LOOK out for last cards of the enemy.
They are distressed and desperate and will
resort to falsehood and fraud to better their
prospects..
TIIE Republicans of the Potter district
have harmonized on their Legislative candi
dates, and Mr. MANN has withdrawn from
his opposition to the regular nominees.
LET no shoulder now be taken from the
wheel with a view of letting the machine
go on its own account. Push the enemy at
every point till the polls on Tnesday close
on a brilliant Republican victory.
REPUBLICANS remember nothing is ac-
CoMphatied in this world without work. If
you! would have Pennsylvania speak out in
no uncertain way for GRANT and Peace on
Tuesday next, work zealously and leave
nothing undone that will add to the brit
Nancy of the victory. -
THE Alabama editor, whose wood -cut, re
preSenting a hanging "carpet-bagger" from
Ohio, was copied in the GAZETTE a few
days since, declares, in a card printed by
th Cincinnati . Enquirer, -that his wretched
sk ch was merely "a pieee of pleasantry."

of aving placed on the National LINCOLN
MoUument, to be erected at .the capital of
the nation, a bronze colossal statue of Hon.

compliment paid by a grateful people to one
.
so worthy thcir.gratitude and honor.
We learn that our Methodist friends of
these parts have in store a similar compli

Our Committee spoke "by the book" in
warning Republicans to look out for ille
gally colonized votes. We learn that many
small public houses, boarding houses and
all other places readily available, are filled
with strangers, whoni, - there is reason to,
think, the opposition have brought to this•
city from adjoining States, to vote illegally.
next • "Tuesday. We • urge our friends,
-in every voting precinct of these'
cities and county, to keep a sharp look
out for i new faces, and put the law in force,
.at the rat overt act of fraud on the part of
these sttjangers. We urge this matter upon
the special attention of our Vigilance Criin-
mittees and Challengers, as well as of the
.I.3lection Boards,
STATE.
These are not plaasant things to say, and
' especially at this moment; lnit the course of
events seems to make plainness of speech
on these points indispensable. . •
Meanwhile Mr. Joux M. REAP, one of
the Associate Judges : of the Supreme
Cotirt. has addressed a letter to the Chief
Justice and caused it to be nublished, in
which lib maintains that he, Mr. AGNEW,
land Mr:j Wir.u. rs, are all of the opinion
1 that "the practie of naturalizatign pursued 1
c ,(5
in the Nisi Prins, however old and by what-,1
ever Judges sanctioned,. as contrary to the n ;
plain words of the acts of Congress, and as
therefore illegal. . '
"Naturalization is a judicial act, and
the examination, of the applicant and his
-witness or voucher should be conducted by
.the Judge hitcself." _
He farther states that even with the acces
sion of Mr. WILLIAMS to the bench the
rules regulating this practice . could not be
changed until the next meeting of the
Court in bane, Which - will take place at
Pittsburgh in the third week of the present 1
month. . 4
To thcise points Judge Sn),;iiswoon res
ponds in a published letter, in which he
undertakes to overturn the po'itions apps-
rently established 'by Judge 'READ.
These points of difference between the
two eminent jurists it would be presunip
tious for us to discuss, though we cannot re
frain from saying that so far as we percei've
Judge READ has not simply the law
but all the decencies of jUdicial pro
ceedings in his favor. Nevertheless. there
are aspects of .the case which every intelli
gent layman may put in a reasonable claim
ty understand, and hence we take the liber
to of diverting their joint attention from
their difference's to some inquiries which are
more intrinsic.
If "naturalization is a judicial act," what
right has the Supreme Court, or any other
I Court of Pennsylvania to meddle with it ?
' Upon that understanding, we apprehend
that any Pennsylvania Judge who pre:males
to naturalize an alien is guilty of a niisde
meanor, and is liable •to impeachment, if
not to indictment in
,the 9uarter Sessiong of 1
the proper county.
Naturalization is accomplished exclugi ve
ly under national law. There is, it'd there
can be, no Shtte law upon that subject. No
law of Pennsylvania exists authorizing its
Courts to execute the naturalization laws of
Congress. In executing those lasys ; —if the.
act is a judicial one—our Courts sit not as
Pennsylvania Courts, but, ex ollicio, as
Courts of the United States
"When e wrote on this topic some days
ago, we were in doubt, but :Judge READ's
dicta that "naturalization is a judicial act"
runs inthe direction to which our minds in
clined, and settles our judgments.
Now, the Constitution of Pennsylvania
expressly provides that no man shall offi
cially serve, at one and the same time, this
Commonwealth and the United Stat, s . if
a citizen simultaneously holds the offices of
Justice of the Peace and Postmaster, in - a
secluded hamlet, to accommodate his neigh.
hors, he is liable to fine or imprisonment, or
both. What shall be said then, of men j who
sit as State Judges and United States
Judges, at one time? If Judge REAti , had
said that "naturalization is notarial," this
dilemma would have been avoided; lint his
declaration, as it stands, comports with the
common sense of every thinking man. 1 y )
i B
Act (3." Congress Pennsylvania Judges are
made United State? Judges for this 7clal
purpose, and in so acting they violat the
State Constitution, and expose, themselves
to degradation and other punishment. -
While this subject
_is up, another. point
ought to be explained and settled. Is a
Pennsylvania Judge or Prothontary m

