THE E1Sr INDIA rELEGRAPR

That China is a vast country, very densaly
pcorlcd. the civilized world has long known !;
though there has always been lurking
suspicion that her Numbers were largely
ovcr-estimated The highest estimate of forty
years ago was 333,OOO,OOO; but, though millions
persisted by the sword or famine during her
recent civil war. her rulers have returns care
fully collected for taxing purposes Which make
the present aggregate 414,OOO,OOO This must
be considerably more than onethird of the
human race.
But the extent of her trade and wealth are
likewise unapprcciated by Christendom. In
the wear 1863, the amount of her trade with
Great Britain alone was $237OOO,0OO in gold;
so that her entire foreign trade mus have
amounted at least 70 $500 100000 But this is
but fraction when COntrasted with her do
nestle commerce. Her people are not savages;
they are eminently ingenious and Industrious.
They produce immensely. ana they exchange
freely with each other. They are nation of
workers and traders; they are al educated at
least to read and write; and in the absence Of
a Postal system, they will naturally be at
home, as they arc known to be in California,
extensive patrons of che Electric Telegraph.
The Atlantic Cable earned. during the first
six months of its working, f99l GEO, or 81 ,400,-
900 in gold. At the end of nine months only,
those receipts wero at the rate of G43O,0O0 or
over $2,OO0,OOO per annum IN gold showing
rapid and signal increass. . ,.
From London to Bombay, the Telegraph
passes under different seas and through savage
and desolate regions, which render it liable to
continual breaks and Interruptions, so that no
reliance can be placed on its punctuality OF its
cclerity-nessages being transformed on the
way till their own fathers would not know
them, and sometimes Gt is said) anticipated
by adyices through the mail. And yet there al
ready pass between Bombay and London no
less than 10000 messages per annum, at an
average charge of S2I each, yielding revenue
of $4,000.
Such are some of the facts which seem TO
warrant u confident belief. that the proposed
telegraph connecting tho great seapOrts of
China wiltproye highly profitable to its stock
holders rs We'll as advantageous to commerce,
while rejecting honor on the country which
projected and constructed it, 1t onght TO pay
well from the hour Of its completion, and inn
mensely better when connected. AS it soon
must be, with the general system OF Telegraphs
throughout the civilized world. 5.l-7
New-York tribune., 1868-08-24

Again Mr. Seymour says; Thoughtful men feel
that there have been wrongs in the financial
management which have been kept from the
public knowledge" Thoughtful men do not
feel anything except on the evidence of what
they know. If Mr.. Seymour knows of any
wrongs in the financial management, which
/" have been kept from the public knowledge
he is himself guilty Of keeping them from 'he
public knowledge. If he does not know of
any, but makes his statement without any facts
to base it upon, and from mere partisan malice,
then he is guilty of Misrepresentation. One OF
the first qualifications for President should be
the candor to avoh saying what he Adoes not
know to be true.

Some noodle, who felt apprchensive that
HoratiO Seymour was holder of United States
bonds, addressed an iEquiy to him upon the
subject, and was promptly answered 10y NJ
Seymour through his private secretary, to the
effect that he did not hold, and neyerhad held,
dollar of United States securities. We cannot
imagine that any one not a born IDIOT could ever
have entertained any doubt upon THIS point
Horatio Seymour is the last man to invest
cent in the securities of the Government when
it was to be used TO suppress rebellion. HAD
the question been whether he had invested ia
Confederate bonds it would have beea a mucn
more rational one. ID III. lr.s.. -aPr,I

EX-Gov. Seymour says: Under its (Con-
"gress's) influence, some of the States organized
"by its agents are proposing to deprive the peo-
"ple of the light TO vote for Presidential cleo
" tors, and the first bold steps are taken to des-
" troy the right Of suffrage Should any of the
Southern States cast their electoral votes
through their Legislatures, instead of by elec-
tors elected by the people, it will be only what
South Carolina, Democratic State of the olden
time, has always done until now. The Demo-
Gratis Of South Carolina will have the first
opportunity they ever enjoyed of voting for
Presidential electors. If this is a bold step
toward destroying the. right of suffrage, why
did not the Democratic party find it out when
it was so long pmcticed by themi 'u

without distinction of party, there is q
strong feeling in favor of that line of action
which shall restore order and confidence, and
shall lift of the burdens which now hinder
and vex the industry of the country"
SO says exlGov Seymour, and SO say we.
But the Democratic Convention has committed
the party to the policy of OverthrOwiug the
governments organized by Congress in the
Southern States, and using the army to crush
out the law, silence Congress, and trample
loyal men North and South under foot Is
this a policy likely TO restore order and conf
denceP Instead of tightening, it would double
the burdens which vex the industry of the
country .... - .

Mr.. Seymour, the statesman whose states
manship would have destroyed the State says
that "Our people are harassed by the heavy
"and frequent demands of the tax gatherer."
True, and these demands were caused 10y Re-
belliOn of Southern Democrats, doubled by the
sympathetic aid of Northern COpperheads, and
would be rendered twice as heavy and frequent
as they need be by the policies of revolution,
rebellion, and reputation introduced into the
Democratic platform by Wade Hampton and
Pendlcton, adopted by the Convention with the
same wild Rebel yell which used to salute the
ears of our troops when they were pressed back
on the battlefield, indOrsed by Seymour and
Blair in their letter of acceptance, and now put
forward as the creed of the Democratic party.
