COLUMBLAv8. C. Taciliy Sorning, February 11,1873. AdrtniuBci or ? Chans!? la Uio Fence Law. We eiuoerely tr?fet that the Legislature will not adjourn before making some modification or ohange in the fence law. It ^oppressive as it stands. It imposes a burden upon the productive industry of the country aa weighty as it ia unne? cessary and unjust. It permits any one to turn his stock upon -crops, whether cultivated or natural in forests and fal lew lands, when they are not thoroughly ?enclosed and guarded. Damages for in? juries done to crops cannot bo recovered, ?except where a plaintiff oan show that he Had what ia known aa a lawful leuoo. This fence mu&t be of a certain feeight dud closeneso, and; be strong and soand. Any defect or decay, whether by wind, fire or floods, or ovon tho malevolence of third parties, is fatal. And in thnB re? quiring the owner to guard and protect bia oropB, and holding the aggressor bb justifiable and blameless, our law of en? closures has been properly characterized as baaed on a principle adverse ? to all laws, as well as justice and tho rights of property. " Law, according^ to Black atone, is a rule of sooiety,' authorizing, what ia right, and forbidding what ia Wrong. The fenoe law cannot stand the tfytipt this principle. It is -a manifest injtMipe. 'There sro certain expenses in this life whioh- men appear loth to find out. How many families?^helpless wives and dolicate children?in almost every square ?mile of-all this country/could be made vastly more comfortable than thoy are, if the money that tho husband?oonshmes ?in/_dHuilpg, smoking Sftd gambling, wore only appropriated to their ubcI The money thus wasted by many young men, from sixteen to twenty-one years of age, if carefully hoarded, would support them one, and, in. some.instances, no doubt, tiro years, at a, good Bohool or college. It is surprising that our planters and - farmers no not oonnt the cost of fecoes. We cannot aooonntfor their indifferenbe, except upon the supposition of igno? rance, or that they] find a sort of luxury in them, like the liquor drinker in his dram, and dislikes to think of the ex? pense, or from reluctanoe to stir them? selves and get out the ruts of old custom. It is time they should wake np and look about them, and realise the fact that it is no "Castle of Indolence" in whioh they are placed. Do they think that $20,000,000 expended in fences in South Oarqlina is 'a, good.paying investment? We know that they generally desire a change in the fence law, but they have not spoken with sufficient earnestness upon it?hardly loud enongh, in fact, to be heard. From an artiole in the Feb? ruary number of the Rural Carolinian, by General Hagood, we collect some authentic statistics, which we recoom mend to the consideration both . of the farmers and the Legislature: "Air. Hammond oetimatoB the cost of foh^ibg the improved lands . of . South Carolina at $1 per acre. Gen. Ohesnut's estimate, in a report to tho South Caro? lina State Agricultural Society, in 1859, is 81 25. The duration of the ordinary rail fenoe of the country is known to be about ten years; and this gives an an? nual assessment upon the planter, for fencing his crops, of forty cents per acre. There are '.about 4,000,000 acres of improved land in the State; and we thus arrive at the enormous amount of $1,600,000 as the annual cost to our im? poverished people of fenoing their crops ?a sum four times what sufficed for the entire administration of the State Go? vernment before the late civil war. The United States Agricultural Report for 1871, in discussing the statistics of fences in the United States, places these figures still higher. South Carolina ia credited with #21,136,896 invested in fences, upon whioh the annual depreciation would be $2,113,689. The estimates of Messrs. Hammond and Ohesnut are only for boundary fences; that of the depart? ment includes cross-fenoes, and is corro? borative." We would think, that with snob facts before their eyes, no one could hesitate. It is at least four times as oostly to fence stook out as to fenoe them in. But there are many other points, somo of which we will briefly state, besides that of money outlay in building and keep? ing up fences, whioh deservo considera? tion. The waato of timber is no email item. Its destrnotion diminishes tho value of land, and tends to keep away ?settlers. When thoy come* and look over the country, and find the tim? ber, already scarco, subject to be cut =down to keep up miles and miles of fencing; and look on the statute boo^s and find thin old law still thore, thoy will aonolude that wo ar9 closely related to Rip Van Winkle, and pass by on the other sido. There is a bill before the L?gislaturo to provide for the appoint? ment of a Commissioner of Immigration. He is to be a salaried officer, with a fund of $15,000 at his oommand, for publica? tions, agencies, traveling expenses, of? fices, and the like. He oan do it, if ho have the will, and be capable, earnest and honest. Bat there's the rub. He may do some good, and he may. not. When we remember the land Commis? sion, the Sinking Fund Commission, the Commission on the Code, we become apprehensive that we may have another job in this soheme of promoting immi? gration. But we are willing to risk it; it is in the right direotion. Pass, how? ever, a new and sensible fenoe law, ex? empt manufacturing capital 'for a few years, open yonr schools and have them well managed, and yon will do more to introduce population and capital into the State