Next to victory the Radicals want

lect the strategic points, organize
their forces, and prepare for a 'des-
perate fight. They have not the
slightest intention ofyiclding. They
have committed themselves too
thoroughly for that. Delay is their
only salvation. 1t means destruc-
tion FOR Hayes. It is said that,
should the new arrangement-go into
effect, "N:cholls will surely be re-
cognized by next fall" If Nichols
be not recognized by next fall, he
probably never will be. The adj
ministration is playing with fire, and
unless very careful will be badly
burned. If Hayes really intends to
fulfil his pledges III regard to the
South--we believe he does he must
say to Blaine and Morton, "Get thee
behind me, Satan," and then go
straight at his work and finish it.

PRINTING AND JOURNALISM IN CHINA.
"A Chinese printing office is q
greater curiosity than one would
think. The alphabet numbers away
into tho thousands, and cap and q
lower case goes all the way round
the inside of q two-story building,
and half way up to the roof. It
takes an apprentice twenty years to
lealn the case, and then he has to
use a step-ladder to get at the
higher branches. A case was pied
once in Canton, and it took five days
to remove the type from the form of
foreman. They punctuate wherever
they can drop dot, without regard
to the prospective. When the
editor coins q word the printer
.whittlcs out a new character with
his jack knife, Tho journeymen
set by the square foot, and never
belong to u union. They do their
press work by hand, and use boxing
gloves to ink the type. They have
one paper in the empire thousand
years old, md the bound volumes
half fill pagoda. It is rumored
that Bennett has started to edit
that venerable paper. The editors
head is responsible for oil items
published ill the paper, andis taken
OFT whenever an article of news is
published. Not an editor has been
beheaded in China for the last five
hundred years. The Chinese have
just invented Il twenty five cylinder
press for printing ten chests, with
which they are able to print one a

BI-MONTHLY STEAM COMMUNICA,
TON WITH AUSTRALIA.

Some people may suppose that the submarine
cable scher,e between New Zealand and San
Francisco proposed by Lord Normandy, Cover
nor of New Zealand, to Earl CarnaryOn, British
Secretary O. State for the Colonies, to be under
taken by .,e British Australian and United
States governments conjointly-is a matter that
regards the distant future rather than the pre-
sent time. This would be a great mistake. If
the proposal is adopted by both governments
a very likely matter, the cable will be laid
down without loss of time, and before the end of
1873 we may enjoy the inestimable boon of tele-
graphic communication with the outer world.
We await with the liveliest anxiety further in
formation concerning this highly important pro-
posal. There may be some very urgent political
motives for the undertaking on the part Of the
British government. Telegraphic communion
ton with British India ria Australia would be
secured by this new line; whereas at present,
the British government is depending for its tele-
graphic communication with the British-lndian
Empire on overland lines and submarine cables
ovsr which it has no control and, in case of
war with a foreign power, such as Russia, 1t
would be an easy matter to cut off India from
Geographic communication altogether with Eng
land. The proposed duplicate cable would
secure for England telcgraphic Communication,
with two of the most important of her territorial
possessions beyond sea, Australia and India as
it would pass in it's overland section through the
territory of a power always likely to be friendly
to Great Britain in time of war, the United
States: The safety of the break stations on
Pacific Islands could be ensured by British war
vessels, if necessary, in time of war. 1t is
likely that there will be breaks at places on the
Samoan and Fiji Islands as well as here. We
think 1t probable too, that the English govern
ment will, as soon as the cable is laid down
between San Francisco and New Zealand,
at once lay down another cable direct between
Port Darwin in North Australia and Ceylon, uia
Keeling's Islet in the Indian Ocean, SO as to be
safe from the possibility of interruptions taking
place on the overland line across the Dutch
Islan nd of Java. For our part, we look upon
this cable as a matter Of certainty, and fully ex-
pect to hear news soon of the adoption of Lord
Normanby's proposal by the British government.
and eventually by the United States government
as well.
If, as is likely, Samoa and FIJI will have break
