A REPLY TO "MAUL AND WEDGE"

dIIAkEh ., ~ W., culy 20 Aos'
Mr.. EDITOR: I see that Mr.. "Maul and
Wedge" has taken the other side of the fence
and from the way he handles his huge maui
we may expect to have the fence law subject
split in quarters before having chance to
vote on that question. The writer of the
communication is evidently p rail-maker by
trade, and has apprehensions bf being thrown
out Of employment after the adoption Of the
proposed change.
Now, Mr.. Maui and Wedge, if this is the
ground of your complaint, We hope you will
not despair. If the fence law should carry
in any of the townships that are soon to hold
their elections, some man can get contract
for making rails and building fence to enclose
the townships, which will be good job and
pleasant work while it lasts and we hope
Mr.. Maui and Wedge will avail himself Of
the opportunity to be thus presented, and
which, we trust will be his last chance to
pursue his favorite avocation. Forwhen one
Of those boundary fences is built it will new
er be necessary to repair or rebuild it. The
adjoining township, in which the law is not
in force, seeing the advantages to be derived
from the no.fence system, will speedily adopt
the same, and soon the occupation of Maui
and Wedge, like Othello's, will be gone. q
The discontented rail.maker says ''the fence
law is another dive to make the hireling q
slave;" but he does not tell US in what way
this dire calamity is to be brought about. We
are all slaves now, and by our own act. We
propose to abolish some of our heretofore hard
slavish work-such as making rails, clearing
up old fence rows, building fence, &C., and de-
vote our time thus occupied to the more prof:
liable employment of enriching our lands
growing grasses and improving our stock
All this will be the natural results of the no.
fence system while those who derive the ad
vantages will not object to Maui and Wedge
building miniature Chinese wall around his
premises, surmounted with ten-rail fence
staked and ridsred, pig tight, horse.high and
bull.stroDg.
We hope to hear from Maui and Wedge
again, before the inevitable injury" 80 dole
fully predicted by him, falls upon US. 1t il
refreshing, at least, to take theoretical lessons
under men who advocate hard work, even
though the work is proftless. -.'.''','.
1t may be some encouragement to our
friends in the adjoining township Of Kings
Mountain to know that we will have an elec'
ton in Cherokee township in December. We
had hoped to vote on the question in August,
but were too slow, and failed to procure the
required number of petitioners at the proper
time. Our friends of Kings Mountain town
ship need not approheud any fear of having
fence to build on the line of the two town
ships if they succeed in carrying the fence law
there We hope to be able to place it on the
North Carolina line next December. = ~ t'.i

The King of Gaboon, the oldest native
Prince on the African coast, died about the
beginning of May at the advanced age of 100
years, and was succeeded by his eldest son
Andaunte, who at once broke up his fathers
harem and cashiered the women to the mum.
Der of 120, liberated all the deceased kings
slaves and abolished the sacrifice of human
beings at religious rites. He also informed
the traders on the Gaboon river that he will
take immediate steps to facilitate and open up
the trade of the river and roads leading to the
interior.
The Charlotte Observer, of the 10Th ul.
timo, says: "a colored man who says that he
has recently returned from trip to Liberia,
is in this city at present, and is expressing his
opinion very freely as to the country which
some of the colored people from the South
seem to regard as an Utopia. He says there
can be no where on the face of the earth a
more unhealthy country. A man forty years
old, going from this country there, will live
two weeks; young man can live longer, but
he will never have any health. The people
have disease of the feet which causes their
toes to fall off and kills about half of them,
while the other half 60 limping nearly all the

most God forsaken country imaginable good

to meet at Nashville, Tennessee, on Tuesday

the negroes in every effort to improve their
own race and cultivate kindly relations with
the white race. Fred Douglass, in a letter of
similar purport, says: "There must be no con:

