No Fence.
Ij gliding, Houston, and many
<otb<r council s of Georgia, the no-
fence law is in successful operation.
Not only have the farmers, rich and
poor, found it greatly to Iheir pecutu-
ary udwvntuge and convenience, but
on a recent visit to middle Georgia
we were struck with the improvement
in tfiu® appearance of the face of the
country since the horrid worm fences
have been removed. We Slid to May¬
or Hudson, of Griffin, ' IIow does tile
no-fence law work in your comity
“.Splendidly.”
“Do the people like it after they
have tried it ?"
‘•First rate. There fe no complain t,
but on the other hand universal satis¬
faction,” *
“What do those farmers think who
at first opposed it ?"
“Oil they all like it now, and those
flame men would not now vote to re-
establish the fences, They say they
were mistaken, and that no-fence is
the thing for rich and poor.”
farmers raise us much
stock as before ?”
“They raise much hotter stock, and
to a much better udvnntngp. Instead
of interfering witli| stock raising tin.
Iio-feuco regulation promotes vt. At
first it was a lit tie awkward till the
people learned how to manage; but
after fixing their pastures things move
onfamoothly and prousperously.”
He also interviewed Dr. B. F.
Thnrpe, of Perry, Houston county,
uud liis testimony was about the same
as to his comity. “It has been a gient
thiDg for Houston. It lias relieved
our farms of a gnat burden, and we
caujnow improve our lands ami work
at things that pay better than Keeps
iug up miles of fences just to keep out
a few cattle and bogs. The laborers
find plenty of work und nil nro satis¬
fied Old Houston now 1ms no fence
ond no bur rooms, and we are all
right. We have the banner county."
Our old neighbor, Mr. William
Spence, who now lives in Houston,
*itys the HO-fence law is a great bless
mg nnd he hopes all tho counties will
adopt it.
The writer’s fntli. r lived and died in
Sumter cwunty, Alabama. Sometime
after the war wlun the no-IVuoe law
Wiuuigjtuted lie wiih opposed to it lie
was fond of raising stock, nnd ho
thought the new law would be to his
disadvantage. But after a trial of it
for jti year or two, lm said he raised
stock more conveniently titan he did
before. The sooner it is adopted nil
over the land tlm better. Slavery and
lw'gh-pric<d eoJtdn built the fences, (
but they will never lie here to keep ,
them up. They wanted big fields,
Rut flow we want small farms and
rich ones. Better to fence in your

THE NEGRO CONVENTION.
| A Colored Man’s Sh*rp Criticism of
j Fred Donglass and the Republicans
--
To the Editor of the Aim—Sir: in
! the Snn of .May 1 editorial ruction is
\ made of a matter that is, I venture to
say, fresh news to a large portion of
its colored readers. I refer to the
convention called for September next
I at Washington. In the sataa article
| mention FredericK is Douglass, made of the the Hot), names George of
^ illistus and 1’rcf. ft. 1'. Greener a*
being included among the signers of
the call. Ih the minds of most black
men tlie most interesting part of the
affair is that no popular demand lias
been made by the blacks for a conven¬
tion at tins time, and that no prelimi
nary movement on their part has giv¬
en authority to tlie gentlemen send*,
mg forth this call to do-so in the
and on the authority of the black
voters of the countiy North or South.
| Irish 1 he Nationalists, blacks of this country, singularly like the
are uus
fortunate in their leaders. Both are
led and ruled by met) who seem to
consider that their own views and per- j
solial interests are at all times prefera- |
bln in the common welfare, and that
the ordinary mortal is in this world
for tlie sole purpose of gloryfyiug
them, and to serve as humble and
willing agents iu carrying out to a
successful end their selfish and unto-
Ward schemes.
It is (rue that the blacks are rest
less ami throughly dissatisfied. Il is
also trim that that many think that
sonic good might be accomplished by
coining together and counselling as to
wbat should conduce to the better
welfare of the blacks iu the United
States. It may be said in addition
that the grievances of the blacks aro
well known and it is not necessary
here to restate them.
It may be said that there are two fa¬
tal stumbling blocks that stand in the
way aud block the progress of the black
man. The first is the Republican
party. The second is the element of,
and with us, claiming precedence by
virtue of culture, wealth and political
influence, that stoves ns the pliant
tool of the dominant party, and stands
ready at all times to betray and sacri
fine (lit, raeojlo which it is bound by
indissoluble ties of nature’s making.
Both factors are greatly to be dreaded.
It is hind to say which is the worst.
But, if Any, those who arc willing and
anxious to do the diry work of politi-
cal knaves of high degree deserve even
a greater depth of ouutempt than the
principals, seeing that even these tools
are of a certain men of intelligence
and supposed refinement.
Briefly, this convention is a “weak
inveutiou of the enemy,’’ destined to
cut off and forestall tiny attempt at a
popular call by the people and for the
l^'Plc. Mr. Douglass lends his name
»'id influence, as. usual--in fact, as he
, ' a " always done—to mislead his race,
Tho convention is called at Washing-
*°n, so that, being under the august
<’ye of the administration, it may be
managed, and the refractory
members, if there be any, may be
brought directly to the notice of
n is sate u> suj mat none or tiitse
toward that etd should be made, leav-

^ , ;iUn , hare of the pl
breeds a malaria that cuts down men’s
characters like a scythe. No healthy

These considerations are urgent,
;u 'd call for attention, and it is to be
hoped that chicanery and jugglery
will not be permitted to override the
honest five thought and speech of n
j deeply distressed race.
How the Republican party deceived
] and tricked the blacks only a few peo-
Pie are fairly aware of, and for that
rerson we cannot fail to number it in
the front ratik of our eucinies. Still
| tlie Itepublioau party leaders excepted,
I we, tbo black race, have no greater
enemy in this land than the baud of
men of whom we have spoken, led by
the arch traitor, Frederick Douglass,
Therefore, iu (he light of reason and

triotic blacks to use every meaus und

of the negro by legislation, not?on acs
count of fitness from a slave to a citi-

senfstion of the S »utli in Coffgress.-
and when white ascendency was cou-
snmated, strengthened the force of
Southern opinion iu national nyj.isures
and caused leading Northern m-natois
to announce that the negro as a ci. i-

Adams, N. Y.. Jan. 30, 1SS2.
Dr. B. J. Kendall & Co.,Gents:—Hav¬
ing used a good deal of your Kendall’s
Spavin Cure with great success, I thought
I would let you know what it has done for¬
me. Two years ago I had as speedy a
colt as was ever raised in Jefferson county.
When I was breaicing him he kicked over
the cross bar and got fast and tore one of
his hind legs all to pieces. I employed t he
best farriers, but they all said he was
spoiled. I He had a very large thorough- Ken¬
pin, and used two bottles of your
dall’s Spavin Cure, and it took the bunch
entirely off, and he sold afterwards for
$1800. /have used it for bone spavins
and wind galls, and it has always cured
completely aud left the leg smooth.
It is a splended medicine for rheumatism
I have recommended it to a good many,
«nd they an say it does the work. I was
j in Witherington & Kneelands’s drugstore,
in Adams, the other day and saw a very
! ,iuc picture you sent them. I tried to buy
, it but could not they said if I would write
, ;

wish you would, and I will do you all the
good I can. Very respectfully,
