Cotton Claims— From the Savannah Republi
can we copy an extract from a letter written by
John O Ferrill in reference to cotton claims. He
says: “ Tour Washington letter of Sunday’s issue
contains the following paragraph, which is apt to
mislead maoy persons having claims against the
Government:
All cotton claims are barred now by the Statute
ct Limitations, unless suit was commenced within
two years from the ikh of Aligns!, 1860. Every
effort to reopen the court claims to tbe people oi
the Southern State has been detested, and thereby
declaring the citizen of a Southern State an alien
enemy.
“ On the 28J of May last I wrote a letter to the
Morning News ot this city which was copied
largely throughout the South, giving my reasons
far the opiniou that to persons not adhering to
the Federal cause during the war, the cornts are
still open for the adjudication of their claims, and
will remain open until December 25 L, 1875;’and
while the Court of Claims may sustain the Gov
ernment’s plea of the Statute or Limitation, vet I
am convinced that the Supreme Ccurt ot the
United Slates, for the reasons given in the letter
referred to will decide in favor ot the plaintifi*. I
have now before the Court of Claims a test case
involving this question, and do not doubt bat
that it will eventually be declared for us. The
importance of such a decision will be appreciated
when I say that there are now in Savannah over
one million dollars worth of cotton el inis not
yet in suit, aud which we aball be ha,>py to rep
resent. My associate In Washington City, Hon.
John J. Weed, will lake the eailiest opDOrtunity
of btiuging the question before the Court. The
paragraph ot your correspondent refers to efforts
made iu Congress, but we expect to obtain the de
sired object in the Court*.
rpnmand Mock.
The Genera. Assembly, in August, 1572, euacted
a law under the above title. As the question ol
Fence or No Fence is be-ing agitated in a large
number of counties in the State, and aa we have
neard it frequently alluded to in our own county
we give a synopsis of the act that the law may be
fully understood.
The first section enact- that iu every couuty
Adopting the act the boundary line of each lot or
parcel of land shall be a lawtul fence. Section
second declares that no horse, mule, cow, hog or
any animal caed or fit either for food or labor,
shall be permitted to run at .large beyond the
limits of the lauds of its owner.
Section third provides that if any of the animals
enumerated in section second shall commit any
respass or shall be found running at large on the
premises of another, whether enclosed or unen
closed, or whether such animal is owned by t
peraoa living in tho county or an adjoining
county, it shall be lawtul for the owner of the
prern ees to impound such animal until the ownei
■cereof shall pay all damages, Including cost and
xperses, unless disposed of as hereinafter pro
vided. Sect.on fourth provides that any one im
pounding snail give such stock ail necessary feed,
are and attention, lot which he is entitled torea
sonat.'e compensation; and it is made the duty
of the impounder to g've notice to the owner ol
such impounding in twenty four houis thereafter,
and if the owner is not known or ascertainee
within three days alter the impouudiug the stock
-nail be disposed of as estrays; and when saio
animals are disposed of as e-.ti-ys, the proceeds ol
the sale, after paying legal costs, shall be applieu
O'at to the payment ot the damages including
reasonable compensation far the feed, care and
attention, etc.
Section fifth provides that if any person shall
maliciously impound stock, or shall injure or mal
treat stock when impounded, such person shall,
upon conviction, be guilty of misdemeanor, and
hall be fined not exceeding 8106.00, or impris
oned ,not exceeding one month, besides paying
double the amount of damages actually done said
stock. Section [six enacts that in case of disa
greement between the party damaged and the
owner of the stock, as to the amount of damages,
or for expenses of care, feed and attention, the
damaged party may institute suit before the Jus
tice of the Peace in the District iu which the dam
aged party resides, and said justice shall issue
summons, returnable within five days, requiring
the owner of said stock to appear, and upon evi
dence shall give judgment lor the amount
damages proven, also for feed, care, etc., and
costs, which shall be enforced by execution, etc.,
and gives a preferred lien upon such stock for
said amount and superior to all exemptions and
homesteads. It further provides for appeal and
repleving of the stock in cases ol litigation. Sec
tion seven provides that if the petition of fifty
freeholders shall be filed with the Ordinary asking
for the benefit of this act such ordinary shall pro
ceed to have an election. If the counter-petition
of freeholders is filed, amounting to fifty persons,
then the ordinary shall proceed no further ; if,
however, twenty five more petitioners shall apply
then the ordinary shall proceed to have an elec
tion, alter giving notice, as elections are held for
members of the General Assembly, said election
to be he!d on tbe first Monday in July following
Patrons of Husbandry.
