One Hundred and Einety-Five Reasons
for Reforming the Tariff.

AS one scandal of our Oppressive tariff
We present below a list of one hundred and
ninety five articles on which a revenue Of
s14O, o4O, 90 was collected in 1870. If
these articles were put oa the free list, at
least one hundred and fifty officials might
be discharged from the custom-house who
now receive an average salary of SI.oOo
per annum, thus giving the country a
gross saving of S27O. 900, and net saving
OF nearly $50, 900 per annum.

MONDAY, NAY Is, 1871.

The Richmond Enquirer says, with regard
to the municipal election in that city, that
nominations for the City Council by the Con-
servatives will be made in general convention
at primary ward meetings, and that when the
ticket shall have been decided upon, there will
be no division in their counsels. All the Skin
mishing in advance is merely for position, and
amounts to nothing, so far as the general issue
is involved. The white people Of Richmond
will stand together and vote together as one
man. We are glad to hear this. What IS
wanted, now, in Richmond, and every other
place in Virginia, is union, harmony and
GOOD feeling.
