A casual reader of Texan papers, just'
at this time, would doubtless come to the
conclusion that the Act passed by our
recent Legislature, regulating the grant-

was something like the far-famed Maine;
Law—that if tho people sanction it at i
the August election, the vice of intem-
perance would be wiped out from the
land. We think that many
chages would do well, not only for the!
benefit of their readers, but likewise for
the benefit of themselves, to republish
the Act. It only proposes to prohibit the
retailing of spiriuous liquors in less quan-
tity than one quart; allowing any and
all persons to sell by the quart, or in lar-
ger quantities.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKJET.
The circulars brought by the Canada
mark a decline of a shade in the prices
of the lower grades of cotton, which may
be quoted at about l-16d per lb. For
higher grades, however, they give an ad-
vance of between the same amount and
^d per pound. The sales of the week
are given as 37,000 bales. Of these
speculators and exporters took 11,500
bales. The cotton market was firm on
the day the steamer sailed. Fair Orleans
is quoted al Old per pound ; fair uplands

THE BLACK WARRIOR AFFAIR.
The London Times publishes a synop-
sis of the correspondence between Mr.
Soule and the Spanish Government, in
relation to the Black Warrior affair. It
is of a hi-jh-toned character. Mr. Soule
had dined with the British Minister and
the affair had been discussed. The
'fimes says five notes had beep exchanged
, between Mr. Soule and the Secretary of
Foreign Affairs for Spain. First, Mr.
Soujc* stated the Complaints which the
United States Government had to make,
and demanded a reply. Second, die

serious than has heretofore been supposed
would result from it. We feel inclined
to the opinion that the cloud of war be-
gins, to wear a somewhat threatening
pect. This impression is
strengthened by what is going on in Wash "
ington City. Mr. Slidell, a Senator from suited to the navigation of the rive
Louisiana, has introduced into the Senate
a resolution, proposing to confer upon
the President, the power to suspend the cient steps taken to secure so desirable

But we have heretofore discussed these
questions, at some length, through the
columns of this paper; and are nbt dis-
posed to renew the discussion at this
time. It is but sheer justice to State
that our Senator, the Hon. LjL. Hill was
the author of the 12th and 14th sections,
which were projKised by hi in as amend-
ments to the Bill as introduced into the
Senate. With these very stringent fea-
tures engrafted on tbe Bill as originally
introduced, we are somewhat at a loss
to conceive of any reasonable objection
that might have been entertained to the
measure on the score of safety in the in-
vestment of the school fund.