A Western correspondent of the New Fork
World gives the following history ol the above
named order:
“Tbs legitimate business of the granges em
braces everything that can be advantageous to its
members. Among the more prominent matters
now fairly inaugurated and in good working con
dition may be mentioned a systematic arrange
ment for rapidiy procuring and disseminating in
formation relative to crops, tbe aspect of demand
aud supply, prices ia various markets, the cost ot
transportation trom point to point by various
routes, the establishment of depots for the 6aie o!
special products, so as to bring the consumer iD
direct contact with the producer; also lor the
pnrehase and exchange ot live stock, seeds,
plants, and traits of all kinds; facilities for pro
curing help and labor at home or from abroad,
and work for those seeking employment; a well
guarded system ot testing and ascertaining the
merits of newly invented or newly introduced
farming machinery and implements, the results
ol which are at once communicated to all the
members of the order. Its agents are constantly
on the alert to expose and detect frauds and de
ceptious of every kind and protect the members
by every available means from all measu.es likely
to injure their interests.
* The membership of the order Is already suffi
ciently large, and distributed over enough territo
ry to illustrate, practically, the advantages of its
organization. The interchange of products among
the members has reached very large propoitions.
The farmers of the West can supply their breth
ren of the South with bread stuffs. and they find
that the profits of both are vastly increased by
tbe interchange. Another important fact is that
efforts are being made to establish manufactures
lu the West, so that the farmer can sell to the
consumer at home instead of both parti-s paying
enormous taxes for food tiansportation.
“ The membership of the Patrons of Husbandry
is daily increasing in numbers that are quite start
ling and which clearly prove the intense earnest
ness of purpose enlisted iu this great movement
to unite the farmers of the United States in a
self-protecting and self advancing organization.
It is, as has been before intimated, exceptionally
large in this State. From here it has spread
southward into Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana, and
through Tennessee into Mississippi and Alabama.
In many other States east and west of this central
line, as far weal as Texas and as far east as Maine,
the order also flourishes vigorously. As one evi
dence of the substantial character of its results
iu lowa the fact may be mentioned that one third
of all the elevators and grain warehouses of this
State are owned or controlled by the granges,
and no less than 5,000,000 bushels of grain were
shipped by them to Chicago prior to December
last. The number of cattle and hogs shipped in
the same manner is enormous and with Increased
profits to the farmers. In the purchase of agri
cultural machinery and implements the pur
•hases made through the advantages of the
grange have saved to its members $365,000 by
actual computation. Not less than 1100,000 will
be invested during the year 1573 by the granges
in establishing manufactories, and thus, by the
bringing of skilled labor among them, will a
home demand for the products of the farm be
created.
“In dealing with this great question of the
co-operative union of the American Farmers we
must include, in addition to the Patrons of Has-
K andry, as amoDg those taking action against
commercial and railroad monopolies and inspired
by the same purpose that directs the granges, the
organizations known in Illinois and Ohio, where
something of a hereditary feeling exists against
secret societies, the secret features of the order of
Patrons of Husbandry has operated against tbe
general establishment of the granges; but farm
ers’ clubs, diflerent from the granges only in the
fact that their meetings are public, occupy the
field.
“ In Illinois the farmers’ movement is making
tremendous strides. Barely have two months
elapsed since the first farmers’ club or grange was
orgautzed, and yet at the {.resent time it is safe to
say that ou r of the 1,500 townshiDa in tbe State
mare than SOO have already organized clubs,
or have the field occupied by the granges of the
Patrons of Husbandry. Some people who have
good means oi knowing place the number of these
associations at 1,000, and others say that there
are no fewer tban 1,200. The average membership
of the clubs is It 0, and is ineressing'daiH. It is
a fair estimate, therefore, to place the combined
membersh p of the clubs and grange? of Illinois
at marly or quite 100 000, with the prospect that
by the fall they will inciuie iu their membership
more than halt the voting population of the State.
