and such as are Iroltl by individuals, who

Latest special news front the scar of
war is to the effect th.it the defeat of the
Russians at Plevna lias altered their
entire plan of campaign. They have virtually
abandoned the expectation uf
pressing the war successfully across the
Balkans. It will suffice them if during
the three months still available for fighting
they can sweep Bulgaria north of
the Balkans clear of Turkish armies.
The orders are to withdraw from all the
trans-Balkan positions.

A Charleston corresj ondent of the
> New York alluding to the investigation
now going on in Columbia and
the revelations made of frauds committed
in this "State under radical rule, concluded
his letter by saying:
,;I learn that so many leading Demo
'crats are implicated in the revelations
' -r? 'i-- :*f oi,

organised effort, having the sanction of
the highest authority, is being made to
suppress the whole matter, and let the
prosecutions already begun against the
Republicans hang over them as an iu
dueement to leave the State and hush
their mouths concerning their Democratic
accomplices/'
This 41insiuuendo ' is vehemently denied
by the members of the Investigating
Committee who declare their purpose
to expose the wrong doings of every
democrat, who may have beeu concerned
iu the rascalities of the past. The committee
asserts, however, that thus far no
democrat has been implicated and that
1 irther than that the Radicals never
gave them a chance to share in the spoils
of the plundered treasury.
The alacrity with which the radical
ring thieves seek a haven of safety from
tbc storm which threatens to land them in
the penitentiary was never more strikingly
illustrated than in the case of Woodruff,
who cups the climax of effroutery by engaging
the services of ihe Head Centre
of the Democratic party of the State to
defend him in his extremity. It has in
the past been no uncommon thing tor
this class of criminals to secure proud
nent and representative democratic lawyers
to apologize to the Courts for their
"irregularities" and to interpret the law
liberally in their behalf, but Joscphus
went direct to head-quarters when
he enlisted the Chairman of the
Deanvutic Ecjcativc Committee of
Charleston County to take his case.*
The junior member of the firm of Siuionton
and Barker, his counsel, is an intimate
friend of Gov. Hampton and was
chief of his staff during the war, while
Col. Simon ton Ls upon the editorial staff of
that purely democratic daily, the Journal
of Commerce, and will lend-all of his
prestige and iufluence to the salvation of
his client. Experience justifies the
prediction that the form of a trial and
probably conviction may be gone through
with, but punishment never, with such
influences to ward it off. It is a matter
of surprise to us that Woodruff's sublime
impudence did uot lend him to retain
the Attorney General for his defence.
Southern Progress.
% ?? #
There is every reason to believe that
strong progressive agencies arc at work
tending to advance the South with giant
strides to an era of hitherto unattained
prosperity in eommeice, manufactures
and agriculture. The policy which
was pursued in dealing with the
Southern States under the Reconstruction
Acts of Congress, has wrought so
much good out of evil, as to force those
States to rely uoon their owu resources
to a greater extent than would have been
the case had political relations with the
North been of a more friendly nature.
$or it must be borne in mind that the
governments which were so repulsive to
the Southern communities upon which
they were forced in 18C8 are now con- j
ceded to have been founded on a mis-;
, taken policy. As each of the recon- I
structed states has successively got rid i
of the incubus of misrule entailed by i
this policy, it has correspondingly |
shown signs of increased material prosrteritv.
Almost every day our attention
4 *
is called tcthc development of souic new
element of wealth iu one of our neighboring
states. In some localities immense
quantities of naval stores are being
produced. In other counties we hear
of the successful cultivation of different1
kinds of grain which had never before
been considered adapted to the region.
A rootnt report cn the co ditiou of the j
mint at Dh^rlorte G. and upon the J
neighboring gold mines, some of which 1
exist in our own state, is very flattering }
and shows t liftt t lie amount of gold and
silver deposited at the mint for tiie
year ending June 30th 1876 was over.'
$19,000,000 from the states of Georgia? '
N nth Curo'ina ami South Caiolina.
