Bv^^TUor^l^^l^. 1873. ^ " The VMM la?W?- . r- , . ?The question of the necessity for a change in the euolosure Iowa is one of no little importance. A. measure of this sort was introduced early in the present session, bat was reported on unfavorably by the Committee -on Agriculture, and 'dropped.. Public opinion*, however/baa not failed to make-itaelf known, and we have copied eereral articles from our ex? changes, in which;the expensivenosa in timber, and coat of labor to make and keep tip fences, were aonelAsively shown. We think that a change is imperatively demanded. 1 It is impossible to bob or appreciate thu advantages of a system of fencing whose heavy expense is eooapen eated by ho snbstaD Ual or extensive good. Wrjnilry ii all against the imposition upon the farmer of the labor, trouble and ex? pense of fencing out other people's Btook. Lot every man take aura of his own stock, and not lot it roam at large, tres? passing upon thepasturea and woodlands of hia neighbors, and breaking into their cultivated fields. It stands to reason that it is wrong in itself. It in, besidos, a ecrurco of difficulties and disagree? ments among neighbors. We seoru pro? digiously slow in this State to find out a few.plain matters, although we have hod the'benefit 6? cxlianstivo and conolusivo disoussiori upori them, and the example of eaooeasful reform in them, instituted in Virginia, Georgia and" Alabama. A fine practical ?iHouosio? of the whole fonoo law,i and an elaborate ex. >l u ation of" desfrabt?" ebc?umi?' nrrangemcats, which' would'spoodily follow the adoption of a now syetoia, were made many.years ago in this Slato, in the col am da of the Southern Standard, published) ia-Oharles lon. No doubt the argumenta then used sunk deep in some of our people's minds. Bat, indeed, argument is hardly any longer neoessary. Prejudice and the mere mechanical difllouity of getting out of old rate, to enter upon the smooth and attractive path of progress, are the ohief obstacles. And these, we hope, are crumbling and breaking down. We have already commended, and again warmly commend, the portion of Gov. Moses* late message which is addressed to this subject. Hib views upon it are Bound, his treatment of eaoh topic con? nected with it minute and eearohing, and he has embraoed all that need be con aider od. As there is no politics in fences, and the argument of Gov. Moses is an excellent and instructive one, it deserves to be oarefally read and pondered, by the people. ? \ The last Legislature of Georgia passed a law on this subject. It declares the boundary lines of every lot or parcel of land a lawful fence, and provides for the impounding of all roving stock which may-trespass on it, and the collection of damages from its owners in eaoh and every County, after certain proceedings, which are described, have been had, to make the law operative in that County; i ^djr. Joseph Crews, who seems to have given: this, subject tho refleotion it de? serves, yesterday introduced a bill into! the Hoase of Representatives, to pro? vide for this'keeping and pasturage of stock. A ouraury examination con? vinces as that it ia a prndent and needed measure. - We hope that it may receive careful and dispassionate examination at the hands of the Legislature, and that it will not adjoarn before adopting some legislation that will relieve ua of en op? pressive burthen, and be in keeping with the enlightened spirit of the times, as 'exemplified in the policy of our more prosperous neighbors. The bill pro? vides that if any horses, mnles, sheop, hogs, oattle or goats shall break into any field of growing or nngatbered crops of grain, cotton or vegetable product, either for market or home nse, it shall bo law? ful for the owner of such field to seize each animals and keep them in confine? ment until he shall have notified, within twelve hours, the owner or his agent. If the owner is unknown, he shall adver? tise the samo in a County newspaper, or post a notice in three conspicuous places for one week. The owner (or his agent) of the stock thus impounded and adver? tised shall bo hold bound to pay nil damages sustained by it. If the animals should not be claimed, the owner of tbe field will have a right to soli them to pay the damages. In case of refusal to pay the damages done, the owner of tho field may ooinplaiu to a Trial Justice, who shall aesoss, collect and pay over the da? mages to the injured party. In iho second seotion of tho bill, it is provided that all fences of rails, boards, or posts dad rails, or of uny embunkment of earth capped with rails, or timber of uny sort, and closely and Btrongly made, shall bo u lawful fence; and every person owning stook shall be bound to keep snob lawful fonco around bis pasturage! grounds, except where somo stream or deep water course shall bo a boundary a auffioient fenoe. Any person ia au? thorized to enclose pastures, and to ohargVn? exbctding c^e j^*-?"?-, anm f?Jf eaoh head gj- etocli pastured thereinJP Penalles aUf provided in ;tbo fourthvSeotion against any'? person who may let tlown, or attempt to do so, any pasture fenoe, or open any pasture gate, with tbe view to let animals escape. The fifth section enacts that incorpo? rate cities and towns shall k.e^p a pnblio pasture, wittlin two miles of tho corpo? rate limits', Tor the convenience of resi? dents; alsov that planters shall furnish pasturage for each adult malo laborer employed by him, and be responsible for d??