PROF. NEwBERRY has recently pub
lished some highly interesting information
upon the occurrence and utilization Of cas-
wells in the oil-producing regions of the
United States. From this publication We
CLEAN the fact that the town of Fredonia,
New York. has been for more than forty
years either entirely or partly lighted by
gas which issues from springs at that place.
In very many cases where behring's have
been made for oil, abundant quantities of
gas have been met with which were then.
and TO some extent even yet, looked upon
as useless and also dangerous product.
Quite recently, however, attempts have
been made to utilize the gas in numerous
localities and with much success. In some
cases these gas-wells have been highly pro-
ductive, yielding an abundance of material
for heating and lighting in most convenient
and manageable form in view Of which it
must be looked upon as one of the import
ant elements in the mineral resources of
the country. ,t'a

THE New York Times has inaugurated
another series of children's excursions,
similar in their scope and object to those
which were productive of so much happi-
ness to the poor children of the metropolis
last summer. A fund of nearly five thou
sand dollars has already been raised by the
efforts of the Times staff, and there is q
prospect that the excursions will be con-
Quoted even more effectively and satisfacto-
rily than they were last year. The
class they are intended to reach
have very little chance to enjoy the
beauties of the world about them. Their
young lives are smothered in filthy alleys
and filthier tenement houses, and it is an
act of real charity to give them an. occa-
sional opportunity to breathe the pure air
of heaven and enjoy the music and flowers
and other good things SO bountifully pro-
vided for their delectation. The Times
people did handsome thing last summer,
and we are glad they propose to increase
the large debt of gratitude which thou
sands of the overcrowded denizens of the
great city already owe to them.

Who Pays the Taxes ?

A few days ago The Wing undertook the
very absurd task Of demonstrating that the
Conservative party Of Virginia, comprising,
with here and there an exception, all OF
the old native population of wealth and
intelligence" contributed the entire reye.
nue. for the support of the government, as
well as for the maintenance of the free
schools; whilst, for the immediate pur-
poses of education, they-the old native
population--derived no direct benefit what
ever from such schools. We are surprised
that so well informed journal, even in its
more impulsive and bitterly partisan
moods, should indulge in the
absurd and transparent fallacy which
its language necessarily implies.
The veriest tyro in political economy
knows, or ought to know, that the reve-
nue. Of the government-of all govern
ments, in fact--comes from the pro-
ductive industry of the people. In
other words, labor pays the taxes. The
landholder-unless he be also laborer-
is a mere middleman, who collects and
pays over to the tax-gatherer the money
wrung from the soil by hard-fsted labor,
without whose aid the land would be
worthless and unable to contribute taxes
of any kind. So of the city landlord. He
creates no wealth. His only function is to
stand between his Woodworking tenant
and the constituted MISUNDERSTANDING
his rents by the exactions of the one and
the ability of the other. He has no more
claim to the credit of merit of any kind
so far as the paying of taxes goes-than
has the chip, floating on the tide, for its
motion, which it did not originate and can
not control. =
Capital is the stored-up profit Of labor,
and the capitalist is entitled to proper
credit and reward for his prudence in saw
ing or his skill in manipulating this sur
plus product. But to claim merit for an
act which, without the aid of labor, he
would be unable to perform, is simply
absurd. The exposure of the fallacy is as
old as the days of Hsop and st. Paul. 1t
is simply the head claiming superiority-or
indeed, in the case of The Wing. the sole
merlin bodily functions, over the hands
and feet. Whereas, in fact, community
of capitalists without laborers would be
worse off than one where the situation was
reversed for labor can create capital, but
capital cannot create labor. .55