fraud he may commit in adminiAtering Aim

'men—are
subjected to severe 2:n.tht.,.. ..rsions. Those
Republicans are looking anxiously for the
acceptance by Mr. II W. WILLIAms of the
appointmant tendered him by Gov. GEARY
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resig
nil:Tien of Judge STRONG. That gentleman
naturally hesitates to confirm the action of
some of his friends who telegraphed, in his
absence, his consent. He, doubtless, cannot
forget d that, last year, when he was the com
petitor of Mr. SHARSWOOD for the, election,
prominent members of his own party of
Philadelphia issued a circular against him,
addressed to almost every Republican law
yer in be State, urging them to vote against
him and in favor of Mr. SHARSWOOD, on the
ground that he was possessed of superior
natural ' abilitieS, a broader professional
experience, and a pre-eminent social,
moral and religious reputation; and that it
required special exertions on the part Of his
.personal friends to prevent a perfect stam
pede from him of
. the Republican masses of
that city. Nor can his reflections stop here.
He cannot fail to recall be tact that while
the Republican leaders on the eastern side'
of the_ Alleghenies are always anxionS,
pending a contested election, to have their
co-partisans on the western side roll up
majorities enough to ensure the political
ascendency in their favor, they are most
unwilling to bestow places of high honor
and responsibility upon the representative
/men of this section. Mr. WILLIAMS has
several years` yet to run of the term for
which he was last elected in this county.
At the expiration of that period he will not
be likely to encounter any obstacles to a
re-nomination and a re-election, such is; the
confide= of our people in him. In, accept
ing the commission offered him by the
Governor, he would necessarily forgo a
certainty here, and incur tho risk of not
being nominated by the next. State Conven
tion, and the large risk of having Philadel
phia Republicans labor systematically to
accomplish his defeat, next autumn, in case
the Convention should make him a candi
date.

StateCiti he be j)ioeeedeil against ? ' *o law
of the State authorizei or - Permits him to
meddle in this business. How, then, is he
answerable to the-State law ? If his med:
tiling, as Judge Read holds, is "judicial"
in its nature, being done- without authority
of Pennsylvania law, is it not extra-judi
cial ? and so; of no more legal account than
an extra-judicial oath, which may be cor
ruPtly false in every particular, and yet can
not be proceeded, against under the law
prohibiting and punishing perjury.
It is alleged that sundry persons commit
ted perjury, as witnesses for individuals ob
taining naturalization. Unless the Supreme
Court can show proper authority under the
Constitution and Laws of Pennsylvania for
administering the laws of Congress, 1. e.
for sitting as a Court of the United States,
how are these
_false swearers to be pun
ished ?