^8? flojjws'b"* oaWle jtownod^Bjy bis ? laborers.. .TPhejo'hi?rpea:nnVl otfierstock stray in to any field,, toad, lane or high? way, and become injured, the owner Bhall not be entitled to damages, except in eases of malicious mischief. We do not give this bill our unqualified approval, as it now stands. It is in the main, however, a good one, and we hope that the representatives of the farming interest in the Legislature will give it fair consideration, amend what may be defective, or curtail what is superfluous, and give us a good, practical law?one which will suit our oiroumatauces and i advance our prosperity. -> Pay Certificates. In tbe House of Representatives, yes? terday, Hon. Gabriel Cannon offered a rosolutiou, that all accounts, claims, pay certificates, or other demands for pay? ment of money from tbe Treasury of tbe State, be audited, specifying the claims, for what given, and the amount of eaoh separately, tbe person to wbom the same is payable, and report to tbe General Assembly. Mr. Sperry, of Georgetown, moved an amendment, that those claims, &c, be audited by the Comptroller-General. Pending the con? sideration of this, Mr. Grittenden made Home excellent remarks. Very marked attention was given during their delive? ry, as always seems to be tbe case when pay certificates are in any way discussed, and certainly with good reason, iu this instance. No action was taken. The matter will be called op again. Mr. Crittenden said: Mb. Speaker: I rise, sir, to Ray a word in reply to the member from Beau? fort, "Mr. Hamilton, who says he con? siders all pay certificates alike, or upon tho same footing. I bold, sir, iu my I hand, a pay certificate for $120, wbioh I reoeived for my services as a member of the last Legislature. This morning, I was shown two pay certificates, amount? ing to $995, purporting to have been Is? sued to J. Brown, for "Sundries?Le? gislative expenses." The gentleman who holds those two certificates does not pretend to know the nature of tho consideration for which thoy were isdaea, or Who is reprerented by J. Brown, ! only learned,.further, that (he' certificates are still owned . by a Northern gentleman, who gave to an ex member, in exchange for them, a car? riage, which is tbe second one in style that now rolls through the streets of Co? lumbia. Are all pay certificates, then, .alike, or to .be placed upon tbe same looting? J -l amin favor, sir, of au investigation wbi?h will go to tbe bottom of this mat tor. Let us find out, before we pay one ??I them, the consideration for which, ?and the person to whom, they were is? sued. I stand ready to votu for, and support, tbe mode of* investigating and auditing them which will reuob this end. -?? Borna. What tender and touobiog associations are stirred at mention of this name! It is well that we pause annually to con? sider thoso manly virtues and superb gifts which placed him, after a life of oare, sorrow and sore trial, among tho princes of our race, a bright particular star iu tbe firmament of lyric poets. It is sad to think of snob a man as a gauger; but he ennobled everything bo did, and touched nothing that be did not adorn. Tbe motives which prompted him to accept a place iu tbe oxoiao, bo gave extemporaneously thus: "Searching auld wives' barrels, Oob, obi tbe day! That clarty barm should stain my lau? rels; But?wbat'll ye say? These muvin' things ca'd wives and weans Wad muvo tho very hearts o' utanes!" His admirers?friends, wo bad hotter say?meet iu social conclave to do him honor, on Monday oveuiug next; and in honoring Burns, they will honor them? selves. < 4 ? ? ? United States Sen atom at. Elec? tions.?During the past week, elections of United Statos Senators havo taken place iu tbe Legislatures of several States, as followo: Pennsylvania, Simon Cameron, re-elected; New York, Ro6coo Conkling, re-olcoted; Wisconsin, Timo? thy O. Howo, ro-oleotcd; Uliuois, Rich aid J. Ogloaby; Nevada, John P. Jones ?all Republicans; Georgia, Qoni John B. Gordou, Conservative, and famous as a Confederate Genoral during tho war. -.? It has been decided to eroot a statue of Horace Oroeley in Central Park. The Senate met "et 15 MV; Prestdeni Gleevea in the Ohaijv Prayer by Rev. lJL W. Oamfclnga. ' . r Mr. Weittemore rose *o ? oaostion of privilege, desiring to hs*e Ins vote-re? corded against the "bid to repeal Sec? tion 4 of an Act entitled ?An Act to re? lieve ihe State of Soatb Carolina from all liability of its guarantee df the bonds of the Blue Ridge Bailroad Company, by providing for the securing and de? struction of the Same,' approved March 2, 1872," and'to repeal so much of Sec? tion 72, Chap^rlHrTitle e'; 61 the gene? ral statutes, sb'authorises) the State Auditor to give notice annually to each County Auditor ot the rates per centum to be levied for varioua State purposes, for the following reasons: The Constitu? tion of the United States declares "that no State shall pass any law that shall impair the obligation of contracts." The Constitution of the State of South Carolina declares "no la*/ impairing the obligation of contracts shall ever be --.-->-- 1 ? H'l'l.-t ??"?? l?_ OUOUiC M J.L..*o ?. *- -~ |/tfu. j til rr shall ever be enacted"?whioh, although the phrase as employed in American law relates mainly to crimes and criminal punishment, npon that which was not a crime before its passage?yet it is com? monly applied to any law, oivil or crimi? nal, and the States are prohibited from passing such a law by the Constitution of the United States." "Every Act or resolution having the force of law shall relate to but one subject, and that shall bo expressed in the title." The rights of all parties who havo been clothed with the possession and enjoyment of the legal obligations of the State of South Carolina cannot bo impaired by any Aot of the General Assembly, for euch unconstitutional trifling with vested I rights is prohibited and denied. The bill in question not only will, if it be? comes "an Act," impair the obligations of contracts made by the State of South Carolina with sundry parties, who havo been induced, by a pledge of her faith and credit, to accept her new promises for her old, but it will, furthermore, be a dead statute, from the fact that its title will, as well aa the Aot itself, mani? festly relate to two independent subjects, and, therefore, cannot have tho force of law. Senators Jamison, Y. J. P. Owen?, H. 0. Corwin, W. H.' Jones, Jr., Mclntyre and Hollinshead desired their names added, and it was ordered. Mr. Wnittemore introduced a bill to provide for the assessment of real pro? perty in the year 1873, which authorizes the Comptroller-General to adopt the measures provided for in Chapter 12 of Title 3 of the General Statutes.

