TAN-Bun' LICENSES.—In the Middle and
Eastern Wards of this city, thirty-eight tav
ern licenses were granted at , the last feSSiOp
of the Court. Not one half of these "tavernsr
have complied with the statnte,which requires
any person applying for a license to keep a
tavern, to hare at least four rooms and eight
beds for t , lee accommodation of travellers. Some
of.the recently licensed "taVerns".bitre not a
bed fora decent dog. No fault can attach to
the Court for granting the licenses, for no
citizen made objection, except in one case,and
that thelcourt promptly laid over.—Williams
port Bulletin.
TUE 41.15113E11. BUSINESS AT MARIETTA.—The
York Republican says; The recent freshet on
the Susquehanna and its tributaries has brot'
down a large number of-timber rafts—About
four hundred and fifty ; also some seventy
fice of lumber. The manufacturers from the
up country ask from $2O to $22 per 1,000 for
the for6er,and $22 to $24 for the latter. The
terms being considered rather high, of course
purchasers are holding off for a fall.
The new Texas Constitution fixes the Goy
ernoes term of office at four years instead of
two ; and the salary at $4,000 instead of $2,-
000. ; It also gives the Legislature power to,
guarantee the bonds of railroads for the pur
chase of Iron. The article abolishing slavery
says
"Africans and, their descendants , shall be
protected in their rights of persons nod prop
erty 'by appropriate legislation ; they shall
havelthe right to contract and be contracted
with; to sue and bey sued ; and to acquir l e,
hold%and transmit property ; and all criminal
prosecutions for like offenses against the white
race, and they shall be subject to like penal
ties."
The Constitution Will be submitted. to the
people for their acceptance or rejection on
the .fourth Monday in June. It will be ob
served that in its wording and scope the Texas
Constitution is nearly identical with the Civil
Rights act.

larThe Democratie'organs are predicting
with great unanimity, that if Cohgress does
not give way to the President and concede to
him the functions of the Executive,Legislative
and Judicial power, there will be civil war.
In the same spirit the slaveholders constantly
asserted, while they were preparing for the per
petration of the crime, that if Congress did not
accord to slavery more than constitutional
rights, there would be a rebellion. That re
bellion did take place and it was crushed.—
Now let us ask whether the Democracy,while
they are claiming more than constitutional
power for the President, are, like the slave
holders, preparing for rebellion? if they are,
like the sisveholders, the Democracy will be
crushed. That's all.
I How Mtnnons ARE Mxos.—Probably few of
our readers have a very clear idea how the
huge mirrors that are so fashionable and ex
penSive nre made. The plate-glass which
conies from France or German is first polished
by means of rouge' brushes; next a bag con
taining the common potato, reduced by a pul
zerizing process to nu almost impalpable pow
der is applied to the glass, the potato dust
e'staping the meshes of the bag; then a plate
fotf is spread upon a setting bed of marble,
and on it is placed tue prepared quicksilver ;
the, glass is then laid pn the top of this and
pressed down with heavy weights. Here it
remains about twenty-four hours, when it is
examined, and if found free from flaws, is
ready for -use.
I '
Fidoenss Movrinten.—There seems to be
no end to "plagues!' A letter from Genoa
announces that the birds are dying off by 1
thousands, owing to miasmakic vapors 111 the
atmosphere. They fall exhausted, and it is
found that the roots of their feathers are de
cayed.. An epidemic in the oyster beds of the
coast of France has raised the price of these
bivalves mere than a third, and late news
from England gives reason to fear that the
sheep have been attacked with s similar mal
ady to that which has destroyed cattle. More
than a hundred thousand head of cattle were
bought in France' last week for exportation
to. England, and there is every reason to an
ticipate a very great rise in the price of
butcher's meat. Since the fright about
trichime, the charculiers (the pork butchers)
Ido not sell half their usual quantity of swine
flesh. The government has done, and is doing,
all in its power to keep down the panic, but
cannot succeed. Pork is decidedly )at a
discount!
State Currency.
It seems very probable that before long the
notes of the State Banks will go out of circu
lation. The act of Congress of March 3d,
directs that they shall be taxed ten per cent,
if in circulation after the first of July next.
It is therefore necessary that they should be
redeemed before that time, and the National
Banks, which must suffer the tax if they hold
the notes at the date mentioned, are relieving
themselves of their liability by throwing out
the State Bank notes, or by' receiving them
at a small discount sufficient to pay for the
cost of sending them home for redemption.
This action will soon, hurry them out of sight,
and there will be no currency in circulation
but greenbacks and the notes of the National
•
Banks. '1
Tan Filarial nt Msxrco.—The lest arrivals
from Europe confirm previoui reports that
Nr.seoxcilir has agreed to withdraw his troops
from ; but the process will be so dila

, its to give Slazimimax all the benefity3f
tlieralas long as he can hope to maintain his
