The ill(i\leaii Liberator-
The Fen inn furor, incident to the arrival of
James Stephens, Head Centro of the organi
zation, bad scarcely subsided, when General
Antonio Lop zdo Bauta Anna made his ap -
pearance in Gotham, (o the special delectation
of the haters of Max. and I lie holders of Juarez
bonds. General Santa Anna came to enlist
sympathy in behalf of tho Liberal cause.
The Herald, though professing great Interest
in tbe Mexican Republic, cannot forego a good
opening for “pitching iu,” and takes occasion
to overhaul the record of Santa Anna, iu which,
only a year or two ago, he favored the cause
of Maximilian, and thought the only hope for
a stable government was “the substitution of
a (.'.institutional Empire for that farce ouiled a
Republic.” It is intimated by tho Herald
that Maximilian refused to reward Bantu
Annas overtures, by taking him into his coun
sels, and the General now espouses the cause
of the Liberals. We do not know what amount
of sympathy the ancient chieftain may enlist
in New York, but the people in that quarter
appear to have a pretty heavy job regulating
the a ) lire of our Republic, just now, without
meddling with the iucohate elements of
Liberalism iu Mexico.

of colored citizens asking that the second
clause of the pending Constitutional amend
ment beytricken out and one be substituted for
it declaring that no Congressmen from the
South be allowed to sit in the House of Rep
resentatives who is not chocen by at least half
theToyal men in his District without regard to
color.
He also presented a petition for the trial of
Jefferson Davis, by Court-Martial, and said in
connection that the trial of Davis at Richmond
at th(,> present time would be one of those great
comedies whjch would hereafter excite the
derision of the world. The petition was refer
red to the Committee on Military affairs. Bush
in the House to-day was mainly confined to
the tax bill.
Fire iu Mobile—soo Bales of Cotton Burned!
Mobile, May 16.
A city warehouse was struck by lightning
this afternoon, burning five hundred bales of
cotton.
Linoleum.—A substance is now manufactur
ed from flaxseed called linoleum. It is said
that it will supersede India rubber—which it
very much resembles, and of which it possesses
most of the properties—in the various manu
factures in which it is used. Like_ India rub
ber, it can be dissolved into a cement and
used in the manufacture of water-proof cloth
ing. If can be used for the coating of iron or
wood, or for coating ship bottoms. It is as
good as common cement, having properties
similar to the marine giue made from India
rubber and shellac. It is readily vulcanized
by exposure to heat, and by this means be
comes as hard as the hardest wood, and cap
able of line polish. The variety of the uses to
which it'can be applied in this form will at
once suggest themselves to the reader. Hith
erto it has been made solely to produce floor
cloth, for-which it is well adapted. These
tacts will doubtless be interesting to the Cana
dian farmer, as in consequence of this new
discovery, flax--for the successful culture of
which (tie soil and climate of Canada are so
well adapted— will probably become greatly
enhanced in value.
Consolidation op the Debt —The Journal of
Commerce treats the proposed conversion of
convertible 7-30’g into live per cent long
bonds, as a species of repudiation, as the ex
isting law promises something else. It prefers
the plan already proposed to levy a national
tax, equivalent to the extra interest, on all
the government six per cent stocks or rather
outstanding securities, and then to offer in
their place the long five per cent bonds free
from taxation. The Revenue Commission not
ouiy advocate this policy, but Bubmit the draft
of a law to carry it into effect. By this the
creditors of government would be compelled'
to hold existing securities subject to this dis
crimihatifjg taxation, or surrender them for
the new bonds issued with a pledge of entire
freedom from all- taxations. But this plan is
not in accord with the existing pledge and
law, and is, therefore, so far objectionable.
Struck Oil at Gadsden. —The Rome Courier
of tho loth says : It is reported by .'the officers
and passengers of the steamer Undine, which
arrived at that place, on Friday of last week,
that the Petroleum company, of which the
Kev. Mr. Rogers, of Atlanta, is Director, struck
oil near Gadsden, Alabama, in the early part
of the week, at the depth of two hundred and
forty feet. The rush of gas out of the well is
00 great that the hands cannot work but a
fe* moments at a time without suffocation.
The oil that is raised up is so much mixed with
sand and water that the quality, or extent of
the vain struck, is yet a matter of considera
ble uncertainty. The parties interested are
very sanguine in the belief that they will have
a flowing well. The tubingjjfor the well will
go down on the Undine to-day, and as soon as
this can be inserted something more definite
will he known. It is said that all the indica
tions point tp a rich deposit of this great
source of wealth. May the fondest hopes of
the parties be realized
The Trade op Boston.— Tne Boston Trav
eler says tha‘, with the single exception of
Portland, Maine, the entire commerce of New
England centres id Boston. Opce Salem,
Gloucester, Portsmouth, Newberryport, Provi
dence and New Haven had an extensive com
merce with India. South America, Africa and
tho West ladies, but it has all departed. Once
in two or three months a bark or brig from
arrives at Salem, but that harbor is flow
maiuly used for coal schooners and coasters
in the summer time. Gloucester has not a sin
gle square-rigged vessol left.
The same paper says : “The Southern trade
has completely collapsed, and hardly a single
vessel is on its way hither from New Orleans,
Mobile, Savannah or Charleston. Our people
have as much cotton on hand as they care
about holding, and wish the quantity lessen,
ed rather than increased.”
Secession in’ Tesxke3see.— General Cooper,
one of the Committee sent by the East Tennes
see Separation Convention to Nashville to
bring the action of that body before the
Legislature, reports that the project is not
received with great favor. The scheme is be
ing agitated by the people, but the prospect for
the success of the movement is not very en
couraging. The feeling of the people is repre
sented to be decidedly in favor of adjusting
the present unfortunate complications before
any farther innovations are encouraged. The
people feel that Congress might consent to ad.
n>it them as anew State only on such con
dition as they would he unwilling to comply
with, but that having once voted to separate,
they would be obliged to submit to any terms
rather than give up the project.
Packing a Jury. —A dispatch from Washing
on to the Philadelphia Ledger, says : “Quite
a number of Virginians, from the Northern
portion of the State, who have been summoned
as jurors for the Circuit Court of the United
States, at Norfolk, -passed through the city
yesterday. Tney are all men who have been
noted for their adherence to the Union cause
during the war."
Why not bring down a jury from Massachu
setts at once ? If the object is to convict Mr.
Davis it would be more decent to try him before
a military commission.
COM M BRC [A L.
WEEKLY iIEVISW OK THE AllilSl A
MARKET
FOR TITK WEEK ENDING MAT 19m.
REMARKS.—Tho summer stagnation seems
to be settiing down unon our market, and wu
have little of interest to note in the commer
cial operations of the week. The weather has
been marked by heavy rains, which it is learned
will prove very disastrous to wheat, 'ibis, to
gether with the advance iu the West, has
caused an advance of nearly a dollar a barrel
in flour. Bacon is siiff with an advancing
tendency.
COTTON.—The unfavorable reports from
the growing crop, both in this and the adjoin
ing states, have increased the confidence of
holders, in spite of the European advices, and
onr market has advanced. On Monday and
Tuesday of the current week very little was
done, and we quoted middling 25c. strict mid
dling 27c. On Wednesday there was a fair
demand and sales were effected at 26c for
middling. On Thursday nothing was done.
On Friday there was a good demand with a
further advance, and we quoted good midi ing
at 30 cents. To day the offering stock was
light, and the demand was good at the follow-,
ing quotations:
Middling 29
Strict Middling 30

