CosT OF FENCEs.-Taking the returns of the
National Agricultural Department as our guide,
We find some curious items with regard to
fences and their cost. From these returns it
would seem that the cost of our fences is about
the same as the amount of our interest bearing
national debt; that for each one hundred dol
lars invested in live stock, we invest another
hundred in fences, either to keep them in or
out. The estimated annual cost of repairs,
with interest upon capital invested in the fences
is estimated at 5000, 600. In Pennsylvania
the returns indicate that each hundred acres of
enclosed land has an average of 955 rods of
fence, at cost of S1.2O per rod, or 81, 146.-
This it must be remembered, is only an aver
age, and that in many portions of the State the
amount is much greater The cost per rod
varies from Y cents in Florida to 50 20 in Rhode
Island. The amount to each 100 acres varies
from 400 rods in Minnesota Nevada and Lou
isiana, to 1000 in Rhode Island. In Pennsyl-
vania it woa!d seem that Of the fences 81 per
cent. were "Virginia" worm fence, II post and
rail, II of board, and per cent. of "other
kinds" In the same State "a per cent. of the
openings are closed by gates, and 76 per cent.
by bars, and the average cost of the former is
$4.55. The returns state "The average pro
portion Of bars in the whole country is about
So per cent, of gaps 43-leaving per cent. of
openings for slip gaps, or other modes OF en- .
trance" The report very truly says with re-
gard to the sum total of the cost of fences: "Ex-
pertinent has proven that at least half this ex-
material for the careful consideration of farm
ers.-Countay Gentleman.

RED REPUBLICANS. New YoRK.
September "A letter from Rome
says: 1.-The revolution now desires to
set up the Red Republicans and the
Commune, and to play in Rome the
pranks which it played in Paris, and
become bold enough to summon Cen
gress to be held at Ferrara. On the
I'd of August there was a sort of Con-
gress, held at villa near Rimine, and
at this were assembled twenty-eight
leaders of the revolution, from all parts
of the Peninsula. The Government
marched body of troops to the villa,
surrounded it, and arrested twenty
eight Reds. They were searched, and
from papers found upon them and from
other information, the Government OBJ
tanned a list of over 200 clubs of Reds
and Internationalist in the provinces
of Revenna, Acona Bologna and Ferra-
ra. These clubs were all closed with
in the next few days, their papers we've
seized, and some Of their members
were arrested. On the 9th and 10th.
acting upon information obtained from
the papers taken at Rimipi, the Gov
eminent arrested three of the Inter-
nationalists chiefs at Forli, and thirteen
at Florence"

An Evident Conspiracy to lntim.
1date the Negroes.

WASHINGTON, D. G. August 81
Pathetic accounts of the condition sf
affairs In the Southern States continue
to arrive, and committees from various
sections of the South are now on their
way to Long Branch, to bring ths
facts to the attention Of the President
Two more Congressman arrived to-day
Senator Spencer and Representative
Hayes Of Alabama, and their accounts
of the outrages are worse than any yet
reported. Both of these gentlemen
saw the Attorney General and urged
him to immediate action. Mr.. Hayes,
a Southern man and General IN the
rebel army, is reported as saying that
if his election were to occur tomorrow
he would be beaten, although he was
elected to the present Congress by oyer
1000 majority. He says the negroes
are in a perfect panic, and are 10 hour
ly fear of their lives. Many of them
are praying for slavery to be restored.
He says he is Stunned by the white
people on account Of his vote the Civil
Rights bill, and even the negroes are
afraid to have any intercourse with
him. Even his old friends cut him
in the streets. He says that near his
place the negroes had quietly assembled
to hold a caucus for choosing delegates
and that though their proceedings
were of quiet and peaceable character
yet large body of armed horsemen
rode up to the building, masked, and
fired their guns and pistols through
the windows and doors, killing ten men
and breaking up the caucus, and then
quickly rode away. Senator Spencer
also reported many serious cases. Sen
ator Patterson also called and brought
forward similar condition of affairs
in South Carolina; and Secretary
Bristow, who also soughA a converse
ton with the Attorney-G General, said
that be was in receipt of letters and
dispatches from people who could not
misrepresent affairs, and he was salts
fed that there had never been such an
example of outrage, abuse and persecu-
tion in Kentucky as at present. All
these gentlemen, including the Attor-
ney-General, are going to Long Branch
to see the President, unless he decides
to return at once. A number Of men
from Louisiana are also here with about
the same story. The accounts from all
parts seem to confirm the theory tSat
an organization has been formed to Oh
pose and intimidate the negroea<
What is to be done or what can be
done by the Government, is a serions
question. The Federal forces have no
authority to enfore obedience to the
laws except in a lawful manner. If
troops are needed to suppress internal
violence they must be called for by the
Governor of the State, or the Presi-
dent; but in no State has this been
done. It would seem that what II
necessary now is an act to enforce the
enforcement act.

