Two Decades-ShowiDg the Difference in
the Condition of the State for Ten
Years under Democratic Rule, and Ten
Years, under Republican Management.
The Democrats had an almost unbroken
rule in Pennsylvania from 1850 to ISGO,
and the Republicans have been in power
most of the time from 1800 to 1871.
The record made by' these parties, within
those periods, iu the management of the
finances of the State, is a fair test by
which to try them.
The State debt on the 1st of December,
1850, and on the same date of the ten
tabic, compiled lroui the annual reports
oi inc .auuuor uencrai :

It will be seen from this table that the
State debt remained above forty millions
some years increasing and in others
decreasing slowly until 1856, when the
Democratic ascendancy began to be
shaken. The public works were sold in
1857, in 185S the Republicans carried the
House, in 1859 they carried both House
and Senate, and in 1800 they elected the
Governor and a majority in both bouses.
During these ten years the ruling party
bad the benefit of the revenue from the
State tax on real and personal estate, and
the tax on tonnage on the Pennsylvania
railroad. The revenue from these tro
sources, during the decade referred to,
was as follows :
Tonnage Tax.

$15,024,984 19
1,136,397 75
Total revenue from these
- sources in the years $16,161,331 94
And yet, with all this revenue, and
$300,000 additional paid in three install
ments, 1858, 1859 and I860, by Penn
sylvania railroad in redemption of its
bonds, given in purchase of the public
works, the public debt remained almost
unchanged for six years, and was finally
reduced in the following four years, but
a trifle, as these figures show :
State debt December 1,
1850 $10,775,4S5 42
State debt December 1,
1800 37,9G9,-847 50
Total reduction in ten
years S2,805,G37 92
Or an average of about $280,000 a year.
Shortly after the Republicans came ful
ly into possession of the State govern-'
incnt in 1861, they were confronted with
the necessity of arming the troops of the
State called out to suppress the rebellion
aud to put the State into a condition of
defense. Hence the negotiations of the
war loan of 1SG1. They therefore com
menced their decade with a debt of over
forty millions, as follows :
State debt December 1,
1800 $37,9G9, 847 50
i War Joan of 1SG1 3,500,000 00
Total $11;4G9, 847 50
The tonnage tax was repealed in 18G1,
and subsequently, in February, 18GG, the
three mill tax on real estate was repealed,
so that these large sources of revenue en
joyed by the Democrats were cut off from
their successors, the annual payment into
the Sinking Fuud by the Pennsylvania
railroad being increased, by the repeal of
the tonnage Ux, from 6100,000 to $1G0,
000 annually.
With the tonnage tax repealed since
1861, aad the threo mill tax abolished
since 1865, the Republican administra
tion of the State has still managed to
reduce the public debt more than one
fourth. A statemeut published, officially,
by the Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund, shows the public debt, July 1,
1871, to be as follows :
RECAl'ITULATION OF TUBLIC DEBT.
Debt bearing coin interest $4,507,300 00
Debt bearing interest in U.
S. currency 24,782,445 30
Debt on which interest has
been stopped 155,976 36
Debt bearing no interest
100.8GG 05
Total debt, July 1, 1871 294,537 yj.
We can thus fairly compare the result
to the two decades :
State debt, Deo. 1, 1850 $40,775,485.42
" 1360 37,909,347.50
Reduction in ten years
under the Democrats $ 2,805,037.92

War debt sin ce added 3,500,000.00
$41,409,847.50
Debt July 1, 1871, $29,546,587.71
Reduction in ten years
under the Republicans $11,923,259.79