THE ATTITUDE OF THE SOUTH

The Cabinet has held daily sessions since
the strike of the railroad war assumed serious
proportions, and will continue to do so until
the necessity has passed. The President and
the Cabinet members all express the opinion
that it will not be wise to relax in the least
the viglant watch over the rioters until all
opposition to the railroad operations shall
cease. Last Friday there was also brought
before the Cabinet the subject of the anticipa
ted Indian outbreaks in Alaska, in conse
uuence of the withdrawal ofthe Federal troops
1t is believed that the reports of this matter
have been much exaggerated in the interest
of parties who wish the troops kept in Alaska
for their private gain; but as a measure OF
precaution, orders were issued that two of the
revenue cutters now on the Pacific coast shall
be despatched to Sitka to restore order, should
the Indians make any hostile demonstrations.
A member of the Cabinet, after the meeting
Friday afternoon, said the good effects Of
President Hayes Southern policy had been
remarkably exempli6ed. He said the Pres
ident had concluded to uphold Packard and
Chamberlain it would have necessitated the
retention Of a considerable number of troops
in both Louisiana and South Carolina. In
consequence of the disturbances in the North
at this time, the President would have no al.
tentative but to remove the troops. Their re-
moval would have been followed by a popular
uprising against Packard and Chamberlain,
and the spectacle would then have been pre-.
sented of the government having to cope with
rebellion in the North and a rebellion in the
South As it was, the government, for the
first time since the war, found itself entirely
relieved from any fears as to public tranquil
ity in the South.
The President himself feels very much
cheered by this reflection and by the eviden-
ces which have so freely come from the South
of its active sympathy with his efforts to pre-.
serve the peace of the country. The whirligig
of time brings about some strange things. If,
as is happily not now anticipated, the Presi.
dent should be forced to call for volunteers,
there is no question at Washington chat the
quota of the South would be made up in an
incredibly short time, and Southern soldiers
would be found aiding in putting down re-
bellion on Northern SOIL

The Columbia correspondent of the News
and Courier telegraphs that paper under date
of last Sunday night, that Ex-Governor Moses
has been closeted with the investigating COM
mittee for the two previous days, and his rev:
elations have been of much interest in ena-
bling the committee to follow old trails and
open new ones. On Saturday, in company
with one of the committee, Moses went in
search ofa certain box of papers which, locked
up in the drawer of one of his pieces of furni-
ture had been sold with it and had passed
into other hands. The furniture was traced
to its purchaser, when it was found that the
drawer had remained undisturbed in conse-
quence of the loss of the key to the lock, and
the bundle of papers was recovered intact and
turned over to the committee. These papers
are said by Moses to be perfect bonanza of
facts of interest to the public and to the par
ties most concerned. Their contents will ap'
pear in due time 1t has not been stated
heretofore that in the long list of fraudulent
Day.certi6cates which have formed the basis
of the recent numerous arrests, the names of
the payees are all fictitious and invented for
the occasion instance, G. L. Frankfort, whose
initials in reverse order are those of Cardozo,
for whose benefit that particular certificate
was drawn in the general division. Other
like tell-tale combinations occur. Search in
the several counties for owners of these pre-
tended names has utterly failed. 1t is stated
in Columbia that several of the fugitives who
have fled this State and justice within fort
night, have made their way to Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts, under the assurance; that
no requisition for them will be honored. The
strength of their refuge will be tested.

A CuriOuS Will Case.

A very singular will case was brought
to the attention of the Probate Court to-
day. A man died leaving his property
one-third to his wife, one-third TO his
child and the other third to a child then
unborn. The unborn party proved to be
twins and the executor is sorely per-
picked MS to whether he shall divide the
third, giving each of the twins one-sixth
of the estate. or whether he should carry
out the testator's purpose to serve all the
children alike by giving them and the
widow each one-fourth, or whether, again,
he shall give the widow her third and
divide the other two-thirds among the
three children. The case being wholly
without precedent in this State, the
court gave the executor no advice, and
the conundrum is to be in some way
brought before the Supreme Court.

