1t is difficult to conceive how the repre-.
sentative of the United States could have
sought to found proof of the pretended
naturalization of Kosta upon document
destitute of all authentic character seeing
that the form of flegalization which is atfiix
I'd to it, which alone could have invested il
with thatcharacterleave in blanks both the
name of the tribunal before which the dec
laration Of Koszta must have been made
and the name Of the clerk who is supposed
to be the depository of the original docu
ment, and that moreover, this pretended
legalization has neither signature nor ofica
seal attached to it. But even admitting the
authenticity Of this declaration; and suppos
ing that Koszta could without violation o.
the laws of his country of his own accord
and without any other formalities, have bro
ken assunder the ties which bind him to his
native soil, the text of the document shows
that the author off has done nothing more
than declare hisiRteatioB of becoming citi
zen Of the United States, and, with that OBJ
iect in view ofrenoueing his rights of ma.
tionality in the States Of the Emperor. h
A few days later new and lamentable
episode occurred to oagravatc the question
On the morning Of the ed ofJuly the com.
mander Of the American soop- of.war "St
Louis, J" Mr.! Ingraham, sent a message tc
the com mmsnding officer of the "Huzztr.' y
to- the effect that In pursuance Of instruc.
ions received from the Charge d'Affaiisn d
the United States at Constantnople, he had
to call upon him to deliver the aforesaid
Kossta into his hands, adding that if he did
notreceiye satisfactory answer by O
clock in the afternoon, he should cause the
prisoner to be taken away by main force
Asitwas reasonable to expect our com.
mander, instead of complying with this re.
quest, prepared himselfto repulse force by
force; and when, at the hour designated, the
American commander, getting ready to car.
ryout his threat, ranged himself alongside

A Friend and a Gentleman.--We received
on Thursday a letter from a subscriber, who
is about leaving permanently the parish, but
who requested us to continue sending his pa
per to his new home, and inclosing that which
causes the blood to course fast through prin-
ter's veins-a bank bill. We promise, that if
fortune should 60 hard with him in the future,
he shall never want the Sentinel for want of
money. These kind expressions which con-
ciude his letter, are more valuable to us than
gold:
"And now, my dear sir, in taking leaving of
you, allow me to say that | shall ever recur back
with great pleasure to the friendly relations that
have ever existed between US and for your devo-
ton TO the cause of the Wing party, freely accord
my humble testimony. Hoping that the Sentinel
may ever prosper, and your success personally be
insured, Lremain, your friend.

The Next LEGISLATURE.

The first Legislature under the Constitution
of 1852, convenes on the 18th inst. Its pro-
ceedings will be looked for with much anxiety
by the people Of Louisiana. Both Houses will
have a Democratic majority, as large perhaps
as was the Wing majority ID the Convention.
and Democratic measures will of course pre-
| vail throughout the session. But we are of
opinion, judging from the face of the last De-
mocratic platform, (for they are as changeabIe
in sentiment as they are numerous,) that the
Wings will find that the Democrats are not
averse noD to sustaining and carrying out some
of their leading principles of State policy
Having discovered that the people are immense
ly in favor of Internal Improvements, and of
Banks on a safe and equitable basis 1.-TWO pro-
minent Wing features) the Democrats will not
dare to throw impediments in the way of their
successful and immediate operation. With re-
gard to the present Constitution, eoncocted it
may be said, by the Wings, the Democrats are
really its friends, however much they may at
tempt, for appearance sake, to find exceptions
to it; indeed, they cannot be otherwise than its
friends, if they wish to retain the friendship of
their constituents. They are thus forced at
length against their own iron will, but not
against their honest convictions, to relinquish
one of the favorite tenets of their creed-to
acknowledge that Internal Improvements IS a
principle which is intimately interviewer with
the prosperity of Republican institutions-that
it speaks of progress, intelligence and expan-
ded views. And for a system of business sim
liar to that carried on in this State and other
States of the Union, where the credit system is
so universal, the necessity of banks cannot be
doubted and with some rare exceptions, OPP
position to banking corporations has become
an obsolete idea among the mechanical and
commercial branches of trade and industry; and
nearly so with those who are considered the
political wire-pullers, whose business it. is to
sustain and keep popular the axioms of a party,
even though such action may conflict with rea.
son and right.
We will have banks and our railroads will
progress, even though the Democrats are in
power.
We trust that among the local matters which
will claim the attention of the Legislature, the
condition of our flourishing town. and its pro-
lection from the encroachments Of the Missis-
sippi, will receive serious consideration. If
New Orleans was threatened as we are threat
ened by the Father of Waters, the peoples
representatives would devise extensive mea-
sares for its security. Surely, then, our citi-
zens and our village should receive a portion
of that attention and liberality which would
certainly be bestowed upon the city, if similar
ly situated.
The present condition of Bayou Plaquemine
will doubtless attract the early notice of the
Legislature. The present high stage of the

