F-A New York letter- says: "A conference ol 'Advanced Ritualistic^ clergymen, of this and the neighboring diocese, ls in contempla? tion, with reference, to the recent anti-rltu allatic pastoral address of tbe bishops at Baili more-or to be more sp?cifie, with reference to the anticipated subjection ot certain High Church rectors here to Episcopal disciplino, touching their, recently 'enunciated doctrine on the Confessional and the Real Presence The names ol Rev. Dr. Ewer, Rev. Mr. Mor? rill, Father Bradley and Father Miues are mentioned as prominent In the movement." -One of the first fruits of the partial eman elpation scheme legal zed io Brazi, la to arouse the people to a sense of the necessity for a better and more thorough system or edu? cation. United States Minister Partridge, who has tasen a deep Interest tn t he-em ac ci pat ion movement, has written from Rio de Janeiro to Commissioner Eaton, of the Bureau ot E lu cation, asking lor documents relative to the education of the colored people and the organ? ization of a free school system In the South. The Brazilian educators and public men, he writes, see the importance of this subject, and desire to have the results of our experience before establishing a system of their own to meet th? needs cf the em inclpated das?. He aays an agitation lu favor of a common school By stem has begun. "-Here ls a new story about Dean Rich? mond: A modest printer's devil in Albany en? tered the magnate's office, ftarlog that he would be rudely rebuffed when ne made his mission known. After a moment's hesitation he said, falteringly: "Mr. Richmond, I be? lieve'"' ''Yes; what do you want of me?" "I should like, slr, td get a pass from Albany to Buffalo." "On what grounds do you ask for * pass"' (This with a rising and very rough voice.) "On the grounds, ?lr, that I don't want to-pay my fare." Richmond, without another word, wrote ont a pass and banded It to the applicant. The boy took lt, Baying, '-Thank you; thank you, Mr. Richmond." "You needn't tnank me. Tn d-glad to accom? modate you. You arc the first person I've ever knows to ask for a pass on the right grounds." -Atlast New York has heard "Mignon," one of the pieces de resistance which Max Strakofch has been keeping back with a view to revivify bia operatic season, If perchance it should begin tox.3crease la popularity. It ls needless to say that no such ??crease has been noticed, but the insatiate public Garnered for something new, and "Mignoa" was brought forward as a peace offering. The story of the opera ls founded upon an episode of Goethe's "Wilhelm Meister," and relates to the theft of a. child of noble birth by gypsies, and her subsequent restoration to ter borne. The plot supplies an abundance of romantic inci? dent, and several complicated love affairs are pleasingly interwoven. Although the music la of a light character, It is by no means trivial or superficial, and the composer, M. Thomas, has succeeded in producing not only a profu? sion of beautiful melodies, but also a work abouudiog in those excellencies of Inventive? ness and science which del grit the heart of a musician. "Mignon" was given at the Acad? emy on Wednesday evening before a very large and brilliant audience. The centre of attraction was, of course, Mlle. Nilssoo, who by her impersonation ofthe gipsy girl delight? ed the auditors and gave renewed evidence of her remarkable versatility and vocal and dramatic superiority. The other arte's also won great applause, especially M. Capoul, wno "made love" to the unbounded admiration of the fair critics In the boxes and parquette. -Louis Nathaniel Bossel, the Communist Genera], who was shot recently, at Ver? sailles, was born at St. Breuc. France, In 1841, and graduated in 1855 at the military ecbool (ol La Fleche, and, in 1862, at the Polytechnic School. He was reappointed in 1864 sub-lieutenant ol engineers and in? structor at the artillery school, at Mentz, sod attained the grade of lieutenant of en~ pincers In 1866, and of c?ptalo in 1870. He was stationed at Mentz at the -break!pg out 'i- C79 bc* tfSS I C. V SOB httf '.l ' of the Franco-Prussian var, and managed to effect his escape on the surrender of the.] fortress-'to .he^?Geraans. He was the?j ordered on a military Inspection of the .available forces In tbe.vnorth of France, and ''on his return was reappointed auxiliary col? onel and director of engineering o? the camp at Never?. While holding this position the -Communist revoir broke out,"?nd~RoBsel, abandoning his command, repaired to Paris, \ where he-was plaeed-at the head ai* the Le-1 I glon of the Eighteenth Arrondissement. He next became chief ol staff to General Cluseret, the Communist minister of war, and was pres? ident of the court-martial for th? summary i trial of citizens who refused to Join the insur? gents. On the deposition of Cluseret he be? came minister of war and commander-in-chief, and held this office for ten days, when he was arrested by the chiefs of the Commune. Bos? sel, however, managed