White the I'fixg oy.ii l'.nnmf thinks the I.eglsiature ac'cd v. is lv in refusing to repeal the lien law, there are many most excellent vlt'zens who fed thoroughly convinced that the Men law J?- a great hindrance to our pro 1 crity us lndivii!ua!s:ui!lasii people. The law. it seems to us. can iiurt only those who avail lhe:raclvcs of the pri > ilexes which it grunts. ?> ?! we Thin I: it. certain that a very iar^e per rent, of liic farmers who a:'e oMIj. ?m1 to buy their supplies on a cr<dlt \v: 11 be Ludly hut!. We leave each one to say by what lit- is him?whether it I* by a failure' to grow hisown si!|.piles, or whether it is by the liw. The iv.-cal of he lien law. wo think, i-. a very serious quest ion. and one which demands carefui sind t!n u^Iitful consideration. Jf that law should be repeal-il many while us will us colon <1 farmers wcnM besonly il i - tressed for food on which to make the next crop. If tlie moneyless firmer should be listii<)'e to buy <>n bis own credit, the ownr r of the land wliich he cultivate-- will have to furnish it, and whenever our farmers adopt Hie plan of mortzaslm: their bind forsuppih-s lor laborers It will beonlya question of time as t > when the firm wlil cjmo under the Sheriff's hammer. One argument which we have heard In favor of the repeal of the lien law, is,that with that law abolished, ihc landowner could 'control labor." Tbls iea<o:ilns is as fa!laclous as It is deceptive. No power on earth rati re-establish slavery, and'if It did do so by Statute, there is no power that can make in liidnletii man tner^-e'ic: Ihere is no khowu means of tmnsP.rmir.c the unreliable citizen J:j!o ii trustworthy servant. As a rule, we think no laborer .should ho Allowed to remain ??:i a farm or elsewhere, on lh? premises of another, alter he erases tn he loyal his employ, r. In a country where every man Is ticlinwlcJged to bo free ami equal before the law. there should In our opinion, he no such tliiug as ''controlling labor," except by money r.nd upon business principles. A'"control of luhor" which 1< (involuntarily given, and which is maintained by force of law, is slavery, pure and simple. The educational intcre>*s of the country >ce:n to be safe, a-id tliose who would close the doors of our State institutions of learning are In such a hopeless minority as to be harmless to the public pood. Ordinarily when a faction Is. fairly beaten, they rest awhile, but In ttic cu.-e of those wbo oppose the higher education of the poor boys, they never cease to make war on ihe State Institutions although each year their numbers are decreasing while the numbers of those who stand i>y the State institutions are Jnercasing. The ro-'ent vote against the appropriation for the South Carolina College was most assuring, wid e the fcble opposition could muster only the smallest following. Their numbers being s i small, lhat no hope ot killing the public institutions of learning, could bo rtaronably cntertaini'd by any of them, it would seem that they would cripple the Institution which they cannot strangle. Sia-.-e they cannot kill the College, why should they not gracefully yield their; oppiiSUiOn, nau icuu uieir uiu IU it to the best nttvsmtage the | ublic and lor J lis iirentfM bcneOi totlieyonth o.'the country. Tlio Legislature In Its wisdom refused to reduce the lawful rr.ie of Interest from ten to seven per cent. This. we ihl'ik, was on error so fur us benefit to the debtor ciass is con- ( remc l, an J we would prefer lo see u law in force which would p:o!iibit the charging of more than sovc# per cent. If we could have i.a:l our own way in the matter we woukl have preferred to see the! 1 tw repealed which exempts factories from tnxHtion. We think t!ie law not only unjust but contrary to t!jc provisions ot the ConstI- i li?!!on. | Upon the whole however, we think the peo-' pie have reason to be pleased with the work j of the session uj> to this time, and we lia\e no ( Jcars of the enn.-tmont of any law which will b -hurtf.d to us or detrimental to the public j iuterests. This, we believe to be a good L-.g-: Mature. Charleston and Railroads. The Abbeville J'rrsi mnl Dnivier remarks: "Very much 10 our surprise, and otitmly at variance with its history since the war, <'har!pston is now imi resstd with the necessity of build n>! a n *w ruiltoad."

