IN ENGLAND.

The British Parliament docs not Of
fcislly recognize the existence Of the
reporters of the public press, although
there are reporters galleries, with re-
firing rooms and other conveniences,
attached to the Chambers both Of the
Lords and the Commons. After a long
struggle, the right Of the public to OBJ
tain, at the earliest possible moment, q
full account of the proceedings of the
Legislature, has been tacitly, though
not formally, admitted, and yet, should
a member bring to the attention OF tho
Speaker the fact that /" strangers" were
in the gallery, the House would DO I'M
mediatcly cleared Of oil persons, whether
reporters or visitors.
In the carly part Of this century, no
occurrence was more common thu that
Of n member rising and saying, " Oh.
serve, Mr.. Speaker, that there are stran.
gers in the gallery" and q strong proof
Of the great change that has been pro.
duced in the manners and customs OF
the age is to be found in the incident
that a member of the House Of Commons
recently called the attention Of the
| Speaker to the fact that reporters were
not present. The circumstances were as
follows: ...
Tho House Of Commons, at 4 o'clock
A. NJ, July Both, having been in session
for IL hours, was called upon by the
Government to consider three orders OF
tho day remaining u%ndisposed OF, TO wit :
| the Public Works, the Drainage and
Improvement of Land, and the Nitro
Glycerine Bill. The Ministerial agent
insisted that the House should 60 into
committee on these measures, which
would prolong the session for an hour
longer. The reporters being tagged out,
withdrew at once, in a body, their pros.
ence being unnecessary, as the bills
probably had merely to be read over by
the clerks. The absence Of the reporters
was then intimatcd 10 the Speaker, with
the suggestion that their conduct almost
amounted to q breach Of privilege, mas.
much rs they were the only link bo-
tween the members and tho public.
The Speaker t%hereupop replied, with as.
sumed gravity, that as tho House OF
| Commons did not pay the reporters II
had noScontrol owe their services, and
added that these gentlemen had a de.
cided advantage over himself, siucc, at
the end of a twelve hours sitting they
could withdraw, but that he must remain
to tho end Of the daily session.

q aoLpFN AGE.

The present seems to be the great age
for discoveries in precious metals aud
mineral wealth. Since the days of the
M~ontezumas, when golden nuggets were
and virgin silver was easily
when Y e the natives Of Mexico
and Peru drank from gold and silver
vessels, there have been no very start
ling periods of precious metal develop
ments. Gold and silver, it is true, were
developed in various parts of the world,
but the light paying gold placers of
North Carofiua, the copper and lead
mines ofthe Western States, or similar
discoveries elsewhere, were notsuGicient
to excite the people Of the world to any
extraordinary degree.
The grand golden era Of the present
generation commenced with the discov.
cry of gold in California, in ls4s. The
whole world was dazzlsd with the mar.
velous dream of wealth, and the days
Of Cortcz, Pizarro, and the Incas Of
Peru, seemed to have suddenly reap
peared. Even then the magnitude Of
the great discovery was not fully real
lied, and even we now, after the lapse
Of over twenty years, do not appreciate
it at any more than its true worth.
| When we rclrospectively look back on
the wonderful changes wrought during
that short torn of years, and reflect on
the immense wealth added to the world,
the powerful young empire grows up as
if by magic upon tho shores OF
the broad, blue Pacific, eelipsing
in all manner Of productions,
natural advantages and true American
progressiveuess any other State or Sec
ton of the Union aud the world, we can
but regard 1t as a grand Monte Christie
dream of marvellous, unbounded wealth
and startling development. California
was the golden key which unlocked the
vas. portals Of discovery, and in quick
SUGGESTION were made tho great, and lit
tie less startling discoveries in Australia,
British Columbia, Oregon, Nevada,
Idaho, Montana, aud other portions o.
the great interior Of our continent, al
we'll rs in other lands.
The silver era was i~naugurated VIII
the discovery of tho Comstock Ledge IN
Nevada, and since then similar develop
ments of that coveted metal, Of lesser
magnitude, have been made along the
eastern slope Of tho Sierra Nevada al
we'll as in the lesser mountain ranges
far out in the interior among the alkal
plains. Last year the rich silver dis
covery Of White Pine burst like another
brilliant dream Of wealth upon the sus
ceptible world, and great was tho wilt
rush of fortune hunters thither. Man.
were disappointed, sadly disappointed
in their expectations-the majority al
ways are on such occasions-and IL
truth tho famous Silverado has not hell
out, as far as its FIRST wonderfully brigh
promise indicated. Yet White Pine i
no humbug by any means it is consid
erably overdone at the present time, bu
next year it will take its place in th'
foremost rank Of bullior producing dis
tricts. In what direction will tho mex
grand mineral discovery be made? w
turn our face southwark, whore alread,
many prospecting adventures are wend
ing their way, and say Arizona.

during the summer were themselves lat

slant and regular idlors at home during
the war, or busy critics at the watering
places, while Grant was absent at the
head Of The armies fighting down the re-
bellion. 1t would pay to contrast their
attacks upon him then with the attacks
upon him now. As victory after victo.
ry uplifted the national heart, Congress
spoke its praises, Abraham Lincoln hon
ored him in speeches and in orders,
Legislatures laid their compliments at
his feet, public bodies CT all kinds hailed
him as the couutry's deliverer, and in
vitatious poured in upon him from all
the loyal States. But through it oil,
beyond the acknowledgment due to such
demonstrations, he remainedat his post.
What was the verdict of his enemies ?
That he was n cold and inscnsate marti-
net-a mere fighter, who cared for moth
ing but war. And when the war closed
Grant knew nearly as little of the prog
ress which tho North had made during
the great struggle as the rebels them
selves. He had been steadily and uu-
~in.erruptedly absent for four long years,
and when the great work of arms was
done he had won the right to see for
