Governor Whyte.

If it is the painful duty of the journalist
to speak in terms of condemnation of pub
lie men, when they fail to come up to the
full measure of a proper discharge of the
of their position, it is like
wise his privilege to commend him when,
under trying circumstances, the public ser
want faithfully and fearlessly meets these
responsibilities. When Gov. Whyte par
doned Heslin, We thought he had been
guilty of reckless abuse of the pardoning
power. and we so said plainly, and We see
now no reason to change the opinion then
expressed. In his refusal to pardon the
two miserable murderers-McCotter and
Davis-who expiated the penalty of their
crimes on Friday last, We recognize the
action of wise and fearless judgment,
which shrunk from no responsibility
And the confessions of these men justifes
the seeming harshness Of refusing even a
short respite to them. We appreciate, We
think, as fully as a man can, who has not
been vested with this power, the response
bilities surrounding the possession of the
pardoning prerogative-the diffidence OF
reliance in ones own judgment-the diff
Guilty which a sympathetic nature feels in
resisting appeals for mercy, when to err is
to err on the side Of mercy-all this and
more, we appreciate. Hence we say, that
when man in the discharge of his public
duty passes safely through this trying or
deal, he is worthy of all praise. In both OF
these cases every appeal and consideration
possible was urged upon the Governor
He listened patiently, Investigated and
discharged his duty faithfully; and the
outraged laws of man and God have been
indicated. Fer having under such try
ing circumstances discharged his duty we
desire to commend Gov. Whyte. We have
not the vanity to suppose that he cares for
our praise or censure; but we say this
much, because we wish to show to our
readers that if we were prompt to hold up
this public servant to their condemnation
whenswe believed he had been careless in
the discharge of his trust, we now are
equally prompt to present him for their
admiration, and invite them to say with
us, "Well done thou good and faithful
servant"

Fences.

IF there is one question more than an
ether which calls for the intelligent and
united action of our farmers, it is the pres
ent law relating to- fencing; or, rather, to
cattle running at large. We have among
our local laws the following section:
mo person shall distrain any horse, hog
or other beast, damage .feasant upon any
waste or unenclosed land in Charles coun-
ty."
The construction of this statute is plain.
If it had only said 'waste" land, then it
would simply have meant that cattle
should not have been distrained for tres
passing on uncultivated land, or what is
usually but improperly called the ''com-
mons'-for in this county the land all be-
longs to individuals and therefore cannot
be common. But when the statute goes on
and says ''unenclosed land" it evidently
is speaking of something in contradistinc-
ton to waste" land, and therefore in
cludes pasture or cultivated land, if unen-
closed. So that the only land in this
county, on which cattle ''doing damage"
in the language of the law, can be distrain-
ed, is land which is enclosed. Let us pause
here and ask is this just? Is it right, be
cause we do not choose or are not able to
enclose every acre of our land, that the
cattle of our neighbor may trespass on it,
adoing damage" and we be remediless 2
Is not this wrong without remedy-a
thing which law and equity both abhor 2
By depriviag man of his common law
right of distraining for trespass this statute
virtually compels him to feed his neigh
boris stock, and to that extent takes pri-
vate property for public use without COM
pensation- Is this right9 Is it just2 1t
may not be violation of the letter Of the
law, but it clearly is in conflict with its
spirit.
But let us return to our statute We
have seen that the only land exempt from
tribute towards supporting the cattle of
the public is "enclosed' land. In other
words. the law of Charles county is that
cattle have Alright to go wherever they are
not prevented by fencing. The land-hoki-
er must fence his neighbours cattle out, for
the neighbor is not obliged to fence them
IN. If our neighbors' cattle can get their

living off of US our neighbor is under no
obligation to prevent them; under the law
we are the only one on whom there is any
obligation at all. The maxim of the law,
"that you shall so use what is your own as
not to injure another" evidently does not
apply to Charles county. In short, the
owner of land has no rights which the
owner of cattle-"or beasts" as the statute
terms them-is bound to respect.
Now, with this light before us, let us
see what is the meaning of the word 'un-
enclosed" used in the statute. We have
seen that the right of the cattle-owner to
the support Of his beasts is paramount to
the right Of the full enjoyment of his pre-
misses by the landowner, and that the lat
ter is only entitled to the subordinate en-
joyment of any right at all in his own land
when he can deprive the other of its use
by enclosure Now, therefore, must not
this enclosure be full, absolute and tho
rough in order to shut out these paramount
rights of the king Of the ''beastsa" OF
|course-because the land owner must fence
the beasts out. If he does not do this sue
cessfully, his land is clearly ''unenclosed'
and the cattle have a right to go there
So that the only certain criterion as to
whether land is enclosed or uneuclosed is
whether it does or does not keep out the
mighty beasts. The cattle have right to
march day and night around your enclo-
sure, to examine and try every panel and
rail, and if any one of them should be de
fective, or. in the language of the country
not strong enough to turn stock" they
have right to enter, andpway goes your
crop. To this absurdity We say does this
statute go. But if We are wrong in this
reductio ad a6surdum, no one will deny
that, under our statute, the landowner is
bound, in order to enjoy his land to its
full extent, to fence his neighbor's stock
out. The result is that every acre of land
put under cultivation has to be enclosed
by strong substantial fence, often erect
ed at an expense almost equal to the value
of the land.
The effects Of such laws are most disas-
trous to the farming interests in every as
pect in which they can be presented. They
neither benefit the tiller of the soil nor
any other toiling member of the human
family. 1t is estimated by careful stats
ticians, who have made the matter one OF
careful examination, that the amount OF
capital invested in fences in the United
States is larger than the national debt,
with all the State debts piled on top of it.
And yet it is dead capital productive OF
no interest, no income; but on the contra
~, every year demanding and absolutely
requiring further capital to be added in
order to save from utter annihilation every
vestige of what has already been sunken.
Thus every year this cormorant is consum-
ing'a large per centage of the profits OF
farming, never satiated, but always de
handing more. And all for what purposel

person may be allowed to quasi own few
