Yesterday and to-day the Senate had two of the roughest and most exciting executive sessions that have occurred since the administration of Andy Johnson, The subject matter under consideration was the St. Dommgo treaty and the proposition of Senator Schurz to have an investigation inte the manner in which ft was negotiated. The debate in open session yesterday on the petition of Hatch, presented by Senator Ferry, wasa mild indication of the volcanic disturbance which goes on in the interior. Tn these executive sessions Senators are wont to throw off the grave decorum and stiff dignity that sit so well on them when the eyes of all Delaware ani the rest of the United States are upon them. They often allude to one another in terms more“pungent than parilamentary,” as the Illinois wag, Ingersoll, would say, and we language is sometimes known as strong Anglo-Saxon. ‘The session yesterday, itis said, was a lie out of the usual line, It would be easier to say who did not participate in the discussion than to give @ jist of those whodid. The motion before the Senate was to fix Thursday next as the time for the considera- tion of the St. Domingo treaty. This brought up ine whole subject of the investigation and the imprison- ment of Hatch. Senator Ferry reiterated his assertions made in the morning, in open session, re- Jative to General Babcock being instrumental in having Hatch imprisoned. He retorted rather sharply upon Chandler, who sat tmmediately be- hind him, with his long, angular legs upon his desk, chewing @ package of Michigan fine cut, and amus- ing himself by squirting tobacco juice in the direc- tion of where Ferry stood. Chandter’s soul is al- waye in arms and eager for a fray with a brother Senator, as with the British lion or any other man. He mounted Ferry at once, and boldly ex- pressed the opmion that Hatch was a scoundrel who deserved to be hanged. Had he been President Baez, he would have put him to that use long ago, notwithstanding the assertion of Horace Greeley ihat hanging is the worst use to which @ man can be put. A6 for Ferry, Chandier thought he was trying to get up a quarrel with ihe President, and was hitting et Graut over Babcock'’s shoulders. He was in favor of am open square fight. if Senators thougiit the President was to blame, why didn’t they say #0 openly and bodily, ana not be slashing at humble individuals who were not io @ position to defend themselves. This brought out Sumner. He was not afraid to say that the President was to blame In some degree. He would not impute any wrong motives to the President, but he believed he had not gone about the negotiation of this treaty m the proper manner. His error was rather of the head than of the ineart. Lhe atnio- sphere; wes fall of rumors of improper conduct on the part of those connected with the negotlation of this treaty. He was the friend of the President, and as such he wanted to have the whole mattery Investigated, So as to set the President rigit, Thayer did not think the Senator from Massachusetts was acting like the friend of the President. Like Chan- dler, he did not believe ip this thing of making an assault Upop the character of a person like Bab- cock, who held a subordinate position—a position which necessarily closed his month as far as making any defence was concerned. How- ard, of Michigan, had heard nothing trom either Sumner, Ferry or Schurz, which conid, in his opinion, warrant an investigation, Who bad filled the air with rumors? Who “rought these charges? It was such fe!lows as Hatch—men who, for some purpose, were interested in having the treaty defeated, Neitner of the Senators named had given the Senate a eingle substantial reason for the proceeding they asked. The character of President Grant was not to be assailed agit had been here in the Senate without his protesting against it. He would tell the Senators that the country had faith in President Grant, in his honor and integrity not less than in his patriotism and sound judgment, Chandler, encouraged, or rather fired, py the bold words of his colleague, thought it was time to make another raid upon the enemy. This time he launched out upon his learned friend from Massa- chusetts, That Senator had an idea that nothing should be done except he was first consulted. The trouble was that he had not had a nand in the nego- ation of this treaty, He would atvive him ww look after the Alabama cinime and leave others to aftend to matters nearer home. The democrats, as might be expected, were - interested and edified spectators of this nice iittle 1 family quarrel. Senator Thurman, of Ohio, said ir sometimes happened that neutrals offered their ser- vices to settle the quarrels of beltigerents, He would inform the contending parties that the democrats of the Senate stood ready to give their friendly offices in this fight whenever it vas thought they could be ofservice. After a sharp fight of an hour it was finally agreed to proceed with wie consideration of the treaty next Thursday. The executive session of to-day was relative to the sdme subject. Schurz moved that the resolution offered by him the other day for an investigation of the manner in which the St. Domingo treaty was negotiated be referred to the select committee of seven appointed to investigate the charges set forth in the petition of Hatch. This was the signal for another lively skirmish all along the line. The friends of the treaty stated that they were not afraid of the results of an investigation, they rather courted it, as did General Babcock and all