Our MINERAL REsoUEcEs.-Iu view Of
the great interest manifested by the
Pacific delegation in Congress, and by
the public generally in the collection
and dissemination Of authentic informa-
ton on the subject Of our mineral re-
sources, and the Importance Of continu-
ing the work on the creditable basis
established by the recent Commissioner,
]. Ross Browne ; the Secretary Of the
Treasury will, it is understood, not
mako any appointment to fill the exist
ing vacancy excepting upon grounds Of
scientific and practicable qualifications.
Mr.. R. W. Raymond, editor Of the
American Journal Of Mining, is the gen.
tleman most prominently designed for
such position, and it is probable he will
receive the appointment. He is grad
uate Of the School Of Miners of Frieburg,
and is strongly Endorsed by the Pacific
delegation. Mr.. Browne is at present
engaged in the supervision Of the proof
sheets Of his recent report. It is an
elaborate document of six hundred pa
ges, and embraces description Of
every prominent mine west Of the Rocky
Mountains.

TIE English House of Commons ha

The English House of Commons has
passed a law abolishing logging in the
army. While putting an end to n cruel
and barbarous punishment, the Com
mons should provide that there shall
not be substituted a more exquisite tor
ture. Bucking and gaggiug haa been
introduced in the American navy, in
stead Of the cat, which was abolished in
1850, and, from all accounts, the pain
Of the suffering is intense. On land,
imprisonment, with a bread aud water
diet, is sometimes adopted as the PEN
atty /; but even 10 the army, the COM
plants are frequent Of the indiscriminate
application Of the buck, which consists
in tying the culprit neck and heels, with
a crowbar thrust through the fettered
limbs. Still, cutting a man to pieces
with tho lash, as has often been done,
il a remnant Of that 6endish discipline
which made the old. Prussiau service
the terror Of the soldier. In France,
the appeal to the sense Of honor OF the
private proved much moro effective, and
shows that great victories may be gained
without treating the army like a herd
Of cattle.

POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES
II has recently been officially declared
(by the Directors Of Statistics) that
I" the total population Of this country
now consists Of about $4,000, 900 per-
sons" That our population is at least
5000, 900 greater than the number
stated, the following statement is offered
to prove. Surprising our growth to
have been uniform throughout each de-
cade, the average annual increase from
1890 to 1850 was 500 per cent. Assum-
ing that this rate, but for tue rebellion,
would have continued throughout the
present decade, and we have at the close
Of the year 1867, q population Of 3d.
405, 45l. The war, however, greatly
retarded our growth, and certain dcduc-
tions must consequently be made. On
the authority Of the War Department,
the total loss of the Union armies is
stated at 2S0,757. Adding a like num-
Der to the rebel losses, and we have a
total Of 56l,5l4 as the number Of SOL
diers killed, died Of wounds, and from
disease. IN addition to this vast num-
Der, allowance must be made for lives
lost in irregular warfare; for deaths OF
uou-combatants, arising from mental or
physical Suffering, consequent on the
war; for "draft emigrants," who still
remain abroad for the emigration to
Mexico, Brazil and other countries, and
for the diminution in the number OF
births. A still greater loss, rs a conse.
queuce Of the war, is found in the re-
tardation Of immigration. All these
causes combined probably have dimin-
ished our numbers to an amount equal
to the losses in the field and the hospital.
This would give = total OF l,l23 ,O2s.
But making a most liberal estimate, and
also for the sake Of convenience, deduct
LAOS, 45l, and there is left, according
to the basis which experience has shown
to be the actual rate of increase, n total
of 80, 900, 900, or 5000, 900 more than
the number stated in the document re-
ferred to. The same authority gives
the rate Of increase of births over
deaths at 1888 per cent. per annum.

POLITICIANS easily find reasons for ex-
Guiding the votes of opponents or ad-
hitting those of friends. The argu-
ments pro and cor at elections upon the
qualifications Of electors, might be pre-
served as excellent specimens Of the
ingenuity Of the human intellect in find
ing reasons for q predetermined course
of conduct. But the election officers in
q certain township in Ohio have GER
tainly gone far beyond the principles OF
any previous case, in rejecting the vote
of q man whose wife was confined in an
insane asylum of another county. Man
and wife, according to this novel doc
trine, must unite in the exercise Of the
elective franchise, and as the husband
resides with his wife and moi the wife
with the husband, the asylum was tho
voters domicile.

AMERICAN ideas are beginning to be
appreciated in Europe. Our mother,
England, flche, our inventions, steals
u books, and then earps at Yankee
notions. But this has been the custom
of our Queen-of-the- Ocean parent, ever
since we wrested the trident from her
grasp in 1912. Austria, Of all the other
Kingdoms, is putting Great Britain to
the blush, and W. are sorry for Brit
tania. The radical Reichsrath Of that
progressive nation has just provided for
the education of the masses; and to
effect this laudable end, a system OF
public schools has been provided for.
Public schools in Austria Who would
have dreamed Of such q thing ten years
ago. Austria is doing we'll and If she
continues in her present course Of pro.
gress, Bismark will have to seek for
some arm more potent than needle-guns
to maintain the ~ascendancy Of Prussia.

JUICE McC oRxLE.-Among the pas

which arrived at San Francisco, night
before last, was Joseph W. McCorkle,
formerly of Virginia city. 1t is said
that Joe expects to be q candidate for
U. s. Senator, in case the Democrats
carry the Legislature. Pity the Demo-
Gratis could not find better timber among
men who live here, and whose interests
are here, and who are identified with
the welfare Of the State. We could
name three or four men in that party
who have these requisite qualifications,
and who would be better entitled to
such a reward, in preference to either
McCorkle or John Nugent. But, we
have no fears that the Democrat, will
carry the Legislature-if the Union
party will only make proper nomina-
tons.

ga New KIND OF Resistance This
heading is chosen by one Of IL eI-
changes for a short article on tho "Per-
f~ectionists Of the Oneida Community,
and the principle Of healing through re-
sisting the disease in faith. One Of the
members told Of being cured Of q severe
cough in less thaa three days, by re-
sisting it in carnestness and hith. The
writer relates it with a gentle approach
to humor, and says, "This is an mex
peusive remedy-unpleasant for the
doctors, but very good for those who
have n will strong enough to say they
won't" The more corrupted n principle
becomes, the moro palatable it is to that
large class of mankind who, with minds
formed in ignorance of correct principle,
think that all thoy do not know would
make u very small book. When they
are told Of healing by the prayer Of
faith and the laying on Of hands, they
treat it with unmitigatcd denunciation;
scoff et the very idea, and deride oil who
so believe as fanatics. When told Of
healing by resisting in faith, they shrug
their shoulders, shake their sapient
heads, and smile q sweet smile Of pity
on the deludcd individual, half agreeing
with him to humor him. But when
they arc told Of people being healed by
mesmeric passes, by the touch OF tho
Zouave Jacob, by electro biology, or in
some similar manner, though the causes
by which the cure is produced may be
equally as greats mystery to them, They
can swallow all down-for there is moth
ing about God In it; man doe, 1t, and
they are men. Their vanity is fed, and
they are satisfied. So it is with every.
principle which is declared to have been
revealed by the Lord. They will fight
against it., contesd with it, declare it
false, and calumniate its defenders ; but
let the evil one present a counterfeit,
oven If done In the clumsiest manner,
and it is accepted as genuine instantly.
