The Dispatch wastes good deal of I'M
necessary breath over the "Tariff ques-
ton" as discussed by the JOURNAL, if all
that we have written amounts to--''no-
thing"-in its own estimation. Like the
shallow-pated ostrich, it sticks its head in
the sand Of free-trade, and fancies the
ungainly and preposterons figure it cuts,
with its a posteriori arguments and fright
fully "puncturing questions" is seen by
nobody but itself. In the meantime, we
are receiving the thanks of some of the
best men in the city, and Conservatives at
that, for the way in which we have handled
the subject. Here is one of the many
commendatory utterances we have re-
ceived within the last day or two:
RICHMOND, May 3, 1872.
Editor Jouunal-I pause for moment
from other labors to thank you for the
manner in which you have answered the
DiSpatch's questions and statements re-
garding the necessity of a protective tariff.
All other questions dwindle into insignif-
canoe compared to this one, so far as Vir-
ginia is concerned; and the position which
your paper occupies, commands approval
from the most practical and educated intel
lects of the State. The plantation system,
and the silly, selfish notions it generated,
have ceased here, and only sold fossils"
would claim free trade as beneficial to us.
Very respectfully,
DEVELOPMENT.

pen to be piece Of its own party villainy.
1t knows nothing about the ballot-box
smashers in this city, the mob-inciting po-
licemen of Norfolk, nor the death Of the
colored policeman Wilson of Portsmouth.
What sort of sand did it have its head un-
der when these several rascalities were
successfully going on?

economy the study of his life, and is,
perhaps, better acquainted with the prac-
teal bearings of the policy of pro-
lection than any living American. His
speeches are always learned, dignifed, full
of facts, and show his high intellectual
power. His effort of Wednesday will rank
among the highest of his life. No Free

are men in New Orleans who came here
two years ago that are doing more for the
city in one month than some of our Oldest
and best will do in half a century. 1t IS
the nature of mankind to be citizens ae-

Because the fu8ionists do not under

with their chances Of success. They pre-
