FRIDAY, JANUARY II, 1878.

In reference to a statement published in the
Gazette yesterday concerning the present imam
cial condition of Pennsylvania, and its present
prosperous state of affairs it is remarked that
twenty years ago Pennsylvania was as deeply
involved in debt as Virginia is now, and her
credit was entirely gone The Richmond En-
onirer saws 1.-THE same causes which have
combined to produce these results in Pennsyl-
vania, can be made instrumental In developing
the enormous resources Of Virginia and in re-
establishing her financial credit. All that is re-
oered is moderate degree Of wisdom IN our
legislation and an exhibition of all their dor
mant energy, industry and determination on
the part of our people, and with but half an
effort we can place Virginia, during the next
twenty years, ahead of Pennsylvania in all the
elements of material greatness.

CanMbe Done?

Our Australian neighbors, in Victoria, have
organized direct line of steamers between Mel
bourne and Liverpool, VIA the Cape Of Good Hope,
distance Of 1900 miles, the passage, either
way to be made in forty-two days. A London
paper thinks it cannot be done, or at least that
lit won't pay" And here are the reasons /;
We hear from Victoria that the establishment
of the Anglo Australian Steam Navigation Com
pany has been welcomed there with very great
satisfaction. The project certainly is good one,
and it has come out under very respectable aus
pices-but its chances Of financial success ap-
pear rather doubtful, unless some notable i'm
provement is brought about in the economy Of
fuel For steaming the $4,000 in forty-two days,
it will be requisite for the proposed steamers to
maintain an average speed Of twelve miles an
hour, and at present this has not been effected
by the most modern of engines on board 5000
ton ship at less consumption of Goals than sixty
tons per day. So that this means filling up the
ship with a cargo that produces no profit what
ever, aud it also means arriving in port in ship
almost without ballast /; for in a steamer Of this
size DO amosnt of water ballast could compen-
safe for the loss Of 5000 tons Of coal Either
the ship. on leaving England, must be SO deep as
to furnish case for Mr.. PlimsOll, or so light on
arriving out as to be equally unsafe, from crank
ness. Probably the only chance that fulI-powered
steamships would have of performing the voyage
satisfactorily and in the required time. would be
afforded by constructing them Of a larger size
from 1000 to 5000 tons. And this brings US to
the simple question-Is there yet sufficient
demand for such class of vessels to make them
pay? Is the passenger traffic considerable
enough ?-fOr it will be to passengers alone that
the line must look"

Late news from the Orient states that the
young Emperor of China on his return to Pekin,

so that all might see him-a custom just the OPP
posite of that of his ancestors. Like our own
sovereign he has very sensible ideas about meet

converse with him.
Hopes are entertained that new and more
liberal state of things is about to be nuuguruted.
both in ideas and action. 1t is even thought that
the working of coal aud iron mines and the intro
ductiorof railways will ere long be sanctioned by
the Government of Pekin.
The Kutow question. to which we alluded 6 few
weeks ago, is again revived, some of the manda-
rims opposing its abolition. But the young Em-
peror will doubtless carry out his reform in spite
of their opposition.
A Pekin correspondent states that " for the
past few days the city has been crowded with a
host Of sturdy beggars from Human, all armed
with passports, setting forth on account of the
foods which destroyed so much OF the crops of
last year, at such place. the herein mentioned

permitted 10 travel in search OF food or other ne
cessares of life he good and benevolent are
