FRIDAY June 521, lSwl. ■-** ■— mm msi. That man Griscom is still fasting, and he lias been at it for over three weeks. The job of the coming session of the Georgia Legislature will be the granting and patching up of railroad charters. So far it is plain that two of Mr. Garfield’s Cabinet officers arc honest men. and have shown a disposition to run their Departments < honest principles. Patriotic Pennsylvanians want William Penn’s bones moved from their present resting place in England to Pennsylvania, but the authorities in England object to the removal. lion, lloratio Seymour, according to the newspaper correspondents, gives it as his •opinion that the present status of political affairs is disintegrating the Republican party. Peru is in a deplorable plight. While there is no fighting going on. yet there is not enough organization or concentration of purpose to form a government to make terms with the victorious Chilians. Secretary Windom has caught the ipyestiga tion fever from Post Master General James, and is looking into the way his predecessor managed affairs in a way that will not be pleasant, if it is continued. The premium on the United States bonds registered in the name of Win. 11. Vanderb’lt at the Treasury Department amounts to $9, 000,000, and, principal and premium, his bonds would to day command in the market very nearly $60,000,000. Agriculture is not moving forward as rapidly .as commerce, trade or manufactures, nor, indeed, as fast as population. A comparison of the statistics of tho civilized world to day with those of 1870 shows that while agri cultural products have increased only 8* per cent, during tin's period, manufactures have increased commerce and mining 47 per cent. Ex President Davis’ great book on the war, ■and a Life of Gen. Grant, by an intimate friend, arc both ready for the press if not already printed, and extracts from both are to be found in most of the prominent daily papers. It is a little peculiar that authorita tivc versions of the acts of two of the principal actors in the war should appear at almost the same time. Our Representative is a most untiring worker in the interests of his constituents, as is evidenced by the fact that he has been in Washington Cit3’ for some time past, looking after our welfare. lie, however, finds time to give Collector Clarke, of Atlanta, a prod, just to see how Mr. Raum likes the proceedings. He and the said Raum are at present engaged in writing letters to Mr. Windom about each other. 'Hie Augusta Chronicle Constitutionalist in speaking about an enterprise that tke South ought to engage in, makes the follow ing sensible remarks—one that has been burdening our minds for sometime : “ Why should Southern people everlastingly’ look abroad for help when they can help themselve ? Foreign capital is a good thing to have, but homo capital is better. Dividends are more desirable here than abroad.’’ It is getting to be popular for our rich men to race horses in Europe and England, to contend for the various prizes, and, while they have had first-rate luck, they have been particularly fortunate in the last week or two. A horse of I’erric Lombard's (the celebrated snuff manufacturer) won the most important race of the season upon the English turf, and the next week a horse belonging to Jas. R. lvoene won the grand prize of the French turf* In both races the American horses were pitted against the best racers in France and England. The oleomargarine factory recently started in New Orleans is now turning out from 5,000 to 8,000 pounds of the article daily. It seems to be popular with consumers there, and the entire product of the factory’ is readily dis posed of to the local trade at 18 cents per pound, which has had the effect to bring clown the price of dairy butter from 85 and 45 cents to about 23 cents per pound. The New Orleans Democrat says the article manufac tured is, by general admission, “ pure and wholesome—free from all the objectionable and deleterious ingredients so often ascribed to the article manufacture ! North,” and pre dicts for it a steadily growing j opularity and consumption. Stock Law Dots. 1 see in your last issue an article from the pen of Mr. Fair Play. Ist. In his article he says : •• We have yet to find a poor man of much intelligence who a Locates ‘no fence.’” Well, his acquaint ance must be rather limited, (for we have very few rich men in this county) otherwise con fined to the class of not “much intelligence." Suppose “hr” has not yet found one, does that, prove that it is more economical to fence the stock out than in, or that it ‘’seriously injures the tenants or non-land owners’’ ? 21. lie says: “ As, for instance, it would ! appear meet and proper that the owner of | lands should have the same right to restrain j others from grazing stock on his premises as lie would to prevent them from felling his timber.” This is all the land owners ask, and if you will devise any means b}* which it can be done at less expense and is more equitable than that of fencing the stock, they will adopt it. 3 1. In regard to the “ no fence” system be ing a success in South Carolina and other places where it has been adopted, lie says : “ Admitting that this be true, and what we know of its truthfulness is simply hearsay evidence, and therefore of the weakest char acter.” In t!iis lie certainly is mistaken. The advocates of “no fence” base their con clusions upon the evidence furnished bj’ those who have tested it in all its bearings ; upon the combined testimony of both those who opposed it, and both land owners and ten ants. This evidence is not hearsay ; it has been furnished by the individuals over their own signatures, a specimen of which was pub | lished in your issue of May 27th. The com ; bined testimony of such men as Ex-Governor Simpson, Hon. I). Wvat Aiken, Gen. Wade Hampton, B. F. Crayton, Esq., Col. Living ston. and many others—men who are directly interested in and strongly identified with all | that pertains to agricultural pursuits, and whose names are sj’nonyms for honesty, truth fulness and integrity—is to be regarded as hearsay and of the “ weakest character .” 