1HE negro at the south is at present so in low,
win politics and attaches so much importanc,
10 MS newly acquired franchises that he carrie
his political principles and prejudiees into every
thing. II juror, it is enough for him to know
tuat one OF the parties is his political friend the
other his political opponent, in order for him n
settie the qles ton at issue without WORRYING
himself about the law or evidence He is pre-.
Wig.
This is most sweeping assertion, and
one which we believe to be entirely un-
warranted by the facts in the case. Indeed
as we are advised by persons in the more
numerously settled tide-water counties, who
have had ample opportunities for observa-
ton and have taken no small pains to
arrive at correct conclusions, that the
charge of our contemporary is just the
reverse of the truth. AS question of
fact, therefore, we challenge The Wing 10
go into thorough investigation of this sui /.
Ject. Let it commence its charges with
specifications of well authenticated cases
and we will agree to produce half dozen
equally strong, or stronger, instances,
where negroes or Yankees have been the
victims of the prejudices of white Vir-
ginia jury, with Virginia judges calmly
sanctioning the outrage. The negro,
doubtless, has his full share of human
failings, but his instructive sense of right
and justice is as strong as that of any
other race, not excepting the boosted one
to which the editors of The Wing be-
long. The keen-eyed vigilance of the
Democratic press, so far as we are aware,
has not yet detected single case of the
prejudice to which our neighbor refers,
and which probably exists only in the fer
tile imagination of the writer.
On the other hand, we are constrained 10
believe that Yankee-and as frequently
negro-cannot receive an impartial trial at
the hands of Virginia jury. The instances
to the contrary are too frequent and glaring
to be blinked. They are the result of pre-
JUDGES so deeply-rooted that time and
education can only eradicate them. But
we hope to see their effects somewhat mol
lined by appropriate legislation, which
may reasonably be looked for at the hands
of a Republican legislature. Judges should
be required positively to concur in YER
dict-instead of simply acquiescing therein.
and thus assume full share Of the respou-
siblity.
Meanwhile we give The Wing single nut
to crack. Were there no prejudices' |
mixed up in well-known case from Prince
which occupied the attention of
the executive, the courts and the lepisla-
ture last winter? And what were the
nature. character and origin thereof?

THURSDAY EvEN'G. JUNE II, 1873.

WHEN the Conservative party in Virginia was
organized, it proclaimed policy of literally
and moderation adapted to the times, in con-
formity to the changes that had been made by
the war in the laws of the land free from all pre-
tudice, and open to the acceptance of the one
race as well as of the other.-Enquirer.
Our contemporary ought to be well post
ed as to the "policy" of the Conservative
party in this state, at the time of its organ
ization four years ago. But if it adopted a
policy Of liberallty and moderation then,
how sadly has it departed from it since. It's
deviation from that policy has not only been
wide enough to drive away hundreds and
thousands of white voters in the state from
its Liberal organization, but has rendered
the colored vote complete and solid unit
against it. The reason for this change is
palpablc enough, we think, for the most
obtuse intellect to discover. The pro-
claimed "liberality and moderation"
was originally lure and
a sham, and proved itself such Immediate
ly upon the election of Governor Walker.
Many negroes and more white men were
caught by it, as they found to their sorrow
after election and even some of the mag
mates of Washington were not little
taken in by 1t. The election of 1869 was one
OF those historic events which especially
demonstrate the value of I" swapping
horses while crossing a stream" OF
course, an no nest swap, in a strong
current and with an honest nag,
was out of the question; but dis
honest one, with tricks, receptions and
legerdemains, was possible, and it won.
But, the winning accomplished, the trick
was exposed, and away went the conf
dence OF all honest men in the party. 1t
Is true the party proclaimed a liberal pol
Icy; but it acted most illiberal one from
the very threshold of its existence, as a
party of trick and deception.
To censure the colored people of this
state for not jumping on to the Conserva-
tIye-Republican go-cart, and occupying the
tall-board of that delectable yehicular affair,
called the walker administration, is a
piece of complacent assurance, brazen
enough to top that of Satan in rebuking sin.
We especially admire such an exhibition
OF assurance, but cannot condemn the
sagaclty OF the negro in refusing to see
how open the Conservative party was
