THE FENCE QUESTION.
The Present System an EviN-.\ Kcmedy
Suggested.
Editor Press and Banner:
I see you are on the fence, or rather on
the fence question. Permit me to say a
few words to your readers on that subject.
First. If I had the eloquence of a
Calhoun, a Clay, ora Webster, and could
ascend the top of Little Mountain, and
make every ma:i in Abbeville .'ounty
hear me, 1 do be lieve 1 could convince
them that our present system is not the
system, and not the road to success.
The time has come; there must be a
change in some way. Do the farmers
expect to make and gather a crop without
fences.
Second. Your readers will ask what
do we propose. Simply pass a law requiring
all cattle, stock*, <tc., to b- kept
under good and secure fences, requiring
ilo feuqe around the crop under cultivation.
The advantages we will not now
attempt to set forth; every intelligent
mind can think, see, reason and calculate
for itself.
Third. I would here say that there are
now some sixteen petitions before the
citizens of Abbeville County in favor
1 - --i,.
of this thing, it iney are suim-jeuij,) i
signed they, with others, will be sent to
your next Legislature, with an Act prepared,
and if the land owners of Abbeville
County will go to work in earnest,
this thing can be accomplished. I very
well know many objections can be raised
against the whole plan, but no objections
that are valid can t>o urged. We asked
the citizens of Newberry, Laurens.
Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson,
Oconee, in fact all the upper Counties,
to unite with us iu this great project,
but have had no response. If they will
not co-onerate with us. we must try it
alone. Remember, too, that no County
in the State is better prepared than our*
to test this matter, with Savannah 011
? one side and Saluda ou the other.
I do not think there is a man in the
County?I mean one engaged in agricultural
pursuits?that lias uot seen
in the last two years dozens of poor
cows, oxen, mules, <fcc., tied with their
heads to their feet, hobbling over the
country to graze ou the road sides, corners
of fences, &c. How many fences
do you see through the country that are
not made up with pine poles and brush,
and how often do you see worthless
hogs and other stock on your own or!
neighbor's crop that will destroy more j
in one day than they are worth ? |
Farmers of Abbeville, these things]
should be corrected. If you can iind a
better plan?all right; if not. accept
ours and go to work to accompnsn mui
object.
I do not promise to write or attempt i
to write any more on this subject, as IJ
mn not directly interested in the matter,
us 1 have neither land nor fence.

soon commence tin- publication of the
above named serial story. It is written
in a superior style, and the plot is one of
^l'eat interest and strength. As a dcteeiive
story it has no superior, and the
details are so neatly handled, that, until
tiie last chapter the reader is kept completely
in the dark regarding the perpetrator
of a terrible crime which baffles
the best professional detectives of Paris.
The characters are admirably drawn,
and the reader is absolutely fascinated
with that of "Daddy Tuliaret," as, with
the keen scent of a bloodhound, he follows,
link by link, the terrible chain of
crime until the bitter end?bitter because
he finds a man lie loved and trusted
standing, with bloody hands, at its
end ! The murderer's self-written epitaph,
"Killed for love of a Woman," is
remarkably appropriate, and reveals
still another feature of the excellent romance.
It cannot fail on having a wide

