Jpj Sun. Friday Morning, December 13, 1878. vauieties. Fence Ijiw. Raleigh Xevi, Part of an , Editorial. Among those measures supposed by many to promise the most striking and immediate revolution in the agricultural system ofjthe State, to be followed Jbj benefit to that interest, is the enactment of a general fence law. And the argu ments in favor of such legislation cover many strong points. .Statistics, laboriously-collected, show that the cost of even tha unsightly and perishable worm fence is one of the most expensive items of rural economy, exceeding, even where timber is abundant and counted as nothing, in the item of time and labor, many fold the whole amount of taxation raised from all sources. But, as under the rapid and wasteful destruction of timber and under a prevalent habit of continually clearing and fencing new grounds, timber itself Jias now to be included as a heavy item f cost, so the expense of fencing is increased to that extent. There is no dissenting voice in the tes timony which comes from the counties in which such a law has a local operation. Expenses are at ence reduced by the ab andonmeHt of fences, stock are improved by being kept up and made the subjects o, closer personal attention. Lands are improved by increased facilities for collect ing larger supplies of aaimal manures ; and waste lands are put in process of restora tion by the withdrawal of the animals who obstructed or destroyed the growth of young trees, making that effort to reclothe the land with the forest, the sourcerof an ginal fertility and value, and, in its renew al, the only hope of future resuscitation. liut there are on the other hand, large sections of the State, where torest, and not agricultural, interests predominate ; where the immense pine belt, though varied with productive, arable ) lands, is yet the reli ance for that industry which is one of the peculiar characteristics of North Carolina; or the grand forest region of the mountain section, offering in its spontaneous, wealth of herbage tempting encouragement to pas turage and the inexpensive Vearing of lim itless herds and flocks. To fetter either of these sections by a law which would be advantageous to other parts of the State, would bp the very tyranny of legislation. AH, therefore, that the Legislature ought to dffall it can justly do is to .give every encouragement to such counties as wish to imitate the practices of such others as have adopted fence laws, by passing, without unnecessary restrictions, such bills as arc presented for such purpose; or to pass irne general enabling law, similar in its nature to that authorizing the creation of corporations without the necessity of any other formal, public act ot Assembly. Mistaken Economy. New York Herald. The Postmaster General has informed Congress that the appropriation for his de partment will be insufficient to enable him to continue the postal car service after January 1. The law allows him to exer cise discretion only in two items Of mail railroad transportation namely, the es tablishment of service on newly construct ed routes and the use of postal cars. The former would be an indefinite saving, de pendent wholly on the opening of new railroad routes, while the latter would be a definite and ascertained curtailment of expenses, Moreover, it woulS be more just and impartial to decrease the general postal accommodation than to withhold the extension of the service from new rail . road routes. There oufht to he onlv one j motive for the refusal of Congress to in crease the postoffice appropriation by the addition of a special amount for the postal car service, and that is to save money the expenditure of which docs not bring commensurate public advantages Hut if the postal cars are discontinued one of two results . is unavoidable either the mails which are gathered shortly before a railroad train leaves a distributing point must be held over for a later train for as sortment or a very largely increased force must be employed inside the distributing office to do the labor of assorting with rap idity. In the one case the public gen erally be inconvenienced and that the busi ness interests of the country will be in jured, while in the other case the em ploy- men t ot auuitionni clerks will cost as much money as the postal cars. As the appro, priation, as now fixed, is not large enough te enable the department to increase the clerical force the proposed economy will impair the efficiency of the postal service and occasion more loss and inconvenience to the public than would be compensated by the saving of fifty times the cost of the postal cat1 system. The IMlllcuUies or Great Britain. ' The cable ia laden -with repeated con firmation of the striking sketch recently givem by a .London correspondent of the difficulties that beset Great Britaiu's trade and'finances. The changes in the cotton market are very remarkable and signifi cant. Between 1820 and 1872 the qnin quennial increase in the exports 6f British cotton manufactures ranged from 22 to 43 per cent., equal to from 4.4 to 8.6 per cent, per annum. Between 1872 and 1877, on the contrary, the increase was only 9 per cent., or 1.8 per cent, per annum. In 1842 the total cotton' consumption of the world was 2,514.000 bales, of which Great Britain took 1,372,000, or 54 cent, of the whole. In 1877 the total consumption was 7.108, 000 bales, of which Great Britain took 3,149,000, or 44 per cent. The United States now manufacture more bales of cot ton that Great Britain did in 1842. Since , of cotton has only increased 400,000 bales, wkile that of the continent of Europe; the United States and India has increased 1,250,000 bales. The consumption of cot ton in Great Britain last year gas 186,000 bales less than it was in 1873. The de cline which these figures mark may be assumed to be more or less permanent, since all the countries that have ceased to Like British cottons, or have reduced their imports of it, have done so in consequence of manufacturing for themselves.