then you could by idly talking about it, and passing bills in favor of it, from now till Christmas. Men under? stand* and?appreciate facts, while they are distrustful ot mere words and pro? mises. Again, not only is the immigrant di?ooaraged by viewing things as they are, but. saany poor men, already hore, who could bay a traot of land end be oome producers, cannot inour the further enormous cost of fenoing. And it is matter of some moment with such small farmers, that a considerable per Centage of laud is taken away from cultivation by the crooked fence?as muob, it is said, as-five aores in a huadred. Crops will be safer, too, when no longer liable I to be run over and destroyed by animalB 'going at large, and the peace of neigh? borhoods would unquestionably bo pro? moted by the change we advocate. Law? suits, wrangling and contentions, so unseemly amongst neighbors, would measurably cease. We might go further, and Bhow that travel on railroads wonld be rendered safer, that stock would be improved in quality and be better kept, that destructive summer droughts would be prevented by protection of forest growth, &c, &o. But we have said enough. Those Who have abandoned the old expensive system show no desire to return to it. Oar neighbors of Vir? ginia and Georgia are well-pleased with the change. Let us not linger in the path of progress. Whoever matures and eeonres the passage of a good fence law, instead of the present one, will do good servioe to the country, and be entitled to its thanks. *?? The bill to aid and encourage manu? factures passed its second reading in the Senate, Saturday, after an animated de? bate. The clause exempting new rail? road enterprises was stricken out, but a strong effort was made by Senator Nash to include the car-shops of railroads. He etated that "we must do something to enable manufacturers in this State to compete with Georgia, and especially with Augusta, where they were not only not taxed, bat were paid a bonus of three per cent, for ten years. If we would only hold out a liberal inducement, the prinoipal work-shops of the Charlotte, Columbia and AagUBtaaud the Wilming? ton, Columbia and Augusta Bailroads, which wore owned by the same company, would oontinue their prinoipal shops hore in Columbia." Immense amounts of real estate are being offered for sale in all ..parts of Pennsylvania, particularly -fprming lauds, the present owners of which in? tend going West. And as a result of farming in the West, they will realize twelve to fifteen cents per bushel for oorn, and encounter winters the rigois of which aro now being realized by the unfortunate residents of the Western country. It would bo far bettor for these Pennsylvauians to settle in the South, where lands aro cheap, the olimate ge? nial, and the leading markets in cany reach. When the franking privilege was abo? lished, peoplo thought that we should save the cost of that expensive luxury. It seems that we were mistaken; the House Judiciary Committee's bill pro? vides that the generous sum of $1,713, 827.72, alleged to have been saved by the discontinuance of the franking privi? lege, shall be absorbed in an increase of official salaries. Is not this keeping the word of promise to the ear and breaking it to the hope? ?????-* The Wat to Wealth.?If there is anything needed to convinco tho scepti? cal that cotton manufacturing in the South is a gold mine for those engaged in it, tho report of tho Eagle and Phoenix Company, of Oolambas, at tho aonual meeting of stockholders, will bo suffici? ent. Tho report states that tho net earnings or profit of the company for the past year amount to 0181,406.01. The undivided profits of the company amount to 8297,768.92, or twonty-foar por cent, of the capital atook. According to this statement tho stockholders, whoa the profits are finally divided, will havo re? ceived back almost their entire invest? ment. It is a wonderful record, and ought to stimulate the rapid growth of similar enterprises everywhere in tho South. Fifteen LNew York actresses havo re contly joined the church. STATIC I<IIOI8Jj\TDflE. Monday, February 10, 1878? BEN ATE.. The Betfate metal 12 M. President pro fcrm. Senator S. A. Swails In the Ohair. Prayer by Rot. B. B. Babbitt The following papers..were received from tho House: Bill to amend Sections 98,99 and 100, Chapter 17, of the revised etatutea, amended, which Btruok out the words "market valne," and inserted so as that the same shall be published in one newspaper in eaoh of the cities of Charleston and Columbia. The Senate oonoorred in th? amend moots, which al? lows United States bonds oa well as State bonds to be deposited by insurance com? panies. Tbe President took, the chair and an? nounced that the Senate would inform tho House that it insisted upon tho amendments, fixing the salary of certain officers. A committee of conference was appointed consisting of Senators Whit temore and J. M. Smith. Mr. Bwai.'c offered the petition of citi? zens of Loesville, Williameburg County, asking ru aot of incorporation. Notice of bill of incorporation given. Mr. W bitte more offered a resolution, whioh was adopted, that our Sonatora in the United States Sonate are hereby in? structed, and our Representatives in the House of Representatives at Washington are requested, to use their influonco against the withdrawal of the United States troops from this State, and to re? present to his Excellency the President of the United States that the withdrawal of the same would be at the present time detrimental