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.

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

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

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.

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

been drawn to preclude if possible any
legal complications. A clause in the instrument
