may expect to receive for consumption about

may expect to receive for consumption about
Eve times as much gold as we did formerly.
A large portion Of the increase will be swal-
lowed up by the minis. The average yearly
coinage Of the United States mints, during the
first thirty years Of this century, was, in round
numbers, two hundred and sixty-fve thousand
dollars; in 1848, it was four million dollars; du-
ring the first ten months of 1851 it reached
sixty-tbree million dollars A similar increase
in the coinage Of Great Britain, France, and
other foreign countries, has already taken place.
The main consequence of this will be the sub
stitution of gold for silver, where the latter has
been the chief circulating medium, as in France,
and for paper. where bank notes have been too
abundant, as in this country.
The remainder of the increase will pass into
the goldsmiths, jewellers, and gilders' stores.
We may expect to find vast increase in the
manufacture Of jewelry and gilding-not five
times as much as formerly, for allowance must
be made for the increase of population going
on in the world, and especially in this country
but still very marked increase. Young
ladies' whose mammas wore hair ring, and
were proud Of it, will boast a trinket box full
of massive rings and brooches. The fashion of
wearing jewelry, which is now chiefly confined
to effeminate dandies, and still more objec-
tionable class of individuals, may possibly re-
vive under the influence of large receipts from
the new Ell Dorados. Gold will usurp the place
Of silver in many departments Of the domestic
household. We may not, as we observed above,
require golden saucesans, or golden coal scut-
ties; but golden teaspoons, and services Of gold
plate. will certainly become more common
Similar articles of luxury will not. as hereto
fore, be confined to the wealthy. Gold will be
found in the humble dwelling Of the mechanic.
The Cresus of 1870 like Mr. Killmansegg, of
glorious memory. will
Have gold to lay by, and gold to spend,
Gold to give and gold to lend
And reyersions Of gold IN future.
And the chronicler of his house may tell how
In wealth the family revelled and rolled,
Himself and his wife, and sons 30 bold
While his daughters sang, to their harps Of gold,
bella eta deI0r0!
But the shower of gold will rain in equal pro-
portion on us all. We will not inquire how
true it be that
Gold alone can make no golden age,
but certain are we, that in that distant age
seventeen years are an awful period-no one
will complain, with the modern poet of Change
Alley
Gold coming in, they say, both fast and free,
Alas! know it never comes to me.

Talk on ,Chan0e.

A small printed card was handed round on Change
yesterday by outsiders containing brief arguments
in favor OF having mint in New York. These, all mer-
chants know quite abundant and unanswerabe but
the card in question alleged the fact that the Legislature
Of New jersey at its late session. imposed transit duty

the State Of New York could tax the property

measure, it carried up.

we take the Following from the San
joaquin Republican,. aa =
white man, the other day, was brought
before A. G. Bnine, on a charge of an as
sault and battery upon negro; and the
questions of the relative rights and duties
of the white man and negro being agita-
ted and discussed in the case, he delivered
himself substantially as follows in pro-
nouncing his Judgment:
81 have no objection in announcing here
my Judgment as to the common law Of the
United States of America, in such cases
as the present. Ii may be proper that
should do so, in order that all concerned
may understand their rights so as may
direct the administration of the law. +
hold than that the place of the white man
relative to the negro, Is that of guardi-
an afd protector, bound to the most scru-
puious justice towards him, and the most
exact and sacred regard for all his rights
Of personal security and his rights to pro-
perty. And if he descend from this high
and responsible relative position, and de-
base the moral and social standing it gives
him, and the moral influence it enab es
h'm to exert, by STOPPING to do the negro
wilful wrong or malignant injury, or to
wliiu ly oppress him, either in his person
or property then | will punish such white
man with the full force of the law, for
his abandonment Of peace and duty. The
utmost severity of the law shall be visited
upon him. Such is the position and such
are the obligations flowing from the moral
and legal position of the white man.
The negro's position hold to be this:
He is in sort of state of wardship or
age-reatively towards the white
man-and neither his social nor legal
position is on an equality with the white
race. His duties hence are invarable
Difference and marked and perfect respect
and constant poiiteness towards the other
race. And if he shall turn aside from his
duties and become rude, insoent or inn
pertinent, will leave him in the position
he SO falsely places himself, and to the
consequences which may result from his
illegal conduct. If malignity of manners,
or indecency of behayiour, or insu ting
language or demeanor, he INDUCED ia by
the negro towards the white man, he need
not expect me, so far rs | administer the
laws of the land, to 90 behind the estab~
llshment of such mal-conduct to enquire
into the exact judciousness of any chas-
tIsement he may have received on it, un-
less such chastisement were wholly un-
reasonable and outrageous, and Indicating
spirit of reuenge and not manly ap-
probation of and determination to vindi-
cate the manners and morals of society,
will not be disposed to enquire further
than that it was induced by wanton insult,
rudeness or indecency." l.
