FOR COUNTY COMM1s41ONER6, It. E. E=LISON, SU., JOHN A. HINNANT, CORNELIUS n. /EAVS, Governor Hampton Ias been suf fering from the effeets of the attack of pneumonia he experienced in New York, and has in consequenco left for the Virginia Springs to r6cuperato. It is to ba hoped his strength wlll be entirely restored. Packard's wife has presented him with twins, which circumstance enables an exchange to mako tho following fine point : Packard is swung between the horns of a dilemma. If ho reports his twins to the Recordor of Births at Now Orleans, the Nicholls gov ernment would bo recognized. If lie should fail to do so, ho renders himself liable to the penalties iu posed by law. The time for a de cisiol has come. In either caso he should write up the caso for the North American Review. A Charleston correspondent of the Now York Sun has created some excitement by charging that the in vestigating committee is wsvhitowashi ing Denocrats. The imeimibers of the committee p)ronounce the charge uitterly false, and say that not the least suspicion has attached to any Detnocrat. J'rank Mosos, who was charged -in tho -sam letter with having stdlen iino hundred thous and dollars, domands that his accu sor be brought-beforo the committee. Frank says the day ;for -unfounded :accusations has -pasud. o wrnts a vindication. Liberia. A number of Radical'leaderis are much disgusted with the restlt 'of .the fence election, and affirm 'hait Liberia is the only place where they can have a living chanco. We are ~free to declare that if their sole aim -in life is to draw the race line, and 'to pit the black man against the ~white, they are butting their heads against a stone wall here, and their appropriato'homoe is Liberia, or some ~hottor localitty. .In Liberia, the sun scorches 'The white man and the malaria shakes him to death. In Liberia a white man is disfranchised. What a glorious country that muBt be for the wvhite-man-haters, where a white man is not allowed to vote. No fence 'law cists in Liberia. ~Stock are alHowe'd to myeg~ 4L 'will through the impenotrable jimngles of Ethiopia, and to be torn 'limb from limb by the rambling lion, or "swallowed whole by thn festive 'naco'naa -orthe s.portive boa con - strictor. '.Or'if-tiis prospedt please 'not, the cattle can be driven out, 'of mornings, on the broad expanse o6f the .deaei-t of Sahara, u'hero 'the' sand is forky thousand feet deep, 'where never a drop of rain falls in a hundred years, nor a spoonful of water is seen for thousands of miles. This is just the land for those who only want~ to know whlat -the white man wants, in order that ~they may vote .against him. It is the only' place on the globe Where they uil.thrive. If they want to stay here, let' them come wvith the whites. If they areo determined to hate us, let them buy a ship and set ail 'for3Liberia .with the firat pro pering breeze. The Pence Law. Elections were held on the 15th instant in nine out of the thirteen .townships ;to -decide whether the mnew tense -law hall 'be adlqpted. We are grtifled that4~hoebhage has~ been made in six of 4he niae. This will give amnple 'opportunity to prove the beneficial ^rite of the change. Thie.old law was enacted about two hunma'd ars., a should long since have becomo obsolete, wherever agriculture has becomo the staple pursuit of the peopl . By it the entire crops of the land were placed in jcopardy by a coip ratively insignificant num bor of stock, and every yearl not withstanding uthe most careful pro cautiona, worthless cattle destroyed far more than their value by incur sions into neighboring fields. Be sides this, the courts havo been burdened with miserablo cases of malicious misc hief, arising from this cause, and many neighborhoods have been embroiled in quarrels in Colsewenllce. We' regret that some few white people voted against the change, for they should have seen that the alteration of the fenco law would appreciate the valuo of land, largely increase the crops of small grain and broadstuffs, and improve both farming and stock raising. They should also have recognized theo broad princlple of right that no man should have tife privilege of tres passing on his neighbor's property, or using what belongs to his neigh bor for himself. We are glad that a mnler of colored people, especi ally in township 4, voted for their own interests and that of the whole people. These in most cases were the well-to-do, industrious colored mien, who owned property and saw what danmige had been done them in the past, and who do not suffer (emagogucs to array them on the color line. They are good and safe citizens. But the fact is patent that, gener, ally speaking, the masses of the blacks in the county are thoroughly banded together against the white man, and will move heaven and carth to defeat him. They took this election, that was purely non plitical, mado a party measure of it, canvassed over it, drew the race line over it, and voted solidly to defeat it. Scores who never owned a cow or hog in their lives, nor ev,r will, shut their eyes io the law which gives all laborers a most .favorable chanco of keeping stock, and marched solidly to tie polls to vote against the land owner and the white man. At Jackson's Creek, we arp informed, they went oi' exulting -from the-polls, sayir-g, "If lhe white muan wants the fence law we don't wvant it: if he doesn't want it we do." Many individual instances of the same sort are reportco1 elsewhmere. This is thme, same old spirit they imaniifested in the heydafy of their power, wvhen they ran riot over deconey, tihe same spirit which they will evine as a mass, if the wvhites should ever disorganize aga in. With them it was 1no que.stionl Of fence or 1no fence, but simply the insane idea of thrashing out the white man, and reorganizing and solidifying their rotten old Radical party W e rejoice that they were beaten in six of tile nine townishiipr, and tihat in D)ecember they will be beaten.in the rest. They must un. .derstLand, once for all, that the white man intends to rule this country and is going to (10 it. if -they chooso. to come to him, they wiil be welcomed. But he never agarn will go to them. He .is .not going to legishatto againist thmem, but lhe initenids that lhe shall direct the legislation for all. The election of Hampton, in the very teeth of the colored Radicals, reduced their taxes and gave them the living chanco. .they nev'er had be(fore. Just so the alteration in -tile fene law will help them,.though they are too ign,oranit or too vicious to bolicy,o it. They mst be content hlereafter' to leave law-maiking to the white 1)eop)1, unless they wish to yield them a hearty co-oper'ation.

Mr.:St. Julien Jorvey, a talented young lawyer of Charleston, has been regularly appointed by the governor to the position of solicitor of the first judicial cirmcuit.