the parties concerned. Chandler made a raid upon Schurz, as he had the previous day upon Ferry, He demanded to know what authority he had for tne allegations that the treaty was improperly nego- tiated. For one he had no idea of getting up an in- vestigation untii he snew there was some ground to go on. Schurz said he had got most of his information from Mr. Perry, the United States commercial agent at San Pomingo City. Howard charged in upon Perry, saying that if that Was all the authority he ugd he did pot think mich of it. He nad beeh informed that this man Perry, since his arrival here, had been going around among the newspaper correspondents try- ing to get them to print his statements. Perry has heen accused of this by the Secretary of State, and he had denied it The Secretary then told him to reduce the denial to writing, but he {voward) was informed that up to this time he had not done it, This was the sort of man on whose statements it was proposed to invesifaate the President of the United States, for it amounted to an investigation of him after all, Mor- ton sald he questioned the right of the Senate to in- vestigate the President. The proposition was at least something new in the history of the governmen‘ ‘The Executive was a co-ordinate branch of the gov- ernment, and tt had its rights, which could be no more invaded, ander the coustitution, than those of the Senate. He hoped Senators would look at ius matters lue before taking action. There was but one way by which the legislative branch of the governmnnt could be investigated, and that was by impeachment, and everybody knew that the NEW YORK HERALD, Senate, even if tt was #0 disposed, could not pro- ceed in this way, which was left to the House of Representatives, Sumner denied that those who acted with him wanted to investigate the President. It was simply those who had negotiated the treaty, or been instrumental in negotiating it, Stewart asked Suroner who was authorized under the con- atigution to negotiate treaties. Sumuer replied, “the President, of course, but he may be decetved in those he employs as agents, and the Senate owes it to” the President to uncover such deception, This was atl he wanted, Thayer sald he had no fears of the result of an investigation, but he did not believe in making these assauits upon the President, The action of the Senate in ordering an investigation would be regarded as a want of faich iu the President, Speeches were also made by Nye, Ferry and others, but the Senate adjourned without acting on Schurz's motion, Examination of General Babcock. The special Senate committee of seven, appointed to investigate the atlegations set forth in te petition of Mr. Hatch, which was presented to the Senate yesterday by Senator Ferry, met this morning, and examined General Babcock. It is understood that his évidence was of a character to refute the charges of the petition, The committee wet again this evening aud had Mr. Perry, United States Commer- iat Agent at St, Domingo city, before them. Tue nature of his evidence is net known, as the com- mittee was ati!l in session at a late hour, The Indians at the White House—Another Talk With the President. The Red Cloud delegation calied at the Execuuve Mansion to-day and had an interview with the Pre- sident, It took plice in the Executive Omice, the Indians standing im a semicircle arouna the room, ‘The talk Was of short duration, and was substantially a repetition of what bas already been said on botn sides in the conference held between the Indians and the government officials here. Red Cloud did yot recline on the floor in this Instance, as he did at the conneil on Tuesday, but stood upright and delivered @ speech to the President. He again alluded to his desire to have Fort Fetterman removed, ant compl ined of the appearance of stakes that have been driven in the vicinity of Ins reservation by surveying parties, He cailed attention to his chil- dren; who were standing around im silent approval oftheir head chief's oration, and asked that (ney Might be fed and clothed, as, in the words of the Speaker, they were “poor and naked.’ He also re- peated what ne told Secretary Cox on Tuesday— that he was raised tn this country, but had now come from beyond the hills, where the sun sets, and Wished to have the Great Father take pity on bim. The Great Spirit had raised him to live on wild game; but it was now difMfcnit for him to obtain tt, Before he concluded he told the Presktent he was much pleased with bis visit here. The President replied that he had always and Still desired to Itve at peace wiih the Indian nations. So long as his official authority existed it wouid be used for the protection of the Ludians on the reser- vations and against the encroachments of the white People, as well as for the protection of the whites against the red men, Fort Fetterman, he explained to Red Cloud, was for the protection of both whites and Indians, and might be used as a base of supplies. ‘The appropriation which will be made by Congress for the beneds, of the Indlans would be expended consistently with what is right to be done, ‘The See- retary of the Interfor had the proper justructions Withiregard to this. 4 The Indians Jeaned fotward with eager attention While thetr inverpreter (John Richard; was explain. ing to them the Words of the President. At its con- clusion a sitent handshakimg took place as each one passed trom the roow, and the council with thetr Great Father thus ended, Spotted Tails Farewell Viet to the Secretary of the Interine. Spotted Tali and the oiner H#rule-Sioux chiefs called ty bid the Secretary of tue Interior goodbye to-day. ‘The Seeretary asked him if thore was any- thing more he wished to say before leaving. Toe chief replied unly tO ask again that his youns men inght have government protection on their annual buffato hunt, He snid that they must either hunt or SLUT VE, aid te. Oin eoliews. With whe yener Indian tribes or With the Whites he wished some govern- ment agent to go with them to keep them from fishung. 