the back in the following handsome way:
- Between the American farmer and the

land in 4 single century from wilderness
into the worlds treasure-house wonder

than ever glad because all mankind, especial
ly the English, gain by the prosperity which
the Americans succeed in extracting from
their land. American llaryests ripen for
the food of Lancashire and Yorkshire. Col
orado and California yield their silver for
the faclitation OF English commerce. The
Prime-Minister in his intervals OF busl-
ness has attempted by way of mental gym
nast1cs to measure the rate at which Amer
lean prosperity may be expected to overtake
that of Great Britain. It would be more in
terestine and practical to show the ilapossl-
bility of any development Of transatlantic
resources which should not promote in the
same degree the welfare of this country"
All this is a little late, but better late than
never. The Times has made up for lost time by
the handsome manner in which it finally ac-
ki1owledges American superiority and En-
glish dependence upon that superiority. All
the former Indifference, and at one time
actual hostility, of the Times to this country
can be overlooked and forgiven in view of
this handsome retraction and apology. We
are glad that the Times is glad, and glad that
it selected the Fourth Of July Us the time to
show its gladnesS.

IT may be remembered by some that in 1865
resolution was offered in Congress that the
Committee on Judiciary should investigate
certain charges freely made in the press.
against one Of the Justices of the Supreme
Court, and report whether these charges
constituted such 4 misdemeanor as to re-
Quire the House to present to the Senate
articles of impeachment. There was an ex-
citing debate Oh the resolution. but it was
finally adopted. Near the close Of the ses-
sion, however, the Committee of inyestiga-
ton was discharged and the whoIenlatter laid
upon the table. A recent statement in the

JOHN BULLS VIEW or THE UNITED
STATES,

ltls not always pleasant to see ourselves as
others see lis; but there is Il notable excep-
tlon to the rule in an article recently printed
in the London Times. It is a matter of very
unpleasant notoriety, and in times past it has
occasioned much hard feeling between the
United States and Great Britain, that John
Bull has persisted III seeing us not only in q
very unfavorable but in a very prejudiced
light. A. century ago he looked down upon us
lit loftyscorn; even quarter of a century ago
he showed himself to be bitterly hostile to
our Government and our people, and that,
too, in time Of extremity, when other
nations were showing their good will.
Lately, however, his views have materially
changed. Upon the day preceding our ami
versary Of National independence, the Lon
don Times devoted long editorial to
American progress and prosperity, and
sent In the most profuse and the
handsomest congratulations that the sea-
son has yet produced. II an enthusi-
astic American had written the article
he could hardly have been more joyful over
the outlook, and we doubt whether any
American orator, as lie unloosed his eagle
that day, sent the bird Of freedom on high
er flight. The Times is satisfied with every
thing. It is glad that Gen. Grant was not
nominated, and that the American people
s'prefer that the White House should repre-
sent simply the American people, and not
either individual renown or an individual
grievance" It is glad that both Garfield and
Hancock we're nominated, because "both
are so respectable and moderate that twould
be hard for an American who was neither
Republican nor Democrat to choose between
them" It is glad that individual Amer
leans, cooperating with boundless physical
resources, have created . National structure
unexampled in the history of empires" It
congratulates us upon the rapid growth not
only Of our cities but OF our rural towns. It
prints gratuitously the following trstrclass
prospectus Of our natural advantages, which
will help us materially in bringing. over more
