NOT A JOYFUL CONVERT.

The usual condition OF mind of con-
verts is one OF Joy-even exultation.
They not only rejoice In the new light
which has come into their minds and
hearts. but they wish TO impart their
Joy to others. and 10 receive the con-
gratulations OF those who sympathize
with their convictions. Not so with the
Richmond Dispatch in it's financial con-
version. IL is not joyful, but morose,
and resents congratulations. II is even
morbid and ill-tempered. and while depre-
eating egotism I'm others. is itself car
ried away IN a whrlwind Of mad vanity.
for IL compares itself TO a splendid ex-
press train rushing on in its great ca
reer. and The Richmond Times to a
small dog barking at its wheels TO drive
the train away from its masters cabin.
The Times is very sorry to see its
neighbor so irritated and unbalanced.
Certainly its claim TO a six-months' rec
ord for honest money is a short proba-
tionary period in view of Its many years
OF labor in the cause Of fiat money
We do think that the change Of course
of the Richmond Dispatch, from the
boggy paths OF free silver into an avow-
ed adhesion to the principles of sound
money. barring its delusion about inter
national bimetallism is notable fact.
Others may differ about this. and think
Il makes no difference one way or the
other what the Dispatches opinions may
be. but believing. as We do. that the un-
certain condition of our financial system
is doing more to check prosperity in this
country than all other injurious infiu-
ences combined, we welcome aid from all
quarters. and We DO not wish our allies
to become angry merely because we are
glad 10 see them more than halfway on
the right side.
The Dispatch says The Times has been
consistent on one question. which we
take, from the context. to mean the cause
OF honest elections. This. from the
bitterness with which il is stated was
OF course meant to draw a line between
the Dispatch and The Times. Now, IT
is true, The Times has been. is now, and
always will be. for absolutely fair and
honest elections. and We predict that the
day will come, when on this subject the
people Of Virginia shall have so expressed
their sentiments, that the Dispatch VIII
declare itself for honest elections and
will then resent any allusion 10 its past
course in that matter. as II now writhes
under congratulations for having come
over TO the other side on the money
question.
The Times will be very glad when that
day comes. even though IL has to again
witness the spectacle Of its aged and
cautious contemporary denying its for
mer faith, flying into a passion, and
abusing Close who have helped 10 lead
1t into the paths of righteousness

was shown by the Court OF Appeals re-
tanning the prisoners In Richmond they
consider themselves absolved from all OBJ
legation in the premises. and that they
will allow alters to take care OF them
selves.
We most earnestly hope that no law
abiding and rixht-thionking citizen OF
Lunenburg Will allow himself to be de-
ludcd by any such sophistical and shall
low plea as this. This IL not a game Of
battiedoor and shuttleock, IN which these
negroes are TO be played for points. Three
human lives are at stake, which are to
be forfeited II the accused are duly con-
victed according to the laws OF the land
Of numbering Mrs. Pollard. but the ac-
cused are 10 20 free unless they be so
convicted. They cannot be deprived Of
their lives except according to the law
of the land, unless the principle is ac
cepted that all of us hold our lives and
property subject to the will Of any mob
that may dominate any locality. This
cause has now become one OF those that
people call causes celebres. IL has at
tracted to itself the attention Of the
whole Union. It IL understood every
where TO involve the question whether
life and property ore under the prOtec-
ton OF law In Virginia or whether they
are held here at the will Of the mob.
Men everywhere are watching its issue,
and as IL may turn out, Virginia will be
judged. II these negroes are put through
an orderly trial. convicted according to
law, and executed IL convicted. men every
. frft
to Virginia with their means and invest
them here. But n. as soon as restraining
force Is removed, they are seized by
mob and executed without reference to
whether they are adjudged guilty or not.
men in every part OF the Union will turn
with disgust from Virginia as place
where human life has no safeguards and
where. OF course, property can expect no
protection at all.
This is not the stage to speak Of Lunen-
burg's honor being involved. The time TO
speak Of her honor being involved is when
these poor wretches are returned to her
with no protection whatever but the hui
manity and justice Of her people. That
is the time when her consecrated people
should feel that their honor IS at stake,
and when they should protect them from
the mob at whatever cost. 1t is very i'm
portant that Mrs. Pollard's murderers
should be brought TO justice. and II
these negroes are the guilty parties
they will no doubt be convicted at the
end Of an orderly and impartial trial.
But 1t is far more important that the
world should understand that life, liberty

ginia. except when forfeited according 10
the letter and spirit Of the law Of the
land.
The world has its eyes on Lunenburg