A train we are informed that tin* mica
which is so extensively used in the I
manufacture ol'stoves is mo-uly obtained
from a few counties in North Carolina, 1
three-fourths ?f the amount of this ]
valuable material consumed in Ameiiea ' I
being the product of (hat state. 1
It is hardly necessary to say that tlie I
immense phosphate deposit in our in-1 1
land streams is giving constantly i
increased employment to both labor and 1
capital and that thj development of I
this industry has but barely seen a be-'
fining at present. Sources of fresh
wealth sunouud our people, not only '
in the rich veins of hitherto unsought l
ores, but in the cultivation of varied I <
crops and their manufacture near the
place of their growth. We arc confident <
that other fibres than cotton could be
raised here to ad van: age, and if our j <
- - - > n :
planters would but experiment witn nax, i
ramie and jute, it would hasten the day
for a knowledge of a diversity of crops j
which experience shows is the surest
way of attaining a competency from
agricultural pursuits.
THE STATE GRANGE
Usury and the Fence Law Discussed.
The joint meeting of the State Grange !
and Agricultural and Mechanical Society
ot South Carolina assembled at Anderson
last Thursday. The first subject un
d.T discussion was the usury question;
Col. McMaster opposed the law. He
denied that money was made by the
government; it is the outgrowth of the
necessities of civilization, and was >
as much a commodity as any other!
ai tide of commerce. Interest is the j
profit of money, and is based 011 three j
things : ihe kind of business it is to be ; '
engaged in, the character of the man
who is to use it and the character of the !
I <
government or country in which the I
business is carried on. The reason why j
money is so deal in South Carolina is I;
because the security is unsatisfactory, aud j
because the money comes from the
North and has to go through so many
hands and run so many risks. Before
the war money was not taxed, and now
it is, which is another reason why the
money must bring a higher interest.
In alluding to' the bloated bondholders,
Col. McMaster raid he rather ,
liked that class of people. They did a ;
great deal of good to other people. They ,
furnished money to South Carolina in
her time of need. There was one bloated 1 .
bondholder iu petticoats in New York (
to whom, as a South Caroliniau he was (
deeply indebted. She had given ,
?l00,000 to Union College, Schenectady,
\cw York, for the education of (
poor young meu from the South. ,
It was then announced that Mr. B. ?F.
Crayton, of Anderson, would rend a ,
short essay on the fence law, to be fol- ]
lowed by a speech from Judge T. J. ,
Mackey. Mr. Crayton, commenced by
showing that there had been changes (
? i * - ??,1.:?
ana improvement in evuijiinuj auvui i
faruis except the fences, and that yet (
in nothing was improvement more need- ,
ed. I^Ic ^lcn went on t0 ^ow ^roin :
statistics that the fences h Anderson
County cost $400,000, and the annual
repairs $40,000 a year, a sum equal to ,
the State and county taxes. Timber, he ,
said, was fast being destroyed, and the ,
destruction could only be stayed by the ,
fence law. The argument that the fence ]
law would be beneficial to large land- .
holders only was refuted, by showing ,
that in proportion the cost of fencing on
a small farm was much greater than on ,
a large one. It was said that it would j
diuiinish the number of cattle, but if so
it would do good, as this was not a
grazing country, and by diminishing the ,
number the quality of the stock would
be improved.
Judge Mackcy was then introduced
and commenced his speech with allusions
to the difficulties which confronted the
advocates of the fence law in the genera
*nf mankind to resist the
change of their lifelong habits. He then
announced that he took for his subject
"The Farmer and the Fence," and proceeded
to give a sketch of what he considered
a South Carolina farmer. fie
represented him as borrowing money
from year to year and giving up his crop
to his creditors, and finally dying in debt
to many, and especially to the country ,
editor who celebrates his virtues. He
then took up the old fence law as now
in force, and said it was first enacted in
1G94, and remained unaltered until 1789, ,
and that uow the law deprives the owner
of cultivated lands of right of action
against trespassers, unless he has a a five
foot fence, but leaves the right of action
to the owner of uncultivated land. The
fence Taw had its counterpart iu the cstray
law, which enabled the proprietor
of land to take up and in certain contingencies
to sell stray cattle.
