The backwardncss of China is indicated
strikingly by the simple fact that although
her coal fields cover over 100000 square
miles, she mines no coal, and although she
has an inexhaustable supply of iron ore, she
smells very little.

MIR. Creswell,s speech.

Mr. Creswell, the Postmaster General,
made speech at Radical meeting in
Baltimore on last Friday night. In refer
ence to it, the Gazette remarks:
at was quite natural that Mr.. Creswell
should sheer at the party he deserted when
he found it lucrative to put his principles
in his pocket. In his speech at the AS
|sembly Rooms yesterday evening he COM
pletely stultifed himself. He first censur-
ed the Democrats for joining hands with
the Liberal Republicans in the Presiden-
tial campaign, and then cody turned round
and advised the Republicans to form a
similar coalition with dissatisfied Demo
Gratis. It was quite natural that he should
repudiate thed krine of State rights upon
which our Fec system was based, for
your thorough bg political renegade is
always the mo- kalous to condemn that
which he form nost earnestly support
| ed. And Mn well, to serve his new
masters and tuate their tenure OF
power, gave q heing proofs that he is
ready to sustainl o6em in changing the en-
tire framework of our Government, even in
trampling on wzAt remains of the Consti-
tuition, making vassals of the States, and
Congress the supreme arbiter of the des-
| TIMES of our PEI lie"
Mr.. Creswell ehe course of this speech,
gave his views pn two of his projects
the postal savings banks and the postal
telegraph. He argued that the former
would supply the only deficiency in the
national banking system, by protecting the
interests of the 5depositors equally with
those of the holders of the notes, and that
the money deposited in them would be con-
verified at Washington into loans and flow
out again into the country, and be always
in circulation to check financial panics.-
Further than this, it could always be used
by the Government for the support ofpos-
tai telegraphs These two measures he
believed it to be the duty of the Republi-
can party to carry out, and he was conf
dent of their ultimate success,

Dropped from the Ticket.

AS the Hon. H. 81. Goldsborough is an
nounced to speak at the Radical mass
meetinn TO be held in this village to-mor.
row, w publish the subjoined article from
the Cambridge Republican, in order to show
in what estimation that gentleman is held
at home by those who know him best, and
by paper of his own party:
"This morning we drop the name Of
Henry. Fl. Goldsborough from the head o.
our columns. We can no longer conscien-
tiously support Mr.. Goldsborough, and
we cannot therefore advise our readers to
do so. He is not worthy the support Of
Republicans, and we do not hesitate to tel
him so. Better vote for Col Woolford
the Democratic nominee, if the Republi,
can Convention can give us no better man
than the Hon. Henry Ell. Goldsborough.-
We will give some of our reasons for this
step in next week S paper; our space is toe
limited this morning.

Turned Radical stump speaker.

1t is announced in the handbills that
Major Elias Griswold will be one of the
Radical speakers at the mass meeting to-
morrow. This gentleman won his title in
the Southern service, during the late war,
in the safe position of Provost Marshal OF
Richmond; two years ago he was elected
to the House of Delegates, from Baltimore,
on the Democratic ticket; and last fall he
was so intensely anti-Republican that he
not only would not vote for Greeley, but
ran as straight-out Democrat for Con
gress against Governor Swami. In less
than year he turns up Radical stump
speaker! We wonder by what magical
process this sudden change has been
brought about2 We do not suppose that
his having received an Office in Washing
ton, through the influence of Mr.. Creswell
has anything to do with it. Oh no such
gentlemen are above suspicion.

mr. II. MLancasfer.

The Radicals of this county, in their
platform, proclaim themselves to be In ia
ver-of szaaivielss met
schools and then by way of illustrating
their sincerity nominate for the House Of
Delegates DR.. F. M. Lancaster, who is
said to be opposed to any such system.
On Saturday last, at the meeting at Tomp-
kinsville, he was charged publicly by DR..
"A. J. Smoot with having said, that as he
had no children of his own he was oppos-
ed to, and tired of paying taxes for, the
education Of those of other people. This
charge, thus publicly made, he did not
deny, but muttered something about
changing his mind. It is such men who
are presented" by the Independents to,
and nominated by the Radicals, and for
whom you, the people, are asked to vote.
Will you do it? Will you send man to
make laws for you who is so narrow and
contracted in his intellectual vision as not
to be able to see anything beyond a per-
sonal point of view 2-and who has not
got breadth of craftsmanship enough to
understand that the intelligence of the
people is the foundation of liberty and
good government.

