MARYLAND. Important Supreme Court Decision—Conati- tutionality of the State License Laws Suse tained. BALTIMORE, Jan. 9, 1369. Chief Justice Scott, of the Supreme Bench of this city, assigned to the Baltimore City Court, to-day delivered an opinion in the habeas corpus case of Henry Drescher, non-resident trader. Drescher is a resident of Newark, N. and was arrested and committed to jail on mber 11 last, charged with violating the act of the General Assembly of Maryland, which forbids any person not a perma- nent resident of the State offering or exposing for sale goods, wares, &c., without first obtaining lneense to do so, The petition alleges that he is a@ citizen of the State of New Jersey and claims that he is not Mable under the said act, first, because that act in eg isin violation of the eighth and tenth sec. ns of the first artiele of the constitution; and second, because said act Is in violation of the second section of article four of the constitution of the United States. Judge Scott decides that the consti tution of the United States does not give any con- trol te Congress over the domestic trade of the States, and concludes as follows:—“! am of opinion that our State act in question is not in violation of the constitution of the United States, and that the petitioner has no cause of complaint. It is there. bn this 9th of January, 1869, adjudged and or- de that the petition be dismissed, and that the petitioner be remanded to the custody of the warden until discbarged in due course of law. The r can be admitted to bail at any time.” Drescher was accordingly recommitted, VIRGINIA. Memorial to Congress from the Grant and Colfax Club=Preparations for the Foneral of John M. Botts.

Union Leacus CLuB THEATER. —Madame Augusta Von Barndorf gave the first of @ series of represea- tations at tis house last evening, The audience was very small, but was awakened to enthusiasm by the rare talent displayed by this ver lady in the comedy of the “Frauenkampf,” or “Woman's Strata- gems.” In this charming comedy there § ampie room for the efforts of the most accomplished actress, A young officer gets into a serious scrape by holding treasonable views, and a stern old baron hearing of him wishes to hand him over to the authorities of the empire, Through the stratagems of a countess and a brother oMfcer the delinquent escapes, and ouly reappears, before the loyal baron when a proclamation of general amnesty has been issued by the govermment. Madame Von Barndorf, as tne ‘countess, was excellent, and seemed to be fully Ace complished in all the seductive arts of coquetry aud eloquence, Mr. Jendersky, a3 Gustave de Grignon, gave universal satisfaction, The other members of the company made the most of their respective parts, During the entr’ actes Mr. Oscar Pfeiffer, the ceie- brated pianist played some of his beat selections. His own arrangement of the overture to “A Night in Granada,” a beautiful little air; étude; “I Jaleo di Xeres,” a characteristic Spanish air; & fantasia on “Ernani,” and Weber’s magnificent polonaise were all rendered by him with the fire, power and bril- liancy which characterize is school, The second performance will be given at tais theatre on Tuesday. PHILHARMONIC SocretTy’s CONCERT.—The Acad- emy of Music was crowded to the doors last evening by an appreciative and fastionable assemblage, on the occasion of the Philharmonic Socigty's second concert, which altogether was an unmistakable suc- cess, The firstpart op ened with Haydn's symphony in B flat, and was given in masterly style, the instru- mentation of the one hundred performers being all that could possibly be desired, Madame Camilla Urso, a violiniste of considerable note, was next im- troduced, and the reception accorded to her was cordial in the extreme, Beethoven's concerto forthe violin (opus 61, iirst movement) was the selection, and beyond question its rendition last evening could not be surpassed. Madame Urso acquitted herself admirably, Her execution, precision, chaste power, unfailing memory and finished stroke elicited the unanimous approbation of the audience. She was loudly recalled, and in response to Ci pec demands played an elegy by Ernst with a sweetness and feeling that deserved'y provoked warm manifestations of approval. Part second opened with Catell’s over- ture to “Semiramide,” which was followed by Beet- hoven’s concerto in E flat, °P. 73. Mr. S. B. Mills presided at the piano, and his wonderful display was heartily appluuded. This concerto was one of the best features of the conceit. A poetic symphony by Liszt, from Victor Hugo’s poem “Ce qu’on entend sur la montagne,” was then given for the first time in this country. The subject was magnifi- cently treated and created a most favorable impression, Though the first time of its perform- auce in America, it is sincerely to be hoped that the superb composition will be often repeated, ‘The con- cert lastevening, under the direction of Mr. Carl Bergmann, may be faithfully chroniclea as one of the most successful in every respect that the society has given for a ong period. OxnrHkon Founp Concert.—The fourth concert of Mr. Jerome Hopkins for the benefit of the Orpheon Free Choral School was given last evening at Apolio Hall and was a most magnificent affair. A splendid programme was offered and the large audience in attendance grected the performers witn sev- eral deserved encores. The entertainment com- menced with Verdi's cavatina, ‘Nabuco,” by Paolicchi, which was atifal ren- dered, and was followed by the song of ‘Won't you teli me why, Kobin,” by Abbott, which re- ceived, weil merited The “Snow ayes ® duet on two pianos, by Mile.