to the permanent establish? ment and maintaining of law and order iu the State ; and that his Excellency the Governor is hereby requested to forward to each of them certified copies of this resolution. Mr. Whittemnre and Mr. Swuils advo? cated the resolution, upon a request from Senator Mclutyre asking a reason for tho resolution. Mr. Whitteniore-statcd, iu the course of his remarks, that he judged what might bo from what had been. He believed that the gentleman who asked the question now, should the troops be withdrawn, would be compelled to ask for thoir return within sixty days. He believed that it was necessary to keep the strong arm of the government here longer, for the moral effect it had and the advancement as well as protection of law and order. He placed it upon higher ground even than that. The troops did no harm, and left their money here for pecuniary benefit; remove the troops at this time and another step towards an? archy would be taken. Senator Swails coincided with what Senator Whittemore had stated, and favored in strong re? marks, the request that tho troops be kept here, considering their ordering away at this time entirely premature. Senator Mclntyre said it made no dif? ference to him whether the same passed or not, but ho thought it would be da? maging to business prospects. Senator Jones advocated the adoption of the same as necessarily expedient at the present time. Instances of the present organiza? tion of the Ku-K.lux wero cited. Mr. Hope believed he should vote for it; there was never any use for them in good old Lexington ; they were a law abiding people over there; he wished they were so all over the State. Senator Jones wanted to know if the Senator did not remember, once upon a time, of one hundred armed men putting iu an ap? pearance at the polls. Mr. Hope thought the keeping of the United-States troops here conveyed the idea that the people were unruly. Mr. Swails asked Mr. Hope if he did not know that military poate were established in other States North- Mr. Hope only spoke, he said, to dampen the ideas that had got abroad about Kq Elux, &o. The concurrent resolution was then unanimously adopt? ed. The same resolution was also intro? duced in the Houso. Mr. Whittemore introduced a resolu? tion, to allow Mrs. Francis Quirk to re? deem certain forfoitod lands in Darling ton County. Mr. Jervey introduced a resolution, authorizing the Clork of the Senate to roturn to the County Chmmissioners of Charleston County all books, papers and vouchers ordered iu 1870 und 1871. Adopted. Mr. Whittemore, from tho Committee to whioh it was referred, reported favor? ably a joint resolution to allow B. John? son, of Kershaw, to redeem cortain for? feited lands. Also, bills to incorporate the Georgetown Cypress Company; to incorporate the Greenville Agrioultujal and Mechanical Association, (amend? ments sent to the House;) to incorpo? rate the Aikcn Real Estate and Building Association; to incorporate the Reful? gent Society, of Columbia; to incorpo? rate tho Randolph Enterprise Associa? tion; to amend tho charter of the town of Cheater; to incorporate the Grend Lodge of Abstinence of the State of South Carolina; to revise and amend an Act to reduce all Aots and parts of Acts to determine and perpetuate tho homo Btead into one Act, and to amend the same; joint resolution to authorize the County Commissioners of Riohlaod to levy aud oollectl*fexes to build a Court Houso within and for said County. This last bill was ordered to be enrolled. Tho report of tho Judiciary Commit? tee on a bill to regulato the fees of Pro? bate Judges, Clerks of Courts, Trial Justices and other officers, was debated at length on the second reading. Tho prinoipal objection soemcd to bo to cat? ting down Probato Judges' foes. Mr. Jeter favored tbe rcduoiug of tho fees, but desired the bill returned to the Ju? diciary Committee, so that attorneys' fees could bo included and out down. It was deoided that it would require a sepa? rate bill to do this. It was flually con? cluded to tuko tho bill up at once for consideration, and tho attention of tho Seuule wuh engaged for an hour ormoro upon a large number of amendments. The main amendments placed the foes back where they were in tbe law of 1839. Tho Spoaker of tho House of Ropre tentative* was announced, when the fol? lowing Act? were ratified, viz: To incor? porate the Second Goosawhatobie Baptist I Ohoroh; to incorporate the village of Fott Mills, id York Cotinty; to incorpo? rate the Charleston Coastwise Transpor? tation Company: to amend Section 279, of Chapter 1, Title 8, Part 2, of the Code of Procedure; to incorporate the I Harmony Circle of the oity of Charles? ton; to incorporate the town of Hodges, in Abbeville Connty; to incorporate the [ Mariners'Chapel of Charleston; to in? corporate the Union Assembly Sooiety of Charleston; to incorporate the Flo? rence Educational Association of Flo? rence; to incorporate the Phoenix Hook and Ladder Company of Camden; to in? corporate the Grant and Wilson National Guards of Greenville; to amend the Aot incorporating certain fire engine com? panies of Charleston; to amend the Act to amend,- grant, renew and extend the aharters of Certain towns and villages I therein mentioned, and an Aot to incor? porate the Draymen's Association of Charleston. