Fencing (attic. As the stock laws now in force in this seetiou of the State have admittedly worked well for the colored cotton } lantcrs cu the islands, and no one-so far kuown desires a restoration of the old fence law, the preseut would seem to be ft favorable tiiue to advance a step further in behalf of another interest equally deserving of legislative consideration. The present law seems to have been based Upon the idea that if cattle &c., were only kept out of the cotton fields during the warui months, they could do no harm after the advent of cold weather even if turned out to forage for themselves in any and all directions. Whatever may have been the state of things some years ago a notable change has lately takcu place. The production of Sea Island cotton at its present value is simply impossible to the white employer of labor, and be must, perforce turn his attcutiou to other produc tions. These products are the different root-crops, including Irish potatoes, and various eariy vegetables suited for shipment to distant markets. But in order to the successful cultivation of this class of products, is absolutely neccessarv that the plantor should enjoy the use of his own land all winter, and this he cannot do under present statute law. If stock owners in general are able to keep their animals well in hand seven months of the year they can also do so the remaining five months, and there can he little hardship involved in an alteration of the law to that effect. We hope an effort will be made during the next session of the legislature to get a bill through making the above change, thus placing all our local planting interests on an equal footing. A great ado is made over an interview of a correspondent of the New York World with : Niles G. Parker during which he tells a great deal about the manipulation of the State bonds and gives it to be understood that Mr, Cham bcrlaio is the great thief of the lot. These confessions of the members of the *uig that robbed the State of millions are all on a par, lots of talk and a great laok ?of specific charges that would give ground on which to frame an indieiine it. There eould be no more blind admissions if the ring members all bad an understanding and it is cvidont that nothing is coming from them voluntary that will criminally injure the rest If Parker could be put on the witness stand and be made to tell what be knows he could furnish evidence that will never be obtained through newspapers correspondents. The following extract from Parker's "confession" is the nearest in which he <comes to making direct charges and in this it will be seen that he declines to say what the bribe given to Chamberlain was for. "I know that Chamberlain received $2,000 direct for his connection with a transaction which I do not care yet to make public. It was the same transaction alluded to in the letter which Elliott read in the last nominating convention. He rose and brandishing this letter and threatening to make its contents public an agreement was thereupon patched up between him and Chamberlain, and he made the best ot his previous threats against him. He read the iettcr omitting the names of the persons concerned, one of whom was Chamberlaiu. I have spoken of the 8150,000 due bill in favor of Kimpton, audited by the financial board. Now, when Kimptou was appointed financial agent an agreement was made between him, Chamberlain and myself that all commissions accurriug to him should be divided equally among the three. Scott was left /.out of this arrangemeut, although he was on the financial board. Chamberlain and myself were thus /entitled by this agreement to $50,000 of the audited claim. As a matter of fact we never got a dollar of this amount, for Kimpton's due bill has never been paid, and I should be very much surprised if it ever should be, in view of the coming developments in the coming investigation. Both Chamberlain and Kiuipton will deny this arrangement as a matter of course, but is a fact nevertheless." "What is desired and believed to be importaut is, to expose thoroughly the corrupt practices, irauds and rogueries of leading men, still of political iuyiort ance and likely to do damage in the future, unless exposed and broken down in their characters and influence by un- | deniable evidence. And the investigations of the Committee, on which those indictments have issued,-are not confined to Rcpubl;cans, but embrace Democrats as well. We only want the truth to come out, and dangerous iuen aspiring to importance to stand before the country in their true colors and shorn of their power for evil." The above statement from the Charleston Journal of Commerce will, if well founded, be the source of the greatest, gratification to the best class of citizens | as well in other parts of the country as in South Carolina. It will effectually silence the hue and cry now raised of i persecution by suspected pi un lore rs and 1 would be a sincere way of car/ying into < c3ecf the ?