3 The Seeretery told him he shontd tesch Ms youn men faraing and ocher ways of bving, so that whe. there was Bo bujalo they could have something eine to eat. They laughed, as Fasi Bear the day before had shown the Sceretary a hulled wound in bis side which he received while farming. Me had planted corn in the spring, Wien the officer in the fort tod | him to go hant and when he came back ihe corn would be ripe and he could eat it, He went to buns, and when he was coming into bis corn patch the officer put that bullet bote in bis side, ‘Spotted Tail”? wanted his reservation fixed on the White river, and thatjother traders than the ones | now there be allowed hin. Im the talk the Seerctary told “Spetted Tati he must ex- pect. some trouble In bis lite; white men had troubles. ‘The chief langhingly sata if the Secretary had had as touch trouble in his life us “Spotted Tau” had he would have cut his throat long ago. The chief must have a stout heart. The last chiefs who visited the Great Father had returned home barefooted, and their people iaughed at th See. retary Cox said they should go home on horse back. Whereupon they leit in the best of spirits. Betore going they presented General Cox with an elégant pipe andi Colonel Parker an elaborately worked buaalo robe, Attack by Indians on the Kunsns Pacific Ruil- rond. Omiviai reports received here wenvion that the re- cent attack made on the Kansas Pacific Railroad, west of Carson Clty, Was nut committed by Sioux, but by a band known as Dog Soldiers, which ts com- posed of the renegade Indians of «a great many dif. ferent tribes, Meeting of the urse of the Repablican Committee. ‘The National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee heid a meeting to-night for the purpose of selecting @ permanent chairman and an execti- tive committee.

A, Cragin, It Was ordered that the Executive Committee have power to elect a Secretary, and that the Secretary so elected shall act as the Secretary of the National Committee also, The Cabie to Belgiu In the House Committee on Foreign Aifuirs to-day Mr. Barney appeared in beball éfthe cabie to Bel- gium. He stated to the committee that the Belgian government had refused to give concessions to two English companies for this cable; that the exclusive privilege for twenty years was given by Belgium to citizens of the United States. ‘The parties named in the bil are Robert Squires, Lyman Fre- man, Hiram Barney, GW, Riggs, Erastus Corning Jr.; Isalah Blood, George Harrington, J. H. Lathrop, W. C, Barney, John T. Merriam, James B. Hubbell, They ask the consent of Congress to land the cable, subject to all rights of property and State jurisdiction, No act of incorporation, no sub- sidy, no aid of any kind is asked from the govern- ment, The free use of (ie cable for thirty minutes in each twenty-four hours is offered wo the govern- ment, and the right to regui.te the rate of messages ta given to it, the price per message of ten words not to exceed four dollars, Mr. Cyrus W. Field was also before the Committee to-wlay and male a speech with reference to his submarine telegraphic proposition. BUl to Settle the Claims of Citizens of Kanans, The House Committee on Claims have made a report on the bill authorizing the appointment of a commissioner for the settiement of the claims of cituzens of Kansas, ‘These are claims upon the gov- ernment for indemnity for losses of property by elti- wens of the territory at the hands mainly of govern- ment oMcials or parties acting under them, at a Period when, under the organic act, they were made the legal wards of the government, and coud look =to nos other quthority for redress, Much of the property for which indemnity is claimed is proved to have been takea for public use without the conu- sent of the owners, and claime for such Joases are recognized by the highest law oftcers known to our government; but still more of it was destroyed by the bands of plunderers, in some cases called a posse, in other cases military forces, under the lead of United States marshals or military commanders acting under authority of the general government. And now tf would be the most utter fallacy to an- nounce that the government may deny these Parties compensation or redress and = at- tempt to fsubstitute for justice seme vague declaration of public law that is only operative hetween belligerent nations or independent Powers. In view of ail the facts the committee re- commend the passage of a bill appointing the Judge of the United States Cireutt Court for the district composed of the States of Minnesota, lowa, Mis- sourl, Arkansas, Nebraska and Kansas to receive acdexamine tae claims of the eitizens of Kansas agaist the United States for loss of property taken or destroyed, and damages resulting therefrom, during the civil disturbances Which prevailed in the ‘Territory from November 1, 1855, to December 1, 1856, the awards to be made by the commissioner, and on tae Ming of the list payment to be made by the See- retary of the Treasury, The Naval Approprintion Bill.

