The D1sCoNTENT IN IRE1ANp.-NTr.
Bright, in the House of Commons,
on May 3, presented q petition from
anumber of English gentlemen of ed
ucation and position, attribnting the
Fepian outbreak to the chronic state
of discomfort which prevailed in
Ireland, and praying for revision
OF the sentence already passed upon
the Fenians. Mr.. Bright said he
c.oncurred III the views of the peti-
TONERS. Several attempts were made
to prevent tho reading of the peti-
tion, but they were overruled. IT is
to be heped that England may some
day open her eyes to the'real cause
of Irish discomfort, and by relaxing
harsh laws and adopting generous
line of policy, win the love of race
always most susceptible to kindness
and humane treatment.

MIR. SEWARD A Buffalo paper
says twen' 'ythree years ago Secretary
Seward visited Carthage, Jefferson
County, and called at the house of
Andrew Walsh, whose wife had just
given birth to three daughters. The
Secretary complied to request to
name the trio. Two Of these daughters
survive, and last Christmas they
wrote to the Secretary q pleasant
letter, reminding him of the fact
referred to. Mr.. Seward replied
kindly, and II few days ago sent each
of them Bible and two fifty dollar
five-twenty United States bonds.

DISMISSAL OF THE INJUNCTION CASE.
The correspondent of the Baltimore
.Snn says:
1t has heretofore been stated that
the United States Supreme Court
gave no reason for dismissing the
Georgia and Mississippi injunction
bills, thus leaving the public to its
own conJectures regarding the course
of that tribunal. These reasons have
not yet been written, and will not be
known officially until the next term
of the court; but from what has
transpired since its adjournment,
there seems to be no doubt of the
fact that the justice who desired the
filing of an amended bill in the Mis-
slssippi case did SO on the ground
that it had no relevancy to the origi-
mol bill, and was not supported by
proof that Gen. Ord Intended to
seize the property of the State; and
besides, it was considered that if
such n course should be pursued by
Gen. Ord, the remedy would be in an
application for IN Injunction apart
from considerations connected with
the reconstruction acts, rs in the case
OF the State of Texas, to which an
injunction was granted on the basis of
the complainant, who prayed that
the writ might issue to restrain the
paymcnt'of certain Texas bonds rep
resented to have been fraudulently
obtained during the rebellion.

REDEMPTION OF MUTILATED Cur
RENcY.-The business in the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency is
greatly retarded by the action of
banks in sending mutilated currency
in for redemption, without complying
with the requirements of the circular
issued in September, 1866. Mutt
lated national bank notes sent to the
Comptroller's Office for redemption
should be sent in amounts of $500 or
its multiple, and should be cancelled
in all cases before sending, by cutting
out the signatures of the officers.
When this is not done, they arc inva-
riably returned.

Signs OF the Times.

Ihe Charlotte IN. c. Times has
the following sensible remarks:
The weather for the last few days
has been very favorable to the wheat.
From all directions, we hear the most
Hattering accounts of the growing
crops. Cotton is backward and the
stand not good, but it is still time to
secure that. We are glad to know
that all the planters in this and the
sections contiguous, have given more
than the usual attention to corn this
season. The time for great profit
out of the fieecy staple, we think, has
passed. The immense field opened
to its cultivation in india, Egypt,
Brazil and other countries, will greatly
reduce the price, and those in this
country who place all their hopes ON
this one article, to the exclusion of
meat and grain, will be woefully. dis
appointed. We need more bread
stuffs, for, from the signs of the
times, we can safely predict q large
emigration to this country during
the fall and winter. Enterprises of
various descriptions are under con-
oShApAooASh. 1hluluS Ol IL more CX-
tensive scale than ever known in this
region will be prosecuted. Already
have many mines been sold to per-
sons who will work them, and all the
laborers will have to be fed. From
what we can gather from reliable
sources, we can safely predict that
5000 persons will be engaged in that
one branch of business in this County
within the next twelve months. We
are now at the crisis Tin n business
point of view of our fate. We have
reached the lowest segment in the
wheel-the next revolution will be
upward. Our prospects are tinged
with the silver lining. In order to
do justice to our grand resources,
we must have enough to eat and to
spare, which can only be done by
cultivating provisions on an enlarged
scale. In less than five years, the
population of this County will be
doubled, and with this increase must
our thriving and enterprising city go
up. We have croaked enough. The
times are hard; money has been and
is scarce; but with the fine weather
and the harvesting of the growing
crops, all our fears will be dissipated,
and relaxation in the money mar
ket take place that will fill our streets
again with wagons and our stores with
customers.