Republicans $ 9,117,021.87

1,192,325.97
! Annual average reduc

911,762.18
And this, be it remembered, has been
accomplished with not merely a reduc
tion of taxation, but uudcr a total repeal
of all direct taxatiou upon tho property
of the people.
Wo commend these figures to the carc-
ful attention of the voters of the State.
Divorced in the Desert.
One of tho pioneers in California emi
gration, who went across the Plains in
'49, tells this story, that began on the
journey and has just ended in San Fran
cisco :
While thelrain on which the narrator,
now in Nevada, was a member, was en
camped at a point on the Humboldt,
where the Lassen trail intersects the
Carson track of travel, he visited the
tent of a family consisting of an elderly
couple aud one child, a daughter of
fourteen or fifteeu. The old lady was sit
ting on a pile of blankets under the
canvas, encouraging a most determined
attack of the "sulks," while the mascu
line head of affairs had planted himself
on the wooden tongue, and was sucking
his pipe as though he expected to remain
there forever.
A single glance developed the diffi
calty in that little train of one wagon
and three persons, and that it had at
tained a point of quiet desperation be
yond the reach of peaceful adjustment.
Three days before they had pitched their
tent at the forks of the road. As they
could not agree upon the route by which
to enter California, there they had re
mained. The husband had expressed a
preference for the Carson . road, and the
wife for the Lassen, and neither would
yield. The wife declared she would re
main ail winter; the husband said he
would be pleased to prolong the sojourn
through the summer following.
On the morning of the fourth day the
wife broke a sullen silence by proposing
a division of the property, which con
sisted of two yoke of oxen, one wagon,
camp furniture, a small quantity of pro
visions, and twelve dollars in silver. The
proposition was accepted, and forthwith
tho "plunder" was divided, leaving the
wagon to the old man, and the daughter
to the mother. The latter exchauged
with a neighboring train the cattle be
longing to her for a pony and pack-saddle,
and, piling her daughter and her
portion cf the divided spoils upon the
animal, she resolutely started across the
desert be the Lassen trail, while the old
man silently j-oked his Cattle aud took
the other route.
Of course both parties reached Cali
fornia in safety. We say "of course,"
for it is scarcely possible that any obstacle,
death included, could have interfered
with stubbornness so sublime. Arriving
in Sacramento with her daughter, the old
lady readily found employment for
women were less plentiful then than now
and subsequently opened a boarding
house and iu a few years sho amassed a
handsome fortune. Two years ago the
went to San Francisco, and the daughter,
whose education had not been neglected,
was married to one of the most substantial
citizens.
And what has become of the old man ?
The wife has not seen nor heard of him
sinco they parted on the IlumboJdt.
They had lived happily together for years,
and she sometimes reproached herself for
the wilfulness that separated them after
so long a pilgrimage together. Rut he
was not dead. We cannot trace his course
in California, however. All we know of
him is that fortune had not smiled upon
him, aad that for years he had toiled with
out hope. Finally, fooling unable longer
to wield the pick aud shovel, he visited
San Francisco iu hope of obtaining em
ployment better adapted to his wasted
strength.
For threo months he remained idle
after arriving thero, and then, for want
of occupation, became the humble retailer
of peanuts and oranges, with his entire
traffic upon his arm. This was six
mouths ago. A few weeks since, iu pass
ing the open door of a cottage iu the
southern part of the city, he observed a
lady in the hall, and stopped to offer his
merchandize. As he stepped upouthe
threshold the lady approached, and the
old man raised his eyes and dropped his
basket : and uo wonder, either, for she
was his wife his "old woman !" She re
cognized him, and, throwing up her arms
iu amazement, exclaimed :
"Great Cod ! John, is that you ?"
"All that is left of me," replied the
old tnqn.
With extended arms they approached.
Suddenly tho old lady's couuteuauce
changed, and she stepped back. "John,"
said the, with a look that might have
been coutrued iuto earnestness, "how
did you find the Carson road?"
"Miserable, Sukey, miserable !" replied
the old inaft; "full of sand and alkali."
'Then 1 was right, John '!" she con
tinued, inquiringly,
"You were, Sukey."
"That's enough !" said she, throwiug
her arms around tho old uiau's neck
"that's euough, John 1"
Aud the old oouplo, strangely suudered,
were re-united'.
The woman question is ho
married ?
Where an What is Corea.
Corca is a vast peninsula northeast of
China, from which it is separated by the
Yellow Sea. The population is estimated
at 10,000,000. The country is divided
into eight provinces, and contains some
3G0 cities and towns. The government is
a despotism, and all the lands are held
from the sovereign, who claims one tenth
of the cgricutural produce a3 an annual
tribute. The area of the peninsula is
79,414 miles, exclusive of the numerous
islands which surround its southern
shoves. It is a land of mountains, many
on the seaboard reaching an elevation of
from 1,000 to 8,000 feet." The chief river
is the Ya-lu-kiang, which partly forms
the boundary, but which is admitted by
all to belong to Corea. It is called the
Aye-kiang by the Chinese. The naviga
tion of the eastern branch of this stream
is interdicted by the Corcaus, and China
men found attempting to use it are put to
death. Sand banks arc numerous on this
river, and there is a sand bar at each of
its mouths. Rut the Chinese declare that
navigation is comparatively easy, and that
large steamers could cuter the eastern
branch. The western coast is dangerous,
owing partly to the strong tides among
the islands and rocks. Ou the eastern
coast, however, there is deep water, and
several excellent harbors, of which
Chosan, on the south, and lirougliton, on
the uorth, are best known.
The climate is magnificent, for Corca
possesses not only all the advantages of
hill aud dale, and river and sea, but ly
ing in the very mouth of the great Chi
nese channel, it receives the full force of
the southeast monsoon, with all of its
fertilizing and genial influences. As a
consequence, many ef its productions
reach a maturity and perfection far sur
passing those of North Chiua. The win
ter is much less severe, and the summer
is far more enjoyable than on the main
land. The rtconlc clearlv belong to the
same stock as the Mongols, Mauchus,
Japanese and Chinese. They are brave,
and are true fricuds, but daugcrous foes.
Looked at from a commercial poiut of
view, the Coreans are undoubtedly pos
sessed of considerable ingenuity, as eviuc-
ed in their garments and manufactures.
The cotton produced in Corea is far
superior to that in any part of China ; it
is long in the staple aud fine in quality,
just like the best kinds of Carolina cotton.
The Coreans are very fond of foreign
cotton-cloth, and buy it largely from the
Chinese at the gates. They also smuggle
considerable quantities of it every year ou
the coast. The country steems with
mineral wealth, and has vast undeveloped
resources of all kinds. The people pos
sess capacities of no mean description ;
they are intelligent, acute and ingenious.
China injures the trade of the peninsula
by pernicious regulations. There arc
only three places where trade with the
Chinese is allowed, aud at these only for
brief periods, at stated iutervals. These
trading placc3 are called "gtcs," the firet
of which is on the south o! Fuug-Whang-Chung,
the second near lluu-Chua, and
the third is uow hardly anything else
than a military station. Shanghae

