The comments Of the English press upon

were exceedingly temperate. A journal which

iriendliness for this country, The ST. Jamess

citizens OF another country must either be

of our Government was well grounded il iact
and in international law. This passage shows
the moderation and logical dircctness of its
views:

1t seems as if the truth in the New-Jerscy

Mr.. Hill, who represents the Paterson, \. D.,
District in the House, made 4 speech ycster-
day in the course of the Tariff debate which
was full of suggestive statistics concerning the
silk industry in this country. He showed that
state OF prosperity, which was hardly hoped
for few years ago, had since come about.
His speech was a gratifying exhibit of the
work, and shows what our domestic manufac-
turers can do with a little pluck and encOur-
agement from the Government.
The Presidents decision in the Ftz John
Porter case will probably not be much OF
snrprise TO that officer and his friends, although
their hopes may have been somewhat raised
by the interest which General Grant lately
took in the case. The President has Informed
General Porter that he cannot interfere III the
matter. His decision is based on the opinion
of the Attorney General. All the members of
the Cabinet agree with the President that his
conclusion is just one under the law and the
circumstances of the case.

This is indeed late day for the House of
Lords to acquire prerogatives. In the opinion
of some Liberal Engishmen the Upper House
is fast losing many of those which were
deemed secured to it, TO Mr.. Gladstone and
his followers it must appear little less than I'M
pertinent for the Marquis of Salisbury to al
firm that since the Commons have voted Tor
the Closure, the Lords have become the
judges to decide when popular opinion is so
opposed to the Lower House as to force the
Ministry to resign or dissolve Parliament Our
cable dispatch states that this is only Il revival
of an old revolutionary doctrine of the
Marquis's, which the Conservatives once re
fused to adopt 1t is not likely however,
after the rebuff which they received in conncc-
ton with their attempt to investigate the
workings of the Land act, that the Lords
will now incline strongly to the Marquis OF
Salisbury's way OF thinking.
