WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 1, 1884.
SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.


The WhiS devotes a leader to the Nebrasks
question, correcting various statements made by
the New York Times in .perversion of the Wigs
position. Another article urges the importance Of
the completion OF the Dock Connexion, and says
whatever else the Legislature may omit to do, il
should not neglect to make provision for this pur.
pose Every man west of Richmond Is interested
in the completion of this connexion, while the
vastly increased revenue from the Dock should be
sufficient consideration to induce the additional
appropriation necessary for the purpose The
Hhig has several other editorials which we have
not space to notice
The MaI shows that there is no reason why the
South should continue to be the commercial and
manufacturing dependent of the North, and lays
down the following three modes in which the South
is now tributary to the North:
First, in buying their articles of manufacture,
which we might just as we'll make at home. Sc.
condly in allowing them to import for instead of
importing for ourselves, and thus saving the profit
which the Northern importer makes-and thirdly,
IN allowing them to export our breadstuffs in
stead OF our sending them from our own coast
and In our own bottoms.
The Mail considers these three positions sepa
ratey, and shows that the time has arrived when
we should establish the commercial and manufactu
ring independence ofthe South. The proposed Com
mercial Convention at Charleston is looked to with
the liveiest interest and Richmond should be nu-
merously and ably represented.
The Enquirer makes "a last appeal" to the Legis-
lature. to stimulate the members to decisive action
With the close of the week. by an inexorable de-
cree OF the constitution the session of this Legis
lature terminates and thus if any atonement is to
be made for the delinquencies of the past eighty
five days. must be done before the return of ano-
ther Sabbath

tiers.
