THE DEMOCRAT. WM. J. YATES, Editor and Proprietor. CHARLOTTE, N. C. March 4, 1873. The Fence Law. We publish to-day the Fence Law passed by the Legislature last week. We are indebted to 8. Wat son Reid, Esq., one of our Representatives, for .a manuscript copy of the law in advance of its pub lication in Raleigh. The law only applies to a few counties Mecklen burg, Cabarrus, Orange, Alamance and Person. It was gotten up and passed at the instance and sugges tion of Mr licid. Our subsc ribers had better preserve this copy of the Democrat containing the law, for future refer ence. Fairs. We publish some interesting information to the people of this section of the State in regard to the Fair of the Carolina at Charlotte. We must all pull together and make the next Fair here a grand success. The people of Raleigh and the section Hurrounding are striving to instill new life into the State Fair and make it more creditable than hereto fore, and it is right and proper they should do so, and sustain it by their own means the State Fair should be held nt Raleigh. But the people of Char lotte and surrounding country should also exert themselves to make the Fair of the Carolinas credit able to Western North Carolina and the adjoining counties of South Curolinu. Talk, work and pay for it. The Western N. C. Railroad. As so much has been said in certain quarters uhoiit fraud, rings, &c, in regard to the sale of the Western N. C. Railroad, and inasmuch as we have not heretofore participated in the discu.-sion of the matter (not knowing enough about the affairs of that Road to express an opinion), we have copied in full the Report of the committee of the Legisla ture to examine into the management of the lioad, which committee reports that there is no fraud or swindling connected with t lie management. See JCi port on our second page. Who Knows? Whs the annual meeting of the Stockholders in the Into Hank of North Carolina held in January hint? Why was not general notice given of such meeting? If the meeting was held what was done? How are the a Hairs of that Bank being wound up ? At the close of the war the Bank had on hand over fl'JM.(KH) in specie what was done with it? Who know anything about the management, and who will give information on the subject? As an indi Tilual stockholder, and in behalf of other fctock LoMers, we respectfully ask for information. Will the It ilt igli papers please copy the above. A Sensible Man. The subscriber who wrote us the following letter hhows that he is a sensible man and knows what's piod for himself and family: Editor Democrat : For the enclosed $2.50 ou wi. I please take that ugly x mark off my paper. By the way, that mark reminds me that myself and f.nnily have been reading the "Democrat''' twelve inontli for two dollars ami liftv cents. Now lets if it has paid ? Allowing euie week for "Christ mas holiday," (whieh all Editors and printers are entitled to.) and one week for mail failures, then have fifty papers annually. Tne "Democrat" h is an average of Vi columns ef reading matter, and twelve squares in a column. That gives Us 7,,,l)0 sepia res of reading matter annually, winch, at live cents per sepi are, ('shamefully below the value," as the Auctioneer would say,) gives us the nice little aggregate of SflHK) woith of reading for lwe dollars and lift)' cents ! Then we find that it pays hand mely. S, Mr E litor, you may consider me a life nubscrihtr. I take six papers (including the Demo crat) and consider it one of the best investments proportion.ibly that can be made. ' . Very respectfully, &c. Davidson College, Feb. 25, 1673. If the several columns of small type used in the Democrat were in the usual large" type, it would nuke 18 columns of reading matter. tW We see that the Commissioner or Referees appointed to sell the Wil., Char. & Ruth. Railroad, ailvertjsein the Wilmington papers that the Road will be sold in Wilmington on the 10th of April next. We presume the Referees expected the newspapers outside of Wilmington to advertise the pah- gratis, and therefore we make this notice for public information. m ... m- HT Tuesday (March 4th) President Grant will be inaugurated for another femr years! term as Presi dent of the United States, and Henry Wil son as Vice-President. w Snow.

