I
I have given the earliest attention which
my other duties would allow To the ques-
/ tiOn which the letter of yourself and Hon
I G. W. Shackleford. OF the 9Th inst. pro-
( pounds tor my consideration. and my opin-
4 ion in respect 70 the compensation 10 .Nt
allowed TO the Sheriff. unuer tire facts stated,
/ l. briefly as follows:
| I. The Sheriff. for his services or those OF
deputy, in attending the meetings OF the
/ Board OF Supervisors. is entitled TO receive
two dollars per day while the Board shall
be in session. Revised Code. page 49, Art.
10. 10. page l46.
,. For executing the orders. process. &c.
of certain courts mentioned in the stptutr.
including the Board of Police. NOV super
visors) he shall receive for each service one
dollar aud fifty cents. ID. lac.
B. The Board may make 10 the Sheriff "for
other services" that H. services other than
those above named-an allowance not eX-
ceeding fifty dollars, to be paid ont Of the
county Treasury. Id. 4l5. Art. 10.
The first two of these provisions are plain
and peremptory. AID the third. though
equally plain, Is not peremptoTy bat entirely
discretionary with the Board, who are to
judge from the kind and extent OF 1.-THE other
services required of him - first. whether he
shall be allo ed anything. and secondly il
anything. how much-proyided. in all cases
that IL shall not exceed huy dollars for any
one year.
l think the object Of the Legislature WAS
to make the compensation of the sheriff
commensurate with the character anu
amount OF services rendered. not TOO much
on the Que hand. nor too little on the other
and. estimating the labor and responsibility
Of serving "A commission on an oVerseer ola
road within given time. and under certain
penalty for neglect or failure To serve it. as
equiv alent TO similar services in the Cir.
cult Court" he Is allowed the same fees Bur
as ''other services" might be REQUIRED o.
him." the nature and value OF which could
not be always anticipated, the compensation
for such services was left entir.ly 10 the
option and discretion OF the Board by whom
the same might be required, for whom the
same should be rendered and who therefore
would Toe better qualified than the Legisla-
ture could be. 10 judge of the amount OF
compensation justly due-limiting this dis
erection, however, 10 the maximum sum
already stated.
l am therefore of opinion that Sheriff.
should receive under the present law the
same compensation for serving oyerseers of
roads with commissions as for executing
any other order or process OF the Board OF
Supervisors or the process of the Circuit
Court.
Very respectfully,
Your obedieut servant.

From the Merldlan Mercnry


He has not yet appointed his staff Off
GERS, nor issued commission to any mil
tia officer whatever But it was his in
tention to attend to that duty now. From
a remark which fell from the Governor,
we judge that there may be some doubt
whether the volunteer companies made
up recently will be received. But there
will be an opportunity for joining volun-
teer companies. Ii il the intention Of the
Governor TO put a negro on his staff, and
through him TO control the negro element
in the militia system, which he intends 70
keep separate from the white lie ex-
pressed an opinion that there will be no
special need for bringing any portion Of
the militia into active service, and he
does not expect to do it.

Good and bad Farm stock.

There is no fact in agriculture more
fully established than that it will not pay
to keep poor stock, when it is possible tC
secure that of better quality. 4 few
years since the rage for Durham, Alder
ney, Devon and other breeds of cattle
prevailed very extensively throughout the
country. Fabulous prices were paid fol
animals of these breeds, and there APP
peared to be fair prospect of something
like reform in the matter of stock rails
ing. Like so many other improvement:
in agriculture, this spirit of improvement
has subsidized, and we find our farmer;
relapsed into their former apathy. Should
this be? The cost ofkeeping an inferior
cow is precisely the same as that of a bet
ter one. A good horse will always com
mand better price in the market, or il
more valuable to its owner for his OWL
purpose than a poor one. The cost OF
keeping is the same. Why not, then,
raise the best horses? There are breeds
of swine that grow rapidly and fatten
upon much less food, and in shorter
time than Others. Why not procure
these improved kinds? The same may
be said Of sheep, poultry, and, in fact, ey-
cry kind of farm stock, and yet we find
thousands of farmers, in the face of these
incontrovertible facts arraying themselves
in steady hostility to all movements hav-
ing for their object the improvement of
domestic farm animals. They cling to
inferior stock with pertinacity that is
surprising. In many cases the secret OF
the matter is their unwillingness to make
the first investment. Were it possible to
overcome the indisposition to make the
first outlay, there would be room for in
diligence of the hope that our farm stock
generally would improve in character
This viii be accomplished only when
farmers realize fully the fact that it does
not pay to keep poor stock.-Journal OF
the Farm.

