The.State Department should not le called to account for not interposing without proper evidence furnished of his Citizenship and this case furnishes a strong argument for the passage of tI is bill. I now come to another class of naturalized citizens. I propose now to refer to that clause of this bill which seems to have met the particular objection of the gentleman from New York [Mr. Cox] yesterday. though it struck me at the time (I do not wish to be uncharitable to the gentleman. particularly in his absence) that his object was rather to "fire the German heart" than to illustrate the operation of this bill and seek to amend it where it may be wrong. I am aware that a portion of the Gonman iress of this counntry li:ts conuniioled very severely upon this clause of tlIe bill. fieiee I shall tsl indilgoce for a few tLintites to renivc. as I think I shall be able abindautly to do. any suspicion even that this measure is in derog.:ticn of the rights of any portion of our naturalized citizens. much less the Gerianspealeng portion. What is this third clause of the bill? Natralzd citizens of tie United States who tay by the terms of any treaty he regarded as having assumed their original nationality.
