Can We Look Ahead?

There is no safe guido for our future course,
in the lessons of American liberty. We arc
not reproducing any portion of our past, but
arc being driven into an entirely new orbit of
action, in which the teachings of experience
avail US little. Let us speculate briefly upon
the probable results for in this emergency,
speculation must take the place of argument
The Reconstruction scheme of Congress is
now being put into practical operation. Reg
istration is going on, and all classes arc inter
cstcd in it. To the recently cnfranchised freed
man. it seems the harbingcr ola grand milcn
mum, of some kind or other, vaguely but gor-
gcously displayed to his Imagination To the
subjugated white citizen, it is system which
threatens him with practical exclusion from
the concerns of government, and is therefore
odious. But with this matter of likes and
dslikes We have nothing now to do. We can
not effectuaily resist Congressional dictation ::
it behoovos us, therefore, to sec what we can ac-
complish under its complications. We take it
for granted, in the first place, that every white
citizen will register, who is allowed to do so.
On this point, VIC know of no difference of
opinion all parties agree upon the ncccss-
ty of this. And now, we will suppose that the
first Of October is como; the lists are complete,
and there is roll Of voters, comprising ma
jority Of freedmen, and at the same time, n
very strong body Of white citizens The ques-
tion then arises, what is the true policy for the
latter class in this event? Shall we vote "For
la Convention" or Against Convention" !?
We unhesitatingly recommend tho former
SWhy2 First, because there is no means in our
power to prevent a Convention; and Therefore
our policy is to try and have fair showing in
its organization! Many a wcl-disposcd freed
man will vote for ticket Of practical planters,
upright and good citizens who are acceptable
to both white and cclored voters, provided the
point OIL convention Is conceded: put, II We
say to the same freedman "votc against Con
vcntion," we drive him at once to tho Radi-
Gals, and deprive ourselves of the only chance
We have of being properly represented in the
most important body Of lawmakers, that will
ever sit in South Carolina. Shall VIC be SC
blind to the requirements Of the times, as to
throw away our only hope of preserving the
few rights We have rennining to us? Imagine
n Convention completely Radical do We not
know they will adopt some measure virtually
as bad as confscation. They are pledged to
the division Of lands in their platform; and
they only await the time when they have tho
power to accomplish their ends. We can now
perceive only the clloYfo4 hoof behind screen
of fair words but let the sway Of Radcalisn
be complete, and we will sec tho full propor
tons Of the devil, even to his horns. The onl,

fault is their opposition to the rank ras-
calities devised by FOREMAN, and car
ried out by his tools. For this, they are
hunted, bounded, prosecuted and de-
graded, and the pusillanimous scoun-
drels who lack the nerve to complete
their disgrace without strong encourage
ment, are backed by the Governor With
the Federal bayonets. We appeal to o
candid public to confirm the assertion
that this wrong is as causeless as it is
cowardly, and to admit that those have
been more in error who have deemed
our Governor we'll meaning but mis-
taken man, tnan have those who have
proclaimed him q relentless cold-blood-
ed tyrant, without honesty, without
decency, and without an equal in the
line of small and malicious meanness.

How the Workingmen Pay
Taxes
ILLUsTRATI0Ns FROM THE
HIGH TARIFF.
4 Huge swindIe ON Labor.

General Logan, in his Cleveland
speech, said the workingmen who did
not pay an income tax, paid no tax
whatever to support the United States
Government. Other Republican speak
ers have said the same thing, some ad,
ding that nobody paid any taxes for the
support of the Government against
whom the tax duplicate made no charge
on real or personal property. .9
The Cincinnati Enquinac says there
might be some truth in these assertions
did, workingmen not wear clothes and
eat food, AS they do both, they pay
the taxes that are laid Upon and 60
to swell the price of ALI they use.
Working men are more interested in q
cheap government, and should be more
severe against extravaganza and corrup-
tion in public officers. than any other
class; for, as has been well said, wealth
pays it's taxes .out,of its abundance, but
labor pays its taxes out Of its toll and
sweat" s-...sY3 s,rssFy .rs ~
Every working man should bear In
mind that ey cry, dollar In the shape OF
taxes taken by the Government for its
support, beyond what is absolutely
necessary for an economical and frugal
administration thereof, is, to a certain
extent, so much taken from him un-
justly, and which he might lay by for a
bad day, or spend for securing addition
al comforts for himself and family The
brieklayer, who gets'five dollars a day
for Ills labor of ten hours, works for
fifty cents an hour. 4. system of tax
atioh-such as our high tariff and in
tefnsl revenue lsws-that. makes him
pay an extra fifty cents on a pair OF
shoes, or an extra dollar on pair OF
boots, compels him to give just that
much extra toll to the Government. 1t
is in that light these high tariff and in
ternal revenue taxes affect the working
men. ~ -, a -i--- = -, ~

Oil Resnery and Three Persons Burn.

4 -
: Yesterday morning the ringing of the
Court House bell startled our people,
and rush was made across the river to
A. Brandt and & Co.'S Oil Refinery, on
the opposite side of the Kanawha river
from Parkersburg, from which a dense
smoke was observed to proceed. Before
many from Parkersburg reached the
ground large explosion took place
caused by the bursting of the new l25
barrel still Just erected by the proprie-
tors. At the time of the explosion three
persons were already at the top of the
still, with a view to extinguishing the
flames which ragged within it. They
were all badly burned, and perhaps be-
yond recovery. Their names are Messrs.
c. McCreary, Isaac Brown, and Crooks,
C. McCreary's clothing was saturated
with oil, and burned from his person.
His right arm was burned to the bone,
large pieces of the skin came entirely
off different parts of his person and his
his body and limbs were shockingly
burned, blistered and charred. Mr..
Crooks was also in horrible condition
