The citizens are impatient at the delayed re-

they made quick disposal of the crop...

Rev. +. II. Carswell announced from the
pulpit oi Lebanon Church last Sunday that
he would preach at Hopewell OIL the fourth
Sabbath in this month upon the use and
traffic of ardent spirits. He will be pleased
to have all classes, those who sympathize
with the grand temperance movement and
those also who worship at RUNS altar, 10

AS TWO dcaccns are to be ordained on the
same occasion, and Rev. Nj. Hiatt, of Pts.

were announced for the day. The Hopewel
Church would do well to arrange for scrvi-
ces out of doors. Lebanon Church was

cause occupies large place in our hearts.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER: Allow me room
in your paper to say few words to my
countrymen on the subject of mo fence"
A strong inclination pervadcs me to IN the
stock and out The crops. The land. where The
fences stand, in cotton, would pay our taxes,
and the enormous waste of timber would be
stopped. Shnll postcrity haul roots and
chunks for miles ON their backs, as at pres
ent in oriental countries? and the cry comes,
What shall We do for fuel? Poor and nom
realty men, think! Your children will be
chilly. They cannot afford to buy coal for
fuel when our timber gives out. Realty
suffragers ask the non-realty to go with you
and get free pasturage, for if they will not
you could fence every foot of your lands
and charge the last cent conscience would
allow for pasturage. Show them that it is
tc their interest to adopt tho change. The
first man asked to sign petition was
non-land darky, and he said Eyes" with o
relish. BE quick. every one, and do for
posterity what neither you nor they will
ever regrct-in stock and out crops.

Objections come, up against the Law itself
Well, nothing Is per-sct when ilrst found

unconstitutional. 1t does not impair old
remedies, but only makes them apply to tl,e

slight extension Of redress. Impounding,
action for trespass, ETC., arc the same. II
serious objection to the new law mny arise
from its possible circumscribed limits, and
application to townships, let oil who oppose
it on thai ground cast u vote with the con-
diton annexed. that they vote for II to apply
to the whole County. A short form may
be devised, and so obviate this objection,
even though each voter may vote in his own
township. We pass over ell consideration
OF probable cost of establishing northern

County. Suffice It to say that it would 10

owner-or TO mako mention of States and
countries where this plan has been in sue
ccssfil operation, immensely enhancing their
wealth and prosperity.
In closing this already too long article, wc
have word or two to say to our brother
farmers. We have complained. and that
justly, of want of protection, and the recog-
nition of our rights by the State aud nation.
Now We have an aleviation Offered lis of
one of our grievances; let us avail ourselves
Of the opportunity to get rid Of It. This is

TIlden Quarrels with His
Friend Hewitt.
Sew York Special Cincinnati Gazette. ]


A report of a quarrel between
Tilden and Congressman Hewitt
was circulating this evening at
several Democratic resorts. The
quarrel is said to have resulted
from the recent action of Hewitt
in Southern matters, contrary to
Tilden's advice, and in one case
in direct violation of instructions.
Morrissey, Wickham and others
are endeavoring TO harmonize
things, and think the row can be
hushed up. A prominent Demo
crat, a friend ofTilden's said to-
day that the old man had about
given up the hope of capturing
the Presidency, but was determin-
ed not to relinquish his efforts as
there is the slightest chance of
success. He is very angry with
Cronin and Grover, in the Oregon
business, particularly with the
former, who disobeyed instruc-
lions and spoiled the Democratic
case.

their childhood, and they acted as
though they heard once more the
long-hushed lullaby of childhood;
others looked dazed; they had
never heard a hymn before, and
knew not what it meant.
The suppressed breathing, the
heaving breasts of the women,
and the averted faces Of the men,

stirred once more to life, and gave
the hope that they, even in their
degradation, were not yet finally
and utterly lost.
