Another calamity, quite serious in It's
character and magnitude, overlook this
city Yesterday, The extensive rolling
and nail mill at the upper end OF the city,
the Wheeling Iron Works, was de-
stroyGd by fire and Is almost total
loss. Five thousand kegs Of nails were
burned with the works. The establish.
ment was worth about 100000, on
which there was a mortgage of 100000
to secure loan. There was an insurance
of $4,000, which will go to the holders
Of the loan, so that the stockholders will
suffer total loss of their interest, ex'
cent what may be represented by the
ground connected with the works and the
damaged machinery, which, we suppose,
will have some value. The nails were
fully insured.


About three hundred persons will be
thrown out OF employment by this Calami'
ty. This Is a deprivation that will be Sc
ycrely felt in the upper part of the city.
The loss OfsuGh an establishment Is II real
misfortune to the community, II Is not
only heavy loss to the owners and
insurance companies, hut severe depri'
yation to the wOrkmGn and permanent
injury to the business Of the city, These
three hundred wOrkmCn must look for
employment somewhere else. We trust
they may not be obliged to 90 TO other

continuance of the income tax has had some
thing to do with the result but this is, we think
an error. This tax is not unpopular in the
State, and The Republican convention formally
declared in its platform that the wealth of the
nation should pay its debt, and hence they were
opposed to abolishing the income tax, or taxes
upon those luxuries which wealth only can
afford.

The result does not signify that New Hamp-
shire has renounced her allegiance to Republican
principles, bat 1t should serve as a useful warn
ing against chickering's aud foolish contentious

of the party, and teach the Importance OF wise,

GSyTdcuSe Standard


Immediate measures must be taken to restore
the harmony of the party and organization
with larger reference to principles than to men.
Thus New Hampshire may, in the end, prove a
salutary lesson; but If its teachings are disre-
garded the future of the party is informed with
but little hope.

Our ancient friend of the Bee wants
more despotism, as it calls the regular
enforcement Of the laws. It thinks the
President a high-handed and most alarm
ing usurper for what he has done in
South Carolina, but it is perfectly willing
to submit to an application of the same
power by the same man in Louisiana.
The Bee wants things turned loose in a
general and miscellaneous way, not caring
particularly how this is done so it is done
by the President. 1t wants the State re-
constructed over again, even if we have to
have military ruler and detachment of
troops after US all the time. The Times
leans little the same way, as if it was
dissatisfied with the ability Louisiana
has manifested in taking care of herself.
These organs Of public opinion thus give
another example Of their utter worthless
ness as political teachers. In one column
they revile the condition of things in
South Carolina as abominable and des-
potic, while in another column they in
vite q similar infiction upon the people of
Louisiana. If their. complaints were cor
rectin the first instance, the government
would be a miserable failure; if their de-
mand was honest, in the second place, it
would prove that they had already OBJ
tained their consent to live under des-
potism. And yet this is the order of
thought that the city of New Orleans

Our readers will remember that there
was something of a flourish made here
abouts some months ago because it was
thought the constitutional amendments,
which had been such bugbear to GER
tain classes Of our citizens, were really q
a blessing in disguise, as through their
instrumentality all monopolies, such as
the Crescent City Slaughterhouse, were to
be wiped out. The Bulletin, if We do not
mistake, was particularly felicitous to
itself on account Of this discovery, which
promised to cut the Radicals, as they had
proposed to cut the Democrats. It was
bosh, as might have been expected.
Now, the Bulletin has gone off on another
tangent, having discovered that the Ku-
Klux law empowers the President to un-
seat Governors, upset States, destroy
local governments, and all authority but
that of his own will in the South. And
having discovered this new solvent of
Republicanism, it proceeds to accept in
the name of the Democracy of this new
heading of a law which has been SUBJ
jected by it for the last eight months to
all sorts of abuse and defamation. The
Bulletin, which goes into a condition of
madness because a lawless district in
South Carolina has been put under the
vigorous surveillance Of the federal courts,
is happy at the thought that the entire
South is to be subjected to the same
treatment. That is, it is envious of the
misery and despotism which it says are
being lavished upon the South Caro-
linians, and wants a dose of the same
remedy for Louisiana. This is an idea
that is about equal to the ability of the
Bulletin to adopt and advocate.

The effort now making in the
Legislature, by some of the best
members, to devise some means by
which men can be made to paw
their poll tax, is q praiseworthy
one, and ought to succeed. What
cen be done to bring that about, is
not SO clear. No doubt, if a law
could be made that deprived a
man of the right to sit as a juI or
SO long as his poll tax remained
unpaid, it would stimulate many
persons to discharge this obliga
tion, which they owe to the State ;
but. whether it would prove the
panacea for all our troubles in this
line, is by no means certain.


With a provision in the consti.
tntion, which prevents the denial
OF the right to vote, on account OF
the non-payment of this tax, it be.
comes difficult question to settle.
That the tax ought to be paid by
every man in the State, cannot be
questioned, and probably there is
no class in the State, who would
derive SO much benefit from full
collection of the poll tax, AS the We
ry men who now refuse to pay it.
Paying taxes is not a pleasant du.
ty, at least to those who have the
pay part to do. We have made
an examination into the poll tax
business, and find that only about
every other man pays this tax.


If we desire to derive the utmost
benefit from our school system, we
must take steps at once to secare
this, the larger portion of the rev.
enue to that fund. This is a mat.
ter in which not a few, but all ,nen
are interested, for the less We col.
lect by poll tax, the more we must
collect from property. 1t is some.
thing that appeals to the pockets
of ns all, and we desire to see that
those who derive the benefit, help
pay the bills.


An amendment to the constitu.
tion, striking out the clause that
forbids the denial Of the right Of
suffrage, on account of non.pay

this result. Why cannot this lie
