FOR TIE PICKENS SENTINEL.
TO the People Of Pickens County.

Mr. EDITOR: The undersigned being
liue and q property owner on both
sides of the County line, and from
personal considerations, having many
dear friends residing in your County,
and feeling deep interest in your
welfare, would beg pardon for offer~
ing few suggestions in favor of the
adoption of the proposed stock law.
Elections have been ordered, as VIC
understand, in three townships lying
along the County line, to wit: Gar
vim, Salubrity and Pickonsvilo. On
the Anderson side a warm discussion
has been carried or for @ month or
moro, OF the merits and demerits of
the plan of fencing the stock rather
than the crops. This discussion has
driven the opposition to the subter-
tugo of objecting to the details of the
present law, while they concede the
benefits of-A1he proposed change on
general principles. This is a great
point gained, and may be said to be
tho capture Of the first line of de-
ience OF the opposition. They cannot
deny that it is better for the land
holder and better for the renter, that
the stock should be fenced rather
than the crops. 1t is a great saving
OF both labor and timber, as loes than
half tho rails will fence the stock that
is required to fence the crops. And
then it is conceded that the stock
would be better off, for the expen,
ses OF every farmer that has tried IT,
(and there are many such in Pickens
County, is.in favor of fencing the
stock. Mr.. Kennemoro, one of our
best farmers near Easley Station has
tried it for great number of years
and would not think of changing to
the old plan. Mr.. Benajah viii
liams, Of, Salubrity township, has
also had Considerable experience in
this his matter, and emphatically recon
mends 1t to everybody. These gen.
tlernen are known to be our best
farmers and most reliable gentlemen,
and their testimony is of great value.
The same kind of pasturage which
our stock clip through the old fields
is greatly improved by enclosure
Mr. Kennemore first enclosed abont
i've acres, and afterwards increased
II to ten, with ono cross fence. Tbis
plan exactly meets the case, for he
can change his stock from one side
OF the fence to the other, as may be
required. BY stock raisers. it is es-
tlmated that one acre to everv head
OF CATTLE and one aero to evorv five
head OF hogs would be suftic;ont -
0neep can pasture with the cat,lo
ana ola farmers say they browse On
"net'%cow leaves-so that the ex-
perience OF the gentlemen. named
AOoVe, with many others that mipbt
oe "dduced, settles the point that it
10 Oe'ter ior the stock to be enclosed
Then IT it be saving of labor ond
timber both, the renter and land
holder are alike Interested IN tLo
proposed change; But will the renter
lie allowed to have pastnronn '"' y.

USE AND ABUSE OF FEDERAL SOLDIERS
| Tie New York World says: The
abuse Of the Federal uniform to par.
tisan purposes dates far back Of
Grantism, it must be remembered.-
Grant never committed a grosser ont
rage in tho South to carry an election
4 than was committed in the North by
! President Lincoln when he sent Gen
eral Butler to New York in Novem
ber 1864, to take command OF THE
city and overawe it's voters in the
Presidential election Of that year. 1t
is instructive to observe that tho very
same demagogues who then, as pub
lie officials, aided and abetted in this
scandalous abuse of the Federal DOW,
or are now loudly clamoring against
tho Legitimate nse of the Federal
power either to suppress domestic
lawlessness or to enforce tho rights of
American citizens against foreign
State. The South, which has gu fferei
most of late years from tho illegal
interference of Federal troops with
Its local affairs, has now been happily
restored to its proper place in the
system ofthe republic, and there can
be no doubt that it will unite with
the law abiding classes OF the rest of
the Union in putting our Federal
establishments apon a proper and
efficient footing.
LET THE STATES DO IT, NOT THE NATION.
The Louisville Courier journal
says Instead OF urging an increase
Of the national army, it is perfectly
evident that should every State pro-
ceed at once to organize it's militia,
as in the States named by the Graph
ic, there will not be particle of ne.
ceseity to work up an imperial army
Ut regulars. In fact, the American
pc 'ple will endorse no journal which
advocates snch measure. They
don't want large standing army, for
'bvions and historic reasons. There
is every evidence, however, that tho
States are realizing the necessity of
PEI tecting their militia systems, and
if the idea iS carried out the strik @
will have perf~rmed one good office
certainly. There is no reason why
Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri
and other deficient States, should not
have as we'll seasoned soldiers, ready
for every emergency, as Now York
or Massachusetts. At present that
seems to be the notion in Kentucky,
and we shall doubtless soon have On
efficient force.

CONTESTED CASES.
!. c. Butler In the Senate
Chamber.
MS OFFICIOUS INTERFERENCE IN
THE MANAGEMENT OF THE
CONTEST.
The Republicans Consider Bribery Has
Been Employed.

NEW YORK, November %. The Times says
the democrats have guard watching Patterson
and Conover.
The Tribune says one Of the most interesting
features of the scene IN the Senate was the pres
euce of NJ. e.. Butler of south Carolina, and the
part he took III the management on the demo-
cratic side.
During nearly all of the hour when voting was
going on, he was either sitting al one of the desks
among his political associates, or passing from
one to another and apparently consulting with
them in regard TO the progress OF the contest.
On several occasions Patterson was noticed to
be speaking with Butler, as though he Was receiv-
ing instructions how be should proceed. A sena-
tor reports having overhead an order given by
Butler to Patterson IN one of the cloak rooms
during the progress of roll call. The former IS
report to have asked the latter with oath,
why he in the cloak room, and to have di-
lected INN 10 20 out into the chamber and ~ vote
on the hight side, too.
Buffers presence was marked by all the repub-
can sen ators, and the belief Is that "A direct bar
gain WAS made between hun and Patterson. which
made them more than ever unwilling that he
should obtain seat IN the Senate.
The Times says Conovers motive in voting with
the democrats cannot be fairly understood, but
may be explained by statement on the authority
Of prom nent democ, at in Baltimore who stated
some time ago that the democrats had made a
certain discovery with regard 10 Conover's action
as Treasurer in Florida under Governor Reed
aud they held the same power over him which
they hold over Patterson aud that he and Con-
over would certainly vote with the democrats,
when needed.

THE EASTERN WAR.

the Matter.
RUNORS THAT SIZE MAY IN,
TERFERE.
A GREAT BATTLE IN PROGRESS
AT IIERNOvA.

MANCHESTER, November 23 The Guardian
publishes the following from London correspon-
dent:
The recent success of the Russians in Asia. and
the probability that they will soon achieve a de-
cisive victory at Plevna, have brought back the
government to that state Of anxiety into which
they were thrown by the first raid across the Bal
kans. The feeling these events provoke in the
minds OF the ministers, is 10 be gathered from the
tone of the papers that support the Premiers for
eign policy.
The same journals daily vehemently demand
the active intervention of England. For two OF
three days the air has been full of the most SIMS
ter rumors.
1t is stated the Premier has informed the Rus
sian minister that if Adranople be taken and Con-
stantinople jeopsrdized, there may be such an
outcry in England as to make war on the part of
this country unavoidable.
The continuation of this declaration has been
sent to the Russian quarters, and has made very
strong impress ion there
In these circumstances there is some reason for
fearing this country may be dragged into the
present conflict.