Lola N0nteo.-The celebrated Lola has been
in New Orleans for the last eight or ten days,
going through a successful engagement at the
Varieties. The following item respecting her
we sake from the True Della:
Last night the ceIebratedL Lola Montez made
her debut at the Varieties, TO a crowded house,
composed chiefly of :wise masculines." A play
founded on the incidents of Lola's adventures
in Bavaria was presented, and received with a
fair share of popn'ar approval, though, truth to
say, the dramatIst does appear to- have made the
most of the materials which his subject afford
ed. During the performance the Countess
gave "a taste of her quality" touching an impor-
tant matter mot down in the bill" A country
man in one of the boxes nearest the entrance
was contending for his seat in a banner which
so amused those around him that a general
laugh was created in his vicinity. Lola, when
she saw what was going on gracefully stepped
up to the foot-!ights, and, laboring under the err
roneous impression that the confusion was in
tended as an interruption to the play-said
"Gentlemen, ! came here to play for you, and !
am willing to play for you, but if any cabal be
got up against me | must leave the stage
Applause and bouquets rewarded the actress,
for which she bowed, kissed her hand and
smiled.

Letter from Washington.
From the Charleston Courier.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2!

WASHINGTON, Dec. ~.
The two Houses will not proceed to business
again till after New Year. In the meantime,
several Senators are preparing speeches on the
Cuban question. 1t is to be the great discus
sion of the Session. 1t is intimated that an au~
thoritative exposition of the opinions of Mr..
Calhoun, on the subject Of the acquisition of
Cuba, will be made during the debate, and that
his opinions will be found to be very different
from those of the President. Mr.. Douglass is
to be frs. in the discussion, and it is supposed
that he will represent the policy of young Anne
RIGA on the subject, and 60 ahead of Messrs.
Cass and Mason, and even Mr.. Soule, in regard
to the doctrine of destiny and necessity, which
must give US Cuba.
MIR. Douglass has been appointed as the ora
tor upon the occasion of the erection of the
jackson Equestrian Statue, on the 9Th of Janu-
airy, and will, no doubt, do justice to the occa-
sion.
Mr.. Stanley, Of North Carolina, has UNDER
taken the du'y of et1ecting ~salutary reforms in
the House. At the commencement of The ses-
sion, he obtained the adoption of 4 resolution
excluding from the hill, those persons who.
as reporters, obtain the privilege Of the House,
and use it for the purpose of prosecuting claims
before Congress. To-day, Mr.. Stanley called
attention to another abuse, which is the publ
cation in the Daily GLobe, cf speeches, purport-
ing to have been delivered in Congress, but
which never were delivered in fact.
The Globe is an official paper, under the pa
tronage of Congress, and therefore. the House
may direct what shall go into it, or be excluded
from it. The occasion of Mr.. Stanley's COM
plant, was that Mr.. Smart, of Maine, had intro>
duced a resolution in regard to measures Of the
Administration, and without remark, but the
next day published in the Globe. a long speech,
purporting to have been delivered in the House,
and rejecting very severely upon the Admins
~tration. Mr.. Stanley commented on this pro-
cedure, and stated that it was made TO appear
to the public that Mr. Smart had stood up in his
place in the House, and made these extravagant
allegations, dttying contradiction, and that no
friend of the Administration had Offered to re-
ply. Mr.. Stanley said that, as the Admini>tra-
ton was soon TO close, it would not be suppo-
sed he spoke from any party motives, but with
a view to do Justice hereafter to the House, and
prevent the misconceptions which would arise
from the practice he complained of. After some
debate, the proposition of Mr.. Stanley was mo
dified and adopted, so that hereafter, a memo
randum will accompany the unspoken speech,
showing that it was never delivered in the
House.
Speeches, however, may be published in
pamphlets which were never dIIivered, and in
the Appendix to the Congressional Globe, six
hour speeches or essays may appear, though
founded upon an hour speech.

Worth Knoving.-Some Of the papers, OF
late, have had a paragraph recommending the
use of ,rheat -four in the case of scalds or burns.
A gentleman at Dayton saw is, and the other
day. as he writes to the Empire, tested it to his
satisfaction. He says:
awhile at the supper table, a little child
which was seated in its mothers lap, suddenly
grasped hold of acup full Of hot tea, severely
scalding its left hand and arm. | Immediately
brought a pan of -four and plunged the arm in
to it, covering entirely the parts scalded, with
-four. The effect was truly remarkable-the
pain was gone instantly. Then bandaged the
arm loosely, applying plenty of flour next to
the skin, and on the following morning there
was not the least sign that the arm had been
scaiGed-neither did the child suffer the least
pain after the application of the -four"
Render, do you bear this little fact in mind, if
a similar occasion offers.

The Catholic Church-There are in the Uni.
TED States 6 archbishops, rs bishops, 1871
priests, and 1915 churches, distributed auonr
"a dioceses and 2 apostolical yieariates. One
bishop and rs priests have died; whence it ap-
pears that during the past year there was an
accession of Ill priests. If we suppose the
Catholic population in the diocese of st Louis
to be 100000, Boston 100000, Galveston 3d.
900 and st. Paul's, $500, the total number of
Catholics in the United States will be about 2.