The Pretorians of that ancient and honorable institution are forming phalanxes for its restoration, Already the courtly Wallack, who, though bred in the camp, inherits the polished manner of an English courtier, has Gung out his broad banner, emblazoned with that pertnent legend “Much Ado About Nothing,” to flutter im the van of the coming campaign. The scholarly Booth, imapired by the traditions of his great father and great grandfather, tas shaken of the thraidom of green tea and the confinement of ‘the closet and takes the field in person to illustrate Shakespeare's splendid diction, The genial genius, Brougham, at once the most creative and convivial of bts glorious order, has erected a castle for legiti- macy, where burlesque, pure and simple, will reign supreme in all the glory of gilt, gas and glass. But even in advauce of these chivaine defenders of the faith shines the shamrock guidon of Ireland's favorite dramatic son, the judicious and ingenuous Barney Wiliams. Long before the present prostita- tion of the drama Mr, Williams, with farseeiug eyes, saw the coming storm, with a prescience al- ‘most as curious as the marvelous glit of that other popular Irish favorite, the pig, which sees the ad- vaneing Wind, and, with a wise precaution born only of long experience, close study and great natural alility, immedintely put to the test the warm friend- ship existing between himself and his countryman, Brougham, and the resull of tue test was tie “ Emer- ald King.” So long as managers of genuine erudition and an instinctive Jove of the bewatiful and the true are to be found, se long may We not despair of the purity of the drama, These attributes are notoriously charac- teristic of Mr. Williams, and, combining with them a profuse lherality in the matter of mise en seéne and small surroundings, the vast tide of wealth which has engutfed him need no longer ve @ puzzling enigma t@ Wllputian-minded showmen. It ta by rising above the petty and prevalent mean- nesses of human nature that we show ourselves really great, and Mr. Williams, by the generous, kundiy meaner im whieh he bas always treated his brother artista, has shown himself possessed of a kingly soul. When the genius of Billy Porence burst the trammets of Irish drama which had fettered it tor long, hamiliating years and soared into the high- est realms of bis diMeult and exacting art, the first to recognwe the glad trath and extend a helping band was the frank, impulsive Barney Willlama, Sympathizing weh be yearnings, proud of his striding ambition, Mr. Williams gave up to Mr. Flor- ence tae (heatre, his time, his money ond his im- mense jocal indaeace. With one bound, on the open- ing ought of “L'Abline,” Mr. Florence, as Jules Obea- reiser. (ook his place in the front rank as a great do- Uneator of subtiy drawn character, and Mr. Wil- ams was left to reap alone the wite and fruitful Seid of irik drama.

Unbending in his faith, Bateman has waited, and lo! “La Périchole” has come and conquered, and once more all is light and crowd and gladness about ium. Bateman believes even in his ballet, and the minutest mole on their fair backs grow under his glass into @ mountain of beauty. There are few things pleasanter to witness than the sublime self-satisfac- tiou with which he rather hardly hums ‘De grandira car it est Espagnol,” as he puffs his cigar on his way homeward from “La Périchole.” We do not wish to be disenchanted of the few tilu- sions left to us in life, and while a spar of hope re- mains do not desire to fling away the fancy that there may be still left to us some few theatrical managers who can speak or write the English lan- guage without at least a brutal assault ou our ten- der Lindley Murray instincts, But we are fast feel- ourselves forsaken on the waters. Only the other day, in an announcement which aspires to be classic, we are informed that we are to see “‘Booth’s fourth grand revival of ‘Komeo and Juliet.’ Have Romeo and J been really revived three times by Mr: Booth? Can we not believe that words, like plants, have some private feeling, and that these in- nocent verbs and adjectives which are thrown care- lessly on the world without any brosion, for their support rebel in their souls it their slayers? Every theatre should have attached to it an extra super who has passed an examination in ordinary — English. The selection of the part ot meo by Mr. Booth for his apt rh rg excited no little comment, as it is by all odds the least artistic and effective of his representations. seeming mistake is explained by the statement from Mr. Booth’s own that Juliet is the best and most charming of MeVickar’s personations.

We have seen similar drapery decorate the tatls of fes- tive turkeys at thanksgiving feasts, the ears of roasted pigs 8 civic banquets, and perform other de- Jecting duties of that kind, but we have not seen it d led to so delicate an office before. Still the crowd was male, huge and coarse, a glorious one to sti le with ina fire. The perfume was pernicious and the language slightly profane. A perfect Niagara of humanity si down some rather dangerous stairs, and this Niagara netted to Messrs.