Tho resolving clause was stricken out. Mr. Jones' resolutiou to meet in joint a8Bsombly on the 29th of January, to elect trustees for tho Agricultural Col lego and Mechanic's Institute, was adopted.

Rir Van Winkle?Such an audience as assembled in Irwin's Hall, last night, to witness the performance of Rip Van Winkle, we have never seen in it bofore. It was a testimony of appreciation for genius and artistic excellence, such as we think even Jefferson himself must have highly valued. The exquisite story of poor old Rip went smoothly on from tho beginning to tho olose, amid the breathless silence and unalloyed delight of that vast throng of enraptured listen? ers. The performance was above criti? cism, and no language at our command can convoy our emotions or express our sense of its perfection. It was us nearly perfect na any play could b?, and its gro? tesque aud ludicrous features will live and linger forever in the memory. Mr. Jefferson's portrayal of the character of Rip equals Irving'? conception of it, and if tho author were living to choose a man to personate it, ho conld find no other one to give him superior or even equal satisfaction. Tho whole company is excellent, and charmingly and affect? ively made up tho scenes and situations in which, like the sotting of a brilliant, tho skill and natuialness, the humor and pathos of tho principal performer shone resplendently.

Mil Editob: I wish to write a few lines for your paper, on tbe important I subject of iutrodnoing white laborers j and servants into this State. The great importance of the subject is admitted, without any hesitation, by every reflect? ing persou, and all are anxious to see white skilled labor and an intelligent and progressive class of laborers brought among us. The great difficulty seems to be in proposing some practicable scheme. I will premise my plan, by saying that no general good can be accomplished by one man, or even by one County. -My plan is for at least 100 men, in any four contiguous Counties, to unite together in bringing into their respective Coun? ties ten persons ' each, making 1,000 brought in by tho 100 men. Tbe entire expense, delivered at Columbia from New York, will not exceed $15.00 per bead on emigrant terms; making it coat tbe 100 persons $150 to deliver ten per? sons. Of course, some women ought to be of that number. This scheme would introduce into each County 1,000 per? sons?provided only 100 men united in tbe scheme. This plan is simple and practicable, and surely no land-owner or moneyed man would hesitate to give away, if necessary, 8150, in order to fill op his County with intelligent and im? proving white people. There is no ne? cessity to try to oonvinoe people of this, but wo muBt propose a practicable plan, j There are persons in New York who make it their special business to forward foreigners upou order, or act as agents in sending them in numbers. We must not be guilty of the folly of sending to Germany, for all perBons who are in? formed on tbe subject know tbat two thirds of the immigrants arriving in New York have not determined where tbey will sottle.

A New Departure in Medicine.?It is difficult to induce the medical profes? sion to abandon tho old grooves in which it has traveled for centuries. Purgation, venesection, optimization and blistcra tion are its team of venerable bobbies, and it does not like to harness up tho now fonr-in-iiaud of invigoration, regu? lation, purification and renovation, and take a now departure. Advanced practi? tioners, however, who are not wedded to old dogmas, admit tbat in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters we possess, so to speak, a counter-charm to tho malign influences that produce various diseased conditions. Thoy do not deny that in cases of gene? ral debility, in nervous complaints, and in all disturbances of the liver, tbe bowels and tho digestive organs, this powerful and wholosomo vegetnblo remedy effects extraordinary cures. Tho public rendered this verdict many years ago, and the enlightened members of the profession acquiesce in it. Bettor late than never. J26 |3
