WATCH'S Stfl'LY TO FT. MOTTE.
Editor Ornnyeburg Time*':
As 1 know yutir highest fi fty es arc j
to give a just and unbiased discus- j
siou for and against the fence law, I :
will ouee more ask your indulgence
to answer "Ft. -Motte's" false and
groundless conclusions which I will
prove to every reader of the Tints if
they will but ernst their vives over
these hasty lines.
The hugvo question I did hot want
to see brought into this discussion
though as "Ft Motte" has opened
the door l will search the deep r*5*
oess.es tjf the iunoriurtri that his clov

iiigto exclu de utid reject uis rights

We as iiouest, law-aid ling citizens

of the United States which guaran

were ivrencned IVoih the iron grasp of
the Badieals through their blindness
Ui j istiee, and won tu it not lie wise
the Deinocrats to profit thereby,
and Miscuiii an honest forth of g??v
c-i n neut, thai was handed down by
our foi'efa'.lioi-s, who fOught in the
IJevoimionarv war against oppres

b t/.a i- s. ' If we really desire i in mi
grants let us make a liiove in the
right direction ami you will soon see
t hem Hocking in b:t every boat. Let
evt i v real estate owner report to the
Secretary oft he Agricultural Society,
and enroll his name ami say how
ninny immigrants he can provide
g .o t cdmforiuijlc eottag.-s for, not as

to them at a reasonable price on good

welcomehand to this happy sunny
lau I of on is. Tliey will ttien come as
[ friends, only to be severed froth us
by deal h.
My opponent, "Ft. Motte," is very
considerate in thy welfnr?: 1 slwtnt be
ungenerous towards him?and Mil
tuitl to my rail a bamboo brill r tail
to fan the Fort M itte tiles aw.ty that
he may get a peep at lite on election

should fail to take Iiitil r?Wnv; I will
give Iii in a sail titi lily butrfUou briar

In conclusion, I will Say; if the
fence question is left to the veietVnh'd
will of the people, I ain willing to
abide its results; or when the coun
try is sei t hai by immigrants Hud the
la id is owned by them?/theft I will be
in for no fence system, but to place
this country politically iuvder the
en pita Iis a 1 anf opposed. Intellig
ence should fit Iii;' capital should
ncVcr rule a free' people, as wealth and
power combined rhak'cS demons of
men. I can leave the negro out of
this issue altogether and get three to
otto in favor of supporting our pre
sent fence system, many of whom me
heavy real estate owners, who are
governed by priMeipley not by inter

As to what ''Ft. Motte" says about
the old cows dying don't agitate the
uiiuds of the people, much, as they
have become used to it and prefer
bought manures to that of bbme in
dustry.
The advantages and disadvantages
of the fence question should be thor
oughly understood by every voter,
aiul what its elfccts might be in the
future. Let tis look well before we
leap, Und leave for our children a
free and untrummelcd country; Sup
pose the no fence system be adopted
for Orangeburg County, und Barn
well, ('oltetofr, T?dchland, Lexington
and ClVavtest'on Vjocut'ios refuse to

to the legislature, and had also beeu
ty?iXffit "of tee county court. His;
elevation, however, had made UUu
somewhat pompous, and he becnuVfc
very fond of using big words. On his
farm he had a large, mischievous ox,
called "Big Brititlle," which frequ
ently broke down, his neighbor's
fence, nud committed other depreda

in presence of some gentlemen who
bad staid with him over night, and
wft'rt were now on their way to town,
lietyiHed his overseer and said to
him: "Mr. Allen, I desire you to
impound "Big Briri'dla" in ordiVrth?t
1 may hear no more animadversions
of his eternal depredations." .. j..
Allen bowed and walked off, sore'v
puzzled to know what the Colonel
meant. So. after Colonel W. left for
town, he went to his wife and asked
her what Colonel W. meant by telling
him to "impound" the ox. "Why,"
said she, "the Colonel means to tell
you to put him in a pen."
Allen left to perform the feat, for it
was no inconsiderable one, as the
animal was very wild nud vicious,
and after a great deal of trouble nud
vexation, he succeeded.
"Well," said he, wiping the per
spiration from ht% brow and solilo
quizing, "this is Im^ttM'dlBg ,is it?
Now I'm dead sure, the old Colonel
will ask me if I have impounded Big
Biindlc, and I'll bet I'll puzzle him
as bad as he did me."
The next day the Colonel gave a
dinner party, and as he was not the
least aristocratic, Allen, the overseer,
sat down with t.i^e company. A her
the second or third glass was dis
cussed the Colonel turned to the
overseer and said:
I "Kb, Mr. Allen did you impound
I Big Briudle. sir?"
! 'A'll.'n s-tra;gl.t?:icd himself, nud
I looking around the company, said:
. . i*Y?w, 1 did, hut, Old Briudle pau
scended the impnniicl of the impound
and scatterlophisticated all over the
equanimty of the forest."
Tito company luir.st into an immod
ernte lit of laughter, while the Colo
nel's faco reddened with discom?turc.
"What do you mean by that, sir?"
said he.
"Why I mean, Colonel," said Allen,
"that old ?rineil?, being prognosti
cated with the idea of the eltohiry,
ripped and tu red, snorted and pawed
dirt,'jumped tliii fence, tuck to the
woods, and would not be impounded
no how."
This was too much. The company
roared again, in which the Colonel
was forced to join, and in tile midst
of the laughter, Allen left the table,
saying to himself as he went, "reckon
the Coiouol won't ask ihr to impound
any more oxen."

the steal of the "Star Route" group

$2.000.000 in a single year. The
fraud was discovered by Post Master
General .Tames -who took up the in
vestigation , wher.e .the Blackburn

$3,000.000 was consumed on 93 routes
by favored.contractors, while the re7,

with the other $3,000,000. It was
