Fence or No Fence.

In our issue this week will be found two I'll
cles upon the working of the Stock law in North
Carolina, to which we call the attention Of those
in this County who arc opposed to changing our
present system. The one on our fourth page,
from ID. w. &. Bcnbow, is entitled to every con-
sideration, from the fact that he one of q
committee appointed by the North Carolina
State Agricultural Society for the special pur-
pose of investigating the matter and procuring
all the information that could be obtained from
parties who had tested the effects and advan-
tagcs Of the new law and the statement
publish is part OF the official report to the So
cicty. Men who oppose the law i'll this County
Go so under the impression that it will work
hardship upon certain classes Of citizens. They
know nothing at all about its effects, and base
their opinions upon supposabc cases. The same
opinions were held by those who opposed the
change in those counties where the stock law Is
| now in force, but the practical working of the
change has convinced them that their fears were
groundlcss and they arc now the strongest ad-
vocatcs of the new law. Under its protection

The State Rank Hills.

The State Bank Bills.
MIR. EDITOR The Board of County Commits
sioners deserves and is receiving the Common
dltions of the faithful creditors and loyal tax
payers of the County, for refusing to pay the
claims of those who have bought from specula-
tors, or, more correctly speaking, from Bank
Buzznrds, bills of the old Bank of the State,
and rendered them for county taxes, at least un-
til other creditors have been paid. Indeed it
seems to be the height of impudencc fol one
who has spccula;cd in this way upon the other
taxpayers and creditors of the county to pre-
sumo to ask the Commissioners to put him u
footing with those who have paid their taxes in
current funds.
After an extra tax for the purpose Of paying
off the past Indebtedness of the county has been
levied, it is morifying to all who feel an inter
est in the welfare Of the County and who desire
to see her credit once more restored to find the
realization of their hopes frustrated by the
spoliatons of some of our own citizens. who,
so to speak, have pockcted their patriotism and
traded off that plank of the Democratic plat
form pledging the party to Free Schools lew
taxes, honesty, retrenchment and reform. They
possibly may have imagined that it was necessa-
ny lSr tnem TO oecomv usyts.srh-yssv~a. syler
that they might hereafter furnish a practical
illustration of what is intcnlcd by the term re-
form.
The question whether or not the Court will
require the County Treasurer TO receive these
bills for County taxes, is legal one, and has
nothing to do with the purposes Of this articles
for, admitting the legality of tho tender it FUR
nishcs no Justification to those who have pur-
chased these bills in order to use them in nav
mcnt of County taxes. Non Omnc iicitaw homes
i"m. Those who happened to have them on
hand at the close of the war, or have in any way
paid full value for them, may lie excused for
rendering them for taxes, and il the purchased
bills had Jccn rendered simply for State taxes.
there would be no special cause for complaint,
FOR then the burden of the deficiency would be
borne by the State. Every dollar rendered for
County taxes is TO that extent compelling Union
County 10 pay more than her share of the State
debt. -
The following argument has been uscd as an
excuse for rendering State bills for county tax
esi to wit: That the Supreme Court of the
United States has decided that they are rccciva-

probably say, been taking advantage CT crcpm-

County Names.

True, rose by any other name will
smell as sweet but names are sometimes
disagreesble reminders. Besides there
is fitness in things. While the Legis-
lature is attending to the weightier mat
ters of the law, We would say that the
names affixed to several counties during
the saturnalia of Radicalism, possess
an unsavory odor. They were intended
as standing insult and reproach to the
people of the State; and we do not see
why their representatives should not OBJ
literate them and substitute others more
accordant with the sentiment and spirit
of her people. ~

Foremost of the new provisions in the
Constitution ratified by the voters of
Georgia last week, is the power confer
red on the Legislature to regulate rail
road tariffs and prevent unjust discrimi-
nations.
1t will be borne in mind that the
platform of the Democratic Conservative
party of Mississippi declares that corpo-
rations, including railroads, are super
visable by the Legislative authority.
The Supreme Court of the United States
has decided that the power to regulate
freights and fares is vested in the State
authorities. The power is unquestioned.
The duty to protect the people is unmis-
taxable. 1t is for the Legislature to de-
termine the mode and measure of doing
so. In a recent Granger case" in
dealing with the law of Wisconsin, the
Supreme Court of the United States de
cided that the Legislature has the power
to provide by law for maximum charges
of fare and freight by the railroads with
in the State. Chief Justice Waite, in
his decision, shows that the Constitution
of Wisconsin, when The Chicago and
Northwestern Company was chartered,
gave the Legislature the power of alter
ing or repairing all charters, and that
under the decision in the Illinois case
the present one must be similarly dis
posed Of AS to the effect of the statute
as a regulation of Interstate commerce
it is a sufficient answer to say. that the
law is confined to State commerce, OF
such inter State commerce as directly at
fects the people of Wisconsin. Says the
Chief Justice
With the people of Wisconsin this com
Dany has domestic relations. incidentally
these may reach beyond the State Blu
| certainly until Congress undertakes to leg
| islate for those who are without the State
| Wisconsin may provide for those within
even though it may indirectly affect then
without. If the question ever arises wheth
er the company can be compelled to con
tnue its business at the prices fixed, it will
be time enough for us to pass upon it whei
il reaches here in due course of proceeding
It is not here now.
