
ence to the laws, andlp i reserve the Courts
from corruption. The prevailing tide of ju-
dicial venality and political demoralization
in respect to naturalizations is sweeping
away the sentiment of honor in the manage
ment of the Democratic party, and is inva
ding all other departments of the national
life. It must be stayed, or all confidence in
the Courts will be destrOyed.
LOOK AT THE ASSESSMENTS
Republican voter ! ' Do you know that
your name is ppon the list of voters of your
election district ? If you do not, see to it at
once. Go and exumine the list posted at the
election ground, and satisfy yourself of the
fact. If your name is not there, go without
further delay to the Assessor and have your
name, added. This's the last day for that
purpose, prior to the October election. Do
not risk your vote by neglecting thismatter.
It is every man's business to see to the pro
tection of his own rights.
BLAIR. and, his Party of Anarchy find
some very /serious obstacles in the way of
carrying out their mad schemes. For ex
ample, they have proposed to admit Texas,
Virginia andr Mississippi to the Electoral
College, in defiance of the express letter of
law which excludes those unreconstructed
States. And we are still confident that this
intention has not been abandoned, although
two of the Military Commanders, GILL'Int
in Mississippi and REYNOLDS in Tekas,
have issued special orders that no attempt
to take any part in that election can be per
mitted in those States. But this attempt
will be made, with the, support of the Ku-
Klux, and with the heartiest co-operation of
those Northern Copperheads who have so
lately endorsed and approved a letter on the
ssame subject which Mr. PENDLETON declares
to be a forgery. The rebelsnre unanimous in
demanding, either that their construction of
the Constitution shall rule, or else that
. there shall be a "revolution,"—their name
for another civil war. The entire body of
the Southern Democracy say that these three
States shall vote, and the Copperheads sup
port the demand. They hint that their Ku-
Klux are strong, enough to put the project
through, regardless of the Federal power.
They will make the trial, and we shall see
how it comes out.
IT sguars"that it was Judge SHARSWOOD
who reversed the decision of Judge THOMP
SON, and ordered-that a publication of the
naturalization lists should be permitted.
The former took pains to say that he
"deemed it of great public importance that
the lists should be made public." Upon
this matt l er, the Harrisburg Telegraph ob
serves :
This decision of Judge Sharswood is a di
rect rebuke, and might be termed an insult
to Chief lJustice Thompson, who, on the
day before, descended from the bench,
questioned one of the Court reporters what
he was doing, and when informed that 'he
was taking the names of persons natural
ized, the Judge took the papers from him,
tore them up and threw them into the
waive basket with a remark that he did not
allow these proceedings to be published.
We hope this insult will load to Mr.
Thom pson's immediate resignation, but it
need not be expected.

prudently forbearing / any increase of busi

canvass'? And why? Because every man,
who has the intelligence and foresight to
conduct any considerable business, sees
clearly !the direct bearings of this election
upon his personal interests, and risks at lit-
II I tle as possible before its issue is decided.
Would it not be well then, for the business
men of 'a community so deeply interested as
ours, to hold one general mass meeting, for
tne express purpose of considering the can-
TIM in its purely business aspects ?
THE. ONLY DEMOCRATIC HOPE:
It is Clearly apparent that the Democracy
no longer rely upon argument or any law
ful method of, electioneering, to carry Penn
sylvania. Thinkilig that nothing is to be
gained in that direction, they have organ
ized the most audacious and shameless
scheme's of fraud in every section of the
State. The attempt by one of their parti
zans to put through some of this rascally
work in this and Westmoreland counties
was exposed in our local columns yester
day, while the annexed statements in the
Philadelphia Bulletin • of Thursday evening
show the desperate lengths to which their
leaders' are. going in that quarter. It /is
,gratifying to remark the promptitude with
which !all this systematic scoundrelism
is being surveiled and put on trial for pun
ishment. Mark what the Bulletin says :
Lastnight a scene occurred at the Balti
more depot which leaves no doubt as . to
who these political swindlers and counter- -
feiters are, nor how they propose to do their
work. i When the night train reached the
Broad and l'rimo street depot, Governor
Swand„ . of Maryland, with a gang of Balti
more roughs and regedies,numbering over one
hundred men, left the train. The lot must
have been regarded as a choice one when
Governor Swann thought it not beneath his
dignity to marshal it himself. This raid
was anticipated by two parties. Two com
mittees of reception awaited the arrival of
the train. One consisted of the fbllowing
highly distinguished citizens of Phil
adelphia: Messrs. IL J. Hemphill,
Chairman of the City Executive Com,nit
tee; Alfred Fletcher, Democratic candidate
for Prothonotary Court of Common
Pleas; J. Travis Quigg, Democratic candi
date for the Legislature; Samuel J. Randall,
member of Congress: Samuel Josephs, can
didate for Legislature; G. W. Johnson,
Charles B. Duncan, candidates for Alder
men in the Ninth ward, and Thomas B.
Florence, Democratic candidate for Con
gress. The Committee had evidently made
all their arrangements for the location of
this precious invoice of Southern ruffians,
and but for the presence of another less
distinguished, but not less valuable com
mittee of our citizens, they, would have
carried out their plans. They were a quiet
set of men, in plain - clothes and with few
words, but their appearance on the scene
acted like magic on Gov. Swann's body
guard: They broke and ran like the black
est of sheep in every direction. The police
contrived to capture about a dozen of them,
and will probably secure more of them to
day, when, if Messrs. Hemphill and Ran
dall can rally their scattered forces in time,
they will turn up at the several places of aS
sessment.
We: copy also the - Bulletin's comments :
When we find Governor Swann marshal
ling an invasion of imported voters, the
Honorable Samuel J. Randall endorsing
orderS for fraudulent naturalization papers,
and joining in the reception of a gang of
Baltimore thieves And ruffians; Mr. Robert
J. Hemphill, with his Democratic candi
dates for Congress and the Legislature, as
semble in the outskirts of the town at mid
night to aid in the nefarious scheme, sure
ly it is time for the people to be alarmed.
Surely it is time for decent men of all par
ties to crush these men out of political ex
istence, and to save the ballot-box from
their desecrations before it is forever too
late.

