astounding to contemplate the enormous sums
OF money annually expended upon fencing
sums which are subtracted from the means
OF the Individual, and which constitute an
utter loss to the community. This expense
is n greyous burden upon the planter, and Is
imposed upon him for d most costly, most
perishabie, and an outrageously unnecessary
article. Planters are required TO expend
these extravagant sums, not to facilitate their
own industry, not to serve any useful pur-
pose connected with agriculture, but merely
to protect Themselves against losses and
depredations from which they should be pro-
tected by the law. In most agricultural
countries fences are used solely to enable
proprietors to contlne their own stock
and to promote their own operations.
Otherwise, fences AFRO superfiuous, and
are, Ia fact, regarded as n mere
relic OF barbarism. In Louisiana. however,
planters who cultivate large areas OF land /;
who give employment, directly and Indirect
ly, to hundreds Of people, and who contribute
vastly TO public and commercial wealth. are
forced 10 devote y very serious proportion Of
their means to inelosing fields and SO sccur-
Ing them against the inroads OF stock run
ming at large.
This IL All wrong fagrantly and hideously
wrong 1t Ia u safe and Legitimate proposi-
ton that stock that IL worth having Ia worth
caring for. 1t Ii an axiom which no one will
quee tlon, that society will best be advanced
by protecting those who constitute It's most
reliable element and by ignoring the inter-
ests Of those who are Mt war with all Of so
ciety's most genuine aspirations. The farmer
who tills tho soil; who adds to tho productive
capacity Of tho country; who gives employ
ment to others. and creates u market for
merchandise 10 certainly better entitled TO
the fostering care Of government than the
drone tho idler the excroscence Neverthe-
less IL Is the fact in Louisiana to-day
that tho farmer Is Obliged to devote
very large proportion OF his capital
TO the erection and maintenance OF fences,
for no other purpose than toprotect his crops
from the depreciation of hogs and cattle be-
longing to or claimed ny ersons who DELHI
erately turn them loose In order that they
may fatten and increase upon tho property OF
others. Lot any farmer calculate the amount
Of money he is compelled to spend In this
way and no may then form some estimate
OF the enormous aggregate annually with
drawn from the wealth OF the State. Let him
consider how much good this sum would do II
expended upon his wife, his children, or his
business and he will realize how much he
loses on account of unwise and improvident
government.
We urge upon the Legislature the impera-
tive necessity Of taking action In this matter.

The New York San publishes q highly Inn
probable story from Philadelphia. CORE
spondent 10 that CITY states that while the
Childs and Borie crowd were lavishing the
money of the city upon Grant, and, rs they
fondly hoped swelling this boom for the "old
man." James McManes, the most influential
Republican politician ot the city, was elect
ing the Philadelphia delegates TO the Repub-
lican State convention. aad taking especial
care that they should all be anti-arant men.
The story runs that Senator Cameron was
exceedingly wroth when he found what had
been done, and seeking out MaManes spent
several hours In fruitless interview with
him, which ended with the declaration on the
part OF McManes that "Grant Is not In the
fight: his name will not even DO brought be-
fore the convention" We would like to be-
lieve this story; but, In view of the fact that
Cameron carries Philadelphia In his left side
vest pocket, find 1t impossible to do 50. 1t Is
safe to say that IL Philadelphia's vote Is not
given Tor Grant In convention. 1t will be be-
cause Don Cameron. and not James Nc

Much dissatisfaction prevails among Con
uressmen over the nominations OF census gu
peryisors 1t seems that the President paid
no attention whatever to positive promises.
A number OF members or the House 90 as far
as to say that he sent for them and requested
them to indicate proper persons for supervi-
eors. Accordingly they had deliberated upon
the matter, made their selections and in
formed the parties that they might expect the
appointments When the list was sent In, to
their amusement they found that 1t did not
contain the names they had been assured
would be found on 1t. Others solicited ap-
pointments, notably Congressman Pound, Of
Wisconsin, who was promised that certain
person should be named one OF the superv-
sors. Hearing afterwards that there was
some difficulty about the appointment he
called ct the White House and WAS again as
sured that the name he desired should be
sent In 10 the Senate. This was not done,
and the entire Wisconsin delegation now
wAnt fS~Snow the reason why. Hereafter
presidential promise will not be re-
yarded - valuable by Mr.. Pound
But there arc graver objections to the list
than those advanced by individuals. 1t Is
grossly unjust A. to Its distribution among
the two parties Oaly thirty-eight Demo-
cratic supervisors are appointed La one hun
dred and fifty, aud OF these large proper

Western Democrats are much incensed, be
cause their States are almost wholly deprived
of party Representatives among the super
visors. 1t was expected that they would be
divided equally between the parties, that
there might be no false enumeration forp9-
litical purposes. This has not been me *.

lieved that the list will be badly mutilated
when the Senate l. through with IS, and Mt

THE GREAT RAILROAD MOVE.

