The first thing that arrested sus­ picion in searching tho records was the extraor­ dinary number of the citizens manufactured by these two Judges. Previous committees of Congress had inquired of all the Judges who issued naturalization papers how long the process took. Judge Brady said five minutes ; the others agreed that eight or ten men an hour was as many as they could naturalize. But it appeared from the court records that Judge Barnard turned out vo.ers at the rate of 500 an hour, and McCunn was not far behind him.

But m 18G8 the usual method was to issue all these fraudulent papers as if to persons exempt from declaration on account- of their age on arrival. Mr. Davenport obtained the affidavits of l,o»H) men who acknowledged that tjiey had bet 11 natu­ ralized as minors, although they were over age, many of them from 49 to iiO jvars old. when they landed. Even with all these frauds the work did not goon fast enough, ind at least 20,000 naturalization papers were accordingly issiW in blank, withoutany application for theni, or transaction of any kind in court, or any roeerd appearing on the books. Three thou­ sand ot these bogus papers were seized by the police at a fiquor store in Prince street ; they were intended for use in Connecticut, where a contract had been mado to furnish them at 50 cents apiece. Mr. Davenport speaks from per­ sonal knowledge about the blank certificates, for he has had many of them-- some thou.-amis --in his possession. An examination of the court records for the pr.st twenty-five years shows that the| number of u it.iraliiitions has run from 2,50frto 16,000 a ye r, being highest, of course, in years of poitic-al excitement. Even in 1857, when the frauds began to be heavy, it was only 15.500. But in 18G8 it went up to 70,000 ov more. Probally nobody will ever know the exact figures, because no record was made oil the Looks, but it is ascertained that Barnard's court had 30,000 blanks, and used all except 1,800 of tliem. In the preparation of these false papers the conspirators committed the mo-t reckless blun­ ders. Certificates purporting to issue from the ; Supreme Court were dated back to 1806, al­ though the court never naturalized anv one, and no blanks were ever printed for it until 18(58. Sometimes the imaginary applicant for naturalization was represented 'as a native of ; this country, or even of this city ! Sometimes the application was signed in a good hand bv , witnesses who are found to be now unable to : write. Often the names of prominent citizen* an wituesses --August Belmont, John T. Hoff- : man. William M. Tweed, Peter B. Svecnev. John J. Bradley, William H. Vanderbilt, and ; United States District Attorney Courtney--were . signed with a mark '. But a "great deal of the | work was done by professional witnesses, who i made nothing of swearing to a five-years' ac- i quaintance with sonic two thousand ap- : plicants. These professional witnesses, j of whom there were about 100, were kept in a ! room adjoining the court, and in one month they signet! for 20,000 applicants. Ten of I hem appeared for no fewer than 8,245 persons. Patrick GofT, .Tolia Moran, John Ward, and Patrick McCaflVry seem to have done th" heav- , iest business. CloT gave Ins uddr..v* in tub­ men different streets, but always at tho same number, 44. The residence* of supposed ap- , plicants were placed in vacant lots, stone-yards, ' or wherever chance or fancy dictated, Occa- | canionally the conspirators* went through a whole street, and located a colony of applicants ill each house, not stopping when they got to the end of tho street, but carrying out the i numbers ad libitum. In City Hall place, for | example, which contains only fortv houses, i they ran the numbers up to 342. I'he appli-*' | cants for naturalization, it appears, during the I height of the fraud, tcere never (id- j mitU-d to the conrt-rooin, and rarer saw the Jinlge. The professional witnesses j obtained the certificates, either filled out or in blank, and disposed of them at rates varying , from 50 cents to £2. Quantities were delivered 408 j in Winchester, Putnam, Orange, and Rockland | counties ; Goff took 400 to Kings county, aad 1.006 i Mr. Davenport knows of 500 that were offered j for sale in Saratoga county. The complicity of j tlie Democratic Committee in these transactions j was notorious. The principal part of the busi- | ness was carried on at the party headquarters, - the system was organized there, the witnesses ^ were supplied, the Judges were managed, and i the aliens who were to vote on these bogus pa- j per* received their instructions. So vast a j scheme could never have been carried out ex- I cept by an organized central authority. But that there might be no doubt about the real re- sjwnsibiiity for the crime, United Stales Marshal i Murray in 1868 sent a number of fictitious names to the Demo cratic National Committee, j * i id. in a few hours obtained certificates of naturalization for $2 apiece. The*e things were done while Tweed was in liia glory. But we mupt not forget that tho corruption of the suffrage thus introduced was a continuing danger and injustice : tlie 60,000 aliens supplied with bogus certificates repeated the crime ever}' year tliev voted. When Mr. Davenport was appointed Chief Supervisor of Elections his first undertaking was to put a stop to this outrage upon the legal voters, and his Method of doing so seems to have been highly judicious. He gave fair warning through tlie press, through the post office, and whenever possible by personal notification, that the fraudulent certificates would be challenged at the polls. He invited a committee from Tam­ many Hall to sit with him at bis office, and re­ quested all holders of the papers of 1868 to ap­ pear there and exchange their false certificates lor valid ones, if they were entitled to them, or, a t any rate, to be put in the way of becoming citizens.