There can be no douht tint the News and C-iarirr is good tit claiming things in n general way, though it is not clear to us from the ?:have, which of the railroads the Nnas and fbtirier claims was built "largely through the MibKcrlptlons of Charleston'' since the war. The Urc-envllio and Columbia Railroad, we have always thought, was built before the war, and largely through our own subscriptions. The people along the line of the road owned nearly all the stock, except what was owned by the State, though C harleston may have contributed something to its building, ? a;nd if bo we make due acknowledgment tor the lavor. We wou'.d not deny any meed of credit to Charleston, but if Charleston had taken a niose active part than she did in the building of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad there would now be less necessity forthe Midland route,as, with much help from Charles ton. the Gicenvlile una Columbia k<>;iu wouiu not have corne thirty miles out of the direct route to Ret our subscriptions. While ?o know nothing as to the exaet amount which Charleston may have subscribed to our rond yet with ail due respect to the opinion of the jfetvs and Courier, we are Inclined to believe that that city did not Rive us a cent by way ? of subscription, though she may as a matter of speculation have bought some of the bonds of the road, Just as site buys bonds and stocks Hi any time which may be on the market Wo hope tha.* it was no sin for our people to look to Charleston in the recent past to help them reach that city by a new rail route, and since the iWuj and OmrUr makes its great show of what Charleston has done for the railroads. It seems that we might have received a few dollars from that city, with which to turn one of our roads In that direction. If they had wanted our trade. But if ( harleston, before the war, built enough roads to answer her purposes, or If she care not to traile with us now. we certainly have no right to complain, and do not complain. While we preferred to have our road run to Charleston, our faces, against our will, are turned to a city outside of the State. It seems to be a great pity that our grandfathers in the low country spent so much money lu railroad bulMin?, a little money now spent by the grand-children would m> Anther than It did in the olden time. Wo do not l?y any possibility sec where Charleston has lost ten million dollars by r.iilI , 1u,.,l iiwlinml to ill" llcve ttio .Vein* and Courier I * mis!ak-n in plncing Charleston's Investments in railroad building at $10,W),'Of), though if that paper ppeaks from the records or from Information weyelld tin'j oint. Without kuowivgtlie fiict weassume that all the railroad property In yio State, at the close of tie war, was not worth Hint amount of money. The Xcirs awl Courier confront* us with a familiar statement that Charleston is debt-rlclden, and is unable to subscribe for railroads, which statement is, to our mind, in stranjre contrast with that paper's "View of the Industrial I.lfe of the .State," as published in February last. From a hasty glance at that report we fail to see wherein Charleston is not as prospeious us any other part of the State. We do not understand what the Xeus and Courier means by sayini; "it ill becomes the I'resx and Banner," etc., but take It for granted that It was merely thrown in a1* a liltls* plensui tiy, and us sneli weae-ept it.

I j We be'.ieve there is not a more unjust! law on our Statute books than the drainage] I law in lw present, form. In the first place, the j J people are required to "remove from the runI "nlng streams of water upon (heir lands all' |"tra>h, trees, fafis, n;:d timber, during the [ "months <>: March and S^ptemncr." This de- j nles to the owner of lai.ds the free use or the! i sitiic. It requires him to (to into the stream' to make the removals In the month of March,] j which is the most unsuitable month in the j year. The water is higher and colder. The: I owner of the l.imt is required to incur thiscx-1 pense, whether it is of tiny profit to him or not?hi* neighbor twins: sole Judge. "Upon j .

Desiring to utilize the i land for agricultural purposes ho sought per-1 ; mission to dig a drain ditch through tlicj swamp latrl ot a neighbor, 'ihe long ditch ! was dug through ills neighbor's swamp lund j | at Mr. Chenthnm'.s own expense. The result i j was the reclamation of his own and his uclgli-1 | bor's bottoms, which f?>r productiveness is all ! Hint anybody could wish. j We suppose there Is not on record an Ini stance where n neighbor would not grant permission lor the removal of logs and rafts from | Ills stream, and it may be saiely relied on that [ such permission will always be granted, and this is rill that any man has a right to ask. j After having had some experience with j streams and bottom lands, we are Inclined to ; the opinion that there is a common error in supposing that the straightening of streams and the removal of obstructions is sure to be if benefit. On the contrary, we believe that much of our best lands would soon be ruined | by any such co.nse. "That the oursc of aj I "river should not be in a dircct line to the son, i "was wisely ordered by the Creator; for Its ["various windings render the descent more i "gradual, and the current less rapid and dej "." tractive." As the stream is straightened the > force and destructlveness of tlie volume oi water is Increased, and, as a result, the lands ' are more jrrcmtiy damased. Another matter. If the streams are so stralg'itcncd, and the obstructions so far removed as to prevent the | water from overflowing and fertilizing the j land, the constant production of crops, will, I : in a lew years, impoverish the land to such an j extent as to deprive It of much of the great j value which It possessed when fertilized by i the Rlifniii during the wet seasons If we have sufllclent drainage, and can so obstruct the water as to prevent groat Injury by wash- J ing, the Improvement of the laud Infertility' will overcome slight Injuries by overflows. In many instances, a stream should not run through the middled the low land. It should skirt the hill, on one side, and on the opposite side of the bottom from the crick, and close to tho opposite bill, there should be a diain ditch. Let no man treat water as though It were a deadly poison to his land. I.et no man make a ditch or gully In the lowest pla^e on the hill side. An open ditch b< tweer. two hills, Is a receptacle for all the soil on either side, and into which It will be sure to go sooner or later, when It will be carried oil to our creeks and rivers, where it will be forever lost. A syste m of tcrrnces for our hillsides as well as lor our streams, Is our saf? ty. Of course in c.!ses where streams are slugf i>h, and the ds of the channels are inclined o ill: u|> Willi mud and sand the straightening process Is ihe only le h f.

