The Flow of Specie to Asia-A
Practical Question.

To China and India, and espe-
ciaIly to China, the specie of tie
world has flowed for ages, and
continues to flow as water into "a
great gulf. Nearly every steamer
that leaves San Francisco for Chi
na takes out, a large amount, and
the steamer China, which sailed
on the LIST inst. for Hong Kong
and Yokohama, carried within a
fraction of seven hundred thou,
sand dollars in treasure. The
Asiatics have tea, silks and other
things to sell, which we and the
people of other nations must have;
but they do not take of us in re,
turn manufactures and products.
exclusive of specie, to balance the
trade. Indeed, the balance is al
ways largely against u.s.. and has
to be made up by the shipment of
specie. This extraordinary and
continual gulf in Asia for the pre-
ciouS metals is a very curious
thing to contemplate. But the
practical question for us toconsid-
er--and for our Government, mer-
chants and shippers to consider
is how we are to create or stimu-
late a market in Asia for Ameri-
can manufactures and products,
80 as to bring about a balance of
trade. The time appears favora-
BILE for this. Under the present
comparatively liberal government
of China and the Burlingame
treaty, and in the rapid develop
ment of trade with Japan, there
appears to be good opportunity
for increasing our exports to that
part of the world, and for introdu.
cling many things from this cOun-
try which the Asiatics may want.
or would soon learn to want. We
call the attention of Congress
and of our merchants to the inn
portance of this subject There is
u race commencing among com.
lnercial nations for the opening
and future trade of Asia, and, con
sidering our geographical position
and the enterprise of onr people,
this country ought, soon to have
the largest share, Shall we seize
the advantages or jet them slip
from us when they are within our
grasp? That is the Question N.

The Penitentiary.

A By is before the Legislature
TO alter and extend the lease of
the State Penitentiary twenty-one
years, at d rent o. $4,000 the first
year, $4,000 the second, and in
creasing 81 900 each year until the
expiration of said lease. The Leg
lslature, at its last session, passed
an act requiring the Governor to
issue bonds of the State to the
amount OF S500,000, bearing inter
est at the rate OF seven per cent.
per annum, for the purchase of
machinery for this institution; and
the people of the State are taxed
to the amount of $4,000 a year
to pay the interest OH these bonds.
This bill was considered one of the
most corrupt measures passed at
the session OF 1869; yet it is now
proposed to give this $4,000 a
year of the peoples money to prl-
vate individuals, besides the labor
OF between three and fourhundred
convicts, for term of twenty-one
years-and that for a small frac-
ton of the actual cost to the State.
This has every appearance of
being a wholesale fraud; and mem
bers who support such measures
need not be surprised if they are
accused eli being bought and paid
Tor. Neither need they feel sur.
plised if, with such records, their
constituents refuse to recognize
their claims for reelection. BY
their record now will they then be
judged. They may expectto shield
themselves beneath party cloak;
but they will find to their sorrow
that taxpayers are not SO anxious
to preserve party lines, that they
will submit To such frauds without
a murmur. Let us hope that the
spirit already manifested in the
Legislature to prevent ptleg
islation will be strong enough to
defeat such measures; and should
this pass, even, we have faith that
the Governor will promptly re-
turn it with his vetO.-I Baton

PRESIDENT GRANT.- We do not
believe the harsh and abusive arti-
cles which have recently appeare5, in
a Richmond paper in regard to
General Grant speak the sentiments
of any larger portion of the people
of Virginia. If the indications
which reach us from the country
truly reflect the popular sentiment,
there is feeling ofsolid satisfaction
among the people at the admission
of the state-a full conviction that
we are indebted to President Grant
for that result, and becoming
sense ofgratitude for his generous
interposition in our behalf As to
very large number, whatever may
have been their political opinions

prize it more highly-for it would
be more soothing to noble ambit-
