Tho Fonce Law. Again.

IL ia decidedly II mattNr Of sur.
prise that thc people Of South Caro-
lima, on ut least those Of the up.
country, trouble themselves SO little
IN IN effective way about tho fence
law. That tho present eystcm is
both annoying and unpopular wo
have scarcely any doubt yet there
seems to DC little doing to remedy
its defects. AS q matter of con
vonicnco, tho abolition or entire
modification OF the present . law
would scent to strike all those in
tcrcstcd in agriculture proper as
groatly desirable, Tho Experienced
farmer must have felt, during tho
past ten years, that the most
difficult part of plantation work to
have dono properly is that of build
ing or repairing railfchtts. IT is
II species Of work both irksonib ahtl
trying, and Wc have not boen SUI
priscd ut the numerous cpinplnints Is
that have reached us in this barticu.
lar. This Inconvenience must
increase from year to year, rs tho
old systcm and it's Incidents bucomo
moro and moro things of tho past,
and hence more and moro unpopu
lnr with the luborinE classes.
Another objoction--and q most
serious ono it isis tho expense
necessarily entaiiod in keeping up
good fences. We freely admit That
what we know about farming" is
not worth Knowing; but it is not
necessary that ono shoIild be u
practical or oven theoretical
planter to know that fencing costs
money. Not that there is an aCtltal
expenditure OF ready cash for the
building Of every iencc-thoueh
there have come under o,tr own Oh
sorvati"h many instances in which
such Was the casc-,but there is an
expenditure of money notwithstand
ing. Every hour spent in building
fences is just so much time taken
from That which ought to be spcnt
in regular farm work. liza laborct
consumes day or any number of
days in building fences, tho cost of
his labor is just SO much money
spent with no direct roturn--a con.
sumption Of floating capital with no

Not satisfied with abolishing the law to mitigate
and lei loose the kahunas to practice their charms
unbindered, the Legislators even try to introduce
again the retail sale of opium under a license Of
not less than $4,000, valuing the remnant of The
native population Of 5000 exactly at so cents per
head,s and to save or rather raise the amount of
$4,000 for the treasury would sell the lives of
their own people dirt-cheap at 80 Cents, instead of
leaving the law as it stands except giving. which
ought to have been done from the first, Jurisdiction
to police and district courts in all opium easqs)
That law in a few years would stamp ont the traffic
and the use Of opium. When the present law was
put in force a large amount OF opium was in the
hands of dealers and spectators, but not 10 be.
come heavy losers by their investment, opium has
been sold ut bedrock prices, and the stock on hand
is at present much diminished, and also the use of
opium is in the same ratio diminished. This is a
fact, and as such well established by The expert
ence of those who are the best judges, the police.
As soon as the last of the stock on hand is gone.
the vigilance of the custom house officers will pre-
vent any introduction of the poison, at least in
large quantities, and the efficiency of the police
force will interfere with its being used freely. The
use of opium in a few years under continuance Of
the present law would cease and be efectually
stamped out but here come our friends to revive
again this traffic that has caused already so much
poverty, so much misery, so much death and well

WHAT is to be the effect Of the new treaty on
the prosperity of these Islands? This is q question
which every thoughtful man will ask. With proper
legislation it will add to their prosperity; mis-
management and bad legislation will ruin US.
If the government vote, extravagant sums for a
childish display Of military, or any other useless
purpose, with the intention of extorting il from
their best subjects and citizens, the effect will be
disastrous.
Thoughtful men are careful, and if they see 3
