THE SENJTNPEL TO PU1BLISHED 11*ER lty atSoAt PICKENS 0. Y., S. C: Xlirsday, August 18, 1877. i t 'sury Law. th #,ato Grango, which has just lofed its suriier sessio6i'at Anlorson C. 1., discussod pro and con the pro, priety'of ro-onacting a usury law for this State. The sentiment of a largo rmajority of the body, we are told, was in javor of the law. The only oppo si3tiqu to the law seems to have CoWO tw might havo been expected, from Charleston. Sonator Gary, from Edge fiold, and oth6rs, made speechos in favor of the law. We havo not boon agrooing with Gary on sovoral impor tant questions lately, but thi, is a quep tion upon whio.h we are fyll.y in accord with him. In the Senate, at tho last sssion of tho Ganert%,Ascmbly, Gen. Gary made a strong fight for 'the re tnactmont of the old law, and it was carried almost unanimously in that body. But wo remember what an alarm it croated anbongst the capital ist in Charloston, and how they flock od by dologation to Columbia to do feat the measure in the 1ouse, and how many of the 1iddlo' and low country members woro cajoled by tbom. The factors woro especially delegated to sco those in6mbers and inform then that if the bill became a law it would be imposiblo for them to furnish the plantors in their ' seo tions with su)plios to.make their crops in the future. The plantors in the middle and low country virtually be long to the factors and capitalist of Charloston. A plantor'in that section never knows how ho stands financially until ho is informed by hiis, ffActor. lie never handl108 any of the cash realized from the sale of his produce, and when be pays a debt, he does it by an order on his factor in Charleston. All of his r, bacon, flour and other .plan tation supplies are ordered through his factor, ..to whomi all the cotten and rico is consigned in the fall when gathered. The factor sells the cotton and rico, pays b.irnself for advances made, with a heavy interest added, and then chargo storoageand a heavy commlfUison for eff'ecting the sulo. Thus the planters of the middle and lower sections of the Stato are virtu ally made slaves to the capitalist of Charleston, and are eiher scared or forced into voting for such moasures of legislation that benofits Charleston onlyto the injury of themselves and the balance of the State. When the pro posed re-enactment of the old usuiry law came f romi the Senate to the House, it at first had a large majority of that body in its favor, and we were under the impression that it would pass without much opposition. But a sufficient number of members dero soon bulldozoil7 Sy~lio Charleston capitalists cornmitteo, to postpone the ihrther consideration of the bill' until next session. This gives the capitl% ist a breathing spell and time to ar range their modo of attack when it comes up for considoration xooxt win, ter. The postponement was a victory for them, and by the accession of seven toen memrbers fromi that coun ty they will bo hard to defeat. The up coun try members, whose constit,uoney are not dependent upon Charleston capi, tal, we trust, will mako a solid and united move along the lines next WIn tor, and tear loose the grip of th.&cap italist from the throats of the planters of South Carolina. The want of a usury law has boon' a twin evil of the lien law, arnd the two' together have done more to banikrupt and ruiin the State than all the other bad legislation in the State since the war. The lien law has been repealed and takes effect the 1st of January next; but the pros perity of the State will not be assured until a stringent qsury law is enacted. With the combined strengt;h' of' the capital of Charleston and the fotos of the low country members in the Log-, islature, it will be hard w ork to enaot the law; but by theocombined and sy49eMaltiC co-operation ot the Giran--. goe and the up contry members, ft .may. be possible to wary it, though the fight -is .going to be fierce and doubtfOl. The O1& Don1inionx. The Deomocratic Convention, which soeenbied in lZichmond, Va., last week aftt an exei&Ing session, nominated Col. Holiday for G~o~VerOr,& The Stikers - The strikors have boogk subduod by military power, and their condition now is a great deal worse than bMfore they struck. They gainod nothing in thp wiay Qf an advance in wages, while they lost the confidence and sympathy of the better class of people. Their comunistic principlos, if succostful, would subvert civil governmont, do stroy society and bring -narchy and ruin upon the peopl,e. Their recent conduct was a long stride towards empire in this country, Already the contralista are crying out for an in, creaso of the army to 100,000 men, and the placing of the militia of the States un1der the control of tho gon oral Government. The wai of the strikers is a fino protext for this do inand and if it is onco conceded, then the man in the White HousO at Washington will only have to declaro himsolf etuporor, and sustain his an thority by the power of hit vast, mili tary force. It is evident that the contralists will, under specious pro, texts, rako a strong move on Con gross at its noxt session for an increase in the rogular army, and the enact Went of such laws as will enable then, at the proper time, to wipo out State lines, with all the power of govern mont controd at Washington. This is their aim. We think thoy will not Succood iiow, but a fvow mpore strikes like the recent one will 6nablo theim to accolplilhi what, they now Ovident ly design. Gomg To Disband It is annonnced from Washington that tho prominent, Republicans of South Carolina, sojourning inl that place, who generally direct and con trol tho movements of t1e party in tho SLato, are discu-ssiig the proprioty of f,llowing he exaiplO of the party in Mississippi and di:band their organization. They say that it is usoloss to attompt a defoat of the Domocratic party through a party organization, and their best policy will be to encourage a split in the Democratic ranks, support one of the fact,ions anid eventually regain con trol of the Governinont in this way. We suspect that there are other causes operatinig, which renders the dlisbanId, ing of tihe party necessary. The11 sud den discovery of tiho pr1ominenlt leader's that it is essentially necessary to their hoalth to emigrate to a more North orn climo, loaves tho party without brains sufficient to work itu umchiinuryv and, as a cornequcncc, a thsband mont will tak(e place without any formal action on their par t. The Stato e4ection in Ohio, which comes oli this fall, promises to l.o an exciting one. The Republicans, to (atch the strikers vote, have inserted a communistic plank in their lahtfIOrm. Thyreccom mend that Congress es tablish an Indust,rial Bureau, for the employment of unemployed workmen, and thlat Congress regulate the price of wages on railroads and in mineos also charges for freight and passengers on the railroads. If these principles were carried out, the capital of private individuals employed in r ailroads and minos, as well as tihe bone and musc!o employed on thoem, would no longer be tile property of individuals to wvhomn thley no0w belong. .Both would become subjects of the gontral government, anid thore would be absolutely no free dom for oither. Tis is another strike of L,bo cenitralist.s, represented b)y the RQIpublican par-ty, for em)pire. The Grangers Keeting at Anderson. The summor meeting of the State Grange and the Agricultural Society, at Anderson C. II., closed their sos, sion on Friday the 11th inst. The meeting was a very interesting one, and far'goly attonidol. The sulbjcCts3 of' usury, f'enco law, railroad fr'eighlts, manufa&cturing, the uso0 of commercial fertilizers, etc., wore discussed, and the meeting appears to have boon a harmonious and profitable one. The next summer meeting is to ba h6ld at Spartanburg C. H. The State Agri oultural and Mechanical Society agreed to hold the next fair at Columns bia. Resignation of Leo .
