are smaller, the buildings and other inn

quence the population is greater. But then

Delaware is a very small State, the greater
part of which lies low, and is supposed to
be unhealthy The eastern shore of Mary
land is similar thereto. The lands in both,
however, are good. But the western parts
of the aforementioned State and of Virginia,
quite to the line of North Carolina, above
tideWater, and more especially above the
Blue Mountains, are similar to those of
Pennsylvania between the Susquehanna
and Potomac rivers, in soil, climate, and
! productions, and in my opinion will be con-
sidered, if it is not considered so already,
as the garden of America, forasmuch as it
| lies between the two extremes Of heat and
| cold, partaking in a degree Of the advan-
tages Of both, without feeling much the in
conveniences Of either, and with truth it
may be said, is among the most fertile
lands in America east Of the Appalachian

HANEUyREEG FOR A GdASTERLY
RETREAT"

AAhED VIKING FOX A "MASTERLY
RETREAT"
1t is invariably the policy of a skillful
general, when he finds the enemy bearing
down upon him with a crushing force, to
retire from the conflict in the best manner
he can, so that he can save his army. The
persistency with which Senator Morton has
pressed his resolution for the adjournment
Of Congress in May, says the New York
Ne,rs, is an exemplifcation of this peculiar
line of warfare. Since the commencement
of the present session of Congress the
political forces opposed to the re-
election Of President Grant, have deyel-
oped such a formidable opposition that the
Administration is now harassed on all
sides, and is anxious to accomplish what It
may consider a ''masterly retreat"-in other
words, it desires to terminate the session of
Congress with all possible haste, so that the
food-gates through which the knowledge
of the iniquities of Grants administration is
pouring into the public ear may be closed,
and the rising tide of public indignation!may
be arrested. The administration Senators
plainly perceive that the disclosures of the
rascalities practiced in the New York
CustomhoUse-and for the correct ap-
probation of which the nation is in
debted to the perseverance and acu-
men of Senators Bayard and Casserly-
have had a most disastrous influence
upon the Tealizationof their cherished hopes
have, IN fact, proven that the bitterly de-
nounced assertions of Senators Trumbull
and SchUrz were nearer allied to the truth
than Senators Morton's, Chambers and
Conkling's Wanted praise of the purity of
our fiscal system. Beyond this, they fear
further discomftures if these inquisitions
are allowed to proceed, and they decide
that the sources from whence they spring
must be stopped as early as possible at
all hazards. They know not what
danger might oyerwhelm them if Congress
be permitted to sit till its usual time of
adjournment,in July or August In the two
or three months that would elapse between
May and that time Congressional action
might elucidate facts that would prove to
be the Proverbial ''last straw" for the back
of their camel. They, therefore, think it
advisable to prevent the cause that might
produce to them such a disastrous effect
To speak plainly, Grants friends dare not
court free and impartial investigation into
his administration. 1t is rotten from the
head to the extremities, and it is only by its
entire removal that prosperity can be re-
stored to a nation weary of waiting for
return Of that welfare it was accustomed to
in the good old days.

EDITORS AS OFFICE.HoLDERs.

Col. John w. Forney, editor of the
Philadelphia Press, having resigned the Col
lectorship of the Port of Philadelphia, TO
which he was appointed less than 4 wear
ago, on the ground That the retention os the
office ''interfered with his independence as
a journalist" the St. Louis Democrat.
(RadicaD approves the course of Col.
Forney, because "ofice-holding journalism
is an evil of the civil service that needs re-

"COl. Forney having rendered his resigna-
ton, We may now look to see his GOOD ey-
ample followed in other places. Mr.. Full
ton, of the Baltimore -Amcgicaa. and Mr..
Raster, of the Chicago Slaafs ZcituDg. will

the genial and editorial postmaster Of Co

editor of the Ohio State journal. Let
there be a clean and voluntary sweep Of

of the Philadelphia Convention"
The Democrat would be as successful il
calling spirits from the vastly deep, as in ap-
pealing to Radical editors to resign the of

is the only Radical editor we have heard Of
who has voluntarily given up fat Office.

THE corruption which has been devel-
oped in Florida is but sample of the car
pet-bag rascality that has been practiced in
the South under Radical rule. A citizen
of Florida telegraphs TO Senator Osborn at
Washington that the charges upon which
Gov. Reed, Of that State, was impeached,
were corruption, fraud, stealing, lying,
and corrupt use of the Executive patron
age" The correspondent adds: "Cobb,
the Secretary Of State, las been embezzling
the Commission fund, and the State Treas
Iuer is also implicated in it. Several hun
bred thousand dollars are unaccounted
for" These are grave charges against the
Florida officials, but it must be borne in
mind that they come from a Radical.
