Greetings, like Christmas dinner, corao better too soon than too latej and like the said meal, lose their piquaucy. if they come ? late and cold. 80 right here, not only ol in cold print and in metalio stereotype of expression, but from the warn heart, and. with genuine feeling, we extend to you; readers, each one of yon, the com pliments of the sesson, and wish you a merry Christmas. This includes every thing happy re-unions and big dinners.

The Ku JUbx Trials. The trial of the ease of Robert Hayes Mitchell for "conspiracy to prevent cer tain paraooa from voting, and to injure one James Williams because he had voted, continued during the past week, and was concluded on Monday last. Mitchell was found "guilty" on the se cond charge, id est of "conspiring to in jure sad opprc&s James Williams be cause ho voted at the election in Octo ber, 1870." The verdict in this case establishes the fact of the existence of a large conspiracy, and is a virtual decis ion of these Ku Klux cases. Tho r . ejfLJV , . .... . be tried till tho points involved in these cases have been decided by the Supreme Court. The argument of the Counsel was lengthy aud most able, and the ac cused had the benefit of most eminent Counsel in his defence. The oharge of Judge Bond was a model of perspicuity and fairness. The Grand Jury have returned a "true bill" against Rev. R. E. Cooper and Mrs. Mary Avery and others for "conspiring to hinder and prevent a wit ness, Rev. Isaac A. Fostle. from testify ing against Dr. Avery, a prominent Ku Klux. True bills have also been re turned against Join Mitchell, Lec Wil liams, John Benficld and others, their co eoneplrations and accomplices. Tho cose of Dr. Thomas B. White aides and Capt. John W. Mitchell com menced on Tuesday. The- jury is com posed cf three white and nine colored. Tho testimony so fur haa disclosed the existence'of the Klan, aud reveal p, crimes which put evenjthe Court House to the blush. Murder, the most revolt log aud sickening outrages to women, sod rape, are testified to by the wit nesses in such loathsome detail that the eminent Counsel left the Court House during the recital. The Court has beeo thronged by spectators of all classes and both sexes. LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. Highly Important-Bswoe moves to Impeach Governor Scott, aael Treasurer Parker. The Committee, of which i3owen is Chairman, which Was appointed to inquire Into the over-issue of State bonds has reported. The report char gea a fraudulent issue of six million bonds, and on Mow'ay this report was adopted as tho sense of the House. At 6 o'clock, Monday evening, C. C. Bowen introduced a resolution that R. K. 8oott, Governor of ^outh Carolina be impeached of high crimes and mis demeanors. Also a similar resolution for the impeachment of Nilea G. Par~ ker, Treasurer of the Sate. The House has been engaged in the consideration of these resolutions du ring the past week. Great interest has been manifested in tho debate Mr. Bowcn declares himself "terribly in earnest," and his course is endorsed and complimented by the Democratic press. No other business of interest of impor tance has been transacted since our last report. Tho Legislature will probably adjourn for tho holidays, on to-day, to meet again on January 5th. The Fence Laws. A correspondent of the Columbia Union, over tho ?tont tie plume of "Ten ant," writing from Hopkin's Turn Out, in Richland County, says : Every friend of agricultural progress will be gratified to see that the subject of fences has at last been footed in the Legislature. Improved stock, improved implements and improved culture may receive a full share of our attention, but with all this, we will advance but flowly as long as tho "Fence Law," as it now stands, re mains a stumbling block in our path. The great revolution in our agricultu ral system necessitates a change also in mis respect, and it is demanded by that great principle on which all good laws are based-?the greatest good to the greatest number Let us take for i.natauce a plantation of eight hundred acrb.* cleared land. The true maxim of a -'few acres well cultivated" requires about half this traot to be abandoned. The owner aud tnnants, or parties ranting tho same, se lect the most fertile spots; but in order to protect the crops the wholo body must bo fenced or each tenant must en close his own field. Would it not be more rational to enclose a pasture of thirty or forty Seres for the benefit of all parties on the plantation. Indeed it would, but here is the difficulty?there is no guarantee that the occupants of the neighboring plantation will act so wisely, and the whole eight bundrod acres must be enclosed to guard against a few scrub cattle which probably are not worth one-fourth the cost of the feuce. Again, how many plantations in this Btato are destitute of "rail timber." It is a fact familiar to axemen, that every tree is not suitable for rails. Many for ests which still have an abundance of timber, have been worked over and over again with the maul aud wedge. A law requiring every man to enclose his own stock will benefit the land own ??j uaumuiS iii ??Ii spore inn iimitea sup ply of wood land. It will benefit the tenant, because it will require less labor to enclose his few head of stock than to keep a "lawful fence" aionnd his crop, and ho will not as is now often the case, be oalled from his plow to replace the fence which some careless "possum hunter" has buined. His stock being under his eye always, will be safe, and rcccivo a great er share of attention. And lastly, it will be.will all parties, in the fact that it will abolish tho most fruitful cause of quarrel and ooutoution that ever cursed an agricultural community Q "Every map shall livo by the sweat of his brow, but his cattle shall livo by tho sweat of his neighbor's brow." Thus virtually stands the law of South Carolina I Shall we change it? Shall we adopt what other communities have- proved to be a wise, just and good law 1 Or shall wc continue iu forco one which is every year becoming more op pressive, more unjust, and rendering o ur beautiful land more unsightly. Wc arc told that wc cannot get rid of tho f cue f because the "bottom rail Lj ou top," but Mr. Editor, that rail ought to be the first one to njovt, - ManUFACTORIXO flhcRPRISI IN Charleston.?Charleston is fast be coming a manufacturing as well aa a commercial city, ihe largest manufac tory of doors, sanies, blinds, 4c., in the Southern States is that of Mr. P.