AGRICULTURAL.
Alternate Mowing: and Grazing.
I allude more particularly to land lying
in grass for many years, where a variety
exists. A piece of .the best bay I bavo
seen for many years, cut and being cut
last week, suggested my mentioning this
subject again. Mr. W lumpy says that
he mowed it the year before last, having
done so some preceding years too, and
manured it, as he does all his land, with
crnrifl cfil.ln limn Vi.nnnlit C,- n. T.,1!. .
as well as what he makes at home ; bat
the gras3, chiefly timothy and orchard
grass, was becoming thin in the bottom,
and last year (Spring of 1870) it looked
rather uuproraisiug lor hay, so be rented
it to a dairyman for the summer, and it
was well grazed, Mr. W thinking to plow
up and seed down again. However, tber
has been such an extraordinary mass of
white clover and bottom grass of other
descriptions that it is a prodigiously heavy
crop, and the quality the very best, tak
ing two ajjd three days turning to cure,
being so young, thick and full of sap ; ia
short it is like much of the best English
upland hay, and like that, leaves tho
grouud looking, after the gras3 is cut, as
if the roots were killed, the short stem9
being yellow ; but there is already a dense
ly thick aftermath two inches high on
the parts first cut. The owner has rent
ed more this season for grazing, and will
coutinue to do so, and it is probable that
he will harvest every year nearly as much
hay, and of much better quality, from
half the land, and pocket the rental of
the other moiety, besides using six times
the aftcrfeed, as mowing so much earlier
as he i3 obliged to do lest the white clo
ver and orchard grass should ripen, the
quantity to graze is in fact much more
than is mowed by those who mow year
after year when their grass is ripe. Here
are two fallacies exposed which are very
serious to the country that grazing iu-
jijres an old mowing, ana tnat mowing
early and eating the after grass does so'
too.
I mentioned some years since the par
ticulars of a piece of land on the side of
the bottom part of one of the New Hamp
shire mountains, which, having been close
ly grazed down for two successive sum
mers with sheep, was supposed to be ruin
ed, and being unexpectedly brought to
the hammer through the owner's death,
made several dollars per acre less than