[Washington Telegram to Chicago Inter Ocean.] Some days ago a report was received from Texas to the effect that an attempt had been made to interfere with a Re­ publican officer for making a speech in Texas by threatening his life. Atty. Gen. Devens ordered United States At­ torney Burns to investigate the case, and his report has been received. He says : "If the courts of the National Govern­ ment cannot protect the right of free­ dom of speech there will be mo such right tolerated in the South." Several other confirmatory statements accompany the report, one beiug a uowspaper cutting, saying that the prop­ erty of the colored people is taxed two or three times as much tis that of white property, but in regnrd to the Bessels case, which called out the investigation, his own sworn statement is tlie most concise and circumstantial narrative of the affair, and is embodied in Burns' re- pojt.

I would respectfully communicate for your oflici.il consideration the following facts which I state in my own way: I am, and have been for the past two years, in the employ of the Govern­ ment as mounted Insjjeetor of Customs on the coast of Texas, from Velasco to San Bernard river. On the 8th of May last, by request, I addressed a Republican meeting in the town of Brazoria. I made no assault npon the Demo­ cratic party oc its leaders, and said only what as a man 1 had an undoubted right to say. I was born and raised in Berks county. Pa. ; served dnring the rebellion on the flagship lienton, of the Mississippi squadron, and am, I think, old enough and intelligent enough to understand the ordinary rights of an American citizen. I gave the colored (icople some good advice as to how to improve their condition generally. I advised j them tiiat, though having a majority ; of 8,000 or 10,000 in the county, they should defer as much as possible to the claims of in- 3.

To ths Union Soldiers and Sailors of th« State of Nev York: It was your fortune to oppose insurrection, and to save your country in tne pains of reliel- lion. War summoned you to the ranks ; its end saw you return to the Vocations of peace. But your work was not done. The enemy you had conquered in the field withstood you" at tlie poll* ; and in three successive Presidential elec­ tions was your work in the war crowned with the affirmative suffrage of the nation. A fourth elect on approaches, and effort is preparing to seize from you by deceit what other means li-ive failed to reach. Your adversary is the same-- the Democratic party. Its doctrines are the same--State rights and the justification of se­ cession and rebellion; hatred to the war ; hos­ tility to the Union soldiers and sailors ; opposi­ tion to their claims upon their country for the relief of themselves. their widows and orphans. You did not trust the Democratic party during the war. Which of its acts since the surrender at Appomattox renders it worthy of your trust now ? Its des­ perate fortunes compelled its nomination of a General of the Union army for the Presidency --a new figurehead, but the same old hulk ! A thousand Generals of the Union army received to its embraces could not palliate or annul the terrors and bloodshed with wliK-h the Demo­ cratic party has unitized and again sets in the field a solid South against the patriotic volun­ teers of the peace-loving North. ITie straggle is again upon us. It is our country that calls. Let tlie name of no soldier or sailor* be wanting upon the muster who marched or fought for the Union.