FINANCIAL.—It is gratifying to note that
the heavy failures which have occurred at
the North during the last few days, embracing
several large banking firms, have in no way
increased apprehensions of revulsion here, and
the demand for gold has been limited, while
we note a steady inquiry for Southern
stocks and an increased inquiry for bank notes.
At advance in New York,. has stiffened gold
‘here, and we report limited sales to brokers
to-day at 128. Silver is dull, and remains as
last reported—buying at 120 and selling at
125. Georgia Railroad Stock has been freely
offered and sold at 85; City of Augusta Bonds
at 88, old State 6’s at 86, and 7 per cent, new

JEB'FERSON COUNTY.—We, the Grand Jurors selected
for the May Term of the {Superior Court, beg leave to make
the for owing Presentments:
Peace ia ag.uu with us. but many of it 3 blessings have not
accompanied it. In look'ng over our country, and l'l3'ening to
the various reports as they come up to us, we are sorry that
we cannot proclaim that ‘ail is well”—but we are thanklul tha 1
we are no worse olf than we are, while we ciimot predict our
speedy return to prosperity. Yet we hope that * old times may
c .me again.” We regret that we can devise no plan by which
the sufferings cf our people can te a’deviated. We hear tne
cry of distress as it comes up lrom the dwell'ng ofthe widowed
and the orphaned, and the knowledge that we cannot “lend a
helping hand,” but adds to the imensity of our grief. We
would like to Cos much toward the education of the poor ; but
can we? We have talked the matter over earatsTy among
ourselves, but the unpleasant truth forces itself upon ua tha 1
poverty has entered all of our t oors, and that it la only by th e
asjiataLce of a kind Piovkeuce that we can hope even in the
course of time to stem the misfortunes which have poured in
upon us. We are this ye.*r making an experimtm which may
make or break us. ll successful, those who com: atter us wilj
have ihe plt - sant task to perlorm of relieving the widow and
educating 1 lie fa* herbs v
We are moitilled to report that with a few exceptions, th
Public lloadi of the county, are in a miserable condition.
Grand Jury arc to a great extent, powerless in remedying the
evil.- We can only point out the wrong and recommend th e
remedy. The law has made it the duty of the Inferior Court to
look after and supervise the important matter. They have not
only the right to appoint, but the power to puniih, and they
are but losing time and wasting paper when they appoint Road
Commissioners, and fnil to s’e that they carry out the import
ant endd for wli.ch they were appointed. We dohopetha
tlie Court will at once investigate the matter, and save the
Jury the unpleasant duty of listening to eo many corn*
plaints, and of having to allude to the subject thus publicly.
We know that farmers geneially plead hard times, the scarcity
and inefficiency of laborers, but the pubHc interest must no; b 3
neglected, and especially ought this important matter to be
attended to.
The County Records were i ll destroyed when Uenyral fcher -
man pvsred through this fcUte. What few are now in e xiste®c e
we liud correct. The Couuty Treasurer reports no money.
We are in need 01 a Jail. By the abecuce of oae, one of the
means by which the law is made a terror to evil-doers is dene
away with. We hope that some step will be speedily taken
Toward the erection of this important building.
We return our 1 beaks to His Honor, Judge Hook, for his
usu'jl kind.css. To our {Solicitor General, John 1\ O. While'
