at one time to select man that lived on
different land aud hire him to use his
influence to keep the others from turning
their stock in on his crop until all the
crops were gathered. There are few
people in every neighborhood who only
keep their stock off the crops, thinking
the present law forces them to do so.
Though they are slow to learn law, they
are annually learning more and more,
and it only requires few cases to be
tried, (which will be tried before long,
because the fencing and the stock are
getting worse every year, and when a
few cases have been tried and decided,
then, as I said above, it will be known
that they can let heir stock live on the
crops of others with perfect impunity.
So, Mr.. Editor, I deem this matter
of vast Importance to the welfare of our
County. 1t is case of necessity, and it
is said necessity is the mother Of inven-
ton. Well, necessity is the mother of
law, because out of the necessities of
country has grown all the law of the
land. And now necessity demands new
fence law, because the circumstances
of the country, the condition of our
fencing, the timber, the outside range,
the mischievousness of the stock, have
all changed since the present fence law
was put in force. In fact, everything is
so changed that the present fence law is
not law at all, and does not apply to
our present condition consequently, we
are at the mercy of mischievous stock,
and if we do not lass the new fence law,
and get out of our present dilemma,
pray tell me what are the farmers to do?
I hope the people will reflect upon
this subject, and ask themselves why is it
they have to keep fence about their
farms? Then they will see that it is in
order to have stock will see that it will
not take one-quarter of the fencing to
keep stock enclosed that it does to fence
the crops. It has been proved that it
costs as much to fence the crops as the
stock is worth 1t would be as cheap to
kill every hog and COW in the State.
Then we would need no fence at all. If
a thing will not pay more than expenses,
we had better not have it to be troubled
with. The proposed law suggests a plan
that will reduce the expense of keeping
stock that will pay and leave a good
pfoit. Should law-as the present
ole-force me to course in reference to
keeping stock which is not profitable,
that is losing business on my part. I
believe, as, above stated, that the change
will work to the benefit of the poorest
class in our land. But suppose it did not
suit every Individual. Should almost
everybody be subjected to a course that's
detrimental to their interests just to suit
few persons who compose only a very
small portion of our country? 1t is un-
just for it to be so. Iwould not advocate
course which would work injury to any
class of citizens, and do not believe the
proposed law would do so.

you shall be taken by the Sheriff Charles
ton County to the place ofpublic execution
and there be hanged by your necks until
your bodies be dead. And may God have
mercy on your souls"
During the pronouncement of this SOL
emn sentence the vast audience had be-
come as hushed and as silent as the tomb,
and during the utterance of the last words
the stiffness was painful. Then there
seemed to be sigh or shudder which ran
throughout the crowd, and movement
to get out of the door. The prisoners
were evidently prepared for hearing their
doom, for a close observer Of their tea-
lures could not have noticed the slightest
change, save perhaps slight blanching
on the part of Stevens, and an inyolun-
tary sickly smile on the part of Pearce.
The prisoners were then handcufed to-
gether, and under a strong guard were
recommitted to Jail to await the execu-
ton of the terrible sentence Charleston
Mews and Courier.

WASHINGTON, juno "a

WASHINGTON, June "a.
The Presidents order to offce-holders
received full consideration in the Cabinet,
and as interpreted by members of the
Cabinet it was Intended to absolutely
prohibit Federal ofice-holders and their
employees from holding any connection
with what is known as the machine of
politics. AS originally drawn, the order
presented the alternative of resignation
from the political position or removal by
the President from the Federal office.
The formal statement of this alternative
was stricken out ss superauous, since the
open violation of a personal order of the
President would of course be cause for,
and would certainly lead to, removal.
The order, as interpreted by the Cabinet
officers, is intended to prohibit any con-
nection whatever with any of the various
ward, township, county, State, or nation
al organizations Tor conducting political
campaigns. Those who now hold any of
these positions will be removed if they
continue to hold them after time enough
has elapsed for tie general, circulation of
the Presidents order. The order is held
to be explicit as TO the part office-holders
will be allowed to take in political affairs,
this part being clearly limited to voting,
speaking and writing for the public
press.
Southern Republicans are particularly
troubled as they say that the party Or
ganization cannot be maintained in many
parts of the South without the protection
which the active connection of federal
officers with the work of the campaign
affords. A number of the Presidents
closest political friends here are stoutly
opposed to this order. They deem it
possible to correct the abuses at which it
is aimed without depriving the party of
the valulble services of many strong,
honest a1d most efficient workers who
now hold prominent positions under the
government.
To the Associated Press:
WASHINGTON, juno %.
The President to-day addressed the
following circular letter to all the promi-
nent Federal officers throughout the
country:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, June %, 1877.
SIR cesire to call your attention to
the following paragraph in a letter ad-
dressed by me to the Secretary of the
Treasury on the conduct to be observed
by officers o. the general government in
relation to elections:
'No officer should be required or per-
mitted to take part in the management
of a political organization, caucusess,
conventions Or election campaigns. Their
right to vote and 10 express their views
on public questions, either orally or
or through the press, is not denied, pro-
vided it does not interfere with the dis
charge of their official duties. No assess
ment for political purposes on officers or
subordinates should be allowed"
This rule IS applicable to every depart
ment of the civil service. 1t should be
understood by every officer of the general
government that he is expected to con-
form his conduct to its requirements.
Very respectfully,
r. B. HAYES.

improved at a trihing cost. Another
grand item in favor of the law is, the
fertilizers that every farm could make at
home to improve his land; because if a
man has, a good stock of cattle ne will
naturally incline to take good care of
them. He will have good stalls for them
at night and in bad weather, and would
be able to save the pure fertilizer under
shelter, one load of which is worth FIVE
loads of what is made out in the weather,
the best qualities having been washed
away by the hard rains. Another item
proves the necessity of change in the
fence law. In this section of the County,
on all the water-courses, the farms are
under one fence. For miles on Twenty
Three-Mile Creek there is but one dlvl-
ding fence from Passmore bridge to Slab
town bridge, about five miles, and that
one is at the crossing of a public road.
Fences cannot be kept across the lands
of the streams of the five miles men-
toned. The land belongs to about
twenty different persons, and is cultivated
by fifty or sixty different families. The
same state of affairs exists on all the
water-courses and in all communities.
There are persons who care for self only,
and gather their own part of the crop,
turn in their stock, not knowing or caring
whether others have gathered their crops
or not and have known men on these
water-courses have to keep off the stock
of other people until they could get
their own crop gathered. A farmer had