The Judge then went into the statistics
of the cost of fencing, and said that
the cost of fences in South Carolina was
$25,000,000, and the repairs at even 2
ucrceut. enual to $500,000 a year.
He also .'aid that the old worm fence
occupied 5 per cent, of the land enclosed,
and that 5,000.000 acres being under
fence in South Caroliua, 250,000 were
occupied by the fences themselves.
The speaker next poiuted out the ;
spark of communisn contaiucd in the old 1
fence law, forcing a man to give
the use of part of his land to other peo- 1
pie. The old law was unconstitutional
as nbridgiug the right ot action for in- i
jury to property, and if the new law were
rejected the small farmer aud laborer
who owned cattle would he without any !
protection. In his section two-thirds of" (
this class were in favor of the new law, j 1
and its only earnest opponents were the I
men with large lauded estates, their fields
already enclosed, and their woods unenclosed.
and which they did not want;
enclosed. lit then vvcut to show the ' 1
?Wantages of the new law to the laborer \
i nl small farmer, and to expose the
aliaey of the ar;;'iuients ofthoirt oppon- ,
m s of the law \vh (asserted the eontraiy.
lie then inferred tin falseness of the
prophesies of tho*e who threatened evil ;
to the poor by the passage of this law.!
by referring to the false prophesies of J
he peine parties last year, that if Ilami.- j
ton was elected ?lie negro would again be I
the victim of Ku Kluxism. The contrary j
was so cmidiatically the case, that in the
last seven months, under the rule of j
Hampton, no negro blood had been shed j
by any white man in the .State of South !
Carolina, an incident without parallel in
Similar circumstances. He then went
on to discuss the miserable condition of
the negro laborer as the result of Radical
rule. The employer is no better off
i:i comparison. Hand in hand the laborer
and employer have marched to their
fate together. This teaches us, from
severe experience, that the profits of the
farm must be increased by lessening its
expenses. This would be in a. great
measure accomplished by the operation
of the new law saving the great annual
?... r
uuuity 01 ii'iicc uuiiuiu^.
Col 11. S. Bedon, from Colleton, said as a
representative of Colleton, that they had
passed,'.through untold trouble, and hope
you will not force this matter upon us.
When I tell you that the grass grows
high and that cattle run at large and are
fat, 3*ou will see the necessity for giving
us a sufficient length of time to educate
our people upon it. The question is one
of fencing stock versus fencing crops.
We say the obligation of fencing should
be on the owners of stock. We agree
with those advocates of the new law, but
we caunot use it in our section. It is
important to discuss the changes necessary
and though no man has a right to turn
stock on my land, yet the privelegc has
been so long used that a sudden change
would be in the nature ofa revolution,
and would probably do more harm than
good. Again, said the speaker in closing,
I am iu favor of the fence law ruj'sclf, and
know it will do great good in thus- .
counties where the people arc prepared to
adopt it, but I am sorry to say that Coll
eton is not one of those counties.
The Prescoft Fund.
Mr. Editor: Your correspondent'K'
at Hoover's, S. C. over date of 1st Augti: t
inst. complains about the management of
the "Prescott Fund'' of Prince Williams
Parish, and finds fault with the Trustee
and the committee appointed by him to
establish a school in the upper porti- n
ef the Parish, for not making provision
for the entire poor, &c.
The Committee he refers to canvassed
the matter thoroughly, an.1 decided unanimously,
that the Whippy Swamp X roads
neighborhood contained a far greater
number of children who would be entit
led to the benefits of the Fund, than any
other portion of the Parish.
The claims of Varnville, Hoover's and
other points were considered and the
larger portion of the population
of those places was deemed transients
or new comers, and therefore not
so much entitled to the benefits oi the
Fund as those who were natives.