and
S There is Ino use in trying to blink these
inquiries, which gh to the bottom of the
whole matter. Frauds in this naturaliza
tion business have become so regular and
gigantic as to compel thoughtf hl men to
go below the surface in search of reme
dies. The- people everywhere have Jost
confidence in both Judges and ProthonOta
ries, because they shamelessly lend them
selves not simply to party enterprises, but
to' the most unblushing rascalities. What

the dodge that the Seal of which he is
the custodian was stolen? That pretext is
utterly stale, through repetition. Of what
avail is it to talk about the social position,
the moral purity, the pietistic fervor of any
Judge mixed up in this nefarious trade of
corrupting the ballotiboxes ? The people
were nauseated with this stuff long ago.
Let lit be ascertained by : what right, if
any, the officers of Pennsylvania Courts
li
administer naturalization. If i l ey are act
ing without authority from the State, and
hence without responsibilty to' its 'laws,
either let them be prohibited, under :severe
penalties, from meddling with the matter at
all, or else let the Legislature, if it is compe- i
tent to so, authorize their action in. the 1
premises, prescribe how they shall proceed,
and hOw. they shall be held answerable in
case they.disobey. The latter course, is the
one we urge; but we see what difficulties
beset it under the State Constitution and
under Judge READ'S dicta: But this much

Democratic journals figure up the returns

of the facts. Quoting a few towns where

In fact, these returns prove that our yester

GEN . . MIALELLAN had a warm greeting
in Philadelphia on TiMrsday, which he
' gracefully acknowledged in a brief speech,
ignoring all political allusions, except to de
clare Lis belief that, with his old comrades
of the Potomac or Western armies, "in the
future as in the past, he should ever be
found side by side, in war as then, In peace
as now, for our country." Considering
how ill his oid comrades now stand on the
Br„uut and Revolution question, this is an
other significant protest from "Little MAC"
against the present rebel pattern of Democ
racy.
A DEmoottivrtc onATort, at one of the
meetings in Ilttishington City, on Wednes
day evening,: thus reiterated the threat to
defy a law of Congress, his speech being
eontplimented by a unanimous vote of
thanks:
The doctrine promulgated by (fen. Blair
is entirely correct. TIIO Southern States
are entitled to their rights as States; and if
Virginia, under the Reconstruction acts,
fshould put an electoral ticket ill' the field
in this eampiign and carry It as she would
focSeymour and Blair, and the Radicals
should .attempt to rifle out the vote, the
Democracy of this country would wade.
through a sea of blood before that injustice
should be done to that gallant old State.

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE FOR GRANT.
A Washimzton letter makes the annexed
statement as to the distinguished jurist
whom so many Democrats'desired to nomi
nate in the place of SETmoun :
Intimate friends of Chief Justice Chase
say that he has recently spoken very freely
in regard to the •pending election. He
thinks that Grant will carry all the States,
with the exception of six or eight, and that
after he becomes President the country will
surely prosper. In his opinion Grant will
make a prudent and honest officer; willias
sume no powers that do not belong to him;
till call good and trustworthy men around
him, and will, by his management of the
affairs of the country, make a re-election in
1573 an casy'matter. Ile will be the means
of uniting the Republican party and. keeping
it on the offensive. Mr. Chase adds that
the present political campaign clearly dem
onstrates the fact that the Democratic party
of the North cannot remain united with the
Democratic party of the South and hope for
success. The leaders might agree, but the
masses never.
A prominent Democrat of Ohio, taking
the stump for GRANT, at Dayton the other
day, talked in this way
•
' He said the time had come when honest
War Democrats must mate with the, Re
publicans, to sustain their honored and suc
cessfpl commander, General Grant, or go
over to the unwashed traitors and rebels
who are seeking to destroy the government
of our fathers. For his part, he dare not
longer hesitate between Grant with peace
and Seymour- with war. Major Smith then
ably reviewed the course of the Peace Dem
ocrats, in which he handled Mr. Vallandig
hain and his ultra supporters pretty roughly.
The Major served in the war to put down
the rebellion, and he feels that he must vote
as he fought. His speech will have an ex - -
cellent effect here with his friends in the
Democratic party, who have about conclu
ded to do likewise.
BRICE POMEROY is making Democratic
speeches in the oil regions, and 11EI§TER
CLYMER is helping him. It is said that the
latter is often quite eloquent, in his appeals,
realizing precisely what BRICK predicted on
the 2nd of June, f when, after reading the
Chicago Republican platfbrm,Jie said
“Its almost exact accordance, touching the
'finances, the national credit, and taxation,
with Governor Seymour's vieWs, as ex
nres.,:ed in his celebrated swech at the New
York Itondholder's Convention last winter.
Scan the two and compare thins Carefully,
anti you will find scarcely a shade Of dif
rence. I low true it is that the friends of
the bondholders in either party, think alike, !
feel alike, and act alike ! With them the
interests of their masters, the bond lords,
are paratnount to all others. What a beau- ;
tiful (ix we should be in were we to adopt I
Governor Seymour's views, reaffirming in
substance the Jacobin platform upon the
financ , alquestiOn. flow grandly we could
rally the masses,! What ringing appeals
we could make to the plewholders?' I
THE Tazewell Regivecr, the Democratic
organ of Tazewell county, 111., backs up
its party squarely, in their general prefer
crence fora Southern rebel over a Northern
l o y a li s t. Why have ]\!..t.t...zttne oftheirPenn
sylVpllia the courage to speak with
equal honesty ? Any unbent might con
sistently reprint the Reg/get .. .5 aVOIVaI ns
follows :
"What sort of Republicanism is that
which would honor Generals Thonufs, Sher
idan, and Meade, and degrade Generals
Forrest and Hampton ? Forrest is as good
a man as Sheridan, and a better cavalry 7
man. No Radical will pretend to say that
Hampton is inferior in talent, virtue, and
accomplishments to Thomas. Hampton,
Forrest and Lee are accessions to the Dem
ocratic party. We are proud of them, and
we present them with confidence to Thepeo
ple of the North, and we say, 'Here aro our

