ANY adult foreigner, whose Lative country is at peace with the United States, may become a naturalized citizen on the following conditions: 1st, Provided, after three years' residence in the Uni

ted States he shall declare his intention to that effect (see Declara tion of Intention); 2d, Provided he shall have resided one year within the State where the court is heid to which he makes his application; 3d, Provided he shall have sustained a good moral charac ter up to the time of his admission; 4th, Provided he shall have satisfied the Court, and declare on oath (see Oath of Alien) that during the three years prior to his application, it was his real intention to become a citizen, and to uphold the laws and Constitu tion of the United States. In becoming a citizen he must renounce all allegiance forever to his native country, and also every title or order of nobility, if he have any.

Should an alien die after having declared his intention, his widow and children may become citizens by taking the oath which the alien himself would have taken.

The children of duly naturalized persons, if minors at the time and residing in the United States, shall be deemed citizens, without taking out papers to that effect.

Any foreigner who has resided in the United States prior to 1812, and has since continued to reside therein, may dispense with the declaration of intention; as may also any applicant who has resided within the boundaries of the United States three years previous to his majority. Two years after declaring his intention, the applicant, if he shall have complied with the conditions described in the first paragraph of this article, is entitled to his certif icate of citizenship. The application may be made to any Circuit or District Court of the United States.

POWERS OF ATTORNEY.

AN attorney is one who is specially appointed to do anything for another. His authority may be limited or extensive, and general or particular, as the persons appointing him shall see fit. Any man may grant his own right or power to perform a thing to another.

An attorney, however, cannot, without permission from his principal, delegate his authority to a substitute. An alien, a minor, or a married woman, may act as an attorney.

The authority to act as an attorney should be in due form and ander seal. The attorney must act according to his iustructions; and whatever be undertaken, should be undertaken in the name of the party from whom he has received his authority.