THE FENCE LAW.
A correspondent of the Sumter True
Southron presents the following strong
argument for a change of the existing
law relating to fences. We.are glad to
see that the subject is receiving general
attention and feel assured that proper
discussion cannot fail to establish the
impolicy of the existing law. When a
large stock-iaising State like Texas is
able to keep its stock from depredating
upon the crop of the farmer, it is time
for South Carolina, where the cost of
fencing equals the whole value of its
stock, to do something in the same direction.
Itead the following :
"Under the present Statutes, 110 one
can lawfully worry or otherwise injure
stock found in his field-; but if his field
is enclosed by a lawful lence, lie can recover
damages for the injury done to his
crop by such stock. The Statutes in
question were intended to afibrd, and
whenever enforced do afibrd, equal protection
to stock owner and farmer, but
unfortunately give satisfaction to neither.
The farmer complains that thestock
owners tnru out their stock to range
where they please; tne stock owners
complain that the farmers fail to protect
their crops by proper fencing, and that
many of theui boast that they make
their guns their fence; one poor man
complains that the cow bought with his
hardly saved earnings, hasibeeu killed,
because found in his neighbor's field;
another poor man complains that the
"|'?n h? h;?.s toiled so hard to raise, is
being destroyed by his neighbor's cattle.
The misfortunes of either parly create
strong sympathy and an earnest desire
to find a remedy, if one can be found.
Experience proves that the desired remedy
can never come through the parties
themselves, and can only be eflected by
judicious legislation. If in reply to the
stock owner's complaints, you ask why
he does not keep his cattle out of his
neighbor's field, his answer is, that the
law makes it the farmer's business to
keep them out by proper fencing. If
you answer tbe farmer's complaint by
asking why he does not fence his crop
as the law directs??If he is a renter,
his reply is, that he can't pay a high
rent and keep up fences; *!so, if he is a
land-owner, liis reply is, that with low
prices for produce, high taxes, and precarious
collections from tenants, he can't
aflord any better fencing than he lias.
If then as it appears, the parties most
directly concerned, cannot settle this
vexed question for themselves, and it
becomes the duty of the Legislature to
arbitrate, as it were, between them, the
'? -4,.
inquiry naturawy suggu&us men,
nuist ^iie Legislature do in the premises?
It has been proposed, and the proposition
has met with considerable favor,
to repeal existing Statutes, and enact
what is commouly called "a 110 fence
law," and it would seem to be the best
remedy for the evils complained of that
can be devised, and if properly understood,
would perhaps meet with but
slight opposition.
During a residence of several years in
one of the largest stock-raising States of
the Union, (Texas,) the writer heard fewer
complaints about stock depredations,
than he now hears almost daily, not
merely, as some might suppose, because
the excellent prairie pasturage of Texas
satisfies the wants of the stock, but because,
as a general rule, Texasstock when
not in an enclosed pasture, are in the
charge of herdsmen or stock-minders. It
seems a hardship, and is a hardship, to
a South Carolina planter, that a crop
can be raised in safety in a state teeming
with cattle, and yet here where the
amount of stock is extremely nmueo, uo
field can be safe from their encroachments,
unless the owner or tenant goes
to an expense he can ill a fiord in these
hard times, and besides, he can never
calculate with certainty, when his field
will he safe, even should he build high,
strong fences. Jie knows that they w ill
be constantly needing repair, and the
necessity of such repair, involves additional
expense, loss of time and trouble.
in the rural neighborhoods of outState,
almost every man is a farmer?
comparatively few are stock-owners?
consequently*^he number of those who
sutler from the depredations* of stock, is
far greater than the number whose
stock are injured. This, however,
would he no argument against the rights
of the stock-owner, nor is it proposed to
interfere iu the slightest degree with
his rights. The measure promised is for
his protection as well as for the farmer,
and would, in the end, prove advantageous
to him in many way's. It is proposed
to fc/tcr. the utock, and leave the
fencing of crops optional. A poor man
who owns but the one cow and calf,
may say that he cannot aft'orti to fence
' * Trno. |,n(, Sl num
ill ;i jiumuic mtiu, ?.<iv , .....
ber of such poor men might easily combine
together and do so; or some one
man in every neighborhood could be
found to go Into the stock-keeping business,
enclose a large pasture, and for so
much per head, keep all his neighbors
stock for theui. Whoever reflects upon
the great aud irreparable injury his
stock can do, must be extremely selfish,
if he begrudges the slight expense that
would prevent such injury.

Senator Cochran of Anderson.
From the proceedings of the railroad
i meeting at \Valhalla last week, which
j we publish in another column, it will
be Seen that Senator Cochran is in favor
of putting the convict labor of the State
to Rood account, in cutting the Blue
Ridge Railroad tunnel. This is a good
'move, and is in keeping with the many
j commendable acts of this Representative
from Anderson. He has originated
jfnore good Jaws than any man in Hit*
! Legislature, and we think he is justly
deserving the approbation of all good
citizens, for his wutcLful efforts to benelic
the people of this State. If he succeeds
in getting the convict labor for
this most important work, we think the
success of this enterprise, which will be
an inconceivable blessing to the people
of this State, is assured. We heartily
wish for Mr. Cochran the consideration
from the Legislature which this important
matter requires, and we feel confident
of his abillity to attain success.
We care but little for Mr. Cochran's
political opinions, be they what they
may. What we want now is material
prosperity, and we are ready to hold up
uuy man's hand Who will aid in bringing
prosperity and wealth to our doora

