To his letter of injuiry Lc received the reply bolow ; "KAl.AMtr.oo, April 28tli, 1370. 'J. J. Kobison', Esq., "Jhar. Str :- Tfpur favor is reccivcd. I .lo not know whether Cougress has cliaiif;;d tlie Naturalization Laws or uot. 1 do aot ï'ccollect seclug any such bilí beiore ,hem.

Blair, has beeu advised Lhat thero is cot only no law under ivhich colored aliens can be admitted to jitizcnship, but that the naturalizaron laws expressly prohibit them.

Now let the Senate pass the amo and have dono with it. It is not )vcrcreditable to the nation to have moh a claim - oven though without precedent - kicked about like a football between the two wings of the capitol. The House has adopted a joint resolution providing for a sine die arijournment of Congrccs on tlie 4th of July. - rhe day of jubileo is coming.