to-day .sent the following order by
telegraph to Brigradier General Alfred
Il. Terry, Of St. Paul, Minn,: "Should
the companies now organizing at Sioux
City and Yankton trespass on the
Sioux Indian reservation you are here
by directed to use the force at your
command to burn the wagon trains,
destroy the outfit, and arrest the lead
ers, con6ning them at the nearest
military post in the Indian country.
Should they succeed in reaching the
interior you are directed to send such
force of cavalry in pursuit as will
accomplish the purpose above named.
Should Congress open up the coun-
try for settlement by extinguishing the
treaty rights of the Indians, under
signed will give a cordial support to
the settlement of the Black Hills. A
duplicate Of these instructions has
been sent to General Ord, command

]ect to all the disadvantages resulting from
such condition of things the agricultural
Interests should be compelled to meet no
other obstacles than those imposed by the
lnexorable laws of trade. Is should be af
forded cheap, speedy and convenient means

Z. The official action of Hon. G.. W.
Hazelton, our present representative in Con-
gress having been in concord with the prin
ciples here announced, meets our hearty ap-
proval.
The name Of Hon L. B. Caswell
was presented by Hon N. S. Green
and received second from Gen. G. R.
Gill, of Dane, whereupon Hon. LII.
Breese, Of Columbia, moved that the
nomination of Mr.. Caswell be made by
acclamation, which was carried by a
hearty aye, amid much-enthusiasm. A
committee Of three was appointed to
wait on Mr.. Caswell and inform him
of his nomination, Mr.. Caswell ap-
peared before the convention and spoke
as follows:
Mr.. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THE
CONVENTION: tender you my most earnest
thanks for the nomination. It is all the
more gratifying that it comes by acclama-
ton. | accept this nomination, however,
with much dIstrust in my ability. Ipledge
you that whatever energy or strength l
may have, it shall be most faithfully de-
voted to the duties of the Office l. would
be folly for US to assume that nomination
IN this district is now equivalent to an elec-
ton, but firmly believe, if can have your
united efforts in my behalf, we shall march
on to victory and remove the temporary
cloud now hanging over US. There are no
| we'll defined issues dividing The political
parties at the present time. What the
people desire is faithful discharge of off,
cial duty, rigid system of economy per-
vading every department of the govern
ment, gradual reduction of the national
debt and return to specie payment as
soon as it can be accomplished without do
ing violence to the business of the country.
1t would not be wise for me at this time to
attempt to indicate any plan of campaign,
but l will say this much, that intend the
people shall understand who are in the
wrong, who are sincere in their professions
and who are making pretensions merely for
the purpose of carrying the elections
Gentlemen, will not detain you longer.
| will again thank you for the nomination
and as soon as my honorable opponent is
made known l enter upon the duties of the
campaign.
Mr.. Hutchinson moved the appoint
ment of a Congressional Committee,
which was agreed to, and the Chair
appointed, at large, B. E. Hutchinson,
of Dane; Columbia County, E. O
