_.RAHCIS   MELLUS,
HAVING pin-chased the patent right of tho above
valuable invention, for the purpose of supplying the counties o! Los Angeles, San Bernardino
and San Diego, is now prepared to execute all orders with which he may be favored.
The publio ace aw art. that it has been the study of
scientific men, urohiLt. cis'uk! builders, for many years
to discover an article for Hoofing purposes, that will
Withstand siK.dt.ii changes of climate, be impervious
to water, and of sure protection agaiust fii*e. Tha
Inventor of this i-oofing labored many years to combine articles which would answer the above purpose
and obviate the difficulties of rust aud decay attendant Upon tin and shingles, and the des ■.ruction by
the sun and frosi of the various compositions us..d
for roofing. This he succeeded in doing, and uow,
after six years oi the severest trial we would invite
the careful actentien ol all intert.-sted in such matters,
believing that they will be fully convinced of its
practical value both for durability and economy, in
which resp.cts we believe that ils equal is not at
preseut known. This roofing can readily be applied
to roofs of -.veryde.ieription, cither steep or flat, and
can be put on over shingles 01 tin, being much cheaper than the first and at half the cost ot the latter.
Two coats of tha mastic put on over an old leaky
tin roof, will make it as good as new at one-third of
the cost. In prepaiing this roofing a heavy drilling
or canvass is used, which is thoroughly saturated
with a perfectly waterproof preparation, alter which
it receives a thick coaling, upon both sides, of the
flour of soapstone, which sots into the texture ofthe
canvass, aud gives it a firm body, making it very
elastic andrdurable. After tha canvass, as prepared,,
is put upon the roof, another coating of nia._tic,which
is thorm-ghly filled with sand, is given it. making it

English, evidently acting under the impression that
aa insult had been offered him calling for resentment, yet the evidence does not show lhat any insult had been offered which authorized the violence
he used, and he having expressed to Mr. Montgomery his deep regret for what he had done, the
friends ofthese parties think this apology sufficient,
and have mutually accepted the terms as a .final adjustment ol the difficulty.

The vote was then taken on Bigler s amendment,

Mr. Chandler spoke strongly against the bill.

Mr. Bigler and Mr. Wilson offered various modifications, the object of both Senators being to provide for the completion ofthe mountninous aiid desert portions of the route,  although  they   differed
Mr. Doolittle submitted an amendment providing
that any contract made by the President shall be
submitted by him to Congress, aiid take effect only
on joint resolution.
Mi*. Trumbull supported Mr, Doolittle's plan, insisting that unless some provision was adopted.
taking from the President the definite selection of
ihe route, the bill could net pass. Those Senators
who opposed the conatruciioa ofthe road altogether had united with a few of its friends, and rejected
the amendment to limit lhe line of the road between the parallels of 35 and 43, thus leaving to
the President, and not to the contractors, as some
suppose, lhe location ot tbe route. A majority of
the friends ol a Pacific Railroad would never give
such discretion to the President a ' er the experi-
nce we have have had in the location of the over-
nnd mail route.
Mr. Thompson ol Kentucky was also opposed to
saving the location of the route to the President.