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The House met at 12 M. Speaker Lee ! in tho Chair. Prayer by Ruy.Mr. Hays, j A bill to provide for the registration of bonds, stocks and coupons of the State, and to investigate the financial oondition of the State, caused a loner de? bate, many amendments being olfered calculated to kill the measure, &o. Mr. Robertson held that it was very detri? mental to aontempluto tho sending out of the Stato any of tho executive officers. He held it was the duty to first find out who held the bonds, aud that one per? son could perform tho registry, then our investigation would be possibly practica? ble. Ho did not believe in legislating one year and undoing it tho next. Mr. Cochran supported the bill, on the ground that it was the only measure that would faithfully carry out the party pledge". A oonenrrent resolution, offered by Mr. R. W. Tumor, of Charleston, for tho appointment of a'oommittce to make certain investigations relative to the South Carolina Railroad, was passed and ordered to bn sent to the Senate. The resolution provides that the committee shall investigate the amount of property owned by tho South Carolina Railroad Company exempted from taxation under their oharter, and, also, the amount of property exempted by their Charter; said committee to have power to send for persons and papers, to make their re? port to the General Assembly within ten days after its next meeting, such com? mittee to receive uo pay for such ser? vices. Mr. Crews presented the account of J. C. Cook, for teaohing school in Laurens County. <??-?-? Report of Superintendent of Education. ?I have examined with much interest the fourth annual report of the Superin? tendent of Education of Sooth Carolina. I have in my possession the previous re? port*?, and tho purpose of this brief notice is to call attention to them. I think that no one can read them without coming to the conclusion that Mr. Jillson is eminently fitted to discharge the onerous and responsible duties of his office, and that he is doing a good work for tho State. Tho report is full of most interesting information. Ho gives ub the scholastic population, the school I attendance, the number of pupils study I ing each of tho branches taught, the teachers employed and their pay, the school districts, school houses, aud many other particulars. I cannot forbear say? ing that ho makes honorable mention of the University, and commends it to tho I support of the General Assembly and of the people. One of tho most interesting I items in the report is the notice cf the j institution for the education of tho deaf and dumb and blind, und tho State Orphan Asylum. But the report con? tains many other valuable particulars which I will not give. I content myself with this brief notioe, referring your readers to it, who, I am sure, will agree with mo, after examination, that what? ever may be the doubts in rcspeot to others, tho State is fortunate in having as the head of this most important of all the departments of tho government, a man of real ability, who is working ut I his tusk with most praiseworthy zeul and industry. L. The Tax Lrvt.?The correpondent of the Charleston Courier says : Under instructions of the House of Representatives, the Ways aud Means Committee are ongagod in the prepara? tion of a tax levy for the fiscal your com? mencing October 31, 1873. Tho plan adopted by the government officers had been to defer this levy until the next session, and tho committee had so re? commended, but tho Legislature is almost unanimously pledged to pass the jlovy before tho adjournment of tho prc jsent session. Tho report of ths Com? mittee has not yet been put in tho shape of a Bill, hot it is said tho following figures havo been agreed npon: Tux for expenses for carrying on the Govern? ment, six mills; free schools, throe mills; payment of interest on the publio debt, four mills; county tux, two mills; defici? encies for tho year 1873, three mills? total, eighteen mills. Tho introduction of this bill will render an adjournment impossible until about the 25th of the present mouth, or the 1st of March next. The now Texas Legislature, tho first really representative body that has met in the State for six years, assembled on tho 11th tilt., and organized, easily by electing M. D. K. Taylor Speaker of the House. There is a Democratic majority in both houses, and the Radicals no longer have their own way. Tho meet? ing of a Legislature of their own choice has had ti happy effect on the people; universal good feeling prevails through? out tho State, and the Radical Govern? or, Davis, is learning the habit of con? fining himself to the laws. iLoo al Ite-m 0. ?????

DuOie. It is published by Harper & Brothers?price thirty-five cents. An English cotemporary thus speaks of tbe author: "We rejoice to think that the mantle of Dickens has fallen upon Mr. Farjeon, and tho inspiration of the former has, with it, descended upon the latter; for the spirit, style and sur? roundings of his stories aro in every way worthy of tho lato resident of Gads hill."

Grand preparations are making in New Orleans for the celebration of the great American carnival, whioh annually takes place in that oity. The Mystic Crew of Comua, whioh proceeds with such Boorecy that not even the point from which it starts on the night of the festival is known the day before, will; doubtless, havo fully as splendid an exhi? bition this as tboy had last year. The tableaux, costumes, etc., oost the Crew, at the last carnival, over $50,000. By a card in another column, it will be seen that Mr*. Anna MoCormick, who, for several years, has carried [on a millinery establishment in this city, has determined to remove to Atlanta, Ga.