“ In the beginning of this Illinois movement the
farmers, sem what disorganized and with only a
vague purpose of reform iu their minds, went
about their wotk knowing the wrongs aod disa
bilities under wh : eh they suffered but not know
ing where to look for an adequate remedy. They
tud. it U true, two deficit* porpota* U view, the
principal of which w s to cord.-: ire r broad
mon >po!y of the State, which by the ruin .u? local
( eight tariffs charg'd Ur the tra:>; ortation of
the produce, increasing to an tolerable degree
the cost to the farmer cf all ucces.arjes of life for
himself and his family and preventing him from
selling his grair. a' any profit to himself, retains
the lurnicr in a coodiuon ak n to poverty, sur
rounded as he is by ge ,e r cus harvests. The
other aim was to revolutionize the commercial
system ot the “ middlemen,” who compelled them
to buy their agricultural implements and farm
machinery from them whether they would or not,
as the agents of the manufacturers. At present,
however, the c<u is quite different, and rLrough
a series of conventions which have since been
held and the discussions of the clubs the farmers
nave come to understand the proper method of
attaining the reforms they desire. Want they
propose now to do is btiefiy to demand ol the
Legislature to compel tire railroads to respect
the lans regarding the freights aud passenger fare
which have already been pasted by that body, and
'O see thnt the citizen is protected lrom txtor
tion, robbery, and violence on the trains bv pass
ing an act lor eu ample and efficient police force
to protect passengers on railroads in their resist
mce to the uniaalut rates ci fare demanded by
the railroad employes. In rega.d to the “ mid
uleme„” nuisance the remedy lies in :be direction
ot the co-operative plan already in 6uch general
orce io lows.
Printers—what ihet ahe Expected to Do
the London Journal has this to say about print
ers; We believe that the masses loot; upon us
printers as objects a little above tbe brute—a lit
tle lower than mankind. It is expected ot him to
make nonsense ol it. If a mistake should occur
in the composition of what the author calls man
uscript (hut what looks more like geese tracks
around a frog pond), the printer is supposed to
knew ali the Whims the author intended,and sup
ply them accordingly. Tht printer must go-to
church aud eulogise the sermon, even it ic were
not equal to a page in the Dutch Almanac as a
matter ol interest. He must go to the Mayor’s
Court and tell ail that occurs; but witha’, he
must not mention the names of the parties arrest
ed. Must drink with everybody, but never get
drunk—must “puff” ail sorts oi liquors, al
though he is aware that two drinks ol some ol
them would send hint to the tomb ot his lathers.
Must pay his debts, aud give to every object of
charity; yet if he asks for his dues from others,
he must submit to any abuse they may choose
to heap upon him. Everybody that wants his
name in tbe paper must be accommodated. He
must write ltngthiy obituaries on eveiy wretch
that takes a notion to die—must praise them to
the innocence of a saint—although he knows the
individual to have been the greatest dinner un
hung.
The Dawson Journal says: “ Mr. Henry Miller,
who lives near Chicasawhatchie, iu this county,
met death suddenly and rather mysteriously on
Thursday night last. Alter eating supper he went
to a neighbor’s house, not far distant to sit until
bed-time, and was apparently in good health. Re
turning about the usual bed-time he retired.
During the night his wife was aroused by a noisß
in the room and inquired what it meaat. She
was answered by Mr. Miiler that he believed he
would choke to death. Mrs. Miller gave the
alarm—medical aid was hastily procured, but no
relief could be had, aud he died in a few hours.
Stonewall Jackson.— The Southern Home
learns from Gen. Pendleton that the English monu
ment has been finished, but has not been sent
over, owing to tbe unsettled stale of things in
this eonntry. This monument is an expression
of respect and admiration trem the leading mem -
bers of the British Pailiament for the lamented
hero, who died for the consti;ution of his country.
Among the contributors to the monument were
Hon. Mr. Gregory, now Governor General of Cey
lon, and Hon. Beresford Hope, long a leader in
the councils of the nation.

Austria aud Italy oppose the augumentation of