There is 110 desire to do injustice or ignore
the claims of any other section of
the Parish but from the very nature (f
things it would be impossible to furnish
equal facilities for everybody. No public
benefaction of any considerable
amount ever sought the beneficiary and
Qiini&tercd to his wants at his option and
pleasure. On the contrary, the bencfici
iry must confurm to the rules an J regulations
imposed.by those who control the
fund or institution.
knows very well that there is not
a more suitable location in the Parish
for bestowing the benefits of such a charity
than the point selected. There are
now in attendance at that school seventy
poor white children whose parents are
unable to pay for their education. tkE"
would mislead the public in
reference to the original amount of the
Fund. Instead of $40,000?as stated by
him, 1 am informed by a gcutleuian
who knows that it was about $5,000?
which makes a considerable difference.
Col. Hutson, the Trustee, deserves
the thanks and gratitude of the people of
Prince Williams Parish for the zeal and
fidelity with which lie has discharged his
duties as Trustee of the Fund.
The Trustee has the power to make
such disposition of the Fund, for the benifit
of the poor as he may see fit, without
pandering to the clamor of this
locality or that?and in the exercise of
that discretion lies the safety and permanent
good of the Fund.
A ery Respectfully,
W. J. Gooding
of the Comnittce
Tort Royal Harbor.
Much criticism is expressed by the
press of Charlcstou and Savannah against
the present village of Port Koval, which
boasts of becoming the future commercial
Emporium of the south, on account of its
slow progress towards it, but Charleston
and Savannah know too well that the
fault does not lie at the bottom of the
harbor, which is of large extent, aud
where there is plenty of room to build up
a new more appropriate location than
offered at the present railroad terminus.
Charleston and Savannah cannot
expect tc carry trade which requires i
vessels drawing from 16 to 20ft of water, 1
and particularly steamers, as they cannot !
wait for spring tides. Port Royal Harbor
is the only fitted point for deep-draft
vessels south of the Chesapeake and
therefore will not compete against
Charleston and Savannah for a trade
they cannot carry, while, on the contrary,
Port Iloyal Harbor will deviate the trade
from northern deep water harbors, and
therefore increase the commerce of
Charleston and Savannah.
We are happy to see the beginning of
iIn* W extern grain trad" seeking an out-.
i-'f for exportation at our South Atiantie '
('oast, and wo c.ingiatiiato Chailc l(n; 1
!*?>: having tlie honor of the first trial and !
we hope it u ill prove a success which
will be followed by other shipments, at d
the time i> not far distant when Charles- j
ton an J Savannah will join hands with a (
now deep water .Manufacturing ami rmip-1
ping Emporium to.be built between them j
which will complete all the natural ineaTfls t
to deviate towards the South Atlantic a
ports, the Direct Trade which is now
carried as monopoly by northern ports.
It will be also to the general comnier- a
eial interest of the South and West that |
their representation in Congress will \;
endeavor to have the protective tariff '
policy abolished and proclaim the liberal 1
commercial policy of Democracy, F>ee <
Trade, for the complete enfranchisement j s
and commercial prosperity at the South 1
and West at large, for which Port Royal
Harbor is so well fitted to cariy out the
new policy practically and economically.
Then.Charlcston and Savannah will shalcc
hands and cooperate harmoniously with
their new Sister to their natural advantage
and prosperity. P. P.
The Xathan murder, like the Charley
lloss sensation, is a matter which will <
not keep quiet, but every now and then
something regarding it is elicited. The
latest report concerning this celebrated
and mysterious crime, is that a man
named James T. Huff, alias James T.
Porter, has been arrested, who professes
to know all about it. Huff is a noted ;
confidence man aud criminal. He was, i
it is said, the prime mover iu the conspiracy
to rob the touib of Lincoln.
A revolution is reported to have broken
out in the colored republic of Hayti, and
Stirling and bloody times may be expected
if report, be true. Latest news from there
report the insurgents in force about ten
miles fiom Port-au-Prince. Aschooner
laden with arms and ammunition for them
was known tu be in the vicinity, and a
Haytian steamer-of'-war had been sent to
look after her. The city ot Port au-Princc
is declared in a state of siege. % A large
portion of the city was fired, and the conflagration
continued for two days and had
not been extinguished when the mail
steamer left.
Sitting Rull is to be returned to the