I complained that, while ample provisions were mrde for the education of white children, only partial provision was made for colored ; and that assessme nt for taxes was two or three times as much on the property of colored jieople as on the same kind of p operty belonging to white people; and, further, that while colored persons confined in jail awaiting trial were hired out for the beue- :itof the Cjunty treasury, white men in the same fix were not interfered with. I advised the colored people to strive to elevate and improve Ihc'r condition. I said nothing but what I would publicly repeat anywhere. I took pains to im­ press upon the colored voters to be certain not to receive their tickets from anyon^but those known to tliem to be Republicans. The next day, on my way home. I wm met in i Brazoria by Dr. Aschom and a crowd of eight • or ten other Democrats, who had been waiting for nie, as I was informed, to call me to accouut j for my speech of the day before. Dr. Aschom I was the spokesman, and to'd me that, if I did ' not wish to follow Rantee (meaning the Repub­ lican County Clerk, recently assassinated in his I office on account of politics), I had better stay j at home, and that, if I ever attempted to come to Brazoria again, I would " be put out of the way." I said I saw no cause of complaint, as -I bad given no cause of offense. He* replied : ' " We don't projKise to have any Yankees inter- j fere with our county affairs." I answuc l that, j having lived m Texas three years, and the ; county of Brazoria nearly two, and bein^ a tax- j paverj I claimed the right of free speech, npon i which Dr. Aschom remarked : "If you wish to save your life, stay at home." These threats were participated ill by the crowd, some | of whom said they, had sent a petition j to the Collector, Gov. Pease, demanding my removal. This statement, I subsequently learned, was false. One of the crowd j said he would wade through blo-id up to his j neck to kill a Yankee. Some weeks iilterward I : was informed by a trustworthy person that Dr. i Aschoin had said that I would be killed, but he would not do it himself ; that he would be forty miles off when it was done. About two weeks ago Jos. L. Bryan, a wealthy planter, and his son called on me. I was absent when he culled. On my return in the evening he sent for me to come down to the village store. A number of people were gathered there. Mr. Bryan gave vent to his feelings in regard to my speech, and •v.uued to know wna; lu-inea* I had " making a Republican speech." He told mu that if ever f attempted to make any speeches in that count j (Brazoria), or take any more part in politics, I would "slide off like Santee," or "forget to wake up some morning." I informed him tiiat I did not hold myself responsible^) him or any other Democrat for making Re­ publican speeches. I know a num­ ber of persons who witnessed thia affair. Later I learned that the crowd had de­ termined to kill me, and I was urged to leave the county immediately. To save my life I did i-o, and came on to Galveston to lay the matter before the Collector. Though a poor man, I will be compelled to give np my pleee to avoid reduction of the principal of the nation­ al debt, less cash in the treasury, and decrease of interest charged thereon an­ nually from Aug. 31, 1865, and monthly fi-om March 1, 1877 to July 1, 1880."

In contrast with this remarkable show­ ing it is useful to notice briefly the Dem­ ocratic. financial record for the last fif­ teen years of the rule of that party in public affairs, between the years i847 j and 1861. In those years of profound ' peace the public debt was increased: #13,137,032.35, while the cash in the i treasury was reduced to $2,115,418.60. j As the result of Republican honesty in public affairs during the fifteen years- covered by the statement referred to 4 per cents, command a premium in every financial market in the world.

In 1861 they supported a platform which declared it unlawful to coerce a State. In 1862 they declared themselves in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war. In 1864 they intimated that the war was a failure. In 1866 they rejoiced in its success. In 1868 they opposed the constitu­ tional amendments.