Trading politicians.

Some weeks since the True Morylande,'
told the people that Mr.. Creswelps friends
were offering to trade county offices for
members of the House of Delegates, in or
der to insure his election to the United
States Senate. Subsequent events have
proved the words of that paper true
What right political tricksters of either
party have to trade offices and positions
we do not know; but this we do know,
that this insolent attempt to buy and sell
the State of MARYLAND to Mr.. Creswell, OF
any other politician, should meet with
such reproof from the people as to pre-
vent all such attempts in the future. We
want no Senatorial seats bought or sold
in Maryland.

Capt. Wells: am SO well pleased with
your broadsides ofred- hot shot, which you
are pouring into that worse than foreign
enemy-the Radical party and its leaders
That am constrained to thank you, and
congratulate you for the noble work YOU
are engages IN. Do the people of Charles
county appreciate the danger they, are in,
with threatened invasion from such a
toeY Can they conceive of an enemy, do
nestle or foreign, which would infiict up
on the county more ruin and destruction
than would this party and its hypocritical
leaders, should they succeed this fall? I
verify believe there is no worse calamity
could befall the county and State than the
success OF this party. Let our people, one
and all, and especially the Taxpayers, ex-
anime the record of this party everywhere,
without exception, and then point to one
place where ruin has not followed in their
track.
Your article, Radical Preaching cs.
Radical Practice" is true bill of indict-
ment against that ubiquitous and God-f
saken party; it is true, every line and word
oft. Lam utterly astounded to think that
such party, with such leaders, can live
and prosper, even for single year, any,
where in this broad land, and 1 can only
account for it upon the theory that the
people are infatuated and iemented. 1t
is impossible that the people, in the exer-
else of sound and sober mind, could sus-
tain this party anywhere, with the dark
record of darkest deeds upon it.
A day or so before the memorable Fusion
Convention, had little talk with gen
tleman 'holding independent views" and
gathered from his views that the fol-
lowing resolutions would have expressed
their secret sentiments better than those
adopted:
ResOlOed, That we want office badly, very
badly.
Resozued That every man ought to have
good fat office, with no work.
ResolOed, That we hate the man who first in
vented hard work.
RESOLVED, That work is degrading and hui
initiating, now that we live on the advanced
plane of civilization
RESOLVED, That hard work ought to be abol-
ished in this age of scientific advancement"
ResotOed, That we are in hurry for good
office and will fuse with any party that will give
us office, and we will not refuse to live upon
the "spoils of Office
Such, believe, were the ''views' of our
independent Democrats. It is a very
proper and nice thing to put oneself in
the way of good things to come, if we can't
get them now.
Captain, beg you to load and fire a.
gain, and again, and yet again, if necessa-
ry, until you sink the piratical craft that
is coasting in our waters and seeking to
get firm Judgment on our shores.
Yours, &c, FRIEND.

trenchment.s
The Philadelphia Age says:

The Philadelphia Age says:
Radical journals are forced to concede
'sthat Congress will be asked at its next
session to make appropriations greatly in
excess of those for any previous year dur
ing the administration of President Grant,
and that there are said to be very large
deficiencies for the present year to be pro-
vided for" This is startling confession,
made after the elections which have re-
Gently taken place in this and other States.
The facts were known in advance Of these
c1ett10Iis. NJ ny fEere tt1ey not iven 70
the public? What was the object Of
the concealment2 Again, why will Con-
gress at its session be asked to make such
appropriations as those indicated2 Ever
since the termination of the war the ex-
penses of the government have been on the
increase. In time of peace we have had
war expenses. The cost of running all de-
partments of the government has mount
ed, year after year, with runious rapidity.
There has been no change in the current
of disbursements, except against the peo-
| pie. Hundreds of millions of dollars have
been expended, and yet the army only a.
mounts to thirty thousand men, and the
navy is as low as it can well be reduced
All the appropriations, aff1ueht as they
have been, were absorbed each year, and
yet large deficiencies are reported. This is
the financial situation of the government
and Congress will be appealed to for the
purpose of pulling the administration out
of the slough. No mention is made of the
imperative necessity of reducing expenses
of curtailing the list of office-holders o.
meeting the emergency in this manner
That is not proposed. All the office-hold
ers are to be kept in place, and the def
cheney made up out of the Treasury, sup
piled by extra appropriation. This is mo-
an encouraging view for the business mer
of the country. But they are given the
facts after the election, and are bound tt
consider them, when all chances of relic
are out OF their power
