Carolina.
The Charleston News and Courier, having
addressed circulars to all the counties of the
State in relation to the general agricultural
eondition. prints replies from seventeen. Ab
beville report* the labor supply unchanged
cost decreased—no increase of white labor,
and negroes do better as hired laborers than
working on their own account. Barnwell re
port* a diminished snpply of labor—price in-
creased—about S3 per cent, increase in whit*
labor. Negroes working for them?e!vea have
abort crops.
Beanfort says the decrease In labor snpply
very marked—cost Increased 20 to 30 per cent,
and a marked decrease in white labor. Negro
farms very numerous, but not one in ten will
do more than pay expense*. Beanfort to in
bad old fix, aa might have been expected. That
to the negro paradise, where they bask in the
sun beside the snake*, snapping turtles and alli
gator*. Beanfort first eaught the heaven-born
light of “de boro,** and “de bnro,** with Its
“abandoned nigger*,** transformed it from the
abode of thrift and elegance to a bog wallow.
Colleton thinks negro labor improving bnt
white labor not. The negroes in many in
stances, are doing better as farmers on their
own account than as hired laborers. Chester
reports snpply the same and price advanoed.
There is soma white immigration from North
Carolina, which would be mnch increased, bnt

The writer knows one colored farm a r doing
welL Darlington reports a large decrease in
the labor snpply and 25 per oent. increase In
prioo. No increase in white labor. There is
no work on Saturdays and, as we suppose, cat
fiablng on Sundays. Negroes working for them
selves do leas than when hired by wages.
Eigfield reports no change in eost or quantity
of labor. Only a slight increase in white labor.
Another correspondent says the white labor in
crease to large. Negroes’do not better them
selves by farming on their own account. Fair-
field reports no change in any particular.
Green villa say* her white labor has doubled in
the last four years and most of the ootton
crop to produced by it Tho negroes get along
better Hred than woxkicg on their own account
bnt few save any thing.
Kershaw reports diminished labor and in
creased cost. Hired negroes generally accu
mulate something, bnt are reduced to squalid
misery when they tom to farming on their own
aeoonnt. Considerable increase in the amount
and product of white labor. Marlboro says her
people are getting one turpentine, and the
average oost of labor has increased from 15 to
100 per cent. Little Increase in white labor.
Negroes farming cn their own aooonnt, with
few exoeptipns, go to bankruptcy and rags.
Marion reports no change in white or negro
labor. Negroes farming on their own account,
exoept under white direotion, go to the bow*
wows.
Spartanburg says labor to 25 per cent, higher
and whites very little less than lazy. Union
says 10 per cent, higher and abont the same
decrease in snpply, while labor has increased
200 per oent. Negroes do beat as croppers or
tenants, particularly if supervised. Yoxk re
ports no great variation in supply or price of
negro labor, and no great increase in white
labor. Negroes do better for themselves as
hired laborers than in any other capacity.
The report of the eondition of the crops Is
generally unfavorable. On the whole, it is
evident that Sonth Carolina needs a more gen
oral pitching in to work by the whites. The
negroes are imitative: when they see the whites
working the crops as if they were in solemn
earnest, they follow snit. If yon want a hired
freedman to work well take your hoe and dis
tance him in the row.