fraud, with every card in their hands a

forged tickets, one of which has been shown
to us. It bears the names of Every,Reptib

a few votes.i '- -
We also hear of two other forged tickets
of a similar character, one or both of which
substitute a name, or names, of Democratic
Legislative candidates. Be on your guard,
Union men, against Democratic "honesty,"
In any shape: Look well to your tickets,

him out on bail, but common prudence
would seem to dictate his rimnaining in jail

he has done, John Casey was murdered by
"active Democrats,"

THE NEW- REBELLION IN WEST
VIR nn
Uri
GINIA.
The Wheeling Intelligence n LIGHT HI
r speaks of the
lawless opposition of the rebel Democracy
to the registration system in that State as
follows: (
At Fairmont we learn that a great crowd
of disfranchised rebels who had been got on
the books, accompanied by their friends,
numbering several hundred in all, and
armed to the teeth, undertook to overawe
the Board; threatened to throw them out of
the Court House windows, or from the sus
pension bridge into the river, and to destroy
the books, and did so alarm theni both for
their own safety and for the safety of the
books that they hastily adjourned. Even
then the 'members were not permitted to
leave the Court House till the ruffians had
cursed and threatened them in a most out
rageous manner. What has transpired fur
ther out towards the border we have not
yet heard; but there is reason to fear still
greater violence in sonic counites. If such
a thing should happen in Marton, what are
we to expect in Barbour, Randolph, Gilmer,
Braxton, Hardy, Wayne, Cabelle. etc. We
shall not be surprised to hear that in many
of the iborder and southern counties, at
tempts have been made, and it may be suc
cessfully to break up the boards of registra
tion and destroy the books by force. There
is scarcely any doubt that the Democrats of
this State are united in a secret organization,
either the Ku-Klux-Klan, Knights of the
Golden Circle, or some similar conclave.
We have positive information that in some
counties where the disfranchised rebels out-'
number number the loyal voters they have resolved
to vote by force or prevent an election.
There is reason to fear a concealed plot of
this kind exists in reference to a large part
of the State, and that nnless restrained by
fear of superior force they will attempt to
execute their purpose. (
Rebuke to One of the Seymour Conspil a tors,
Major General Edward M. M'Cook, of
Ohio, a brave and gallant officer during the
war, and now United States 3linister to the
Sandwich Islands,

as follows : -
