MINERAL LAND LAw.-The Grass Valley Union,
an Independent journal, has the following arti-
Gle q" Some of the Republican papers, anxious
Tor the defeat of A. Sargent United States
Senator, are accusing him of all kinds of nefari-
GUS things in connection with the passage of the
Mineral Land Law. They attempt to prove this
righteousness by saying that Sargent got titles
to his own mines through the law which he had
passed. In the mining districts and among cap
talists in the cities who are interested in mining.
the mineral law was considered a necessity.
Mining men asked for the law, newspapers in
the mining regions favored its passage and no
objection was ever heard concerning it until pol
icians attempted to make capital against Sar-
gent out of the law. Moreover, the passage of
the law was direct necc ssity. All interested
are satisfied now that it il has passed. tmakes
mining titles secure. Under it a mine is proper
ty We see no objection to the law in the fact
that Sargent himself, under its operation, ac-
qured good titles to mines he had purchased
under the old possesSory custom of miners
The law is not a bad one because Sargent gets
what is right under it. The laws concerning
any species of property are had on the same
ground. Sargent having a right to acquire a
homestead, under the Statutes made and pro-
vided, would argue the Homestead Law to be
very wrong. If Cole, however, should get a title
to house and lot, in lawful way, the law al
lowing such proceeding is perfectly right
Sargent is well acquainted with the wants of the
mining regions and conversant with the opin-
IONS OF the mining population. AS mining is a
great interest, an terest which cannot be broken

The Russian frigate Shetland entered the lower

Lutte of twenty-one guns, which was responded
to by the Congress, Severn, Iroquois and Kansas ;
each vessel dipping its colors as she passed to
the anchorage. The Grand Duke appeared on
the deck and bowed repeatedly to the salutes of
American officers. Admiral Rowan was received
with all honors on the SUetldnd. The frgate
met storm off Hatteras, which lasted till Fri
day night, when an observation showed her to
be forty miles off Cape May. A pilot was taken
at clock Saturday afternoon off, Barnegat