4th. “It would be but an experiment.” So j was the building of the Georgia, State and Central railroads, and yet no other sections of the State had made the experiment. 5. “Our present system is an old one—so old that it would be cruel to attempt an in nr - vation upon it.” This is strange logic. To attempt an innovation upon a custom is cruel because it is an old one. Better go back to the days of our fathers and grandfathers, and substitute the sickel and flail for modern rna chinery, and the truck wagon and stagecoach for the railway car. Does improvement, pro gress and enterprise mean cruelty ? Then Webster stands revised. Gth. In his strictures on my questions pro pounded in your issue of the 10th instant, he says : “ The first of these arc not based upon facts, and are mere fanciful assumptions.” Now, it is much easier to evade questions than to answer them, and he has learned me the way out of difficulties. When I find some thing I cannot answer, call it a “ fanciful as sumption" and dismiss it. If lie bad taken the trouble to carefully read Crayton’s letter, in your issue of May 27th. it would have saved him the necessity of inventing a figure of rhetoric ( fanciful assumption) to open a way out. They were based upon facts, and Mr. Fair Play cannot successfully refute them. 7th. In his reply to the “two last" it is strange, at least, that a man of his knowledge of law did not see the principle involved in the questions, i. e., why can the owner of the crops recover damages in the one case and not in the other? Vandj: Llxctum. -4• 4 The Stock Law. Mit. Editor: —ln your last issue we have a communication signed “ Fair Play,” taking ground against the “no fence” movement, which I propose briefly to notice. Authors often betray a conscious weakness in the cause they espouse on the title page of their performances. Attacks on the Bible have been called “The Age of Reason,” and some of the most obscene pamphlets in the country have been entitled, “ Wholesome Ad vice to Young Men.” This conscious weak ness in the fence law in the communication now under consideration is obvious when the writer signs himself “ Fair Play.” No unfair ness in the discussion of the subject is com plained of, and no fairness in the operation of the present system is shown, and no un fairness in the proposed change is attempted to be shown. What, then, suggests the si"- nature "Fair Play” but the hope to gather strength where but little, if any, argument exists? “ Fair Play” says': This question is un dergoing serious discussion throughout the county at this time.” But what in the dis cussion is so very serious to “Fair Play” ? Nothing, I presume, is so serious as the fact that the arguments are all against him and in favor of “ no fence.” lie further says : “We have yet to find a poor man of much intelligence who advo cates *no fence.’ ” But there are scores of poor men of sufficient intelligence to see their interest in this thing in favor of “no fence,” as the coming election will show. “ Fair Play,” it seems, has been unfair enough not to make much enquiry among the poor about this matter, or. having made enquiry, lie has failed to report the facts. “ Fair Play” further states “ it is justly re garded by the tenants as a measure calcula ted seriously to injure their rights.” This I deny. W here they fear injury they’ will reap a reward. The income of tenants and wages of hirelings will be regulated by the profits of the land owners. This is always the case. If you employ ten hands, and make a thou sand dollars net profits in a year, you do not hesitate to give good wages the following year. But if you make but little, you cannot afford to give much for labor. The “no fence” law cannot be less favorable and bene ficial to tenants and hirelings than it is to land owners. Renters now demand houses for their families, and why not demand, un der the new law, pasturage for their stock with the same propriety ? This they will do, and receive it at far less cost to the owner than is required t<> repair fences. “ Fair Play” suggests that “ our present i system of fencing is an old one —so old that ! it would seem cruel to attempt an innovation | upon it.” Is all improvements to be rejected ! because they are new ? This objection to j -i no fence” might have been urged with equal force against the construction of the first rail roads in this country. When the building of the railroad from Charleston to Augusta was about to be begun “ Fair Play” would have said, had he talked then as he now does, “ The present system of wagoning is an old one—so old that it would seem cruel to at tempt an innovation upon it. liy long usage our people are accustomed to the wagons, and why should we now try to supplant them by an engine ? Whew ! Supreme fully !” The fence law as we now have it was itself, at one age of the world, anew thing. The objection, too, that this county should wait until other counties adopt the measure is equally puerile and unphilosophical. Why not this county set an example to other conn t : es in the State? The reason why the “no fence” law is not in successful operation in many counties in the State is because the colored element preponderates in counties where the law is most needed and where the most vigorous efforts have been made for the change. Such counties are now eagerly look ing to u 5 to inaugurate the “no fence” law, and shall we disappoint them and injure our selves ? Progress.
