Sargent and t . Mining Law.
The few papets of the State opposing Sargent’s election to the United States Senate, assail him for securing the rene of the law, allowing placer tuinéts to pre-empt their
tents to their lands, The law is not
only heartily approved by those interested in mining now, but its passage was” almost ‘unanima indorsed by miners while it was pendwas pending, the Bulletinpublished
tion the press of the mining counties
either ner tactily,approves Sargent’s (3 or Pe ale of mineral
published) im the most prosperous
mining county in the State, and
where there was fogmerly:the strongest opposition to.such a measure,
nays it should become a law ‘without
dslay. Its passage would stop a
‘world of costly litigation, and would
increase the security and value of
' property tights, It used to be thought
the gale of the mineral Jahds would
interfere with mining rights; the Union now contends that-it-is necessary
to protect them.. It.says that under
the pen oc a have no
vi unless are large quartz
Soden and proabs to ‘procure titles Se ee
no matter what the cost is.
The bill not only met the andorsement in ‘this State, but in other
Places on the const’ interested in
imining it was heartily indorsed.. A
copy of the bill was sent ta Colorado
and it called forth the following expression of public sentiment:

The Alta says: The Examiner is of
the opinion that one of the first acts
of the next Legislaturé should be the
repeal of the State Paper Act, which
is a ‘‘public outrage,’’. ‘serves ne

That Act is’ particularly hateful. to

of its provisions and takes away some

Tr appears from their investigation
that in “killed, wounded and missing,”’ the workingmen in Paris have
decreased in number ‘to the extent of
100,000. As regards some specias
trades the statistics they.give are
very curious. Out 6f the 24,000
workminén “employed in shoeniaking,
12,000 are in flight or im prison.’ The
tailors are equally bad off. The jewelers appear to have emigrated en
masse. The upholstery and furnitare trade, which employed upwards
of 60,000 hands, is just now ina
state of collapse for the want of skilled hands.

Hoxitzx on Stirrrvanism.—The.
following letter has been published
lately for the first time:
Sir-~L regret that I'am: unable: to
accept the invitaiion of the’ Coundil
of the Dialetical Society to co-operate
with a committee for. the. investigation of ‘Spiritualism;” and for two
reasons. In the first place, I ‘have
no time for’such an inquiry, which
would involve much trouble, and
like all inquiries of that kind I have
known, much annoyance: ’ Tn’ ‘the .
second place, I take no intexest in
the subject. The only case of ‘‘Spiritualism’’ I have hadthe opportunity
of examining into 1d? myself, was as
“ an imposture as,ever came unmy notice. But. supposing the
phenomena tobe geniline, they do
not interest me. If snsbody would
endow. me with the faculty o
ing te the clatter of old women and
curates in the nearest cathedral town,
I should decline -the’ privil Ravone things todo. And if the
folks in the spiritual world do not
talk more: wisely and’ sensibly ‘than
their friends represent. them to do. I
put them in the same éatégory. The
only good that E can‘see in a’démonstration of the.
ism” is to furnish an additional argument against sticids. Better live
