in the Town Hall on last evening. from in
dicaiions apparent during the day, it was
pretty well understood that there would he a
full turn out to witness the grand debut. BY
the notice, the doors were to DC opened at
o cIock, the Performance to commence at
half past seven; but long before the hour had
arrived to open the door, the large hall was
crowded to ovcihowing, principally with
ladies ; so that it became necessary TO refuse
admission TO great many. Every nook and
corner was filed. the passage and dor way
leading into the hall exhibited crowd Ct
anxious faces endeavoring TO get glimpse Of
the stage. AT ! O'Clock the Band or rather
the Orchestra, entered the room and taking
their seats immediately in front Of the stage
proceeded to discourse most sweet music to
the qualification Of the audience; after which
the curtain rose and the Schoolmastcr Of
illinois was presented to our view. The

The naturalization statistics of
Baltimore City present remarkable con-
trast as between the last and previous
years, and should, we think, teach an
important lesson. According to table
in The .Amcrican, of Thursday, the num-
Der naturalized during 1858 was 40,
and the number who declared their
intentions to become citizens was 10:
in 1857 there were 537 naturalizcd and
23S declared intentions 2,235 were
naturalizcd in 1856 and 1881 declared
intentions in 1855 there were ash
naturalized and l,402 declared inten-
tons in 1851, 1910 were naturalizcd
and 3,26S declared intentions. The
lesson to be drawn is, that when the
locofocos have a chance of carrying
city they crowd foreigners through by
the thousand, by all sorts of tricks, and,
as facts have proved, by every manner
of perjury and deception; and that
when they have no chance of success
they let the naturalization business take
care of itself; let it run on with its
natural flow, and those foreigners who
really wish to become American citizens
get naturalized with that view. Thus,
last year, one hundred and forty were
naturalized, when that party knew they
had no chance to carry the city, (al-
though they made some gullable coun-
trymcn believe they had), while in 1856,
when they thought they could carry the
city, they forced through the courts the
enormous number of tho thousand, two
hundred and Mirty.fve; and these hot
bed citizens drowned the voice of an
equal number of American born men,
And the practical result of the lesson,
thus taught, should be the enactment of
law which would prevent the rushing
offoreigners pcll-mell through the courts,
by INSCRIPTIONS politicians, using brides
and perjurers, in many cases, for the
purpose. No fair and impartial foreign
born man, who came to this land to make
himself a respectable home and become
responsible and well-behaved citizen,
taking his place among our people as a
man among men, will doubt the propriety
of some law to prevent the great abuses,
under the present naturalization system;
such as, for instance, requiring every
man naturalized to wait one year there
after before becoming entitled to VOTE
This would keep foreigners from being
driven, on the eve of an election, rough
and tumble, like sheep, through the
courts, in a manner alike discreditable
to themselves as men, and disgracetul to
those who engineer them through.

The indications are that Congress
will, at the present session, authorize the
building Of a Railroad to the Pacific
1t seems to be one of the necessities of
the age, and government money could be
spent to more advantage in its construc-
ton, most likely, than in a hundred other
ways in which it is squandered. Where
this end of the road will be started from
appears to be matter of contention, and,
1t Is probable, that to accommodate this
difficulty, two roads, one to the north
ward, the other southwark, may be COM
menccd, to join together some hundreds
of miles on the way.

OF Wednesday last, has the following story
Who are the Sc lambs " from Elkton
SunArrsG CorrLE or CouyraY LAMBS
A cab driver named William Mcconnell. was
taken before Alderman Gordon of the FIRST
Ward this morning, on the charge of hcering
a couple of counrymcn out of two dollars,
under the following circumstances. The two
countrymcn arrived in this city on last Friday
night, from the inland village of Elkton
Mary land, for the purpose Of spending then
Christmas in the more extensive village of
Philadelphia. Now, it SO happens that many
of the cab divers at the Railroad Depot at
Broad and Prime streets, regard many of the
countrymen who arrive there as SO many
:: lambs, who easily fall Il prey to the sharp
practice Of the several Jehus. On the evening
in question the two representatives from
Elkton alightrd at the depot aforementioned,
and asked for the public house ofMr Dehaven.
This place is located on the opposite side Of
the way from the depot. Before any person
had a chance to answer the question, a couple
Of cab drivers stepped up and said they knew
where it was, and would drive them there for
as ftp - each. The two unsophstcated Sons
Of rasticity supposing all right, jumped into
the cab, and oifthe party drove to the distance
of mile. when the drivers demanded two
dollars. The countrymen demurred, but it
was no use. They were frightened into the
payment Of the sum demanded, and were left
in a strange place, knowing g no cast, no west,
no north, no south" After considerable
amount of trouble. the dupcd countrymen
found the house of Mr.. Dchavcn. and they
made known the adventure of the night
Measures We're at once adopted, and finally
Mcconnell was arrested by Mr.. Taggcrt, (con-
nected with the Railroad Company, and the
prisoner was identified by the coantrymen.-
The hcecer was ordered to give bail in the
sum of $500 to answer. Let him have a
trial and speedy justice.

-Thc Inspector of weights and
measures has been trying the capacity of the
out their articles, with an effect very satisiac-
tory to some Of them as the larger measures
held too much although the smaller ones were
in some cases rather scant.
AS all trade is dull and but little
to engage the attention, a few pleasant recrea-
tons were contrived for the holidays; one
School on Christmas night, which passed off
admirably, rejecting credit upon the children,
and their trainers. The church was filled !;
the receipts showing an attendance of over
500. The children of the two Schools were
furnished with free tickets to the number Of
200, and the receipts amounted to $500,
which at one dime for each person, will make
tho number reach nearly $50, as large
number Of children not connected with either
school, were admitted at half price.
The &C Thespians " held their first
theatrical at the Town Hall last night
1t was success as far as attendance is
concerned. The hall was janmed; receipts
about $50. Two Of the pieces were written,
one by a late citizen, now in the West and the
other by present resident, and were dclv-
cred in mirh-provoking manner. Being
elated with their great success, they announ-

IT appears that the meeting of a
number of gentlemen from various States
In the Union, in Washington lately,
called by the newspapers a movement in
favor of Mr.. Crittenden for the Prcsi-
dency, was not for the purpose stated.
The National hteIhgencer says it was
composed of gentlemen who, heretofore,
have co-operatcd with different political
organizations, who held an informal
meeting, to ascertain if there could not
be some middle ground suggested on
which the great conservative body of the
people could meet; it having become
manifest that the two leading parties of
the country, (the Democratic and Re-
publican), both tended to sectionalism
and threatened geographical division of
parties at the next Presidential election.
There was no design or effort to advance
the interests of any candidate for the
Presidential nomination. 1t seems plain
to us that as those great parties are,
undoubtedly, diyerging into sectionalislu,
the great mass of the people ought, at
once, to fall in with the American Party,
about whose Nationalism no doubt has
ever been expressed, Though a smaller
party now, as compared witk the others,
it has the qualities which ought to, and
will, attach the people to it, and we have
no doubt its principles will, ere long, be
triumphant through the land.