>?e .?e-d Ciant on a former occasion 4'Let no guilty man CfccajKi. ' To that respectable body of it irons to whose exertions the prcseut icgutoerated condition of our State w.due," who voted for Hayes and Hampton, the assurance that corrupt democrats as well as republicans a:c to he made to suffer for their past misdeeds would be especially reassuring. It would tend to show the supporters of that ticket, that the object sought by them in the union of those names is steadily being attained, audit would serve to unite into one party all of those who desire to sec reform and good government secured to the State and to the entire nation. HINTING ISLAND LIGHT. % A Splendid Structure But Doomed to Dent ruction - * The parable of the man who built ins house upon the sand and suffered a collapse in his real estate investment would apply so perfectly to the erection of the Hunting Island light-house that the action of the representatives of the government would seem to have beeu foretold eighteen hundred years ago. This magnificent structure, composed of iron and brick, appears to be the perfection of mechanical and engineering skill and is worth a visit to the island to see. The foundations were laid fifteen feet deep and cover a large space filled with stone and cement and was calculated to outlast the Eddystone light-house now over |u century old. The outside or shell of the tower is of iron plates bolted together and fitted so nicely as scarcely b show the joints. Inside of this iron is a towerof bricks which gives it solidity and strength. A flight of 247 iron steps takes the visitor up to the little room where the watchman keeps his lonely vigils during the tedious hours of the night, without a fire in Winter or a cooling drink in summer. The beacon is known as a revolving light and the flashes which are visible thirty miles occur every thirty seconds, differing from any other light on the coast, so that the mariner when he reaches our shores in the night and sees the light, can tell just where he is. Tho tower is also painted differently from the others, enabling captains to tell in the day time what portion of the coast it guards. Outside of the cubby-hole where the keepers watch is a railing 120 feet above ground from which one gets a magnificent view of the surrounding countryfar as the eye can reach. Every tiling seems as perfect aud complete us a lavish expenditure could make it. The house built for the residence of the keepers is large and commodious, of the cottage style, but surrounded on ever}'side by a wild tangle of bushes and ponds from which myriads of mosquitoes emerge to torture the men who are the resideuts of this desolate and forlorn island. But wc started out to tell how the government officers who located and built this establishment erred in its location. The Tower is built on a sand hill elevated about twenty-five feet above tidewater and at the time of its erection, three years ago, about 450 feet from the breakers, which at this point at times are very heavy and seemingly irresistible. Since that time 150 feet of the island have gone down before the waves, 100 feet have been washed away within the past year, leaving but 350 feet of <and yet to be washed, to ensure the destruction of this structure which cost the United States $150,000. At the present rate of the encroachment of the .lAA V.,i I i 1, ??/\ r\ |,AA ?n AAft svl A 1\aT<vWA llA >ua unt mice jcuro can ciujjsc wiuiu uiv building must fall or be removed to a safer place. We learn that Capt. Boutelle and others advised against the location of the light as, from appearances, its doom was certain at the time it was built. A large sand ridge which was supposed to offer great protection at the time has entirely melted away and now there remains but a low sandy tangled piece of ground to be overcome by the waves to entirely destroy that portion of the island. Another proof of the danger is the fact that the old light that was destroyed during the war is now entirely obliterated, the spot on which it stood being now threefourths of a mile at sea and the eud of the island fast disappearing. The only available spot for the erection of the light house now that its removal will soon be necessary is Ilarbor Island which is located about one mile inland and was rfccommcnded at the start as the safest and best spot for the light. The light-house board has taken fright at the impending danger and tho Secretary of the Treasury will embody in his report to the next Congress a recommendation for an appropriation of five thousand dollars to make a breakwater for the protection of the tower. Such a scheme however, is not believed to be of any use as if the work of the water continues on the upper end of. the island it will disappear in, a short time beyond where the light-house now stands. ' The visitors to the light-house will find the gentlemanly keepers, Messrs Cuthbert, Bolds aud Hazel, ready to show them all the wonderful sights, the working of the machinery that makes the light revolve, and assist them to mount to the dizzy height of the tower where the average man of a nervous temi>crament is soon ready to begin the long descent and acknowledge that he prefers, the solid ground even if it is composed of shifting sand.