Ravages Of Wolves i'm Russia.

A pamphlet by M. Lasarewski, which
has been issued from the Russian Min
istry of the Interior, gives formidable
account of the ravages of wolves, from
which it appears that in European Rus
STA alone about 100000 of these beasts
are harbored, number which shows an
increase rather than diminution dur
ing the last decade. In the three years
ending in 1861, 125 persons were killed
by the wolves, and in 1875 161 persons
met their death from the same cause.
Official reports show that about $50, 900
head of large animals and 500,0 head
of small fall victims to these marauders
but these numbers are inadequate, since
much destruction is wrought which is
not officially reported. The female
wolves nourish their Young on fowl, and
in the one government OF Kasan they
dispose of some H. 900 geese annually
besides this they kill at least 100, 00O
dogs in the same time, and altogether
cost European Russia about 5 90, 600, 00O
roubles per annum.

Large Noses.

DIR. Cid, an inventive surgeon at Paris,
noticed that elderly people, who for a
long time have worn eyeglasses sup
ported on the nose by spring, are apt
to have this organ long and thin. This
he attributes to the compression which
the spring exerts ON the arteries by
which the nose is nourished. The iaea
occurred to him that the hint could be
made useful. Not long afterwari y
young lady of Is consulted him, to see il
he could restore to moderate dimensions
her nose, which was large, feshy, and
unsightly. The trait he found was
hereditary in her family, as her mother
and sister were similarly affected. This
was discouaging, as hereditary pecul-
iarities are particularly obstinate But
the doctor determined to try his method.
He took exact measurement, and had
constructed for her a "t,nette pince-
nez"-a spring and pad for compressing
the artery, which she wore at night and
whenever she conveniently could in the
daytime. In three weeks a consolatory
diminution was evident, and in three
months the young lady was quite salts
fed with the improvement in her
features.

The Roads Across the Balkans.

Bulgaria, from the river to the Bal
kans, is rolling country, covered in
some places with rich pastures and fer
tile fields, and traversed by numerous
streams. The villages are not numer-
Gus, and are widely separated from each
other, but OF considerable extent and
generally well-provisioned on this re-
source, however, an invading army can
not rely, as in all probability they have
been already well drained by the Turks.
This circumstance will, in consequence,
necessitate the transportation of every
thing needed for the subsistence of the
columns The roads during the rainy
season are, in tins light, clayey soil,
simply impracticable. The descent into
the valleys, as We approach the noun
tains, becomes steep, and is rendered
more difficult by the absence of bridges
over all but the principal water-courses.
In the winter, when the snow is very
abundant, there are no roads at all. In
the summer all vegetation is burned up
by the exec ssive heat, and the want of
water is sensibly felt, although Mussul-
man piety has established fountains and
ding wells wherever it is possible. This
SiiSethio WILLY oitCh htNCSSilutto iObS
marches, particularly for the cavalry,
and is a reason for an enforced bad Sc
lection of camps and environments.
Even when the TO ds are practicable an
advance across the country is impossible
for an army accompanied by heavy
train. The difficulties of the passage of
the Balkans uepend less upon the abso-
lutte height and inaccessibility of the
mountains themselves than upon the
countless obstacles of detail which accu-
mulate during six or seven days march,
and are increased by the paucity and
bad condition of the lines of commune
cation. The Balkan is almost uninhab-
tied its sides are covered with virgin
forests, and as, even in the valleys, vii
lagos are not numerous, the roads are
neglected.
The first operation of any army of in
vasion will, then, necessarily, be the
construction of roads. The defense of
the Balkan itself demands no addition
to it's already existing permanent fortifi-
cations, but merely the establishment of
field works and abattis at all the differ
ent defiles, as the enemy's forces must
be opposed Mt many points, it not being
within the limits of possibility to con-
centrate at any ne.-Bucharest Core
