ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 10. Gov Hicks was in
augurated today, at noon. His address opens
with reference to the evils OF a foreign immi-
grafton and the naturalization law question.
and quotes the farewell address of Washing
ton against foreign influence. He says the
people of Maryland have declared in a wav
not to be misunderstood, their appreciation Of
these evils and their determination to remedy
them. The right to vote is conferred by the
constitution alone. Its limitations are pre-
scribed in that organic law, and it is evident
from the result Of the late elections, that the
people OF the State think it requires further
guards. He next touches upon religious in
terference, and alludes to the attempt to di-
vide the public school fund among sectarian
schools. He condemns the agitation of the
slavery question and dsunion sentiments. and
says that while Maryland will hearken to no
suggestion inimical to the slaveholding states.
che will listen to no suggestion inimieal to
the union with -slaveholding States. He
alludes to the recent election troubles, and
disapproyes of military interference at the
polls. He alludes to the evils of carrying con-
cealed weapons, and to the laws delaying the
prosecution of criminals

a mistake in being too mild and forbearing to-
wards Walker.
Mr.. zolhcotfer of Mics, thought it was our
best policy to let the neutrality laws stand.
He did not believe that Walker had violated
them. He knew that Walker was not nj

ton. But he [Zollieoffer) believed that it was
in the spirit of his instructions.
The Committee then rose, and the House
adjourned.

GREAT INGRATIrUDE.-A case was brought
to our ears on Saturday, which constitutes
one of the most fragrant cases Of 6lial ingrat-
itude to which we have ever listened. The
facts are that youth of Is, named Charles
Bishop, Fl" who was an only son, and whose
mother was widow" and who was employ
ed, not long ago, in The counting room of the
Girard House, has rendered his mother PEN
niess by his rascalty. The lady alluded to is
Mrs. Frances Bishop, residing in the Twen-
tieth Ward. a short time ago she sent the
young man to one of the banks to deposit
$1,000. Instead of doing so, he went with
the money to New York, where he spent it in
a round of excuses. He returned home pen
niless and apparently penitent. He was low
ingly forgiven but during the time of the
recent panic, when his mother had withdrawn
her funds from the bank, he forced open the
trunk where it was deposited, and fed to
New York with the entire sum-three thou
sand dollars in gold. He was traced to New
York and thence to Baltimore, but no further
tidings have been gained as to his wherea-
bouts The unfortunate mother is now left
literally penniless. So base an illustration of
ingrattude is rarely found existing, even in
works Of fiction. Philadelphia North Ameri-

mated and exciting debate of ID hours, he
was confirmed by q vote of 26 to %. Messrs.
Pugh of Ohio, Stuart Of Michigan, and Brod-
.erick of California, voting with the Republi-
cans. Messrs. Hale Hamlin, Pugh, and
Stuart. made violent speeches in opposition
to confirmation. The ground of their oppo-
sitlon was that he was xot qualified for the
position. He WAS defended by Messrs.
Bayard, Benjamin, and Shdel. Letters were
produced from some of the ablest and most
distinguished julists in the country, thorough
ly endorsing Mr.. Clhord's fitness aud qualii-
cations. The opposition felt not little
chsgrined that Mr.. Douglas did not vote with
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, who opposed

THIEVES CAUGHT, --Formany weeks past, says
the Bay State, the inhabitants of Webster and
vicinity have suffered from the depredations Of
thieves. These thieves have not confined them
selves to any particular class OF articles but have
taken anything they could lay their hands upon.
They have stolen chickens, vegetables, wool,
cloth, and other articles. About week since a
Mr.. Ballard, living about mile and half from
the village, lost some chickens. There had been
light fall Of snow, and the tracks Of the robbers
we're easily traced BY Mr.. Bates, one OF Mr.. Bal
lards neighbors, who followed them across tho
6slds until they stopped at the door of one schuy.
Ter Cheney. From thence the tracks Of one par
son were traced to the house Of George Tindale.
Warrants were issued the next day, and both
were arrested, taken before Justice Allen, and
pleaded guilty On searching their houses, an
immense quantity Of property was found. They
were committed to Jail in this city, to await trial
Cheney formerly was Waterman al the wooden
mandatory Of s. Slater 8 Sons, and while in
tho business had made skeleton keys which would
admit him 10 any part Of the mills. The firm has
lost much cloth in consequence. 1t is thought
that there are others implicated in the affair, who
will be brought cut. s.lI.IEf faug