Mr. RIOK, (rep.) Of Ark., introduced a bill to carry into effect certaty treaty stipulations with the Choc- | taw nation of Indians, Referred. WRIDGES OVER THE OHIO RIVER. ‘The resolution to make the bill reiating vw the length of spans of bridges on the Obio river a spe- cial order wasdebated, Mr. Morron, (rep.) of Ind., remarked that there Was an actual danger that the navigation of the Ohio river would be destroyed by short span bridges. Mr. DRAKB, (rep.) Of Mo., favored the resolution, betleving that the Interests of the whole valley of ihe Mississippt were twvolved in the legisiation on this subject. He hoped the bili would receive the precedence to which it was entitled. | My. CamERon, (rep.) of Pa., urged the importance | of the measure im the interest of the commerce on ; the river. He said that at Allegheny the people had contributed out of their own pockets thirty thonsand dollars to induce the Baltimore and Ono to Jengthen the span of their bridge. Mr. BOREMAN, (rep.) of W. va said a compromise had been effected with the Pe yivania co} inter- est, Which Was pressiug the vill by h the Span of bridges was determined: that the pro) now was to tear down not only the bridges in the process of completion, but those alres completed, and to refand vo the parties referred to by Mr. Cani- eron the money they had contributed, Mr. Scort, (rep.) of Pa., sald he bad submitted as an amendment to the proposition the bill reported ata previous session from the Postal Cominittee, adding thereto the principle that compensation shall be made for the change of bridges built under the act of 1862.

At ten minutes past one the special order being thefHouse bill tor the apportionment of Representa- tives m Congress among the several States, was taken up, the question being on the first of the Sepate committee amendments, increasing the uum- ber of Representatives from 275 to Mr, TRUMBULL, (tep.) of Tll., chairman of the Judi- clary Committee, explained thatthe object of the bill Was AW as carly as practicable effect to the census of 1870, by fixing the umber at three hun- dred. No State would jose its present representa lion, and the number was not too large for a great country like our own, The present oe ee of the United States was estiniated at at forty or forty-one millions. The new basis of representation would be about ove hundred and thirty-three thou- sand three hundred and thirty-three, whiie the pre- sent basis was about one hundred aud twenty-seven. thousand. He commented upog tbe ober wu end: ments, the Wain object of which was to provide for the réprésentation of the new (colored) clemeut amounting to one inillion six hundred thousan people, which was two-firths of four millions intro- duced into our voting population, only three-fifths of that class belng representea under ihe present ap pojtionmenty ane utsy amendment was then agreed to, and the next amendment was read to strike out the provi- s10n that any reduction of Representatives in a State by the ade tonment shall not take eifect im the Forty-second Congress, objected to the amend- Mr. MORRILL, (rep.)

Ramsey, (rep.) of Minn., addressed the Senate 'n advocacy of the bill. He read from a Western ry ap the effect that the newspapers could take of themselves and pay thelr own postage, just a8 members of Congress oughi to do. (Laugh- ter.) He could not see any reason for the special exemption ot Bawipe pees. As nine-tenths of all mat- ver passing through the mails was printed matter. He said the seuation of the {ranking question had been generatly attributed to Postmaster General Creawell, trot this was a mistake, as the proposed reform, lostead of being a new thing, had been urged Spon Congress for elghty years, as shown by differen Postmaster Generals’ reports, In 1861 Postmaster General Holt had asserted that if the free mall matter in that year had been pas for fi would have netted nine million dollars, A to last years report of the Postmaster General the number of omcials at present enjoying the rg Pishe ge was 3.300, which included rs.