to escape, and con? cealed himself until, after the fall of Paris, when he was captured while endeavoring to fly from France ia the disguise of a raliway employee. He was then brought before a court-martial, and, after a protracted trial, was convicted and sentenced to death. Great exertions were made to secure a commutation of sentence, but Bossel's offence In deserting his military command and violating his oath was too grave to be pardoned._ An Excellent Idea. We understand that an invitation has been extended to the Eiecutive Committee of the Taxpayers' Convention, which committee is now in session in Columbia, to hold an ad? journed meeting in this city, where the Tax? payers' Convention originated, and where the Executive Committee would have a full opportunity of consulting with leading merchants and lawyers who cannot, at thia season, visit the capital. The use of the rooms of the Chamber ot Commerce has, we believe, been offered, witb. characteristic courtesy, to the members of the committee, and we can assure them, ia advance, of a hear* v welcome, and the earnest co-operation of c ic people in any practicable plan of campaign against the public .enemy. Judge Aldrich, of Barnwell, one of the members of the committee, has been requested to deliver an address, before the Chamber of Com? merce, upon tbe engrossing question of the day, and we hope that Charleston will have the benefit of hearing, from his own lipa, bis sagacious and patriotic counsel. Than Judge Aldrich no man has given more thought and care to the finding of a remedy for the pressing evils of debt and taxation, and we are satisfied that bis presence would tend to consolidate public sentiment, and give us what we most need-Unity ol Pur? pose and Concert of Action. Ta* Metropolitan Police BUI. Au attempt will be made, next week, to pass a bill establishing a Metropolitan po? lice in the City of Charleston. Following in the footsteps of the New York Radicals, a knot of malignant office-seekers are engaged in the endeavor to extort from the Legisla? ture a measure which cannot be justified by even the plea of "party necessity." They care little Xor the cost of a Metropolitan police, or for the uneasiness and alarm which it would create. Their only object is a fat job with plenty of pickings.,, The present city government is eminently non-partisan io character. Since the elec? tion ol Mayor Wagener, not one colored man has been removed io make way for a white man, nor has. any man been removed from office, on account of his political sym? pathies. There were three commissioned officers of police under the Pillsbury Radical administration, and, of tbe three, only one Hendricks-was dropped, by the new Coun? cil. No sweeping changes bave been made. The conduct of tbe new Mayor and Council proves teat they know, and make, no dis? tinction on account- of politics or color. Th ey ita ve even elected a colored man to tbe responsible position of lieutenant of police, which is more than the Radicals ever did. In a word, they judgj holders of office, and applicants for office, by their merits and fitness. They have no other standard. And yet it is proposed, in tbe interest of j Hendricks, Hernandez, and their like, to take tbe control, of tbe police out of the bands of the City Government, and place it in charge of Messrs. Willoughby, Pillsbury and Hendricks. We know What to expect from the ex-Mayor and tbe ex-Chief of Police. They would maintain their police force at a ruinous expense to tbe city, and would, in a very few months, undo all the good,?hieb tbe past few weeks have done. There .is* not a single sound or reasonable argument which can be advanced in favor of their a?heme, and we bope that the Legisla? ture will be wise enough, and just enough, to pat the bill oat of its misery as soon as it comes before them, The Feme Liui-An Important Q,u<y< - lion. Messrs. E. S. Hammond, W. Pinkney Starke and Tboe. H. Whatley, three of tbe most intelligent farmers in . South Carolina, have Investigated the subject of fence laws, and present their conclusions in a report submitted to the Beech Island Farmers' Club. They show that tbe principle upon which fence laws are based is adverse to jus? tice and (he rights of property. Upon the owner of landed property is thrown the re? sponsibility of protecting it from aggression. In cases of trespass, the sufferer must prove that his fences were strong, sound and of legal height throughout, and if his claim for damages is sustaiued-a thing next to an impossibility under the rigid requirements of the law-a trifling fine may be collected. While the farmer "can forbid any person "from ranging or passing over his land un "der heavy penalties, and may send the tres? passer to jail if be persists, he cannot pro? hibit his stock, bot at bis own peril, except "by a lawful fence." Fence laws, moreover, tend to annihilate tiie valuable class of small fanners by increasing the proportionate ex? pense of small enclosures. These laws "amalgamate the small