The recent superb strategy evineed BY the
management Of the Louisville, Nashville and
Great Southern Railroad Company, by which
it has purchased the controlling interest in
the Nashville. Chattanooga and St. Louis
Railroad, with all its leased lines, taken in
connection with its recent purchase OF the
controlling interest in the Mobile and Mont
gomery Railroad, has created profound SEN
satlon, not only IN railroad circles but through
out the entire country.
The result Is really stupendous, placing as it
does under the absolute control Of one corpora

tion about three Thousand five hundred miles
of road, which ts more than one thousand miles
more than Is controlled by that gigantic rail-
road corporation, tho Pennsylvania Central.
The Louisville, Nashville and Great Southern
has now an unbroken line from Michigan
City, on the shores OF Lake Mlcht-
gan to Pensacola aud Mobile on the
Gulf OF Mexico, and radiatng lines to Savan-
nah aud Port Royal on the Atlantic. Every
railroad running across the country must ut
some point interseet and In some measure pay
tribute to this great commercial artery,
which, being now under The control OF onr In
terest ust hereafter exercise potent iDfu-
ence In the future development OF the South.
This coup d'rtat, which Is regarded rs the
most brilliant exhibition OF railroad enterprise
and strategic skill over Witnessed In this or
any other country, has put the people Of
Nashville. Chattanooga and Cincinnati In
state of excitement which has In 1t many OF
tho elements OF despair. and the air about the
first named city has been made blue with tbs
denunciations OF the two pbrtles who owning
the majority of tho stock In the Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis II tiIroLd, sold out
to the Louisville and Nashville road without
giving the Nashville people and their friends
oven chance to make % bid on the stock.
THIS exeitement is not unnatural when II Is
considered that the sale leaves the Nashville
and Chattanooga people with Il line from st.
Louis and Chicago to Nashville with no CON
Meeting Southern link, or In other words ab-
solutely ut the mercy Of the great rival
Louisville corporation, which Ia now unqnes-
tionably master of tho situation, able to die
tate to the entire railroad system of the
South, and powerful for good or evil rs the
case may be. The president OF the Louis
willie, Nashville and Great Southern announces
that all sections may rely upon an equal
and exact justice In the matter OF rates.
Not satisfied with their enormous purchases
and with tho vast extent OF their lines. the
L., N. Il G.. s. Is strenuously endeav
oring to secure tho lease OF the Georgia
Central and to purchase the missing link
between Mobile and New Orleans. The
rumors that the purchase OF the latter
road had been consummated for the sum OF
So 0Oo, 900. and that the louisville and Nash
Vile people had managed to buy up major

and New Orleans Railroad. are. we learn. In
correct, and have no other foundation than the
fact that the owners of the road, when ap-
preached on the subject, consented to sell for
the sum of 5000 900. but no sale was made,
nor Ii there great likelihood OF the property
changing hands ut those figures. There IL no
doubt of Its value to the L., N. and q. S.. as
It would make New Orleans terminal
point on the Gulf In addition to Mobile and
Pensacola, which would be OF very great Inn
portance. giving them direct Communication
with Texas.

Notwithstanding the fate these wretches

have aroused the profoundest feelings OF
Indignation throughout the town. mass

this outrage. The ministers chose tobacco
as their text and preached against 1t, and
every blank wall In town was ornamented

tobacco produced. The excitement In Ober~
lin on the tobacco question Is intense.
and there ID every reason to believe that
this anti-tobacco crusade will be rs sue
cessful as the anti whisky and anti.bIliard

. rio. which beggars description.
Early in the morning, a party OF
colored people, somo 10 or SO in
number, hailing from Scott and
Troy Townships, made their 'ap.
pearance in our town in force,
headed with banners and two
drums. They announced that they
had como for the purpose Of at.
tending a pic nc, which they said
they understood was to take place
at OsceoIa. Later developments
proved these statements were mere
prctense. After parading the
streets and taking possession of
the sidewalks, and turning aside
for no one, they assembled at the
Court House, where John NJ. Col.
lins. Republican candidate for the
Legislature, made them a speech.
We do not know the character of
his remarks to them, but under
stood they were of an infammatory
nature appealing to the colored
people to assert their rights, and
announcing, in bitter terms, some
of the whites Of the county; how
ever this may be, certain it Is that
after the speaking, the worst cases
among them became insolent, and
what with tho candidates treating
and filling them up with common
whisky, and an opposing element
which had in the mean time come
to town from the surrounding
country, the town presented a
q scene Of wild confusion more
easily imagined than described.
About three o'clock in the evening
it seemed as though everybody was
drunk, polit cs, whisky and the cx-
treme heat of the day seemed to
be thoroughly mixed; one man
would yell: Hurrah for Has
kins," another would answer,
Hurrah for Bowen" I'm the
best Cd d-n man IN the town."

Marshal and Deputy Sheriff seemed
powerless to queli the excitement,
and when they attempted to arrest
one, they were Immediately sur.
rounded by a mob and resisted. /,
would be hard to say why, how OF
wherefore, but as though by pre-,
concerted arrangement, seaeral