If pai postage was substitnied forthe pres sent system it would be only taking money from one ocket ahd pulling it in another, ‘The cost to the epartment of the Interior alone for sending out documents Would amount to $6,000,000 per year. Mr, Drake would not favor the bill nuiess a pro- mise was inserted to compel Senators and Represen- batlves to pay Uieir OWn postage. Mr. RaMsax, in the course of the disenssion, said Unat Mrs. Lineeln was the only per-on in an unom- cial position who now had the franking privilege.

He looked upon it as one of the levers of pudlic opinion. Like all great privileges, it Was sublect to abuse, bat that was no argument agalust 1. Keferriag to some remarks by his col- league (Aly. HAMLLTON) in a former discussion, he said the people of Texas were uot the set of cut- throats they had been represented, but they were a high-tuned community down there. They wanted hygnt, and he was in favor of giving it to them.

Mr. HoopEE, (vep.) of Mass., acting chairman of the committee, remarked that, if the resolution had been simply such as stated, the committee would have had no difficulty ip reporting the bill imme- “iately. The subject had been taken up, but tt was found that the resolntion covered rather more ground (han was at first supposed. The resolution instracted the committee to repa ‘bi abolishing the tari on coal, 80 a8 to secure that important ar- ticle of fue! to the people free from all taxation. That Jaiter part of it was supposed by some members of the committee to go farther than simply admitting coal irom abroad free of duty. One member, at least, had taken the ground that all direct and indi- rect iaxes were to be taken Off from coal. Mr. Warp--The resolution was perhaps somewhat crade, out it seems very explicit. Mr. CESSNA, (rep.) Of Pa., made the point of order thai under the call nothipg but reports from com- miitees was in order. The SPEAKER sustained the point of order, Mr. Cox, (dem.) of N. Y., thought It the duty of the House to compel the committee to make a report, The SPESKER Said It could not be dene under the call. Mr. Cox—That committee is coptumacious and in contempt of the House. Mr. BROOKS, (dem.) Of N, Y., « member of the com- milttee, said that 60 far as i¢ was in his power he wouid be very glad to obey (he order of the House, if he was permitted to do go. Mr. om Na renewed his point of orde: f Mr. Root, (rep.)jof Ark., objected to the morning hour being consumed in buncombe speeches, Mr. Cox asked the Speaker as to the power of {ug House to enforce its order on the committee. ‘The SPEAKER replied that the Committee on Ways Ad Means was authorized to report at any time on iy sith Tithe committee should, after a reason- able time, refuse to feport the bill as ordered it would be for the House not for tae Chair to take what course it might choose. UNLAWFUL CERTIFICATION OF CHECKS. After some further discussion to the same effect the Committee on Banking and Currency reported the following bili to punish the anlawful certifica- tion of checks Db} ns of fiational banks, which, after a short dise as passed:— oficer, clerk or agent of any banking assoclation who shall'wifallg: violete the provisiene of anvact entiued reference to certifying checks by national wroved Mareh #, 1°69, alall'be_ deemed guilty of a anor and shall, on conviction thereot in any Uircuit or istrict Court of the United States, be fined not more than 26,000, or shall be tmorisoned not more than five years, or boib, in the discretion of the Court. Provided, that nothing in this act contained shall relieve any bankidg association from any of the penalties prescribed in the act to which this act refers. NATIONAL COIN NOTES. Mr, GARYIELD, (tep.) of Ohio, also reported bagk FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1870.—TRIPLE SHKE' the Senate bill to provide a national currency of coin notes, and to equalize the distribution of circuiating notes, With a substitute therefor. Mr. Cox, a member of the committee, objected; that no meeting of the committee had been held to authorize that report, * Mr. Garrieip explained that the meeting was held during the ten minutes recess this mornin, ‘The subsditute was then read, being the Nincty~ Millions Currency bill, with the funding and othe sections struck out, The omitted sevtions are thie, four, five, six, seven. eight, nine and twelve. The substitute having been read, Mr. Cox again made the point of order, that Mr. Garfield was not authorized to make the report. The Speaker ruled that the pomt of order came too laie, adding that If it had been persisted in when it had been first mae he would have submitted the question to the Hotise, Mr. Cox appealed from the decision of the Chair, and called for the yeas and nays, Mr. RANDALL, (dem.) of Pa., moved that the House adjourn and calied for the yeas and nays, adding, in an under tone, that they would filibuster on this