4 NEW YORK CITY. : THE COURTS. UNITED STATES COMMISSIONERS’ COU Tho Alleged Naturalization Fraude—Commite ment of Benjamin B. Rosenberg—A True Bill Wound Against Him by the Grand Jury—Ro- eonberg Admitted to Bail. Before Commissioner Osborn. ‘The United States vs, Benjamin B, Rosenberg. Commissioner wsborn délivered a lengthy opinion yesterday morning in the case of the United States va, (Benj. B. Rosenberg, Who had been under examina- tion before him on a charge of selling and disposing of a large number of false certificates of naturaliza- tion. The case for the several days which it fas under examination created @ great eal of public interest, but the result @s to the Commissioner's consideration after he close of the examination before him was antici- pated correctly, and the defendant Rosenberg was mitted to await the action of the Grand Jury on ‘is case. This was as pecatas it possibly could ave been, for the Grand Jury was sworn in and had before them all the testimony in the case before the rendition of the Commissioner's decision. The following is the opinion of the Commis- Bioner:— THR COMMISIONER’S OPINION. The defendant is charged with having, om the 20th Aay of October, 1868, falsely made, forged or coun- terfeited, or caused and procured to be falsely made, Xorged or counterfeited, ive certificates or evidences ¢ citizenship, contrary to and in violation of section hirteen of the act of Congress passed March 134, 3813, entitled “An act for the regulation of x#eamen Bu oar Public and private vessels of the United The first question that arises in the consideration f this statute is, Does the thirteenth section of the have a general application to all classes of na- éuralized citizens, and therefore applicable to this ase, When it is evident that en sections of that law relate only to seamen and ‘ere enacted by Congress for the special purpose of rotecling American seamen on board American essels?. [lis clear that that law grew out of the war of 1812 and the disputed right of Great Britain 0 impress seamen found on board of American hips. ‘Zhe most enlarged and conclusive views on Ahe construction of that statute of 1813, especially She section which this defendant 1s alleged to have violated, is found im the decision of Justice Irwin, ‘i the United States District Court for the Western = of Pennsylvania sitting as Circuit Judge rittaburg Leg. J., 4th June, 1853), which I propose to note at some length. This is the only selaleny I have been able to find relative to the construction of that section and the statute In general. The learned vudge saya:— “it bas rarely happened in acts of Congress that subjects have been introduced of @ nature widel ifferent from that expressed in the fitle, and it onceded that if the several sections of an act can reconciled with each other and with the single upose of legislation, as indicated in the title, it would be wrong to infer that Congress intended to embrace more than that purpose, although it may contain words susceptible of a different construc- tion.” * * * * * 7 * The Judge then goes on and states the reason for #his law reiating to seamen and lays down the fol- lowing rule:—‘‘it is proper to give effect to all the jaterial words of one section of a statute if they ‘ean be reconciled with or have an obvious reference to the words or enactment of another section, and henever this can consistently be done we are not at iberty to presume that Congress intended to qualify ‘or restrain the only meaning which the words em- loyed naturally dnd grammatically import.” Fol- lowing this rule and connecting the twelfta and thir- nth sections of the act it will be apparent that the ords in the thirteenth section, ‘if any person shall, ke, forge, &c., are intended to be general in their perations, and not confined to seamen employed ee public and private vessels of the United The twelfth section provides:—“That no ‘rho shall arrive in the bites States, from ann aner he time when this act shall take effect, shall be ad- mitted to become a citizen of the United States who Whall not for the continued term of five years next Preceding his admission as aforesaid have resided Within the United States, without being at any time Wuring the said five years out of the territory of the United States.” The act of 1813 ia the only one purporting to be @eneral in its features, which requires a continued wesidence of five years preceding admission to citi- wenship, provision, it may be assumed, introduced asthe best evidence of bona de expatriation, and probably not admitting by construction a temporary absence during the five years out of the territory of the United States, which construction would inciude all persons, besides seamen, who left the territory upon business for a temporary period. But, to show ‘hat any temporary absence for any purpose during She five years would disqualify from naturalization, She twelfth section further provides that the alien must have resided inthe United States “without being at any time during the sata sive Years out of the territory of the United States.” Subsequently the act of the 26th of June, 1548, was passed, by which the words in italics were repealed, so tha’ after that time there ould be no foundation for an opinion that the welfth section braced only @ particular class of persons. Conne it, then, with the thirteenth Bection we cannot Ki the conclusion that the pen- allies presented in the latter apply to the indictment before us, and that the District Court of the United States haa jurisdiction of the odence charged. ‘The title of an act of Congress, when at variance ‘with its provisions, deserves no consideration, though it may sometimes serve to explain a doubt- ul meaning of partofit, In this case the body of the act shows that its title is Fingularly narrow, and that besides being mtended for the “regulation of seamen on board the publicand private vessels of the United States, that it mtroduced tmportant enact- ments in addition to the pre-existing naturalization Jaws, aud that these additions are 18 iain Features, restricied, indced, in all its sections except tae twelith and thirteenth to seamen, but as regards pn making provisions fur beyond mere regula- ions.” ‘The excepted sections, as the court have construed thom, are consistent with the object and provisions of the réstand in accordance with What may fairly be presume! and be the intention of Congress by the repealing act of 1845, from which it ray be in- ferred (hat the words “continued resid » not, ag it Wou'd be most unreasonable they should, deny the privilege of naturalization to one who, after his tonto be aduriited a citizen, should fn: it necessary (o go beyond the ihulis of the Uniied States before (he tite prescribed for naturauzation. Concurring in the opinion of the Court as to the construction of the act of 1813 thet tt is general in its pplication to ail classes Of naturalized citizens and able to the case in question, I pass on to con- facts proved on the examination, aud to ae whether the evidence is suite to hold adant for tial.

Either such was the case, or renee @ More reasonable Presumption leads us to ve that some person or ‘with attendant these Hevdon sete saa pemeenins haat ae the Supreme Court or in some manner deceived court; because how could the Lge rpers beentered and the copyiat in the court insert the names of these five fictitious persons, and the be subscribed to each the identical Persons claiming the legal right to these ‘Were in court, or some other pel per. sonaged their names and thus 8 fraud upon the court, if we are to thecourt ty - ly and regularly ordered the five coeuezaiee io gi person or names mentioned in the cer tes? Upon examination of the cases cited by the de- fence as to a record of citizenship being Saieteatve evidence of its validity, I did not percetve that fraud to sh to this record, Tan ander la is at any foun was by of such a state of facts, and upon further ex: A ion of decisions bearing upon that point I found that a judgment de- cree or sentence may be impeached by proof, first, when it 1s shown that such judgment never ex- isted or was void a initio; secondly, that it was fraudulent and covinous; th , that it has been Fevoked. (11 St. Tr., 280, 262; 1 Vés., 159; Andr., 302, Now, does not the evidence in this case show these five certificates are not genuine certificates; that it is beyond the limits of possibility that such coutd be the case; that there are no persons to trath- fully identify them, no person or persons who can truthfully claim them? And, moreover, according to the provisions of the law of 1813, what right has Rosenberg with them if they be genuine, and by What authority to make sale of them to any person other than the persons for whom each was origi- nally issued and to whom each may of right being? These are questions under the statute which the facts in this case abundantly support, and compel the defendant, under the rule of evidence, to rebut. Idecide, on the evidence before mé, that the pre- sumption is that these certificates of citizensh!p are false certificates, amd that the defendant caused or procured the same to be falsely made, and the onus prov it Was upon the defendant to show that they Were genuine, because it was in his power to do so, and he is called upon by well settled principles of law, if they be genuine certificates, to prove them such. Lord Mansileld, in the Douglas case, says, “As it sel dom happens that absolute certainty can be ob- tained in human affairs, therefore reason and public utility require that judges and all mankind in forn- ing their opinions of the truth of facts should be regulated by the superior number of probabilities on one side and on the other.”* Acting upon that principle my Judgment was soon formed as to the preponderance of proof in this case, and I could not arrive at par other conclusion, in the absence of proof by the defendant in relation as to What took pl at No. 6 Centre street, than that there was probable cause to believe him guilty. In most cases I concede that the proof of crime separable from that of the criminal, and in every in- stance the corpus delicti ought to be proved either by direct testimony or by presumptive evidence of the most cogent and irresistible kind. It has been aid that there is to be no presumption in criminal cases; but numerous authorities attest to the con- tary. (Rex vs. Buraett, 4 Barnwall and Alderson, 140; Rex vs. Turner, 6 Maule and Selwyn, 206, United States vs. Hayward, 2 Gallison, 486; | Berms’ Webster case.) ‘We are not to imagine guilt where there 1s no evidence to raise the presumption, and no person is to be required to explain or contradict until enough has been proved to warrant a reasonable and just conclusion against him, in the absence of explanation or contradiction; but when such proof has been given, and the nature of the case is such as to adinit of explanation or contradiction, if the conclusion to which the proof tends be untrue, and the accused offers no explana- tion or contradiction, can human reason do other- wise than adopt the conclusion to which the proof tends?! Thus spoke Sir Charles Abbott, one of the most Illustrious judges that ever adorned the Court of King’s Bench, Such a principle in law should al- ways operate upon the mind of the magistrate in determining the character of posoeeere evidence, in ee when the life or liberty of the person is in- volved. Flagrant and reckiess as may be the acts of per- fons who wilfully practice fraud on the Treasury, and tap the sources of revenue by perjured oaths and corrupt tricks of concealment, debase the coin, depreciate the currency and otherwise evade the laws and add stigma to their name, nothing is so tu- famous and disastrous in its effects to the safety and aie of our country as @ corrupt ballot box and fraudulent naturalization of voters, because these strike at the buiwarks of our institutions and upturn the foundation of our laws. The elective franchise, as understood by our fathers, 13 one of the Inost cherished and sacred rights of the peuple, the only safeguard to self-government, Upon this alone do we proclaim our liberty and enact our lawa, Corrupt this, perpetrate fraud upon the courts in the making of citizens of foreign birth to enjoy the ines- tumable privile; nd we do but undermine the foun- dation stones o ublican liberty and republican laws, and our elections, upon which we so much de- pend for a just and proper expression of the people's will, will, sooner or later, be handed over to the