10 he Carried by the Radically
Assassi q atiOns AdVised--
Murders by Negroes

One of the most damning plots which
ever dlsgraeed the history of Christian
country has been unearthed In South
Carolina. The telegraph brings the in
| tellgence that disturbances have broken
out In various parts of that State. and
that several negroes have been killed. -
These outbreaks are charged upon the
Radical party. 1t is stated that the oc-
currences are part of prearranged
plan of the radical leagues to create ex-
element for political purposes. This is
denied by the Radicals But now
comes the proof. The Augusta Consti-
tutiOnal of the goth says the following
confidential circular was recently picked
up in front of the Central hotel at Union
Court House, South Carolina, where it
had, in all probability, according to the
evidence adduced, been dropped by the
radical leaders in that section. The orr
ginal is with the Secretary Of the execu-
tive committee of the Union Reform par
ty, and can be seen at his effice. The
facts connected with its being found are
supported by afidavits, which also can be
seen at the executive committee rooms:
CONFIDENTIAL CIRCULAR
COMRADES: The radical cause is in
danger. The reform party is gaining
rapidly. Our party is being divided in
different sections, nothing but tremen-
dous effort, with the whole radical party
united as one man, can save the party
from defeat. We must gain the cleo
lions this fall, or our party is irrevocably
annlhilated. We must save our cause,
although we may be called upon to sacri-
fee the lives of some of our best men to
carry the point Remember Randolph.
the martyr of his own party; it was his
foul murder being charged to the Demo
Gratis that saved the state to Gen. Scott,
two years ago. We must win again if
we have to sacrifice the lives of score of
our prominent leaders. The question
naturally presents itself as to how we
shall determine who to offer up. /
know of no better plan than this. Let
all the leagues in each county appoint
five delegates from each league, to meet
at some central point in the county, and
let it be the duty of these delegates to
select one prominent colored man of the
party in the county for special and i'm
pOrtdnt purpose, to be made known to
him by the Governor at the proper time.
Let the name of each man thus selected
be reported to the Governor, whose duty
it shall be to take the necessary steps,
through the eonstabulary force to have
him put to death in some secret place,
and let the crime be charged to the re-
form party. This plan will unite the
negroes for the radicals, and the day will
be ours. This plan will be made known
to our prominent white members of the
Union League party in each county, and
it is expected that the greatest caution
and secrecy will be observed, and that
the plan meets the entire APPROVAL of the
secret council, and is signed by the mi
tials of the committee appointed to write
this circular. n. G.. p.

Base Ball Notes.

The famous ~Red Stoekingn nine from Cincinnati
will arrive here to-day and Will play the Mutuas at
the Union grounds tomorrow, should the weather
be favorable. This game Will undoubtedly attract
an immense crowd, and it Will In all probability be
the only game the "Red Legs" win play in this
vicinity that viii be very largely attended.
The visitors in proposing the games here
dictated terms to which the Clubs in and
around New York were obliged to accede
or be cried down as being afraid to meet
The amalgamaed nine from ''Out West" The lovers
of the game, therefore, will pay the doubled fee at
the Union grounds in Williamsburg, because there
Is but little extra expense to be incurred in getting
to those grounds and they are not so far away as to
spoil much extra time in going to and from. The
novelty attaching TO the visit and playing Of the lads
OF the "Sanguinary Hose' will pass away with their
first game; and should they defeat the Mutuais very
badly there will be still greater lack OF interest.
Should the latter, however play against them as
they did last year. making the finest game On record
there may he curiosity enough aroused to see how
badly they will whip the other clubs they will plhy
witii-the Unions, EcKfords and Stars.
The Mutuals have been practising quite lively dur
ing the past week, and were getting into good trim.
Pearce, the sold stand by'' of the Atlantics, has
been growied out OF the nine and goes toWashngton
where IL is to be hoped he will have captain to deal
with that will not grOw at him publicly on the field
should he unavOidably miss ball.