bill avery morning hour from now till the end of the Durlog the roil cali the moning hour expired and the biit went over till the morning hour on Tues lay, the appeal from the decision of the Chair having been withdrawn, PETITIONS PRESENTED, Mr. Urson, (rep.) of Onto, presented the petition of citizens of Cleveland, Ollo, for the Passage of the bill to Incorporate the Intetnalional Society for the Protection of Immigration. Mr. MYBRS, (rep.) of Pa., presented the petition of tobacconists of Pi Badal for & uniform ta sixteen cents per pound on manusacture tobacco aud snuit NEW METHOD OF TAKING THR YRAS AND NAYS. Mr. Toad, (rap.) of Il, offered a resolution m- structing the Commitiee on Rules to report whether some Improved method of taking the yeas and nays cannot be devised and alopted, and presented a letter from an myentor of a maciitue for the pur- poee Alina M. Springer. The resolution was opted. UNIFORM SY@PBM OF NATURALIZATION, Mr, Davis, of N. Y.. from the Judiciary Committee, reported for discussion and action a bill to estab ian @ Wuiform system Of naturalization, aud to reyulat rOveed| under the same. The bill makes the following conditions of ¢.uzenship:—fhree year: residence Lu the United States with the intention to become @ citizen, and stx months’ residence in the State and — tht days in the county or parish before application is made; the applica- tion to be filed twenty days in court; the proceedings for naturalization to be had before the Wnited States Circuit and District Courts. Ia coun- {les or parishes where there are not more than two stated terms of those courts: pence may be had in any State court of general jurisdiction having a and seal, The naturalized citizen 1s not to ex- ereise all the privileges of citizenship tll after the end of six months from the date of the judgment, Aliens enitsted in the United States army or navy and honorably discharged therefrom may becowe citizens upon one year’s actual residence, The bill consists of seventeen sections, containing detailed provisions for carrying it out and penalties for fraudulent actions under it. Mr. Davis proceeded to explatn the provisions of the bil, comparing them with the existing provi- sions of lawa on the subject. The efiect of giving jurisdiction to State courts, where not more than two stated terms of United States courts are held annually, was, he said, to give jurisdiction to the Slate courts generally throughout the country, but to deprive them of it in the large cities where feder@ courts are held more frequently, the object betug to prevent the frauds alleged to have been perpetrated in the larger cities. The provision pust- poping the exercise of all rights of eitizeuship for six months after the date of judyment of naturaiizauon he regarded as the great. concervative element of te bill, because all the frauds connected with the present system have been hitherto perpetrated under the spur and é “1 political straggies, Ail part some degree chargeable with such He should not atempt to shield bis owu , nor should any democrat attempt to sbielt setting himself against a change of the sWould prevent such frauds on citiz such as all good men shoul! deplore, ple existed under the Where naturalization must cease some time the election, He defended the priuciple of the thir- teenth section, which provides legal proceetings to be taken against pemaes charged with having fran- dulently obtained naturalization papers. Mr. Wakb advocated the passage of the bill, which was founded on a resolution offered by himself and referred (io the Judiciary Committee. The vil seemed to be well considered, and to meet the re- quirements of tne resointion referred to the commit- tee he would have it amended, however, by increas. ing the residence Mirement froin turee years to four years before an alien can obiuin naturauzation papers. He did not think that bis proposition would be regarded as unjust by alleus themselves, Who were interested in not having American citizen ship made too easy or too cheap, In that connec- tion he spoke of the seventy thousand fraudulent naturalization pers issued in New York city, and of the fact that frandulent naturalization papers were hawked about in the markets of urope at two doliars a piece ax a means of protection, He aiso referred, giving the staustics, to the New York election frauds of 1 a8 developed in the testimony before Mr. Lawrence's select comunittee on the sih- ject, declariug that of the hundred thousand voies potted mm New York cliv fifty thousand were cast by repeaters. He believed that the time would come when the question would arise whether the people of the United States would allow their President and Vice President to be counted out by the fraudulent votes of New York city, and when that ime came there would be civil war. He acquitted the mass of the democratic pariy of « desire cl ernmeut by fraud. He believed th.