The Supreme Court of North Carolina has de cided that the Act of the Legislature of 1871-T2, taking from the Governor the authority to appoint the State Directors in Railroads, Asylums, fcc., was unconstitutional, and that the Governor's ap pointees are the legal and lawful officers of the Asylums and in the Railroad Companies where the State is entitled to representation. But in the case of the appointment by the Governor of Battle as Superintendent of Public Instruction, in place of Mclver, the Court holds that Mclver shall hold the office inasmuch as the person elected to that posi tion at the late August election died before beins qualified. All other officers and Directors appointed by the Legislature (including the keeper of the Capitol) must vacate and give place to Gov. Cald well's appointments. We always thought that the Legislature of 1871-72 did wrong in interfering with the Governor's authority. The following are some of the Governor's ap pointees who now go into office: Insane Asylum Wesley Whitaker, Richard C Badger, Jeff Fisher, Dr. J G Ramsay, J P Prairie, Geo W Stanton, Dr. T L Banks, CL Harris, J W Hexnl, colored, G W Brodie, colored, TGeo Walton, Henry Walser and W R Myers. Institution for the Deaf and Dumb and tlie Blind John Nichols, J N Bunting, T F Lee, Handy Lock hart, colored, and Albert Johnson. Penitentiary .Gen. Alfred Dockcry.G W Weiker, John K 1 la rriseni, Jacob S Allen, Wiley D Jones. The Celebration at Charlotte on the 20th of May, 1875. The one-hundredth anniversary of the Mecklen burg Declaration of Independence of May 20th, 1773, will be celebrated in this City on the 20th of May ne thousand eight hundred and seventy-five. Dr. J. G. M. Ramsey, the historian, (recently a citi zen of this county, but now living near Knoxviile, Tenn.,) called our attention to the matter some time ago, and we promised him to bring it to public notice in due time. And wcare pleased to see that Mr Johnston, the Representative from Buncombe county, introduced the following resolutions in the Legislature on the subject, which were adopted : Whereas, The enunciation of eternal principles of free government in America was first made, and a declaration ot the independence of this State from the British Crown was first promulgated, in the City of Charlotte, on the ever memorable 20th day of .May, A. D. 1 7.". And whereas the blood of American freedom was first shed on the soil of North Carolina in sup port and maintenance of those great principles, euimiuating in the establishment ef the indepen dence and sovereignty of the American Statos of this Union. And wiiercas it respectfully behooves the people of this State the decendants of those fearless Patriots who were the tirst in America, in defence of the principles ejf liberty and free goverment, te pledge "their lives, their fortunes and their sacred hemor," and who by their subsequent valor, hero ism and endurance made good those sacred pledges to celebrate in an appropriate manner the cen tennial anniversary of the Mecklenburg Declara tion of Independence, which gave birth to a nation of freemen and the establishment of a" Republican government on this Continent. And whereas, it is chemed eminently proper and fitting that the completion of the eventful century succeeding this Declaration of Independence, mark ed as it has been by a progress in the arts ami science, unequalled in the history of the world, shall be commemorated by an exhibition of the natural resources of the State, which one hundred years ago was consecrated to free government. And whereas, no place is so appropriate for such an exhibition, as the historic city in which occurred the great event it is designed to commemorate ; and whereas the exhibition should be an event in whieh the people of the whole State should participate and receive the sanction of tha General Assembly ef North Carolina ; therefore, Tne General Assembly of North Carolina do re solve. 1st. That an exhibition of the arts, and of the products, resources and manufactures of thu State, shall be held ill the city of Charlotte, including the 20th day of May, in the year eighteen hundred and seventy-five. 2nd. That a Commission to consist of the Gov ernor ami three delegates from each Congressional District of this Suite, whose functions shall cou linuc until the close of the exhibition, shall be con stituted, whose duty it shall be to prepare and superintend the execution of a plan for holding the exhibition, and after conference with the authorities of the city of Charlotte, to fix upon a suitable site in or near said city, where the exhibition shall be held. 3rd. That said delegates shall be appointed by the General Assembly at its tirst session after the pas sage of these resolutions. 4th. That the Commission shall hold its meetings in the city of Charlotte, and a majority of its mem bers shall' have full power to make all needfull rules for its government. 5th. That the Commission shall report to the General Assembly at the first session after its ap pointment, a suitable date for opening and closing the exhibition ; a schedule ef appropriate ceremon ies for conducting the same; and such other plans as in their judgment may be important. 6th. That no compensation shall be paid to Com missioners or other officers provided by this resolu tion from the Treasury of the State.nor shall the State be liable foi any expense by reason of the same. 7th. That whenever thej Governor shall be in formed by the authorities of the city of Charlotte that provision has been made for said exhibition and for the exclusive control by the commission herein provided tor, of the proposed exhibition, he shall make proclamation of the same setting forth the time at which the exhibition will open and the place at which it will be held ; and he shall extend to the President ot the United States, the Heads of the various Departments of the Government at Washington, and the Governors of all the Slates and Territories of the Union, an invitation to at tend said Exhibition. m t Superior Courts.