Though wo may difl'er in opinion as to what is best for the good name of this people, we would heartily reeipiccate ihe Ileruld's kindly regard for the Press and Banner. The Democratic party. In all probability, is in power j In this .State, for all time to come. The ques tion as to otir future policy may not be so def j iuiiely settled.

These extmets from thv Revised Statutes cletrly denote tlml the unction of ihc Legislature was to make a charge for tui'ion In all the braiieh<\s ofSouth Carolina, and to provide free tuition only fur one benehelary from each comity. The Military Adndem.v lias compiled with this provision of the law, and the finest Ion arises why luiB the Sotilh Carolina Cotiese set aside the law so plainly tniid<* for ii?. government also?

No I>outh Knell. The Columbia correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution, in speuking of the dismissal of Dr. Woodrow from theTheologic d Seminary, and the unconditional resignations of Dr. uoggs ana rror. JtJCtnpniii, says : 'The action of the Board lia3 produced a decided sensation In church anil social circles ljeio, mid It is believed that the death knell of the venerable institution has been sounded and Its destruction near at hand. The decision of the board Is deprecated. Dr. Uoug'x and I'rof. Hemphill's course Is comincniicd, nnd Dr. Mac!;, who instituted the crusade against \Vo.>dro?v, is highly rebuked. In tills c!ty Dr. Woodrow is ardently upheld by uu overwhelming majority of 1'refbyterlans. I'io:. Hemphill goes to Louisville to accept a professorship in tlie Th' ologu-al Seinlnury there, and Dr. 15o';gs is not determined as to his luiure course." Predictions as to the death of the venerable Institution, are without consideration, and arc without foundation in fact. The Institution will live forever, or as long as there is a neod for it. Xo man nor any set of men ran klfl It. It is greater than tho. individual, however learned. It will not be injured by any withdrawel from the institution, and if Professsors Goggsand Hemphill had any idea of killing it by their withdrawal, they are much mistaken. Kvcn though Dr. Woodrow, by sheer lorce of intellect and by his eminent ability as a scholar nnd scientist, had been enabled to beat down the opposition In the other Synods as he did In the South Carolina at Greenville, the antagonizing of so large a proportion of his churchmen was fatal to his itiilire useiuine.-s asa icacncr in mat insiuutioir While, in our own mind, we see nothing heterodox in his speech, and while we confess that we would sooner know that wc had been made out of the clean dust of the eat til, than to be led to believe that wc had been formed from the body of n tad p-de, yet out of respect to the feelings and wishes of tliO'e eminent Christians who took such a slron* ground against the doctrine, whi"h they thought subversive or contrary to the teachings oftheDibl<?, Professor Woodrow should have resigned, and In his failure to do so, the board did right to dismiss iilm. Wc sny tliis without any reference whatever to I'r. Woodrow personally, but for the good of the Church. The Seminary could never prosper as long n* one-half or one-third or one-fourth of the church membership tookel upon the institution with distrust, nnd thought that Dr. W<*)drow taught doctrines which are at variance with the accepted faith. Honor to Mr. (Jrnydon. We see by the newspapers that our repre_ s-ntntive in the General Assembly Kills a.