Mr. Wanb did not see that the bonds or the teri had anything to do with the pending bill, and te Went on io advocate its Mr. ELDRIDGE, (dem.) of Wis., a member of the Ju- diclary Committee, then addressed the House in op- Position to the bill. It might not property e caileda War measure, but ithad i orgin and life in the spirit of revolution evoked by the war. It was in all its main features at War with the well estanlished order and long settled pohcy of the government on the aubject of paturaltzation and imniigration. It Was one of the waves of the revolution that had, during the last ten years, been au and beating With almost resistless force against the constitution of the several co-ordinate departments of the gov- ernment; against the Union and the States, and Ry all the laws and barriers set up by the fathers the republic for the preservation and protection of the rights and liberties of the people. It wus a arty measure for the perpetuation of a party power. in his Lh eee the title of the bill would be tm- proved and its character much more clearly inalcat- ed by styling ita bill to establish a most Intricate and diMcuit system of naturalization, and to hinder, delay, and a6 far as possible prevent naturalization, and to discourage intelligent foreigners from emi- grating to the United States. Ana yet the bill was a very great improvement on all the bills introduced on the subject. But there was nothing init that commendert it to his judgment. He was 0 w every form and feature of It. The people had not demanded any such legislation, It was the work of the scheming politician. Its pre- tence and title were untrue. It was not intended or esigned to establish 4 uniform system of naturaliza- tion. That system had been established — ago by statesmen tn the interest of the country, and not by polasians and demagogues in the interest of party. The tajury to reayit trom such @ sweepin, ‘and rad cal change could scarcely be comprehended. Next to good laws, the most important thing to any coun- try was to have the laws fixed and stable, and it was of the greatest importance that the naturalization igwe should be cotmprehended by the people of the countries from which the American population bas so largely come. The tatelligent foreigner consider- ing the question of becoming an American citizen would be largely infivenced in his acdon by the facility or difficuity which would attend the act, ‘The present Naturalization law was as Well uuder- stood in Ireland, Great Britain and Germany as in the United States. This knowledge had been dis- seminated through @ period of nearly seventy years with great effort and expense, and the proposed radical and sweeping change would be made at the cost of much time, money and labor to make it un- derstood elther at home or abroad. It seemed to him that no one could doubt that the scheme was invented to keep aliens from applying for and ob- taming naturalization, It could have had no other object. There Was not a provision in it frieudly or iuviting to the foreigner. It was disingenuous and hostile to the alten and unfriendly to his natura. ligation. After criticising the various provisions of the bill, he went on to say that the cry of fraud was a pretext, merely, The bill was inspired by ate and hostill Ay the Fein and Nhe eae ie g ation, maimsprin; tan daetignity. deligtons bigotry and tte ince, Every Sine and letter of it breathed the infernal spirtt of knownothingisim, and the convent and Charen, borning of native Americanism.

OFtabt natlongl interests, it Was au unfriendly low struck at Etiropeah emigration, and calculated, if not Intendea, to hinder and retard it. For his own part he was ready to support a measure extend- ing the rights of citizenship to all aliens on ther arrival in the United States, on their taking the oath w sgl ay the constitution. Mr. Oox protested agatnust the dill, because it was based on sianders against the people and the ju- diciary of New York; because tt was vindictive and partisan; becanse it was so narrow as to be whe American; because it changed the familar, generous, constiiutional aud convenient jnodes of naturaliza tion and instituted a Know Nothing system, amd be. cause tt made ntemnptibie those members of foreign Hirth ¢ ling to Degener acd Pinkelaburg) «I the republican party, whie the pending measure, ostractze the friends ‘trymen of thelr constituents, NT, (rep.) of Cal, opposed the bill, be ‘dnt thiwk If answered apy useiul pur. » and would ce: tamly vote against it the gentleman frou Nevada (My, Piteh) excluding Chinese and Jap- atese from vaturalization were agreed to, THe ar- gued thot the amendinent was not in confict with the “Ourteeuik and fiftecuth amendments to the con- stitation, with the recent treaty between China and the United States, o: her with the prinetples of the eaure he Dore wha'ev Unless the amendment offered by repnbitean party.