WHY Should Mr. PENDLETON hasten to
disclaim as a forgery the -letter to.-Kutszy.
of Texag, urging that people to vote for the
Presidency. No law excludes them from
such participation except that known as the
Edmunds act, passed just before the close of
the late session, and this act was a clearly
logical and just appendage to those recon
struction laws which Mr. PENDLETON, in
common with all his party, denounces as
"usurpations, unconstitutional, revolution
ary and void." No, Mr. PENDLETON, we
understand each other very well already.
Holding the opinions you do, you must con
sistently acknowledge the claim of your
Texas compatriots to take part in the elec
tion, and your plausible disclaimer of ex
press advice to that effect is only a blind
which deceives no one. You say the Kin
ney letter was forged; we say that the forger,
knew his man and did him no injustice. He
knew, as all the world knows, that PEN
DLETON and every other Northern Demo
crat are to-day upholding BLAIR and WADE
HAMPTON, in their rebel assault upon the
Federal Constitution and Laws, and that
they conscientiously sustain the demand
that rebels and traitors shall regain the con
trol of this government, or they ill once
more fight. That is what they mean, and
what all of them say, who dare to say what
they mean.

THE Southern rebels groan in despair over
the unseasonable frankness of the Tuscaloo
sa Monitor, in illustrating, by its miserable
wood-cut which we copied last week, the
kind intentions of those people towards
Northern citizens found in that region after
the election. They do not dissent from the
proposition to hang the carpet-baggers, but
think it was very indiscreet to disclose the
purpose just now. For example, t the Mont
gomery Mai/says
"The wood-cut, we fear, is good for a loss
of five or ten thousand votes from those who
would otherwise have voted the Democrat
ic ticket. , It nay lose us Ohio, and, in that
event, will lose us the election and keep the
radicals in power four years longer. It is a
terrible thing, after the laber we have un
dergone, the pangs we have endured, the
hopes which we have clung to. the endu
rance to which we have nerved ourselves,
to see the rising temple of liberty burnt to
the ground by a torch flung among the
shavings."

Cast Iron undergoes marked changes under the
alternate action of heat and cold, and the human
body is noViist iron. On the contrary, it is a cum
binattou of delicate tissues and fibres, which are
exquisitely sensitive to atmospheric changes, and,
unless protected against sudden and violent varia
tions of temperature by wise precautions, are sure
to be dlsastrJusly affected by 'them.
At this season the difference between the temper
ature of night and day is greater than at ally other
period of the year, and the stomach, the liver, the
bowels and the nervous 'system are apt to receive
violent shocks from these changes, resulting In in
digestion, bilious attacks, debility, low nervous
.fever, fever and ague, remittent fever, .tc. Sustain
and reinforce these organs. therefore, with the
purest and most potent of all vegetabit tonics and
alteratives, viz: HOSTETTER'S STOMACH HIT

that it
so strengthens and certifies the body as to
render it proof against the morbid Influences which
infect the air during the prevalence Of epidemics.
DISEASED LUNGS.
There is no doubt whatever that direases of the
lungs, or ulcers of whatever sort, on any of the In
ternal organs may be and are frequently cured, and
a complete condition of health estattlished. if the
elaborative functions, of which the stomach Is the
primary and most important one, ars restored to a

ulcers or sores, wnether upon the luns 'the liver,
the kidneys or the bowels, or upon I thb legs, as is
frequently the case, can be mast: I trOteal, and a
complete standard of health re-establisned.
