Tho Cost Of Fences.

In the report of the Agricultural
Department for la7 is an article on
the cost OF fences in the United S,atos.
The cost of the fonces in South Caro-
lima is estimated at $2l, ,l36,S96, and
the cost Of annual repairs at ST..
05G,844!
Remarking upon tho entire cost in
the United States, it concludes, s'This
exhibit makes the cost of fen,os
nearly equal to the total amount of
the national debt on which interest
is paid, aud about the same rs the
estimated value uf all the farm nni-
mails in tho United States. For
every dollar invested in live stock,
another dollar is rcqui.ed for tho
| construction of dofences to resist their
attacks on farm production"
This comparison is still moro as
tonishiDg when confined to South
Carolina. In this State oil the hor-
ses, mules, asses, cows, BULLS, calves,
sheep and hogs are worth only
$l2,443,5l0, or little over onc.haU
the value of the fences and one years
cost of repairs
How long will we be guilty of tho
stupcndous folly of requiring far
mcrs to fence out took instead Of in
curing the comparatively slight ex-
penso Of fencing them IN.

The Young Mons Republican PARTY

Tho Young Mons Republican Party
Our last issue contained oommu-
nication asking information in regard
to call publish ID in tho Union
Herald for the rcassembling of the
Young Mems Republican Party
Our friend met our appreciation in
his views.
'fhe young men in every State and
every nation comprise an important
element Of the population. They
have youth, activity, energy and en-
thusiasm. They form tho armies of
the world, and the bone and sinow of
peaceful pursuits. 1t is therefore
highly proper that they should have
q voico in tho government.
In every State in which there are
organized parties, tho young men
have their clubs, and perform most
of tho labors required in the canvass.
The success of tho party depends
greatly on tho number of "youug
mems clubs" working for it.
1t is highly proper that in South
Carolina thoro should DO a young
mems party. Tho old Conservatives
are tinctured with Democracy, and
identified with obsolete issues. The
old Republicans, or old leaders OF
Republicanism arc tainted with cor.
rnption and identified with villainy.
There can bo no compromise between
these classes. But from the ashes of
tho old Democracy, and tho old Rad
icalism, nov party may spring up,
taking from tho one, honesty, and
from tho other, the advanced ideas
Of tho platform as it is preached, not
practiced. This compromise can be
effected by tho young men Of the
State, who have been taught by
experience sinco tho war. Wo there.

New York Times, May 27.1

When the civil rights bill reached
q vote in the Senate on Saturday
morning, after continuous debate of
twenty hours, twenty.ninc membcrs
voted for it, and seven wcrc paired
in its favor, making thirty-six in all.
Thus, the bill passed one branch of
tho National Legislature by mipori.
ty vote, for it lacked two votes of n
maajority Of the whole Senate. Tho
passage of the bill in the Senate
cannot be considered as IN authori.
tativo declaration Of the purpose of
the Republican party. The meas
ure has yot to be discussed in the
IL ouse, and We hope that it will be
thoroughly discussed, without undue
ogard to tho votes Of tho negroes.
Nobody would think for u moment
of making such law as the ono now
proposed fortho benefit of the Irish or
German immigrant, aud it is not sim
gular that the popular sense of jus.
tice, which is always in advance of
that of legislators, should be already
asking why tho negro should be thus
especially favored. If it is intended
to break down social prcjudiccs it
will prove futile, for these arc and
hav" ever been beyond tho reach of
legal cnactmcnts. 1t it is designed
to give the negroes rights which arc
not accorded TO other classes of 1iti-
zens it will be cquallya dead letter,
for tho people will not tolerate any
distinctions in tho law for or against
any class. This bill is, in fact, u dis.
tinction against all classes except the
the negroes, and as such it is as sure
TO meet with worry general opposition.
If 1T Is accepted ns Republican
measure tho party is sure to suffer
from it. This fact WAS very clearly
recognized during tho lifetime Of
Senator Sumner, and wo do not 500
that his death has made any differ
cnce in tho case.
lthas been urged that this bill is
required to complete the policy of
reconstruction upon which the Repub-
lican party entered at the close of the
rebellion. But tho policy contem-
platci nothing more than tho politi-
cal cnfranchisomcnt OF tho blacks,
and this was secured by tho oonstitu-
tional amendments. 1t was no part of
tho Republican purpose to forco
mixed schools upon the people, or to
confer upon any class tho privileges
specially accorded to tho negroes by
this bill. Tho great question is
whether su> law as this is neces-
sary to protect the blacks in any Of
their material rights. That point
was almost entirely overlooked by
both sides in the Senate, but We hope
it will be given tho weight it deserves
IN tho House, where General Butler
has already brought himself forward
as tho especial champion of the bill.
The latter fact is in itself sufficient
proof that tho measure is ono which
ought to be very carefully scrutinizcd
boforo it is allowed to become part of
the laws of tho land.

The PilIase Of South Carolina.

1t is moro than probable that the
vile gang of thieves which has been
running the State of South Carroll
M will Gro long ruin themselves
vanish from tho sccno Of thoir infa-
nous triumphs, and mako room for
decent pooplc. The present State
Government has for some time been
much embarrassed for funds. The
doughty Governor has now and then
found it difficult, it is said, TO procure
from tho tradcsmcn Of Columbia
those trivial articles which are yet all
important to the maintenance of q
household, without first showing the
color of his grcenbacks. Money has
not rnstcd 80 alluringly as Of old in
ears Of native and imported rascals,
for the worry good reason that there
has been none to rustic. Tho era Of
princely jobbery and colossal corrup
tion is about over in South Caro-
lima, because there is SO very little
left to steal. The beginning of tho
end is at hand and the Governor who
had tho hardihood to forge pay cor.
tllicatcs to the amount Of moro than
three quarters ofa million dollars is
now very much inconveniencod by u
charge Of grand larceny in which he
is seriously implicated, and which
has been brought by n Republican
jury. The thieviSh hands arc now in
nervous apprehension of close &C.