J. > O ? ? The correspondent of the New Yor Sun, writing from Columbia says tha Gen. Butler on his return to Columbi from * Washington appeared befof the Investigating Committee and mad a long speech, in which he advocated a abandonment of their present proceeding upon grounds of public policy?that the were injurious to the Democratic part North, to the State, and to Gov. Hamj onmmiftnn nlm wi?r present heard him with much approba tion, but no further action was taken i the premises until Gov. Hampton coul return and gives his views upon th subject. 4 4In consequence of this diversion b Gen. Butler "says the correspondent" th committee gave out no new bills thoug it is said sundry bills were prepare against Democrat members of the Gran Jury, as well as bills against Unite States Senator John J. Patterson, ex Attorney-General William Stone, an other Republicans. Attorney-Genera Conner awaited the action of the con niittee until 12 o'flock, when, hearin nothing'from them, he handed out th Woodruff bills, and then the jury wa dismissed. I cannot as yet give the alleged c real reasons for Gen. Butler's interpos tion before the committee. But, cor tomporaneously with his return throug Washington, there came tidings thi several of Pennsylvania's distinguishe lawyers had volunteered to defend Joh J. Patterson, Cardoso, Hoge, and oth( refugee South Carolina Republican! who have* fled for protection to th immediate court of Mr. Hayes; that the defence before Chief Justice Carter t the District of Columbia would be th do jure right of Gov. Hampton to. h position, and to make requisition t nn/1 tb&r t.hfl nnnors would ho t framed as to pduiit of an appeal, necessary to the United States Suprcifl Court. This would re-open the who! question of the late election. It was also stated, and has sine proved true, that United States I)istri( Attorney William Stone had sent hi resignation to President Hayes; and tin in consideration of the committee' abandonment of further action, Senate elect Butler was to have the choice of hi successor. In addition it was threat* nc that if this compromise was not cffecte ^x-Judgc Carpenter would bo appointc in Stone's place, and he would take sue steps as would protect the impeache Republicans in the United States Circui Court under Ju ;ge Bond. The only one of the committee \vh appeared averse to acquic cing in thi quasi Federal demand was the chairman Senator Cochran, a Republican, wh seems to hftvc a petf ct mauia for prose cuting all his old Republican cronif and for suppressing everything agains some of the leading Democrats. H uaturally, is scuttling the sinking ship and making for the nearest floatini chicken coop. The whole investigation is, therefore likely to come to a speedy end. Th Democratic papers will announce tha Woodruff & Jones, the great culprits have disgorged $300*000, of the stolei plunder, that all practical ends havcbcei accomplished, and that no more can b it.-., j rri _ 1? i ,i_ cnecieu. ano cousonuauuu uunus rt duced to half a million or so, and as : scape-goat among the Democracy, the phosphate monopolies will be divested ol their chartered rights." The enemies of Secretary Schurz una ble to find any flaw in his character huvi all along insisted that he was not a "prac tical man," but some of them have re ccntly found to their sorrow that he is j great deal more practical than they ha< 1 T M 1 supposed, in connection wun ms department is the supervision of the publi* lands. Upon assuming his official dude he learned that the Government had fo years been subject to great loss by thi depredations of lumber thieves who woulc cut the choicest pine timber upon th< uusold lands of Mincsota, Michigan am Wisconsin, and whatever might suit theii purposes in Louisiana; float it to market and pocket the proceeds. Discarding al the methods of his predecessors, who hac vainly endeavored to put a stop to thc? fraudulent practices, Mr. Schurz procee ded upon a plan of his own; and the result has been that the thieves have beer caught and property to the value of foui or five hundred thousand dollars has beer recovered. His proceedings were privately conducted, and the thieves had no knowl -J r ?_x:i ii :.i. cage OI Ills purjKJM; uuin uivjr nciu miuin the grasp of the law. It is said thai he is daily in receipt of letters from th< offenders and their friends begging foi mercy, or for a compromise, but he wil insist upon the rights of the Govcrnmeni to all the timber seized, and not part witf it except upon the payment of its full value; and then he will make an examph of tbe|offenders, by such legal prosecution.5 as will stop this species of spoliation foi the future. The Democrats having >ecurcd the California Legislature gives auothei Democratic Senator in the place of Sargent, whose fcrn? expires in 1S79 j Brigham Young's estate is valued at ; : from *x to seven million dollars, though it will take some time to settle it up and ! I ascertain precisely what it is worth. In j i his reply to Ann Eliza's suit lor divorce j he swore that his monthly income would , not exceed six thousand dollars. He had already distributed a considerable amount of property among his children, and, as he wa? very punctilious in regard to his i affairs, it is probable that his will has been drawn to preclude if possible any legal complications. A clause in the instrument directed that be should be buried in a rosewood coffin three inches wider than his bod)', so that if he had a disposition to turn over lie might do so; be laid on a cotton mattress; that his j. body should be borne to the grave on a t bier, and he be buried in a stone vault, a stone slab to be placed over the top.