We hope lie may com' niand whatever ability may be necessary to push the bill through the General Assembly. I l Is n law based on e.iaitv and iustiee. and prevents sharpers Irotn beating their greenhorn customers out oftheir Just dues. From the Xcws und Courier we take the following: INSUUANCB LAWS. Tite committee on tlie Judiciary reported unfavorably Mr. (iraydon's hill to require insurance companies doing business In this Stale to obtain a charter under the laws of the stale. The bill Was pared on tlie Calendar at tlie request of the author The committee also submitted a bill which is intended to reach the point so often argued in insurance law suits about th" value of property destroyed by Are and covercd by insurance. Under the Saw as it now stands if A Insures his house tor $10,001 uml it is destroyed by tire, the insurance company does not pay him S10.000. but the value of tlie house, provided the value is less than SlO,'*.1*!. At least this Is how the law Is understood by the insurance companies. The bill in question provides that all fi'c "insurance companies doing business in this State, which shall receive from anil after the passage of this Act tlie premium on any poin y of In-ur.ineo against loss by tire on any bouses, buildings or structures of any kind whatever, shall be estopped from denying the valueofthe houses, buildings or o-therstrueturessoiiisureilto.be tlie sum or value set forth in said policy of insurance; and shall be deemed and taken to have waivedany right they may have had to dispute the truth of the application for Insurance. as to tiie value of the said property, to the extent of thesuin specified in said policy: and the said sun: so specified and named .,?! * .....I n..An n>1.l/il> ?l>n rteotn I nmi* bit.ill have Ijooii paid, shall be deemed and taken lo lie the true value of the properly insured by the said company against loss by fire. The South Carolina University. Wo nre in receipt of the "Report of the Board of Trustees of the University of South Carolina," which contains much valuable Information iu reference to this Institution. As some of the enemies of higher education by the State have gone out of their way to malign a sister Christian denomination while misrepresenting the South Carolina College, we extract some facts from this report which will not only prove the error In the charge; that this institution Is kept up for the especial benefit of tlie Episcopal Church, but that the| facts may levcnl to such of ourcitizcns, as, choose to seo with their own eyes, the fact Hint unkind statements against the State College should bo received with some degree of allowance. On page S of the report wc find : "Seventy-six, or nearly one-half (of the stu-! dentsi, are church members. Of these 2fj are Presbyterians, 23 Methodists : 10 Baptists; o ' Episcopalians, and 3 Lutherans." The?o facts, we think, should forever set at rest any doubt on the point which has been raised ogainst the Episcopal bins and the Sou ill Carolina College. The reader can Judge from this positive and undeniable refutation of charges against the College, as to the weight that should be given to other or similar statements by the enemies of higher education to the poorer people of the Slate, llecause they happen to own a College, the State, they think, should close Its doers tolls pooraud woitliy sons. ? m i rue > digamy 01 uitclvms- looacco in Church.

Don't Mortgage the Farm. Wc sec by tlio newspapers that there Is ft demand from our farmers for Northern money to be secured by morlgugo of their farms. Wc are sorry to know this. It is generally a mistake to mortgage th<* farm under any consideration to anybody, but when such clrcuin* i stances do arise, as to necessitate doing so, It is better to deal with one's neighbors. Never borrow money from an agent ova third party. Strangers who lend us money can not, or will not, accommodate us as our neighbors do. Our neighbors will take the money at any l time, but men at u dlstaneo want it all at once. It Is better to reduce the number of ' hordes on a farm I ban to mortgage the land lor supplies to feed stock and hands. We need to pr-ictico economy in both money and time.

Tiie President sin ted that the purpose of the meeting was to settle the position of tiie .Seminary in reference to evolution. The first blow delivered in the contest, came from tiie disciples of Or. Woodrow, who opposed i lie seating <>l Rev.

Against this not ion a protest was entered by three <>i tli?- Hoard. Tiie next Mow came from the disciples of orthodoxy, who introduced the following paper: Whereas the Synods of Georgia, Alabama and South Georgia and Florida have disapproved ol' the views of I'rot. Dr. James Woodrow on the subjeetof evolution, as contained In the address submitted by iilin to the Hoard of Directors in response to their rc'iucst for him to give fully his views as (might in this institution, and have also instrnete I the Directors to take steps to prevent, the teaching of such views Id their seminary; and where as the Synod of South Carolina has disapproved oi the teaching of evolution except in a pureiy expository in-inner, without Intention of inculcating its truth; and whereas Prof. Wood row has publicly announced that If he continues to be their professor, he will hereafter teach a* probably true the hypothesis of evolution ; nvd whereas he is thus disqualified from remaining as a professor in their Seminary, and thereby rendered Incompetent to disennrue duties In which he speaks In the nam!) and by the authority of these Synods; therefore, be It 'Resolved, That this Hoard, In obedience to the above Instructions, apppoint a commit Ice, consisting of Messrs.

