JOHN A. HINNANT,
CORNELIUS n. /EAVS,
Governor Hampton Ias been suf
fering from the effeets of the attack
of pneumonia he experienced in New
York, and has in consequenco left for
the Virginia Springs to r6cuperato.
It is to ba hoped his strength wlll
be entirely restored.
Packard's wife has presented him
with twins, which circumstance
enables an exchange to mako tho
following fine point :
Packard is swung between the
horns of a dilemma. If ho reports
his twins to the Recordor of Births
at Now Orleans, the Nicholls gov
ernment would bo recognized. If
lie should fail to do so, ho renders
himself liable to the penalties iu
posed by law. The time for a de
cisiol has come. In either caso he
should write up the caso for the
North American Review.
A Charleston correspondent of the
Now York Sun has created some
excitement by charging that the in
vestigating committee is wsvhitowashi
ing Denocrats. The imeimibers of
the committee p)ronounce the charge
uitterly false, and say that not the
least suspicion has attached to any
Detnocrat. J'rank Mosos, who was
charged -in tho -sam letter with
having stdlen iino hundred thous
and dollars, domands that his accu
sor be brought-beforo the committee.

Liberia.
A number of Radical'leaderis are
much disgusted with the restlt 'of
.the fence election, and affirm 'hait
Liberia is the only place where they
can have a living chanco. We are
~free to declare that if their sole aim
-in life is to draw the race line, and
'to pit the black man against the
~white, they are butting their heads
against a stone wall here, and their
appropriato'homoe is Liberia, or some
~hottor localitty. .In Liberia, the
sun scorches 'The white man and the
malaria shakes him to death. In
Liberia a white man is disfranchised.
What a glorious country that muBt
be for the wvhite-man-haters, where
a white man is not allowed to vote.
No fence 'law cists in Liberia.
~Stock are alHowe'd to myeg~ 4L 'will
through the impenotrable jimngles
of Ethiopia, and to be torn 'limb
from limb by the rambling lion, or
"swallowed whole by thn festive
'naco'naa -orthe s.portive boa con
- strictor. '.Or'if-tiis prospedt please
'not, the cattle can be driven out,
'of mornings, on the broad expanse
o6f the .deaei-t of Sahara, u'hero 'the'
sand is forky thousand feet deep,
'where never a drop of rain falls in
a hundred years, nor a spoonful of
water is seen for thousands of
miles. This is just the land for
those who only want~ to know whlat
-the white man wants, in order that
~they may vote .against him. It is
the only' place on the globe Where
they uil.thrive. If they want to
stay here, let' them come wvith the
whites. If they areo determined to
hate us, let them buy a ship and set
ail 'for3Liberia .with the firat pro
pering breeze.
The Pence Law.
Elections were held on the 15th
instant in nine out of the thirteen
.townships ;to -decide whether the
mnew tense -law hall 'be adlqpted.
We are grtifled that4~hoebhage has~
been made in six of 4he niae. This
will give amnple 'opportunity to
prove the beneficial ^rite of the
change. Thie.old law was enacted
about two hunma'd ars., a
should long since have becomo
obsolete, wherever agriculture has
becomo the staple pursuit of the
peopl . By it the entire crops of
the land were placed in jcopardy by
a coip ratively insignificant num
bor of stock, and every yearl not
withstanding uthe most careful pro
cautiona, worthless cattle destroyed
far more than their value by incur
sions into neighboring fields. Be
sides this, the courts havo been
burdened with miserablo cases of
malicious misc hief, arising from
this cause, and many neighborhoods
have been embroiled in quarrels in
Colsewenllce.
We' regret that some few white
people voted against the change, for
they should have seen that the
alteration of the fenco law would
appreciate the valuo of land, largely
increase the crops of small grain
and broadstuffs, and improve both
farming and stock raising. They
should also have recognized theo
broad princlple of right that no man
should have tife privilege of tres
passing on his neighbor's property,
or using what belongs to his neigh
bor for himself. We are glad that
a mnler of colored people, especi
ally in township 4, voted for their
own interests and that of the whole
people. These in most cases were
the well-to-do, industrious colored
mien, who owned property and saw
what danmige had been done them
in the past, and who do not suffer
(emagogucs to array them on the
color line. They are good and safe
citizens.
But the fact is patent that, gener,
ally speaking, the masses of the
blacks in the county are thoroughly
banded together against the white
man, and will move heaven and
carth to defeat him. They took
this election, that was purely non
plitical, mado a party measure of
it, canvassed over it, drew the race
line over it, and voted solidly to
defeat it. Scores who never owned
a cow or hog in their lives, nor ev,r
will, shut their eyes io the law
which gives all laborers a most
.favorable chanco of keeping stock,
and marched solidly to tie polls to
vote against the land owner and the
white man. At Jackson's Creek, we
arp informed, they went oi' exulting
-from the-polls, sayir-g, "If lhe white
muan wants the fence law we don't
wvant it: if he doesn't want it we do."
Many individual instances of the
same sort are reportco1 elsewhmere.
This is thme, same old spirit they
imaniifested in the heydafy of their
power, wvhen they ran riot over
deconey, tihe same spirit which they
will evine as a mass, if the wvhites
should ever disorganize aga in.
With them it was 1no que.stionl Of
fence or 1no fence, but simply the
insane idea of thrashing out the
white man, and reorganizing and
solidifying their rotten old Radical
party W e rejoice that they were
beaten in six of tile nine townishiipr,
and tihat in D)ecember they will be
beaten.in the rest. They must un.
.derstLand, once for all, that the
white man intends to rule this
country and is going to (10 it. if
-they chooso. to come to him, they
wiil be welcomed. But he never
agarn will go to them. He .is .not
going to legishatto againist thmem, but
lhe initenids that lhe shall direct the
legislation for all. The election of
Hampton, in the very teeth of the
colored Radicals, reduced their taxes
and gave them the living chanco.
.they nev'er had be(fore. Just so the
alteration in -tile fene law will help
them,.though they are too ign,oranit
or too vicious to bolicy,o it. They
mst be content hlereafter' to leave
law-maiking to the white 1)eop)1,
unless they wish to yield them a
hearty co-oper'ation.
