The Ipngnp in J'.nston which wants more bnrrleis picctoil to keep out foreign population is especially aetho ami as Senator Lodge of Massachusetts has rhaige of tlio i ducatl.Mial test bill II Is to bo p\uctptl ] that he will urge action upon II , although he Is said to have confeMoil to u discovery , dining the Into campaign , legaidlng tlio patilot- Ism nntl gond sense of our foiclgn-bmn cltlxpii-s which may have somewhat modified his views an to thn uecessltj for more lestrictlvo leglislatlon. The bill in cpipstlon provides that all persons over J i yi ars of age who can not read ami write the language of theli native country or poino other lan guage shall bo excluded from admis aion into tlio Unltod Slates , except that ait aged ppi'fcou not so able to icad ami Wtite who 1 < the piupnl or grandpaicnt of an admirable Immigrant may ac fonipnny or bt > bent for by such linmi- rant.

These slips are to be placed in bo\es , fiom which they shall be diawn by the IniinUi.inl and lead and tr.mseilbed In the pies- ence of the Immigration ollireis. No Immigrant falling to lead and wilte out the slip thus iltawn by him shall be admitted , but ho slnll be ictnined to the count i j * from which he came at the expense of tlio steamship or lallioad company which ( nought him , as now piovlded by law. When this bill was callo.l up in the senate last May , Senator Gibbon of Louisiana made a veiy strong speech In opposition to It , In tlio couise of which he said : If our purpose * spring from it foncnt itc- slrc to buncllt the puoplo by rcstrlctltiK im migration , then \\c must loolc for some more IcKltlmatu anil pinctlcal moans than this measure ! now unilci1 tonilileratlon.

If left to themselves , would bo good citizens These are the educated class whom this bill would admit. Wo belles e the Intelligent and un projudlced sentiment , of the country will tully concur with this. The senate icpubllwiiis will Mibseno the InteiVHlM of the part.v bj icfusing to penult anj tinketlng of the Immlgiatlon laws at the coining session. 1 he coutvie of the foreign bout voteix at the Into election has shown them to bo cltly.ens whose patilotlsm , Integiity amr devotion to the honor of the nation can be de pended upon.
