ILLEGAL FENCING.

1t will be seen that Attorney General
Templeton has caused writs of injunction
to be served upon Colonel Charles Good
night, prohibiting him from erecting any
more fences around school lands and re-
pairing such fences from line. riding gaps,
and also from interfering with the free
use of such lands by the public, or pre-
venting the public from driving cattle
through these lands. The writ is also
mandatory and enjoins him from keep
ing such fences from standing any longer
which he has already built upon such
lands not leased or purchased by him. 1t
is meant to inaugurate legal proceedings
against all free grazing by cattle kings.
The Galveston News thinks that the at
torney-general will meet with many diff
culties in his way. First, as the trial is to
be in Austin, the News says the question
of Jurisdiction will confront him; next,
that the appeal of the case will drag it
uhi'uSh 'iO SOullS III years, anu, lastly,
our contemporary asserts that as the state
has defined legal fence, the Panhandle
people will avoid it by making fence
that is not legal.
The encouragement doubtless expects
to meet with difficulties, as all do
who undertake any kind of litigation,
for however plain mans legal rights
may seem to him there is always
another side, and as many find, like the
people who go down to the sea in ships,
that they never get safely back again. or
that they are swamped by the obstruc-
tions of that other side but they still go to
law, as the encouragement has, on plain
matter of duty. 1t makes no difference
how long the case is drawn out, it GER
tainly cannot be settled sooner by post
poning its commencement.
The other idea of the News, that the
fences of the Panhandle are not legal
fences, has no weight. The law has de-
fined what legal fence is, to protect the
trespassing cattle from fine when break
ing in over an insufficient fence; but, what
ever the obstruction may be, fence or a
hedge that the cattleman builds or raises
around the school lands, he has placed an
illegal obstruction to the free transit of
the public over the lands, and such
bubble will not avail him before a court
properly constituted.
The question of jurisdiction is settled
by the quantity of land enclosed. There
fore, if the matter in controversy is over
twenty-five sections, the suit must be
brought at Austin, and we apprehend
the learned attorney general of Texas
was fully aware of what he was
about when he brought the suit

POLITICAL observation-disclosures

| POLITICAL DISQUALIFICATIONS.
Pending the discussion of Logan's bill
on the increase of the army, Senator Glib
son, of Louisiana, moved an amendment
to the BILL by which the section 1918 OF
the revised statutes of the United States
would have been virtually repealed, but
Mr. Gibson's amendment was lost The
statute sought to be repealed is that by
which all soldiers and sailors who served
in the confederate army or navy are dis
qualified from holding any position in the
United States army.
amendment to the constitution of the
United States provides that anyone in the
service of the Confederate States
government, after his disabilities are re-
moved, is eligible, not only to become a
senator or representative in congress, as
sociate and even chief justice of the
United States, to hold the trust of the
honor, dignity and power of o minister to
any foreign court where the highest inter
ests of this government is concerned, and
by whose prudence war may be obviated
but can become the yice-president, even
the president of this great country, but
not lieutenant in the United States
army.
An ex-confederate may have voice in
bringing on war, but he cannot be trusted
with squad of men in time of peace.
This is asgreat absurdity. 1t is also OBJ
noxious to every spirit of justice and
most incongruous to the general laws on
the subject of the other restored rights
of the ex-confederates.
Tearing out the question of statuary
inconsistency, it is time that
the feeling that animated such
an exception should be banished
from the heart of every man from the St.
Croix river to the Potomac. As long as
one such provision blots and disgraces the
statutes of the United States, this so-called
republic is not republic, for it excludes
citizens entitled to all other honors in the
country from an equality with others on a
particular thing, to-wit: the right to hold
position in the army and navy.
The south was the battlefield and suf-
fered all the severity and all the losses, as
far as property was concerned, in that
disastrous war; and no spirit of auimosity
rankles to-day in the southern heart Her
citizens are not capable of nursing malice,
i've in the south and express any radical
opinions they choose and will not now

Nd. VA. FRIDAY MORNING. MAY 2s, 1886.

A. w. Rountree. Both OF the co'ored
candidates were elected.
AS noticed in the appended table, lew
scattering votes were east for several per
sons for Council and justices OF the peace
other than the regular nominees. One vote
was cast in the First Ward for Mr.. y. Y.
McRae for Commonwealth's attorney ana
one for 4. Gallagher, Esq, for City Ser
geant.
There were really Int two tickets IN The
field, but each candidate having had MS
own tickets printed with bis name at tue
head. there was such difference OF ar
rangement of the names of candidates that
tie count consumed an unusually long time.
The count In the First ward, which Il al-
WAYS the first to get through, was not com
pleted until 10 O'Clock, and IL was some
time after midnight before this work was
completed in the Fourth ward.
From the result OF the election It will be
seen that the only thing accomplished by
the ticket brought out by the "CItizens'
Municipal Association " was the election OF
a colored councilman and justice OF the
peace--the first colored officers ever elected
IN Manchester. Below is the full vote:
