Our Agricultural Interests In Dan
ger.
[From the Sumter Watchman.]
We saw, with much concern, among
the proceedings Of the Legislature, on
t]je 6th instant, a notice by Wimbush,
the Senate, of a hill to repeal the act
September, 180G, which secures liens
on the growing crop, as security lor
vnnees made for supplies to carry osi
id crop. We .vere concerned, because
0 feared that the withdrawal of the
eurity basis upon which such ndvanecs
uro mad tiould "pTit a stop to Mich
vunccs, in the main, and just at this
i8on when arrangements are being
lade for the present year's operations,
isconcert, disarrange, seriously cripple
id obstruct our agricultural interests?
tlie great b.:sis and substratum of the
rjecupcration, prosperity and development
i|f the country.
A letter .. ;fore us. from a lending
Ructomge house in Chnrleston, under
uate f>f .liimioev 7?one el enlarged
Iiborality and conservative views?one
hat advanced more than $100,000 on
iens the past year, and, under earnest
implication, was making arrangements to
irubilbly double that amount the present
hear?eoulirms our apprehensions, and
{(iiits the matter even in a more serious
irht than appeared to us at first thought.
We make the following extract from
this letter, addressed to parties ut this
place :
"We saw, tlii* morning in the duili s.
1 notice of a hill repealing the Lien Law
iof IStili. This stops nil pme'odiug
towards adv.lin es. You will pie.is ?
suspend nil issues of Inn*, its wo sh.ili j
fill no order for ad vunccs until thi> qnes- '
,;i n is settled in the As euibly. Il this
act is repealed it will nearly ruin our
planting friends, an 1 r-t ouei throw out
of employ men! 25.000 laborers."
(I the object of legislation bo the pub
lie good?-to foster mi l durcl.m the. in
E (if t in! State '
?then wo nretot..lly at a loss to discover i
the basis oil argument and reasoning for j
the proposed aeti ill.
It is so manifei't us to be apparent to
every observer, that the application of I
the limited? capital of (he country,
through the operations of ihjs. act, to the
industry of the country, has been such
as constituted it nlmost the priuie basis
of the action of the latter. A largo por
tion of the pi nting interests of the
_l
iii fruitless waste, alia giveu employment,
with fair earnings, to thousands of the
freed people. Aud very many of these
peoj-le. who, by industry aud frugality,
have been enabled, from the earnings of
the previous year, to rent or purchase
small parcels of laud for cultivation, have
secured assistance, and were now making
arrangements to secure such assistance?
which they could not otherwise obtain?
under the provisions of this act.
We know hundreds of colored men
now making arrangements to carry on
their crops the present year under this
lien la*) who, by the inevitable results
of its repoal, Mill tied their whole basis
of work in the soil for the year check
mated and their operations brought to ti
perfect standstill.
And so of hundreds of white fanners
And if the Legislature repeal this net it
cannot otherwise result than in reducing,
to ?? great extent, the agricultural pr<
ducts of the State the present year, as il
will rmount virtually to the withdrawal
of a large amount of capital from as
sistance of this great central, vital in
terest.
If, therefore, the movement, to repeal
this act be designed as a blow at the
landed interests of the State?to cripple
and obstruct this, in order to force the
sale of lands, and thus to wrest it from
tho bauds of present ownors?(and we
confess we can see uo '.'?her possible
motive)?it must not only signally fail
of its design upon this class, separately
?uiuce it will fall upon the colored a*
well as the wllitO man?and can only be
uucomplishcu by pulling an incubus up
on the industrial interests and energies
of iliu country generally,and indicting n
heavy 1<..-^ upon the earnings of tho
State at lai^e.
We cull upuu those iu authority to
pause These are the facts of thircase,
disconnected from uil political feeling ur
principle?regardless of party dp race?
and wo trust that those who now sit in
the councils of the State will uot exhibit
themselves so bliuded and prejudiced by
partisan feeling as to rush wildly into a
me?suro like this, regardless of the com
mon good.
Story of a Governess in England.
A correspondent of the London Tele
graph vouches lor the tollo?;??? ?" ?*
true story :
"A few days ago 1 stood by the side
of a dying girl, her ago was seventeen,
an this s her history: She was the
youngest child in a large family. Her
mother w as the widow of a clerk in a
city bank, who died suddenly, leaving
his wile and children destitute Her
sisters went out as governesses ; she re
mained at homo until increasing want
rendered it necessary for her, too, to
make her own living. She iouud em
ployment as a daily governess. She
walked each day four mihs to and from
her work, and received a lew shillings
a week. All day long she toiled, get
ting no food until she reached home in
the evening. W ho does not remember
the hot Summer-of last year? Through
the glare of that cloudless season this
poor child starved on.' The sun with
ered up rtower and s Ii rub and ulso with
ered th ? br.i'in ol the d:iily governess.
'?Day by d.i\ her strength melted away;
at last she broke dowu. She could go
no more t?> the daily lesson ; it was too
late now to give her food, kindly smiles,
or noie wages. Her cry from morn to
night, a.- .-he r eked to and fro, pressing
her haiios on Iiei hurtling forehead, was.
?.Mother, hi flier, my brnin is gone.' One
day si. ? was i'-un l with.mm ban.1 copying
wi.s .loin the iilhle. a oil with the other
had ga-hed ?eiself-Tvito ? knife. It was
tbeii 1 li.-t li-.n'l of t^-e^tatc. I advised
<fl?f no i"Te; to :einl her to 'tile hoppital"
lor (he iiiv.itic. My'advice wds taken.