Yours, very respectfully. MA.MKS WOOD COW. "Perkins Professor of Natural Science In t'onI) eel I oil with ltevflulloli." A resolution was then inlrodiicod looking to the removal ot Dr. Wood row, in order to prevent his teachings and thus obey the Instructions of the Synods which control Hi Seminary. JJefore discussing the resolution, the following action was taken : That L>r. Wood row be invited to appear before the Hoard, at 7.10 P. M., to show cause why the pending resolution may not be adopted. A committee, consisting of Messrs. Adams and Law, >vere appointed to commuiiiculc the invitation to Dr. Wood row. The Board then took a recess until 7.30 P. M., at which hour tliey reassembled, when Messrs. Adams and Law make the following report: "The committee aopointed to wait on I)r. | Woodrow and put into tils hands the resolution refiuestinu hi m to appear ami shew cause why the resolution proiio-ing to remove him irom his professorship should not be adopted, ties leave to report that Dr. Woodrow replies that he do<-s n?it desire to comply with the Invitation of the Directors." After the reading of the above report the resolution proposing lo remove Dr. woodrow from his professorship was laken up, amended and adopted, as lollops : "Inasmuch as the Rev. Dr. James Woodrow, Perkins Professor, has declined to appear tiefore the Iioard ol Directors to show cause why he should not tie removed from his professorship; and inasmuch as he lias already had a (full hearing in person before three of tlieSynI uds and through his friends and advocate he I f?;rc I he fourth Synod; ami inasmuch us these Synods have already condemned ills views land teaeh'ngs on the subject of evolution; I and inasmuch as.

That the Secretary he directed to officially notify Dr. Woodrow of this action. The following resolution was also adopted: Resolved, That 111 taking I It is action the Hoard desires it to he distinctly understood that In its Interpretation of the instructions received from the Synods It does not understand that any undue restrictions shall he placed upon any professor of our Seminary, I or limitation put upon the discussion ol any | legitimate doctrine or hypoihsls; nor does I this Board ilsell desire to limit discussion on I any ^proper subject; provided, always, that .the views in< ideated shall be in accordance with the Standards ol our church. ! Immediately after thendoptlon of tbcr.hovc ! resolution, l'ev. T. H. Law asked If the Woodrow matter was disposed ol, and learning that it was, he dr<-w from his pocket and read the resignation of Kev, l)r. W. K Hoggs as Professor of Church History, who requested that I It take effect .Tunc 30, I8S">. The resignation, which seemed to have been prepared In anticipation of the action of the Board of Directors with reference to lir. W'todrow, was promptly accepted without adlssenting voice. Next Kev. W. J. McKay took from his pocket and read the resignation of Iiev. C. It. Hemphill as I'rofes'or of Biblical Literature, who requested that It take eilect July 1, 188-j. This resignation was alsoacceptcd. The Board then deteimined to meet In the latter nart of January, lss'i. tor the purpose of filling the vacant professorships. The whole ease, as presented hy Hie majority In the Hoard, Is this: Dr. Woodrow's views, in his carefully prepared address, were placed by him before the Hoard last septetii- j ocr lor Iiieir Judgment as to whether he could properly l>e permitted to leach them. The majority of the Hoard, after a two days' discussion, approved the-e teachings. The ml* noriiy protested and thl* brought the case lie- j fore the tour {Synods ownlnu and controlling the Seminary. All of these disproved of the teaching of evolution "as probably true," and j three of these Synods Instructed the Hoard to prevent such views from being taught. As] Dr. Wood row announced that if a professor, he must nllirm that evolution Is probably true, the Hoard was compelled to disobey the Instructions of the controlling Synods or else j to remove Dr. Woodmw from his professor- j ship, which latter they did, In acrordancel with the provision of the Constitution which j says "the Hoard of Directors shall have power j to remove from his otlice any professor who shall be found unfaithtul in his trust orln-j competent to the discharge of his duties." A few months have wrought a complete rev-1 olution In the position of the Hoard of Directors toward Dr. Wood row. Last. September his teachings were approved by nine mem-1 hers and opposed by four; now nine membcts ; oppoee the teachings and four approve them i ?all of the latter being from the Synod of) South Carolina, three of wliom hold over by elections previous t>> this year. The action of the lioaid created no surprise] or excitement anioin: the Seminary students,' as the le-iill. w-.is what. they expected froi the action of the Synods, on \v liieh they had been fully informed. i The discussions in the Hoard elicited no! acrimony, and the courteous nctinii of the! ao|e president.

If this Is true, we tnltik there Is little doubt but that j the people on the Georgia side will do as much. If the people will do the grading himI ! furnMi thcenMs-tles, there will be no dtfllenity in uniting th>? road equipped.

Why should not all manufacturing industries be made j beneficiaries of this policy of exemption? the industries which were truly developing the natural prosperity of the stale? Why ! not railroads, which, as In Abbeville County, had done more to develop the natural prosperity of the County than all the cotion factories of the State could do?