freeholds, and bring "them under one fence and one master." This is a consideration which should have great weight with the Legislature and with all advocates of small holdings. Ten square farms of ten acres each, not adjoining, re? quire os much fencing as one square farm of one thousand acres. The committee say: "If left to his choice, would not every far? mer prefer to avoid ihe expense of fencing his crops, and get full restitution of damages if tala neighbors stock injure or destroy them? Can any farmer choose voluntarily to be com? pelled to fence out his neighbor's ptock ? A large proportion of farmers keep only work animals, milch cows for family use, and a few hogs or sheep, if any. Many enclose them all the time for security, convenience, as advan tageous to the s?bk, and to save t The,mlletfof outside fencw, if di! would save labofBnd f?iiiiiFtbi abie all to nave goo?pastnresj apota lor toiling ,purpojfeB. 'Ifwi able the farmer to cleaBgoodr epa detached pareeK as aero93 public l winding branches, between barren ridges, 4c, .which are often useless on account of the cost of fencing them; or the good and ihe bad land must, betaken, as lt comes, to get fields la a body." It is difficult to estimate the total invest? ment in the State, in outside fences. A careful calculation, based upon the census of 1850, gives the following result : 4,000, 000 acres of improved lands, worth, at this time $20,000,000, enclosed by 100,000 miles of outside fencing, the fencing costing for its original construction, $16,000,000, be? sides encumbering, and rendering valueless 100,000 acres of land, worth $500,000. The duration of such fences varies from four to fifteen years, accordlhg to timber and other circumstances, apart from casualties of floods and fires; but the annual cost of re? pairs cannot be less than 10 per cent., or $1,600,000, equivalent to a tax of 40 cents an acre on all improved lands in the State, or 8 per cent, of its value, being just eight times the rated tax, State and county, we shall have to pay on the same property next year. To this should be added at least 7 per cent interest on the original cost, mak? ing the tax 15 per cent, or 75 cents per acre. These statements may appear to be ex? travagant, but they are fully borne out by the experience of the whale country. Some years ago the cost- of the fences of the United States-"those unproductive monn "ments ol art"-were estimated by-Barknap at more than twenty times the amount of specie in the country. More recently their total first cost is placed at near $1,300,000, 000, and the roadside and boundary fences as exacting aa annual tax averaging $1 50 on every acre of Improved land in the coun? try. Nearly a generation ago, Mr. Biddle estimated the cost of the fences ot Pennsyl? vania at $100,000,000-, and the annual re? pairs at $10,000,000. Yet Pennsylvania bad then but about double the amount of im? proved land of Sooth Carolina. General Worthington estimates their cost in Ohio at $115,000,000. Ohio had abont two-and-a thlrd times the improved land of Sooth Car? olina. With about three times the improved land in New York, its fences cost according to Robinson, $144,000,000. Mr. Prince esti? mates the cost of annual repairs on the two thirds of the fences of Maine that are made of wood, on farms of over twenty acres ex? tent, at near $2,000,000.. The total Im? proved land of Maine Ia abont one-half that of Sooth Carolina. Illinois is said to have ten times the fencing of Germany, and Duchess County, New York, more than all France. And in 1864 the question was summed ap In the Llinois Agricultural Re? port as follows: "The fences of the United "States have cost more than the houses, "cities included ; more than the ships, boats "and vessels of every description, which sail "the ocean, lakes and rivers; more than onr "manufactures of all kinds, wilh their ma "chinery; more than any one class of prop? erty, aside from real estate, except it may "be the railroads of our conntry." We sincerely hope that the Interior preBS will again take up this important subject Virginia has a State fence law, which may be adopted or rejected by a majority of the citizens of each county and is of force only in the counties which adopt it We believe that Alabama hos a similar law, and Geor? gia is moving in the same direction. A member of the South Carolina Legisla? ture has already given notice of a bill rela? ting to .fences, and we think that, with a little explanation and persuasion, we may obtain this session the passage of a new ience law which, without injuring the large landholders, will be a substantial benefit to every man who holds a small farm, or who bopes, one of these days, to have a home? stead of his own. fjoGlcltcr's Sitters. ~~^rrWl^TER W I?D01?.^WARM clothing alone will not protect the body against the consequences Of the sudden depression of tem pera'ure which ls concomitant of early winter, flannel next the skin preserves the animal heat, jut lt does not Impart animal vlgsr.