Cumulative Voting.

The pal crs of the State are discus.
sing *he question Of minority repre-
scntation rs tecurcd by cumulative
voting. The Union, the News and
Courier and the Phoenix are in favor
Of it. So are we. We would endeuvor
for the LcLcfit of tLose persons who
arc not acquainted with the particu-
lara of tho system, to speak in few
words Of its prominent points.
At present, in Fairfield, there are
three County Con- missioncrs, at every
election u voter tn, II can cast his bal.
lot for three men. But should he
wish to vote for only one, he cannot
cast but one for him, thus losing the
other two votes. by tho system Of
cumulative voting, each citizen would
have three votes for Commissi toner's.
lie could however cast all three for
tho same candidate, or give one can-
didatc two votes, and the other, one
The result would be that the III inori.
ty could combine upon one man
and elect him.
In Fairfield there are, say two
thousand republicans and one thous-
sand conservatives. Zach having
three votes for Com missioners, there
would be 5000 Republicans, and 5000
Conservative votes. The Conservu-
tives can nominate one man and give
him tho solid vote of three thousand.
Tho Rorublioans could give their
three candidates only 2, 900 each and
thus one would be defeated. The
board would stand two Republi.
cans and one Con crvative. Tns re.
suit of this would be the Republicans
would nominate two mem bers to the
Legislature and two mmissioncrs
and tho Conservatives one of each.
While the litter would be benefited
in Fairfield, tle Republicans would
gain in tho conservative Counties
such as Spartnnburg and Greenville,
whore they now arc not represented.
The defect i" tho system 10 that it

and in the Board Of County Commits.
sioners. The State officers, tho Soma.
tor, Judge Of Probate, Sheriff, Clerk
of Cours and School Commissioner
would still DO elected by a majority
for votes cannot DO exchanged among
these officers.
This then is very small boon to
ask Of the dominant party. They,
should also remember that times will
change. Shortly after the war, every
Southern State was Radical. Now,
only two can DC counted upon, and in
these even, Radicalism is not as live
ly rs it once was. The Conservatives
may again get into power, and thon
WOO to the politicians who refused US
this small favor. The Radicals in
Gergia ruled with a rod Of iron as
long as they could. But thoy lost
their grip, and arc now just whore
the Conservatives once wore in the
miro. Had they given tho Consorva.
tives a change they might have ex-
peotod somo favor themselves. But
they fought to the ond, aud are now
hopolessly down.
Tho Conservatives will in o
few years control South Carolina. If
the oolorcd people arc wiso they will
show the whites some consideration

Editorial Notes,


sidered President Grants organ,
scathes the Radical government in
unmeasured terms, and extends
threats of what will be done if re.
form bo not inaugurated. Straws
show which way tho wind blows
The North is becoming disgusted with
tho experiment of reconstruction.
The Conservatives Of Virginia
have gained rousing Victories in their
municipal elections, carrying all tho
larger towns except Lynchburg. 1t
will be remembered that Gov. Kemp
or vetoed bill intended to legislate
Petersburg out Of tho control of the
Radicals who had governed it since
tho war. At the last election the CON-
servatives carried tho day by three
hundred majority. This is fair and
square victory, much better than the
other would havo been. Virginia
under intelligent rule is fast becom
ing the leading Southern State.
North Carolina is all agog on tho
subject Of the State election which
will soon to held. Independent
Conservative candidates are as thick
as blackberrics. The RAIDS stick TO-.
gcther. Old Rip Van Winkle had
better bestir horself or she will re-
lapse into Radical hands.
Oregon has gone Democratic by
1000 majority. Five years .go she
was Radical. The Republicans arc
daily losing ground. Last year
Ohio elected democratic governor,
the first time in twenty years, and
reelected democratic Senator.
Minnesota went democratic, Indiana
elected q dem ocratic governor, Cali.
fornia elected democratic, and
liberal republican Senator, Oregon
elected a grange senator, New
Hampshire was wrested from the
radicals, and Connecticut has ousted
a radical senator, electing a true
blue democrat, the first since 1856.
Virginia and Texas each upset
Radical Senator as did North Carroll
ma. In tho Western Statos, the In.
dependents are breaking down old
party lines and knocking tho Radi-
cal party to pieces. This will be an
cventful year, q new House, and
twenty six Senators to be elected.
The signs of the times all point TO
Radical dissolution. And then as
soon as Republicanism is dead and the
contest turns upon tho living issues
Of tho day, the South will be freed
from bondage.
The Taxpayers Convention was
magnificent success. Although our
delegates wero snubbed by Grant
they were warmly received by every
one else. Their tale has reached
tho car of the Void. The abuse
poured by Northern Journals, ad.
ministration and opposition, upon
these carpc..bng.scallaw govern
mcnts has never been cqualed in
bitterness. 1t has forced the party
now to reform to the extent of in.
dieting the Governor, convioting sew
eral minor officials, aud indicting
many more. All South Carolina
needed was the car of the North.
She has it, and if her honest people
act wisely, showing no prejudice nor
narrowness OF mind, they will have
reform.
The garrison at Yorkville invited
the Citizens ofthat place to assist
them in decorating tho graves of the
deceased soldiers Of both the blue
and the gray. The citizens accepted
tho invitation and the ceremonies
were very impressive. This looks
like better times. Tho sections
must lose their prejudices before tho
Country can again be happy.