A meat of President Grant’* handiwork as a
is being exhibited at the Vienna Exhi-
Bea Bailer's Railroad Programme
Thi* notorious person who, whatever may be
his mnltifarions moral and personal defects,
has never yet been aocnsed of being a fool,
made a speech on the 4 th instant a: a place
called Framingham, In Massachusetts, to a big
temperance meeting for the purpose of ingra
tiating himself os a candidate for Governor
with that faction in Massachusetts politics. He
bad rather poor success, inasmach as ho refused
give the pledges they required, bnt on the
railrosd problem he was outspoken enough.
We qnote the following frpm the Herald’s re
port of his speech:
General Bailer first took np the subject of
special legislation, and alinded to the special
provisions in favor of corporations in the mat
ter of transportation of frolgbt and passengers,
giving away from the people the control of the
transportation of the necessaries of life and
the common highway carriage of persons. . In
a neighboring State a single individual had,
through special privilege, acquired a fortnne of
seventy-fire or a hundred millions. Mnch of
the production of the oonntry had been ab
sorbed by the few to the explosion of many.
The great question of the lionr, therefore, was.
How was this charge for transportation of per
sons and property to be bronght down to its sim
ple elements of oost ? Bat by having the State or
nation undertake the bmdsess of rsiJronding for
them, Gen. Butler argued, they should have sn-
peradded to the bnrdans and wrongs of corporate
and private exactions the corruptions and pecu
lations incident to the freqnent changes in party
political machinery. Let the 8tate open com
petition to all in tho conveyance of freight and
passengers over the railroads which are its own
common highways. The land and the rights of
way of all the railroads in the State has been
taken by law under tho oonstitntional provisions
that the taking was by the government for
common convezdenco and necessity of the whole
people. Bs it so. Then let every man enjoy
this common convenience and have the power
to rue the same by patting his car on these
highways, subject to snch rules and regulations
as may be necessary. All that was necessary
was to return to the idea of empowering every
man to pnt his car upon the railroad to go over
it for a reasonable toll to be fixed by the direc
tory, and, of course, subject to sppeal to a prop
er tribunal in case of disagreement between its
owner and the road. That reasonable toll, of
coarse, wonld be the oost of the wear and tear
of the road and the oost of the drawing the car,
with a fair bnt not exhorbitant use of the capi
tal invested. Any oompany or individual could
have his own 6ide track and his own warehouse,
•hich he might load cars to be drawn by mo
tive power of the road ; if not by his own en-
gine. __
Correspondence.
Under this head, we find the following in a
late issue of “The South," published in New
York city:
Macon, Ga., Jane 27, 1873.
Editors of The South :
GcrrLXirxx—Under the head of “Georgia,"
in yonr paper, Macon seems to be continually
ignored as a city in the State, while Atlanta,
Savannah, Augusta, Gslnmbu* and MxIIedge-
ville are mentioned as chief towns. We beg to
state there to such a place as Macon, a growing
city of 20,000 inhabitants, situated near the
geographical centre of the State, at tbe bead of
navigation of the Ocmnlgee river, npon the ter
mination of the granite formation, npon the
edge of tbe undulating plain seaward. Tbe al
titude of the place is about 350 feet above the
level of the sea. Five railroads, with several
branches, radiate to as many points of the com
pass northward, westward, southward and east
ward. Tbe place was incorporated as a town in
tbe year 1823. In a commercial point of view,
no place in Georgia equals it. The article of
trade and shipment has been chiefly ootton, tbe
receipts having ranged at 80,000 to 130,000 bales
per annum. The place has reoently become the
chief distributing point of the State for the pro
vision trade from the northwest. Tbe health
cf the city will compare favorably with that of
the Southern or of tbe New England States.
We have good schools free to all. Two col
leges, male and female, tbe latter, “Wealey&n
Female College," to tbe oldest female college in
the United States.
If from the above facto and other informa

they continue to send ns their papers, and we
consider it a high compliment from the most in

For No Fenoe..— - — 98
Majority for Fence 1,530
We presume the colored brethren all voted
for Fence. Fenoe costs them exactly 000 a
year, and they have now and then a cow and a
runt of a pig lnoning abont. The same may
be said of whites who are not landholders, and
the balk of the latter most also have voted the
same way. Bat, after a where will be the
lumber to bnild fenoes in Houston? Every
Landholder ought to pat some old field acres
in red otdar for posts, if fences are to bo kept

