State Currency.

1t seems very probable that before long the
notes of the State Banks will go out of circu-
lation. The act of Congress of March Sd,
directs that they shall be taxed ten per cent,
if in circulation after the first of July next.
1t 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 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.

The New Texas Constitution.

The new Texas Constitution fixes the Gov
ernor's term of Office at four years instead of
two, and the salary at $4,000 instead of $2,-
900. 1t 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 end prop
erty by appropriate legislation they shall
have the right to contract and be contracted
with to sue and be sued and to acquire,
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. 1t will be OBJ
served that in its wording and scope the Texas
Constitution is nearly identical with the Civil
Rights act.

Ia The Democratic organs are predicting
with great unanimity, that if Congress does
not give way to the President and concede to
him the functions ofthe Executive Legislative

In the same spirit the Shareholders constantly

pctrati0n Of the crime, that if Congress did not
accord to slavery more than constitutional
rights, there would be a rebellion. That re-
bellion die 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? Ifthey are,

of the Court. Not one half of these "taverns"
have complied with the statute, which requires
any person applying for license to keep a
tavern, to have at least four rooms and eight
beds for the accommodation Of travellers. Some
of the recently licensed ''taverns" have not a

PLAQUES MULrrPLIED.-There seems to be
no end to "plagues." A letter from Genoa
announces that the birds are dying off by
thousands, owing to miasmatic yapors IN 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
biYalves mere than a third, and late news
from England gives reason to fear that the
sheep have been attacked with similar NAL
ady to that which has destroyed cattle. More
than hundred thousand head of cattle were
bought in France last week for expectation
to England, and there is every reason to an
ticipate very great rise in the price of
butchers meat. Since the fright about
t-ichina, the charcutiers (the pork butchersj
do 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

Republican Victories i'm the West,

At the city charter election OF Galesburg,
H., on the I'd inst, the regular Republican
ticket, headed with John a. Marshall for
Mayor, was carried by a handsomely in
creased majority.
The Union ticket at Dayton, Ohio, is elected
by 300 majority, except the Mayor, Democrat,
who is elected by small majority.
At Jackson, Michigan, the Republicans
have elected DR.. McNaughton, Mayor, by Is
majority-a gain of lGO and James Donnelly,
editor of the Daily Citizen, Recorder by SO
majority, Republican Treasurer and Mar
shall were also elected.
HThe town election of Indianapolis on the
ID has resulted in the triumph of the Repub-
lican Union ticket by over fifteen hundred
majority.
The Radicals have carried the city election
at Jefferson City, Mo, by majority OF over
two to one The full vote of the city was
polled and the triumph is complete. To the
advance guard of radicalism belongs the vic
tory,
The Republican party was never so strong
in all parts of the West as it is proving itself
to be in the local elections now being held
throughout that region, And what is true of
the West is also applicable to the North and
the East. The party is unit.
The SecesSionists in Texas have practically
the entire control of that State, electing red
handed traitors to all municipal Offices, who
make use of the power thus bestowed to op-
press Union meu and shield rebels from pun
ishmentS for crimes committed on loyal men.

Sinemahontng Portage Railroad Company. The
following oEcers were elected:

The object of the meeting was to take
measures to consolidate the two Companies
the one in this State and in New York
and a committee was chosen for that purpose
when the name of the Road will be decided
upon and permanent officers chosen. This
meeting was largely represented and a deter
mination manifested to complete the Road at
an early day. 100000 was subscribed at the
meeting.