At the late exhumation of tlie bodies of Beethoven and Schubert from their graves in Waehringer Cemetery, in Vienna, the. fine, delicate, almost feminine head' of Schubert contrasted strangely with the massive, thick, bony and great brain-holding skull of Beethoven. The bumps of musical talent were missing in both at least in. those places wh'.-fo bump theorists put them. Schubert had still thirteen teeth and Beethoven fourteen:' The form er's skull showed nlore perfect proportions than the latter "s. C riminal .Hysteric. The York (Pa.) Daily states that on Saturday last Miss Christian Herman, aged 33 years, daughter of Mr. Fred. Herman, residing in Heidelberg township, Aork county, about six miles from Hanover, walked to that town, where she did some shopping, and about 2 o'clock in the after neon started homeward. On the, way she stopped at the residence of Jtcuben Sny der, about three-fourths of a mile from her home. At this place a number of persons assembled in the evening for the purpose of engaging in singing. She mingled with the party until about 8. .o'clock and then left for home. About 10 o'clock Sunday morning her dead body was discovered in the road about a, quarter of a mile from her home. The skull was crushed and the brains were exposed to view. The lower jaw was fractured and the cheeks were cut and bruised. Her head was pressed into the ground,"' indicating -that the wounds were inflicted with great -force while she was lying down. There were no signs of any struggle or resistance, and the body, with the exception of the head and fice, was free from cuts, scars or bruises. Near by were discovered a chestnut club and a piece of wood, both covered with blood, with which the murder had doubtless been committed. A jury of inquest rendered a verdict that the deceased was "willfully and maliciously murdered by person un known to the jury." A tramp giving the name of Alexander Osbonjc was arrested in York Monday on suspicion of having, some, connection with the murder, and is now held to wait developments. On .Sunday week last Miss Mary E. Davis, a younglady, living with Leonard J. Timmons, in Pittsville, Wicomico coun ty, Md., visited her mother, about two miles distant, and after remaining an hour or so started to return home. About sun set she was found by her "brother lying dead about three hundred yards from her moth er's house. A jury of inquest rendered a verdict that the deceased came to her death from causes unknown, to the jury. With tho exception of a slight chill, which she had a dav or two before, Miss Davis was apparently in good health, -and her death is involved in mystery, as there were no marks of foul play on her body. Xot True it is Hoped. Xtir York Sun. "Washington, Dec. 10. The prepara tion of a river and harbor bill : came up in an informal conversation at the meeting of the Ilou.-e committco on commerce this morning-, and the probabilities are that no such bill will be reported this session. The Democrats of'the committee feel that this bill passed at the last session -with its enormous and needles appropriations, lost more districts than it carried. They are not disposed to repeat the experiment. There are some appropriations, for works likelv to suffer during the coming vear whiclrit is considered it -would be Aviso to make, but it is not believed possible to pass a bill meeting simply the needs of harbor improvements without regard to districts. The Kleeloral Question. Baltimore Sut. Mr. Edmunds is not so confident just now that he will be attic to carry his elec toral bill through the Senate, although he does not give up hope. Some of the Dem ocratic. Senators who told him at first they would probably support it are' now in clined to change their minds. They think that as the Democratic party will have control of both' branches of the next Con gress, the disposition as to the manner of counting the electoral votes may be safely left in their hands. They have" a kind of an idea that if the Republican's were to have control of one or both branches in the next Congress Mr. Edmunds would not be at all anxious about pressing action now. The Color Line at the White House. Xetc York Herald. There seems to be no truth in the state ment variously made some time ago, to the effect that Mrs. Hayes will invite the quadroon wife of colored Senator Bruce to attend at the first Presidential reception. Ndthing at all has been discussed about it in the White House. Senator Bruce has never been invited to dine at the White House or elsewhere with a party of Sena tors. General Sherman says that if he is invited to dine with Senator Pruce he will accept. Gen Grant never invited Revels of Mississippi.v and when he gave a dinner to the St. Domingo Commissioners he left out Fre'd. Douglass. One of Augustus SchelPs nephews mar ried a niece of Tifiany, the jeweller. The young couple, George F. Tucker and wife, went to Cleveland to live. Tucker got to going with fast young bloods and since last spring has spent 20.006 of his wife's money. On Saturday there wa3 a scene at the Lake Shore depot, where Mrs. Tucker left her husband to go back to her father's in New York. . BALTIMORE AM WIIMGTOU l". Steamship Line.