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
Freedmen’s UnrcAii—Attorney general's
Opinion.
Washington, July 9 —The Attorney General
has sent an opinion npon the eabject cf frauds
in the Freedmen’s Bureau, to the War Depart
ment. The questions submitted wore with ref
erence to funds taken from tho Treasury by
officers employed in the bnroan by means of
forged receipts and vouchers for bounties dne
colored soldier*, and by means of receipts and
vouchers fraudulently procured from them.
The opinion required and was npon two points:
First—In cases where the gnilty parties cannot
be proseented, what shonld bo tbe conrae in
order to secure protection of the interests of
the Government and of claimants ?
Second—When propeenfion is not barred by
the statute limitations, what action shonld be
bad, and to what extent is the late commission
er of the bnrean of rrf ogees, freed men and
abandoned lands and bis chief disbursing officer
responsible ?
The opinion is, that if any military officer
detailed for dnty in the Freedmen’s Bureau has
been gnilty of misppropriation of money, or of
any violation of tbe rales and regulations gov
erning disbursing officers of the army, he may
be tried by oonrt-martial in tbe same manner
as any other snch army officer; and that claim
•gents and other persons not officers of the
Government who bave obtained money from
tbe bnrean by means of forged receipts and
vouchers and other frtnfis, can be proseented
criminally if two years have not elapsed since
the commission of the crime, and can also be
sned in the civil courts of the United States in
the same manner as employes of the bnrean
can be.
There is no statute limiting the time within
whioh the Government may bo^in a civil suit,
bnt suits for penalties and donble damages nn
der the act of Maroh 21, 18G3, mast be began
within six years.
The Attorney General says: “As to the chief
disbursing officer, It is almost impossible, npon
tbe faots which are now before me, to state what
his liabilities to tbe Government may be. Of
oonrse he is liable both civilly and criminally for
his own miscondaot. How far he to liable for
the acts of subordinates employed nnder him is
a question which it is impossible for me to an
swer without a copy of his bond, and without
more information in respect to his appointment
and employment than I have been able to ob
tain from the perusal of the papers sent to me.
If any other officers gave bonds to tbe Govern
ment their seenrities are liable for their mis
conduct or loss occasioned by them according
the tenor thereof.”

Salcido oi* a Yonng and Wealthy
Widow.
Correspondence New York World ]
Hillsboro*, Obanoe County, N. O., Jnly 1.—
A case of euicido nnder very distressing circnm-
stanoes oocnrred night before last at Cedar
Grove, distant abont four miles from this town.
Mrs. Maria Murray, a yonng, handsome and
wealthy widow, took her own life by hanging
herself with an extemporized rope made of yarn
twisted together. Mrs. Murray w*3 abont
twenty-eight years of age, and w*9 the widow
of Mr. William Marray, a man who was uni
versally respected in the community. She
moved in the best society of Orange oonnty,
asd belonged to an influential family. Before
her marriage she was one of the belles of this
vicinity. The melancholy circumstances that
led to her suicide are these: When Mr. Marray
died, abont two years ago, he had in his em
ployment as overseer of his farm a man named
Wiiliam R. White, a married man and a person
of low breeding, bnt of considerable good
looks. This man continued to act as overseer
after Mr. Murray’s death, living on the plaoe
with his wife. Some months ago Mrs. White
became jealon* of Mrs. Marray and charged
that an intimaoy existed between her and her
hnsband. Gossip took np the tale, and for
some time past has been busy with stories of
the intimacy. It to said that about two weeks
ago faots were developed in Mrs. Murray’s con
dition which amply justified the worst that the
gossip of the neighborhood had asserted. A
six-months* child was prematurely bom, whioh
was buried by White and Mrs. Marray in strong
ashes. When this fast became known, the sug
gestion wps made that the widow and White, as
well as the physician who had prescribed tbe
mediqine, shonld be arrested for mnrder.
White heard of this and immediately disap
peared. The effeot on Mrs. Marray was to de
press her exceedingly. She made one or two
attempts to destroy herself, and in order to pre
vent her from oarrying her pnrpose into execu
tion her friends and neighbors kept a ceaseless
watch upon her. At least one person was al
ways with her. On Sunday night one of these
neighbors slept with her. Wakicg during the
night, she missed Mrs. Marray from her side.
A search revealed the faot that Mrs. Murray
had hasged herself with the twisted yarn, at
tached to an iron ring in a room In the upper
story of tbe house. The nnfortnnate woman
leaves three children. White will be arrested if
he can be fonnd.
