w4RyING FROM an ADVERSARY.

We have heartily commended every propo-
s;tion by Free Traders which tended TO sct'lo
the Tariff question on q basis OF clear, uen-
mite principle. If Free Trade is best, 1t ls Dest
not for one class or section only, but ior Ill
c,asses and all sections. We believe In fro-
toction IA best for tho lawyer, the physician,
the journalist, IA well az for the producer OF
material wealth whose market is enlarged or
.tcadied by wisely discriminating Duties
on Imports So, when The Erenin0 Post
said. "Lot the Revenue Reformers pre-
"pare and submit suoh Tariff bill
"as they would have passed." we heartily
commended the courage and manliness OF the
course thus recommended. So with the kindred
demonstrations in Congress Of Messrs. ). y.
Marshall, Cox, and Parker Any proposition
from that side which promises to make
square issue between FREQ Trade and Protec-
ton will always be welcomed by us.
The World has seemed to favor such an
issue, but now faces about, and counsels IL
guerrilla warfare instead In the course of an
elaborate article, it says:
If MARYLAND defends tho duty Coal, Pennsylvania
can with equal force defend its Piglron monopoly,
Massachusetts s duties Woolen goods and Connccu
out its duties on Cotons. We believe 1t wise TO seize
every opportunity 10 repeal any duty WHICH Is
false In principle and burnnsomo TO the country
Let few bricks DO knocked out OF the arch
OF tho monopolsts, and the whole will tumble
I'm ruins, opening the way for general ad-
justment OF the Tariff upon correct principles WIN
every repeal OF unjust duty men OF tho ind1e cSss
10 which we have referred longer restrained by Local
interess find themselves free to oppose Protection as
whole their constituents, longer dupcd By an I'M
seinary or insufficient compensation, will demand inc
overthrow of system Of which only the burdens remain
The shortest and sest pdy 10 secure thorough rJorm
Is 10 concentrate he attack upon those speeiH fe'e'"
,otioh act as outposts FOR he Protective citadeI"
Such being the avowed tactics OF the anti
ProtcctiOnists, it behooves those they menace
TO govern themselves accordingly. A vote to
repeal one Protective duty being thus made
an entering wedge for the overthrow OF al
Protection, we should resist it rs such, and
choose our own time and manner Of reducing
and readiusting duties. Then we may say to
those who now vote to retain the duty on Coal
or on Salt, while they are ready TO strike down
all other Protection, Gentlemen, your pohcy
"cannot win. Be either Prottctionists or
| Frce-Traders; you cannot be both and You
"cannot even seem TO favor Protection 20 one
"product while YOU vote 20 strike down iro-
| lection in general" We can reduce the taxes
fast enough without destroying, or even weak
cning, their Protective efficacy. Let us counsel
and act with each other, not with our common
enemies, and stand or fall together. II we
thus obey the plainest- instinct of self-prescr-
walton. the tactics of our adversarics will re-
suit in their own confusion.

We print the above az fair specimen of
a thousand personal imputations which we let
pass without notice. There is not a shadow of
excuse for it. Virginia has never been re-
ported by us as infested with the KuKlux
banditti-certainly not within the last year.
Her Senators stated the fact in debate some
weeks since, and Senator Sherman of Ohio
confirmed their assertion. We printed their
remarks at tho time and never questioned their
accuracy. We believe Louisiana also is quite
peaceful at present, and that Texas was never
more so. We would gladly say the same of

THE B4NPANT REUS.

