Tue Dis patch is an institution of Virginia?it is a model, clean, healthy newspaper? with a purpose to do justice to all men and misrepresent no fuot; to gather and print news, freo from unwbole some ieatnres. May its future be bright, and may tho full measure of success be its reward, a S t A lit.h |> nil; i: am . With the ratification of the Chinoso Jepau treaty of peace affairs in tho East, have lost much of tboir interest, but that which is to follow may prove more interesting than "tho Mongolian" war, and especially so to the European nations, and the future of Korea is Ihe nnkuown factor in what may follow, ?It is well known that Japan declared war against China in tho interest ol Korea?at lenst that wn9 the ostensible canpe?and baying been successful, Bhc feels that she bbould be permitted to ?ee Korea (irmly in position among the nations of tho earth, and in order to carry otit that programme secured oon trol of a part of the Korean territory. But mark the result. Hardly hnd Japan set foot on Korean soil for the purpoee named, when up come9 Russia, Germany and Franco with objections, and Japun was forced to surrender or take the consequences. Russin of course was the head aud front of the movement, and in yielding, Japan's inlluence was at once impaired sit tho Korean court, if iudced not ruined entirely, while thnt of Russia was strengthened and is still in the ascendant. "The war has taoght Korea the ?Asceesity of dependence on some stronger power," end now that tbe Russian paw has been placed on bor soil it is not unlikely Unit sooner or Inter lltissia will control tbe destinies of tbe conn try. It is easy to sre the drift of Russia, uud it is ipiito probable tbnt tdio will got what sbo lias wanted for years?au open port on tbo Pacilio. If tbo Tranfca?piau railway, which is intouded to oonut'ot Russia in Europe with Russia in Asia, t>bonld bo built across Korea to the Yellow Sea, Russia will have accomplished au old desire, nud in tbo end Korea will become a Russiau province. 01 course this can not bo done nud no protest niudo by some of the European powers, especially England, uud it will bo interesting to know what that country will do about it. Tho (|ucstiou is already claiming at? tention in Great Rntuiu and some hard things uro being said about "the .Muscovite." It therefore uppeurs not altogether unlikely, that iu the settle tnuut of tbo a P. airs in tbe Bast, that | which is yet to come may be far uioro iuteresting tunu tbo war just brought to uu oud _ l.l.l.t I II ?< I f\ VS.

'JL'uoy woro very snocessful, A speed of oigbty milosuu hour wns roaohed. It is assorted that if it had not been for a hot box niuoty miles an hour would have boon roaohed. It is stated as a faot that the eloctrio locomotive will supersede tho steam locomotive on tho Nautuskct branch, and in a short timo it may bo tho only locomotive used oil Now York, New Haveu nud Hartford railway system. The question of tho cost of operating that locomotive is now being consid? ered by tho olliciuls o( the system, and if it is shown to bo very much cheaper it will bo adopted. It looks as if eteam roads would be gradually roplaced by elootrio roada. 'i'ho possibilities of the electric motor aro nut yet known. Improvements arc being mudo in them all the timo, aud it is reasonable to suppose that there will bo a steady improvement iu them for years to come. VIRGINIA JOURNALISM, Pilot's Innovation and Painful Confes? sion of Its Business Manager. From Richmond Btato of 1st. Tbo Norfolk l'dot has ulways claimed that tho publication of its famous arti? cle about tho Yirgimu school book cou truct was tuude in tbe interest of tho "down-trodden cbihireu of Virginia," who were being imposed upon by "tho gnat Amortouti Rook Trost." Rut Mr.tiibbs, tho business mana? ger, has coufessed ou the witness stuud that he legardeil' tho publication us a good bit of journalistic outcrprise, w hich would help tlio halo id tho paper. Ho sl&u inude the painful ooiilussion that he dunned that Qinu A Co , rival publishers of the American Hook Cotu puuy, ought to help the Pilot m its ?int, beoauau bo belie vod thut I hoy woro behind the utVair, And ho further con? fessed that ho had applied to (linn k Co, aud other book puhlibhers for pecuniary aid on be Halt of tho Pilot! We protast that this ib nut u fair typo of Virginia journalism, Wo pro? test that no reputable Virginia journal, conducted by men to the country burn, would go into u tight of this character aud tbeu cull ou some business eon corn benefited to help pay tbe coat of tbe suit, Such a thought is ropulsivo. wo beliovo, to every truo Yirgimu journalist. Let us oito a CRSO in point, Several yours ago, a newspapor iu a neighbor? ing Virginia city had oeoasiou to ex? pose wbut it believed to bo tbo mis? doings of a publio official, Tbe conse? quence was a libel suit for S?.?UU. lhe Biiit came to trial und tbo newspaper won the case on tbe bold plea of truth aud justification. Rut iu spito of the victory, tho cost of defending tbo suit tun several hundred dollars, and a prominent bunker of tbo city culled ou tho pub li?hcrs aud offered to raise a purse among bis friends to reimburse tbe publishers, ou the ground tbut tbo paper bail done tho community a pub? lic service in exposing tho otlicial in question, and ought not to suflor loss. Of course tho publisher* appreciated the kind oll'er ami bo expressed them selves privately to tho banker who made it, but they did not hesitate for a moment to decline it with thanks, \Ye have personal knowledge whereof we speak uud we uro sure that these publishers did just what others of their Virginian brotbern would do undor similar ciroumatsnces.

Iliclitaond Dispatch, In tbo Massey-Pilot libel suit at Nor folk, Mr. Qibbs, the bn?it oss nisnagor Of tho Pilot, testified that bo rarely rouds that paper, aud had nover reud the article which is the cause of the suit now iu progress, He bad received orders for thousunds of extra copies of thut issue; hud Bold and delivered them, nud hutl gone to Now York to seo Ginn & Co., book publishers, to ssk the aid of that lirm in defending tho Pilot's suit -but ho had never read the libellous article.