I often went lb inquire alter her. 1
found the pl.ico lull of governesses, and
all that khidOO.SJ could do seemed to he
ili'iio for them. She soon became a
raving lunatic.
'?One day I took two <>l her sisters to
see her. U W;iS their first visit to the
hospital, til id they brought some Bowers
to give the patient. They were just in
time tu see lo r die. In her cell, with
an aiigel mi.he oti tier young face, lay
the little governess. Slie had fought
the light of life to its bitter ctitl, and all
was over now ; and with a look as though
she blessed the world which killed her,
her young spirit passed away to tiod.
"There was a post moi'trm examina
tion. Congestion of the brain was the
cause of her death?hard Work, they
siul. the cause of the congestion. A
"TiTtle footH ? IhtTcTtTlrHWunj lit lulu ess
on the part of lluase w'ho omployeuTTCTi
might have saved her life sn i the broken
heart of her widowed mother.
The hiuls were Ringing gsyly, the sun
was shining brightly, a:- they laid her by
her lather's side in a quiet country grave.
There were lew mourners, but some poor
children and an old cripple, whom she
taught and to whom she read the Hildo
on Sundays?her only holidays?came
some miles to see the last of the*little
teacher.
"Sir, in telling this Btory, I do not
cast hlxme OI1 any one. hut I hope those
who road it, if they employ governesses,
will remember that human creatures are
no! mere imichincS J ajid if the} see them
fagged and worn, will think of the story
ol t is poor ehiid. whose soul now rests
in a kindier world than this."

Repkai. or Tue township Act.?
The Senate's .special order for one
o'clock to day was tho third reading of
the House bill to repeal an act outitled
?'an net to organize townships, and to
defiue their powers and privileges." As
soon as it was called up, Corbiu moved
to take up with it the bill to amend an
act entitled "an act to organize town
ships and to defiue their powers und
privileges." This motion caused consid.
crable discussion, but was finally voted
down and tho first bill consid-ercd.
Arnim, Ilnyno, Cam, Maxwell, and
Kiiinoy spoke in favor of the bill passing
at once, arguing that the State was too
sparsely settled for the act to be opera
live with nay success; besides the
expenses necessary to carry on its opera
tions were more than the people could
bear. Corbiu and Wright were opposed
to the passage of the bill, taking the
ground that the act had not been given
a fair trial. After a discussion lasting a
little over nu hour, the motion to read
the bill the third time and have it en
rolled was put aud carried? Arnim,
Harber. Buck, Bieman, Duncan, Foster,
Hoyt, Hayes, Hayne, Johnston, Leslie,
Lunnoy, Montgomery, Maxwell, Nash,
Owens, Raincy, Reid. Rose, Rodgcrs,
Swails, Wiinbush, (2-1) voting in the
affirmative. Corbiu, Greene, Jillsou aud
Wright (4) in the negative. Cain was
not in the chamber when the vote was
taken. Had he been he would have
voted in the affirmative.
The Radical party of this State never
never before did anylhiug that will give
mote satisfaction than this. By their
action the people arc relieved of the
taxation ncessary to support a useless sys
tem which cost tho State annually nbout
one million one hundred und sixty-five
thousand five hundred dollars. Corbiu:
Jillson and Wright, after the passage of
the bill, gave notice that they would, on
to morrow, give their reasons for voting
against its pus^tgc, atuLwished them rc
Land for tub Landless.?The
Legislature now proposes to appropriate
one million dollars, ("making twelve bun
died thousand dollars in all, ) for the
purchase of lands to be sold on credit to
the landless.
It is claimed that the State will be well
secured, because it will in all eases re
ceive us much motiey for interest as it
pays out for interest on the money which
it borrows, as well as because it will have
a firsj. lieu until the lands arc paid for.
In the face of the facts that have come
to light about the operations of tho land
commission up to this time, it can hardly
be proved that the land bought by the
State can always be resold at the cost
price. Aud uu addition of one- mil
lion dollars to the State debt, however it
may be ghizcned over, will uuqnestiona
fbly afleei injuriously the financial credit
which tho Radicals profess to bo so eager
to maintain.
Nor can we see that the appropriation
is necessary for the colored people.
They who have a little inoucy or a
little credit, cm buy l<:id now of private
persons, whether they be white or black.
Tho land commission, if honestly ad
ministered, will benefit the speculator or
the thriftier* negro, aud will in no way
improve the position ol the industrious
poor. And there is no cud to the help
deuiandad by those who cannot help
theill&elvcs, as there is ho satiating the
pecuniary appetite of the greedy Uadical
adventurer.
1 he coloicd people, if they know
what is best for them; will not desire the
squandering of another million dollars.

Thk Domino Democratic Leader.
?Judge Thurmau, of Ohio, who sueoced
cd to the seat lately vacated by Mr.
Wade has given indications by numerous
and ready utterances of the past two
days that tbo Domooracy has at last
found its Coming Man. That diminutiv?
body in tbo Senate has suffered a se
rious loss by tbo defeat' of Mr. Heqdricks,
and its leadership has hitherto been
uncertain. That doubt has now been
dispelled, and Judgo Thurman stands
forth as the most authoritative exponent
of Democracy in our highest legislative
body. His speeches yesterday indicated
remarkable acutcness as a debator, and
showed the ex-Chief Justice of Ohio, to
be an accomplished parliamentary tacti
cian. His unfailing courtesy toward hia
opponents, his frankness and fairness in
conceeding every legitimate inference
from their facts, will undoubtedly give
him great persoual popularity even with
the Senatorial majority who recognire
him as a foe man worthy of their steal.?