Senator Eaton's Spccch In Ileha
of a Spccic Currency.
; We have read carefully Senator Ej:
; ton's speech in behalf of a gold and si
j vor currency, delivered before the peopl
I of Hartford, Conn., irrespective <
; party, on the 25th ult. liartlord is on
| of the greatest money centers on tli
continent., being a creditor of other set
tions to the amount of one hundred an
fifty millions of dollars, and bene
j doubtless gave an enthusiastic endorsi
men I of the Senator's hard money doi
trines. The speech is a very able on
Jcarefully prepared, and presents a stroii
'array of facts and arguments in favor <
j making the currency convertible ini
| gold and silver coin.
j The speaker insists upon the uncoi
I stitutionality of the legal tender ac
I mm uenies u? iAJugiv ?.?uj ?
paper as a substitute for coin. The Si
| prcme Court has indeed sustained tl
act, but in the opinion of the Sen a to
better counsels will at some time pr
{vail, and that august tribunal return' I
j the strict construction of the Feder;
. Constitution, which prevailed at an ea
{lier period.
j But apart from its unconstitutional it;
I the Senator opposes an increase of tl'
! paper currency for three reasons?firs
'that it would impair the credit of tl
|Government.;?second, that it wouJ
[afreet our domestic interests,
{third, that there is more paper eurrenc
I now in circulation than is needed. Ill
der the first head he refers to the case <
! France, with its credit destroyed und<
Louis XV and XVI by its unwise issi
of paper money, but re-instated by Ni
poleon, and placed on a solid basis <
specie since the late war; under tli
second head, to the speculative mani
which has resulted from the past infli
- 1:? ^ ntwl \? hir?
tion poncy "i wic uuuniij,
I has involved a loss of hundred of mi
I lions of the people's money; and undt
I the third head he makes an elaboral
[statement of the past and present circti
Nation of the country, going to sho1
that we have more than $300,000,01
; over and above what are required by th
! necessities of business.
The circulation of the United Stat*
j to-day amounts to over eiifht hundre
; millions of dollars, whilst in Great Brii
'ain, with its immense comtnercia
J manufacturing, and financial interesti
the circulation is less than five hundre
I millions of dollars. But, should it b
said that OB per cent, of her business!
transacted through checks and ex
changes, the .Senator replies that at leaf
jW per cent. of the same business is don
j in this country in the same way, and h
| shows conclusively that the circulatio
should he less, not greater,
i He ridicules the idea of issuing got
ernment I -Mids with the low interest c
$3.0-5 per annum, with the hope of thei
being exchanged for the present bond
with their five and six percent, in teres
payable semi-annually in gold. H
also lakes issue with those who propo*
to exchange national notes for greei
backs, and denies that there will be an
saving of interest to the people?the in
tional currency not being interest-beai
ing, and imposing no burdens fror
which greenbacks would relieve.
The Senator draws a sad picture c
the burdens of taxation which are irr
posed by the present debt, federal, stat
and municipal amounting in the aj,
gregate to four millions of dollars, an
as a relief from our financial diflicultie.'
proposes a scheme which, whilst it wi
place our currency upon a specie basi.1
and make it convertible in gold an
I silver, will reduce the amount of eirci
jlationand lessen the annual expense
I of the Government. His scheme pn
, poses the establishment of a specie r<
serve of one hundred and fifty million!
; for the redemption of the national an
j greenback currency, a reduction of th
i fin-illation to five hundred and fift
| millions, and a saving to the Goverr
ment annually of from orte hundre
to one hundred and lift}' millions (
dollars, by the one of a currency cj
changeable in gold and silver.
These views are all elaborately di:
cussed, and fortified with an Jmposiu
array of facts and arguments. Th
speech is an able one, and makes
strong plea in behalf cf a hard-mone
currency. It is suggestive throughout
jand will command interest, even whe
I it fail* to KPf;urt! conviction.

if The Late Earthquake.
The shock of the Iale earthquake was ,
i- very generally felt throughout this and,
'* adjoining States, the concussion being1
^.'niucli more severe at some points than :
ie at others.
if In Columbia there was ofily a slight!
> shock, and was accompanied l?y a deep!
d rumbling sound not unlike that occap,
jsioned by the passage of a heavily load-i
i>- ed omnibus .over a rough pavement. It
' oiroin if, ihn mllinfr sound?
U" j iW IJiXtllVU n^iwu vvr V..V . c .
e, made by a slowly moving train of cars,
ig! It is a little strange that the motion and
>1'| sound, which are said to have been
to j quite perceptible, should have been noj
ticed by so few persons.
i-1 In Augusta, Ga., the shock was so "
t,! groat as to throw penstaffc, rulers, Ac., *1
le'oft" their racks in nisoftlce, and to agii-j
tate the houses to such an extent as to
ie drive the alarmed inhabitants, to the
r, I number of several hundred, in the im- ^
e-j diate vicinity, into the streejs for safety. ?
:o In.Washington, Ga., at 9:45 o'clock,lc
til i there were two severe shocks of earthr
quake, which continued for about forty- 1
live seconds. The second shock follow- J
y, ed almost immediately on the first. It *
>e|came from a direction a little west of *
t, j south. There was a rumbling sound, J
ie,with .a moving motion, which shookj*
Id j the earth and made houses tremble, '
? i causing some alarm among the people. fi
y j In Athens, Ga., a distinct and very 8
l-jsevere shock of earthquake was felt at
if; 10 o'clock. Every one was alarmed and
*rj the citizens were thoroughly roused. At
ie Union Point, the shock is reported even
i-! more severe than at this place. The
afj shock lasted ten seconds.
te A brilliant, meteor is said to have been
a seen in the south-east, about the time of
i- the shock, and some would trace some
h connection between the two. But we
l-j suppose that it was most likely a bonair\flac
earthquake, which most commonly
ei is felt in volcanic regions, and which is"
i- the result of volcanic action.