Copied from the Recoups for the Charlotte Democrat. A CT to be entitled An Act relating to Fence and for the protection of Crops. ' Sec. 1.

Sec. 4. In case any animal is found upon the premises of another in violation ejf the provisions of this act, such persons may take the same and confine it upon the premises, and he shall be allowed to plead by way of counter-claim to any action brought for the recovery of the said animal, or damage for its detention, the damage which have been done by the animal while on his land in violation of the provision of this act, and shall have like remedy for expenses incurred in taking, keeping and caring for the same. Sec. 5. The Board of Commissioners ot the several counties of Person, Orange1, Al:. mance, Cabarrus and Mecklenburg are here by empowered and directed to meet in their several counties on the first Monday in July, 1873, and cause to be published a notice in all the several townships of their respective counties that an election will beheld on the first Thursday in August, 1873, under exist ing laws in such counties, at which the questions to be decided shall be the adop tion or rejection of the orovisions of this act. Sec. 6. The returns of said election shall be made by the Justice ami two freeholders holding the election in the said loy,nship to the Register of Deeds of the said counties, on or before the first Monday of September, 1873, and the result shall be on that day announced b' the Hoard of Commissioners. In case a majority of the legal voters of any of the said countit.'S shall vote fer the adop tion of the provisions of this act, then the Commissioners of said county shall levy a tax, to be collected as other taxes are, aid sufficient to erect a good and substantial fence around the boundaries of said county, with nates across the public: roads where they enter i n to or pass out of the borders of such county, and when such fences are erected then this act shall have full force ami effect. Sec. 7. Should any one of the counties above named refuse to ae'eept e)f t he provis ions of this act, thrn upon the written applica tion of twenty-five farmers of any one Township in each county, the commissioners ef said county shall order an election to be held in said Township according to the pro visions in this act at. any time after giving public notice at three or more public places in said township for thirty days, and if the Commissioners of the county, the returns having been made to and examined bv them, i shall declare that a majority of the legal voters of said township have voted for the acceptance of the provisions of this act, then the provision of this act shall have full force and effect in such townships; but not until the citizens thereof shall have erected a gooel and substantial fence around its teriitoiV with gates n all the public roads where they enter into or pass out of its bor ders.

A Senator in the North Carolina Legislature, siirning his name W. L. Love, sent a note to the Editors of the Raleigh News ordering his paper to be discontinued because they did not talk about him as he desired. We hope the News will not suspend. And we will say for its encouragement that we have out-lived many such terrible blows, and can out-live a thousand more. Nil rUsperandum. .Om The Bingham Scuool. The death of Col. Win. Bingham js of course a great loss to the School, but i bis brother Robert and-Assistants are entirely coin ! petent to keep it up to its former high standing. The School opened on the 7th of February with usual good patronage. I m j How is it? The Montgomery (Alaba ma) Advertiser learns from gentlemen just returned from Texas that there are in Texas not less than ten thousand men who would be willing to work as day laborers if by so doing they could be assured of their re turn to their old homes in North Carolina, i Georgia and Alabama. People who want to move from this State will please mte the above and govern themselves accordingly. A boy named Ilalbrooks hung him self near Trap Hill in Wilkes county last week. Cause of suicide unknown. He was about 14 years old and the son of John W. Ilalbrooks. gT Prolessor Fetter (formerly of Char lotte) was thrown from a buggy near Scot laud Neck and had his leg broken.