aimless and disordered passions of the mob, and the roud boast that we are American citizens will no jonger add honor to our names, Whatever political party, in their ambition to sne- ceed, whether republican or democratic, or by what other name they may be christened, resort to these means of attack on the elective franchise, and en- couraged by men who trife with the poor, iguorant emigrant, should meet with a stern rebuke at the hands of the people, and be made to suffer the penal- ties of the law, in order that their future for evii do- ing shonid be blasted and they themselves disarmed. It would be trifing with common sense and add insult to the human understanding upon all the facts proved tn thus case by the prosecution, with the de- Jendant silent as to their truth or fa'sity, for me to do otherwise than to hold the defendant for trial, and if indicted to awalt the verdict of twelve of his irymen upon the charge preferred agains! him, iu9 ‘surety 18 ordered to surrender the defendant to the custody of the United States Marshal, and L hereby command the Marshal to keep the said de- fendent in his keeping to await the action of the Grand Jury in default of $10,000 bail. TRUE BILL AGAINST ROSENBERG, The defendent Rosenberg was subsequently ar. ed on the tidictment of the Grand Jury, bat attended by his counsel and a numer of 13 he procured bail for his appearance on the day of trial, which will be held early in the present term, and ieft the court. REARKEST OF ROSENBERG. As soon 23 Cotnmalasioner Osborn had rendered his decision requirmg Rosenberg to renew his bail in $10,000 to await the action of the Grand Jury, Kosen- berg was arrested on another similar charge, in which an examination was waived, and the bail in this Intter case fixed at $5,000, Sobsequently the Commissioner, on application of counsel for defend- aut, reduced the aggreyate amonat of the ball in the two cases to $10,000. A® 8000 as this bail had been given the lant Was arrested on a bench war- rant, indictments having been tn the meantim found against him in both cases and his bail conse- quently cancelled, and taken before Judge Blaten- ‘ord to have the question of bail for his appearance i tria! considered, ‘iginal case, in which Simms acted as the ye certificates had been obtained from Ro- two other cases, making three in ali, in rand Jury found indictments, four cer- been obtained—in the two latter cases by parties whose be made public, ag the proceedings re the Grand Jury cannot leg: be published till announced in court.

COBURN IN COURT. = A flashily attired, tall and muscular young woman, big enough to knock spots out of any ordinary size Inan, who runs under the name of Emma Goss, but who is reported to be the wife or mistress of a poe of pugilism, was brought up to the ull ring on the grave charge of striking out from the shoulder and sending Mary Cotch into the mid- die of next week, Emma, as part of her defence, exhibited a sore fin- ger, and in the most innocent manner declared that she hadn't been, and couldn’t if she wanted, have put herself into a twenty-four foot ring for the past two weeks. “I was walking peaceably enough through tho street,” said the complainant, “‘when she came up to me and gave me a side winder that was almost sul- ficient to give me the consumption,”” “You cotched it, then? remarked the Judge, vain- ly endeavoring to get off a pun. “1 did, your Honor; I caught It right in the face.” “Tn the mug?” “Here, under the eye, sir.’* “Closed your peeper, eh “And made my nose bleed, your Honor.’ . “Swelling your smeller ?"? “Yea, sir.” «“Eimma, your face ia exceedingly familiar to me; ‘ou have been in this court two or three times with- in the past year,’ remarked Judge Kelly. “Oh no, sir,” replied the prisoner, “ony once, and then as a witness; but I didn’t appear ‘against the woman who stole my shawl.’ “Emma, in consequence of the state of your finger I shall have to send you to the City Prison for a month,’? said his Honor, ‘The tall Emma rose with dignity from the chair on which on her arraignment she had squatted herself, wrapped her shawl about her person and left the court room with a cloud upon her brow. Joe Coburn will have to get along without his Emma until the first day of the new year. A MOKE IN TROUBLE. William Wilson, an unmitigated descendant of Ham, and whose cutiole is about as sooty black as they make such things in Africa, was arraigned on the charge of stealing the coat of a fellow moke, deydan Butler, who, while he looked rather young in the face, had, just over his cars and on the crown of bis rae @ head of wool that seemed much like a white lamb's curly covering, while underneath and around the base of his skull was a ring of intensely black hair. The whole looked very much like a dark wool covered head clothed scantily with a gray wig, with innumerable kinks in it, “Well, sir,” said Judge Kelly to complainant, “what have you to say?” “Ise desire to charge dat niggah wif stolen my coat, sah.’? “Do you know him?’ “Oh, yes, sab,” answered the complainant, 1 knows him ‘bout a year.

Mary FE. Miller, a quiet looking woman and possi- bly the wife of @ laboring man, was arraigned for mening apigie head, of the value of thirty cents, so charged by Martin O'Shaughnessy. Martin was called a number of times by the clerk, but he failed to put in an appearance and testify. “Yer Haner,”? said the accused, as she walked up to the railing, “shure I wudn’t be guilty of stalin’ a dhirty pig's head.