The gentlemen Of the Paris pavement who,
under the name Of the Commune, have as
sumed to govern France, displayed calm
common sense in their first attempts at legis-
lation, from which mankind augurs the hap
piest results should they succeed i'll establish
ing their authority. Not to speak of their
prompt arrest of the "citizens styled servants
" of person called God" (whO is supposed to
be concerned in the infamous "monarclcal
conspiracy, their fagollation OF Archbishop
Darboy, and their roquisitions upon the banks
and churches, they have adopted certain fs-
cal measures of which VIC know not whether
to admire most the financial expedicncy or the
intrinsic justice. Starting with the assumption
" that labor, industry, and commerce have
supported all the charges Of the war,
Z" and that il is Just to exact from prop
"erty its sacrifices" they have de-
creed that all rents for the terms of
October, 1870, and January and April, 1871, shall
he remitted; all sums paid by tenants during
those nine months shall be credited on future
terms all leases may be Cancelled at the op-
ton of the tenants during six months from
the present date; and notices TO quit shall, on
demand of the tenant, lie pTOrOgued for three
months. 10 DC sure, laUulOIub nave served
in the army ms well us other people, and lost
as much as others; and in many cases while
the landlord las been fighting on the ram
parts the tenant has been living in idleness at
the expense of the Statej but the Commune
has not considered such trihes as that. The
great principle remains that the man who has
money IN his pocket is natural enemy Of
the man who has not. Then there was
rumOr that certain Insurance Company had
a policy of 100000 francs on the life of the
ex-Empress Eugene. The Commune ad-
judged that sum to be the prop
erty Of "the people'-although, according
to the vulgar notions OF Insurance.

while her Majesty is alive-and made q demand
for it, which the Company only evaded by
putting their assets Yhere the Commune could
not find them. Next, Law wasintroduced cancel

The absurd rumor that Mr. Sumner, in con-
sequence of his unpleasant personal relations
with the President, had resolved to oppose the
Ku-Klux bill, which confers certain extra pow
era on the Executive, found limited circula-
ton and little credence, and was not thought
worthy of serious denial. Mr. Sumner himself
yesterday put at rest all doubts, if any really
existed, that he would be heard in vindcatiOn
of the right and in support of every constitu-
tional measure to enforce it, by speech in
unqualified support Of the bill, and unequaled
in force ard fire 10y any effort of this long
debate in House or Senate

The Democratic Senators, with great good
sense, which it is evident we must largely
credit TO their leader Mr.. Thurman, yesterday
agreed to finish the debate on the Ku-Klux
bill, without resorting to senseless and I'M
dignifed "ilibustering" motions. The vote
il to be taken to-day, at 1 o'clock and it is
evident from the action already had on the
first amendment, which was adopted by Il
vote of IL yeas to nays, that the bill will
pass the Senate in very nearly the shape i'll
which it came from the House.

cup" the divorce cases which give such
piquaDcy to Illinois life, the possible develop
ment Of Chicago journalism would be an
alarming subject Of contemplation. In the
case of Mr.. Farrar, to be sure, the results OF
the interview wcro not important. That gem
tleman exhibited a singular reluctance to dis
cuss his wifes character. He declared that
he Guessed he knew her better than anybody
"else" and had seen her play Cribbage with
DR.. Scanland; and "this was all that Mr..
"Farrar had to communicate on the subject"
With practice the Chicago reporters can do
much better than this. The Blatherskite for
instance, never allows victim to decline to
communicate anything. In New-York Mr..
Farrar would have been forced to talk freely
about his wife's alleged inGdeiity,--Or in case
of his obstinacy the reporter would have done
it for him, which would have answered just

Conflicting reports from Paris and Versailles
leave us in doubt as to the results of the last
few days fighting OIL the Seine. The fighting
itself has been somewhat desultOIy and ap-
pareDtly without any well defined purpose,
being in fact, only the usual sklimlshes ana
minor cOmbats consequent on the late
approach of the Versailles army almost
90 the walls Of Paris. Marshal MacMahon has
advanced bis headquarters nearer Pans, ana
this is construed TO mean that an immediate
attack il intended; but subsequent declarations
of President ThieIs point to a bloodless con-
cluson of tie conflict. Meantime compromise
aud concessions are declared impossible.

The statement in Tue TRIBUNE that there is a
prospect Of large emigration to this country from

many other occupations open to these people than
coonizing and farming. i is believed that both
the men and the women could find abundant eni-
ployment in domestic service in our cities and large
towns. There are great numbers Of American fani-
