At all times an important consideration, it is especially so in a time of popular excitement, as such a time furnishes the greatest temptation to tals class of offences, All persons found guilty of violating this jaw are guilty of a criminal ollence against the United States and are subject to ald punishment. It 1s right that the law on tuis subject be understood, so that those—-if any sucii there be—who are engaged in violating or intent on Violating the law may be fully apprised of the consequence. The power of confer- ring on an alien the rights of citizenship under tue constifulion belongs to the national gov- ernment. The States have no such power. The laws of the United Siates, there- fore, are the only lawa which «eciare under what circumstances and by whose instrumentality this great rigut of being called a citizen of the United States shall be conferred on foreigners. The statute accordingiy declares that if any alien shall appear before the cours of record and apply to be admitied to citizenship, be be admitted by such a court on waking proof of certain facts. These proofs are to be mude in open court, and the court, on such application aud production of proof, adjudges the persou beiore it to be eniitied to be a ciuzen, and therefore declares him admitied as such, The certl- ficate, under the seal of the court, signed by the clerk of the court, scttmg forth the fact tuat the applicant naturalized, which certificate is issued ut, and that is the evidence of his right uslip. These proceedings are required by e sof the United States to be in open court, and the acis which confer naturalization are solemn Judicial a aud every time a judge of any court admits an alien to be @ citizen he declares, tn the presence of his fellow men and with ali tue solem- nities of his oath of office, that he is satisfied from | all the evivence produced before him that the person admitted to citizenship is entitled by law thereto. ‘These proceedings, arising under the laws of the United States, are required to ve taken in the courts of the United statesa@one. But Congress, desiring to afiord — facilities to persons desirous of be- coming citizens, on account of the small number of courts of the United States and the difficulty of access to them in many of the States, saw fit to permit that tuese proceedings should be taken not only in the courts of the United States, but in a Stale court of record having a clerk and @ seal, ‘ruis has opeued the State courts to all applicant: and in tus district the issuance of certificates ol Citizenship from the United States is a i @ rare occurrence; but taken, as for the tnost pi they are, iu (ue State courts, these tmportant pro- ceedings are not leit wholly unprotected by the laws outside the law tn the case by putting in evidence facts the contrary of which should be shown aflirma- tively by the party complaining.

We will, however, calla few witnesses. TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENCE. The first witness called was Frederick Myers—Re- sides in Hoboken, ts ember of the Kunhardt & Co. wlebgpe and American Steamship Packet Hne; the vessels of this line sail to this port from Hamburg, touching at Southampton, land their passengers at the present time at the company’s pler, Hoboken. The ships of the company carried the United States mall in Deceiuber, 1863; prior to Decem- ber, 1863, the vessels landed passengers at pler 21 North river; generally at that time the passengers were landed tn ihe stream; prior to December, 1863, witness was not aware of any ocean steamers landing passengers at Hoboken, ‘This testimony was given on part of the de- fence in contradiction of the testifony of the wit- ness Livingston for the prosecution, who testified Hoboken prior to December, 1363. The witness was cross-examined, but nothing im- portant was clicted. ‘TESTIMONY OF ADAM GILLESPIE. By Mr. Lawrence—Resides in the city of New York; 5 ~~ in the Superior Court of the Siate of New ork. Q. Do you find among the naturalization papers on Mie in that office the naturalizadion paper of Moses Livingston? A. Ido. Paper produced. Counsel for the defence—This is the fellow who swore here the other day that ne was acitizen for years, Witness—This is the naturalization paper of Moses who swore here the other day that it was two months since he was naturalized, be was only naturalized three days before this prosecution was started, and that the name of his witness, instead of being Brown or Brawm, as he swore, was Max Livingston, This other and true witness of his is well Known, though be sails under many aliases. Mr. Fullerton, for the prosecution, objected to counsel's reraarks. Counsel for the defence—We told you you put your foot in it, and now we prove tt. Mr. Fullerton—We have put no foot in it we can- not withdraw very easily. ‘The paper Was put on evidence--the naturaliza- tion paper of Moses Livingston. Counsel for the defence—Your Honor will perceive that the paper has been filled up by the transposl- tion of the names; the names of the parties are on the wroug place, The name of the principal is signed as @ Witness, and the witness signs bis name in the place of the principal. That is the way taey do business at 35 Chambers street. ‘The witness was cross-examined, but nothing im- portant was elicited. TESTIMONY OF PHILLIPA BRUCHBACKER. witness Was also examined with the view of invalidating the tesumony of Moses Livingston, the witness for the prosecation before referred to. Her testimony was principally directed to show that the witness Livingston had lived in her house for some mouths and to identify Livignston, the witness, as her lodger for a certain length of time. The testimony of witness when she came by de- scription to identify Livingston, the prosecuting wit- ness, with her own lodger, he not being in court, ‘was objected to by prosecuting counsel, which ob- Jections were sustainea by the court. EXAMINATION OF ELLIOTT SANFORD, Elliott Sanford, a member of the New York bar, ‘was called to connect some of the links necessary to the connection of Mrs, Burbacher’s (che previous wit- ness) testimony, bat on the material points neces- sary thereto, ns to conversations with other parties, the principal one being the abewnt and. hy t Liv: jon.

Witness would have identified Mrs. Burbacher’slodger, Miss Livingston, as the Liv- ingston sworn atained in the cas@ Saturday, and whose cross-cxamination Was so importaat and occupied such a length of time; but the prosecution put the defence to the necessity, before witness could testity as to conversations, to prodace the rincipal party thereto, which it was impossible for fie defence to do.

Yo The expectations of national guardsmen were raised (o a high pitch by the announcement that the ‘Tyenty-second regiment, which has long aspired te equal the Seventh in drill and discipline, would be and maostered yesterday at Tompkins uare, It is but simple fustice to say that those who expected to see a fine review were not disap. point The regiment came on the und in ex. cellent order and looked the beau ideal of a service- able body of troops. Lieutenant Colonel Remmy has every reason-to be proud of hiscommand. Leaving out two or three errors, which were more of omiss! than of commission, the review given to Gene! Liebenau was splendidly conducted. The drum corps was in the rear of the band when the regiment was in ling of battle. and when passing in review turned out with it, which was not the case in the reviews of the other regiments. The regiment ‘passed tn review in double time after the march im common time had been well performed. The move- ment was splendidly executed, distances were well preserved, and the company fronts were very good. Some would not have dvue so well at common time. Every officer salutea properly. The fleld af were mounted; the men had on knapsack# with overcoats rolled, and, im fact, the equipment of the regiment was perfect. Its martial appearance elicited the applause of crowd that gathered to witness the Twenty-second and to the Seventy-ninth if General Wail, Who accompanied the reviewing ofticer, had ap] in full uniform.
