The article focuses on the political and social conditions around the world. Henry Jarvis Raymond, of New York, has introduced two excellent bills into the U.S. House, one to provide New York with a decent post-office, and the other to provide the U.S. with a decent naturalization law, under which color shall cease to be a disqualification for citizenship. The Supreme Court of Massachusetts recently decided that, in conformity with a statute of the legislature, towns may assess a tax to refund the moneys voluntarily advanced by individuals toward creating a bounty fund in view of an impending draft.