Its Future Policy will involve important changes, some ot which are here indicated in order that the public may correctly understand its objects: 1. its premium Lists will hereafter be so arranged as to convince the Farmers and Mechanical interests, that the Society has a el tie regard for these industries. 2. No Entry Fees to be required except on Trials of speeel (if allowed.) 3. The Free Ticket or Bead-Head System to be largely reduced, it not wholly abolish ed, and in lieu thereof, so soon as the Fin ances will permit, a liberal "Stockholder's Ticket" (free) be substituted, or the rates tif all tickets greatly reduced. 4. An allowance to the members of the old Society (the M. Y. & C. A. & M.,) of the full amounts respectively paid by them, in the stock ol this Society ; entitling each on paying only 53 to a full Share ($5) of the present Slock. 5. The speedy organization of correspond ing Societies and Clubs, whose members are their representatives, and have all the rights and privileges of this Association, on such terms as may be mutually agreed upon. G. The hoi. ling of slated meetings or con ferences of its Stockholders (in addition to its Fairs) for a practical interchange of views on Agricultural and Mechanical Top ics; with the hope, in due time, of chang ing such assemblies into Free Exhibitions at the Fair Grounds, lor the inspection, ex change or sale of rare and valuable home products; especially choice seeds, superior stock, etc., &(!. What should he done? To obtain these desirable eiuls, it is necessary the Society should be put on a sound footing. It is particularly import ant that it should become permanent in its existence, and comprehensive in its extent and influence. This has heretofore been its policy. It has large and handsome Grounds, extensive and well suited build ings; a perfect organization, and every in cident necessary to a successful Agricul tural Society. To secure these results it has not hesitated to use all its available in come, but also its credit te a very large extent. Its Grounds, iuihling3 ami Im provements have cost over $20,0X00, not in cluding half as much more paid out lor labor, premiums, advertising, &c. Bad weather at beth of its Fairs largely cut oft its receipts, and left it in debt about $13, 000. In this state of things, the managers do not think it safe or just to attempt hold ing another Fair until this debt is some what reduced. They could easily carry half of it over another year. What is waxtkd. They, therefore, lay the tacts plainly and frankly before the people interested, and appeal to a generous public, to come to their help in raising by subscriptions to the stock of the Company, a sum sufficient to discharge half of this debt, say $6,500. Without this relief, they cannot risk anoth er Fair. With it they offer the best and most attractive Premium List and Pro gramme ever presented to this section of country. The Grand Cextexxial Exhibition of 1875. Important as has been this Society and its Fairs to the City of Charlotte, to the county of Mecklenburg and to the Yadkin ami Catawba region, they are now doubly so, in view of the movement to hold here a Grand Centennial Exhibition in 1875, to celebrate the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence of May 20lh, 1775. This Society could furnish the grounds, the equipments, ami all the details just to hand. Will our fiiendsin the two Carolinas, so immediately ami largely interested in these events and movements, longer hesitate to conic up to the noble and patriotic duty before them ? Plan of Operations. We propose to raise this sum at once,, by authorizing each officer, Vice President and Director, as well as the Agents hereafter named, to go round with subscription lists, in their respective localities, and make an earnest appeal to all to help. If each would spend only one day at honest, patriotic, hard work in the effort, the sum would be raishd. The subscriptions may be in cash, or in notes payable next Fall. No steck to issue till the money is paid. Agents and others will always give receipts for money collected, and make prompt re turns to T. L. Vail, Treasurer, Charlotte, N. C, who will furnish all necessary blanks, if requested. Until these parties are heard from, no definite steps cau betaken in re- I gard to the Premium Lists, or the certainty of another Fair. Agents and others will be ! allowed compensation sufficient to cover ex I pen so and loss of time say in ordinary cases," five per cent on amount collected. ! 15y the Charter, no one can be an officer, Vice I'resident or JJirector, except a diock holder; but by a unanimous vote of the Society, it is deemed sufficient, if the gentle men named become such before acting. The shares are only ?5 each, and each share is entitled to one vote. In due time the Secretary will prepare and publish a correct list of all subscribers to both the old and the preseut Society.

Premium Safety Oil. 1 Davidson Coi.lkge, N. C, Feb. 10, 1873. Wilson tfc Black: I to-day tested the Denslow & Bush "Premium Sacety Oil," which I obtained from you last Saturtlay, ami found it to stand afiro test of 133 deg. F. But as these figures vary a good deal for different modes of applying the tettt, (a tiling well known to Chemists who have experi mented with Oils,) I will say that, tried under pre cifdy simitar circumstances, the Denslow & Bush Oil stood 10 deg. F above Pratt's Astral Oil, ami 40 cleg. F above; West's best quality. It give a beautiful soft white light, not excelled by any other form of artificial light in common use. These re sults accord with my previous experience with thh Oil, and I eh not hesitate to recommend it as the safest ami le!-t I have ever seen in this market. Respectfully yours, W. J. MARTIN.
