[From the Sumter Watchman.] Wc saw, with much concern, among tlic proceedings of the Legislature, on Uie 6tl) instant, a notice by Wimbusb, the Senate, of a bill to repeal the act September, 18(>G. which secures liens pon the growing crop, lib security lor Ivnnccs made for supplies to carry on ml crop. We ffcro concerned, because c feared that the withdrawal of the ?CUrity basis upon which such advances ore luadt would "pTit a stop to BUch ivutlCCS, in the main, and just at this Jason when arrangements are being nule lor the present year's operations, isconcert, disarrange, seriously cripple ml obstruct our agricultural interests? the great basis and substratum of the fseup'eration, prosperity and development f the country. A letter before us. from a leading factorage house in Charleston, under date of January 7?one ot enlarged liberality ami conservative views?one i hat advanced more than $100,000 Oil ions the past year, and, under earnest ;application, was making arrangements to probably double that amount the present year?confirms our apprehensions, ami puts the matter even in a more serious light than appeared to us at first thought. Wo make the following extract from this letter, addressed to parties at this place : "We saw, this morning in the duili s. a notice of a bill repealing I he Lien Law |of I860. This stops all proceedings towards advances. You will pleas suspend till issues of liens, us we shall fill no order for advances until this (jties ii n is settled in the As cuibly. Il this net is repealed it w !l nearly ruin our planting friends, an 1 once throw out of employment 25,00?) laborers." II tin- object of loghdutiou ho the pub lic good?-to foster aud duv.e! p tho iu try a: ,i ma., ?in! interest <*' the State ?then we are totally at a loss to discover the basis of argument and reasoning for the proposi <1 aeti ill. It is so manifest as to he apparent to every observer, tint the application of the limited? capital of the country, through the operations of this act, to the industry of the country, has been such a.-- COUStitUtod it nllltost the prime basis of the action of die latter. A large pur lion of the planting interests of the with fair earnings, to thousands of the fri ed people. And very many of these people, who. by industry and frugality, have been enabled, from the earnings ol 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 thi> act. We know hundreds of colored men now making arrangements to carry on their crops the present year under this lien law, who, by the inevitable results of its repo'i], a*, ill find their whole basis of work in the soil for the year check mated ami their operations brought to a perfect standstill. And so of hundreds of white farmers And if tho Legislature repeal this act it cannot otherwise result than in reducing, to a great extent, the agricultural pro ducts of the State flic : resent year, ne ii will amount virtually to the withdrawal of a large .'1111011111 ol' capital from ns< BtStanco of this great central, vital in terest. If, theroforo, the movement to repeal this act be designed as a blow at the landed interests of the Statt?to cripple and obstruct this, in order to force the .-ale of lauds, and til US to wre*t it from tho bauds of present owners?(and wc confess we can see no other possible motive)?it must not only signally fail of its design upon this class, separately ?since it will fall UpOU the. colored a,, well as the while man?aud can onl) lie uocoinplishciJ by putting an iucuhus up on the industrial interests ami energies of the country generally, and iuflicting a heavy loss upon the earnings of the State at largo. Wo cull upon those iu nut lenity to pause 'Diese arc the facts of tlvO case, disconuected from ail political feeling or principle?regardless of party or race? and wo trust that those who now- sit in the councils of the State will not exhibit themselves so blinded und prejudiced by partisan feeling as to rush wildly into a measure like this, regardless of the com mon good. Story of a Governess in England. A correspondent of the London Tele graph vouches for the lollow???? ?> *? true story : "A few days ago I 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 was the widow of a clerk in a city bank, who died suddenly, leaving his wife and children destitute. Her sisters went out as governesses ; she re mained at home until increasing want rendered it necessary for her, too, to make her own living. She found cm ploy incut as a daily governess. She walked each day four mil< s to and from her work, and toceivod a few shillings a week. All day long she toiled, get ting no fund until she reached home in the evening. Who docs not remember the hoi Summer nf last year? Through the glare of that cloudless season this poor child starved on.* The sun with ered up Mower and shrub and also with ered th brain ol the d:iily governess. "Day by daj her strength melted away; at last she l inke d>.wu. Shu could go n i more to the daily lesson ; it was too .... now to give her food, kindly Smite.**, I . ;? more wages. Her cry from morn to i night. a> she r eked to and fro, pressing her hands on bei burning forehead, Was. 'Mother. i'i flier, my brain is gone.' One day sb ? was ?'??.m l with.b?fehuml copying w.-.-.s .101. t!;.- i;ible. atdl with the other bad gn-l.eil ? ! iM-lf?\vito>'tr-knife. It was jii 1 li.-t h..nd of J^r^cyse.

I often went to inquire alter her. 1 found the place lull of governesses, and all thai M.id .ess could d i seemed to be <b ne for them. Site suou became :i ra\ nig lutiat ie. ??One day 1 took two ol her sisters t<> sec her. li was their lirst visit to the hospital, and they brought some flowers to give the patient. They were just in time tn see her die. In her cull, with an angel smile mi iior young face, lay the little governess. She had fought the light bl life to its bitter end, and all was over now ; and with a look as though she blessed the world which killed her. her young spirit passed away to Cod. "There w.is a post mortem examina tion. Congestion of the brain was the cause of her death?hard Work, they said, the cause uf th> congestion. A TilTtle fuel, a littleTiTTrVAAWUj/ lit fulness on the part of those who emploYe^TTWGI uiight have saved her lit! id tin brokcu heart of her widowed uiotber. The birds were pinging gayly, the sun was shilling brightly, a:- they laid her by her lather's side in a quiet country grave. There were few mourners, l>ut sonie poor children and an old cripple, whom she taught and to whom she read the Jiible on Sundays?her only holidays?came sonic miles to see the l ist ol* thc'little teacher. "Sir. in telling this itory. 1 do not cast blsinc on any one, but 1 hope those who road it. if they employ governesses, will remember that human creatures are not mere machines j and if they sec them lagged ami worn, will think of the. story ol t is p ior child, ?hose enul now rests in a kindier world than this." "Why, dear me, Mr. Lotigswnllow," s.:id a good old lady, "how can you drink a whole quart of that hard cider at a single draught?"

The Senate's .special order for one o'cloek to day was tho third reading of tho House bill to repeal an act entitled "an act to organize townships, and to de?ue their power? nnd privileges.'" As soon us it was called up, Corbiu moved to take up with it the bill to amend an act eutitled "an act to organize town ships and to define their powers and privileges." This motion caused cunsid. crablo discussion, but was finally voted down and tho first bill consid ered. Arnim, May no, Cain, Maxwell, and Rainey spoke in favor of the bill passing at once, arguing that the State was too sparsely settled for the act to be opera tive with any success; besides the expenses necessary to carry on its opera tions were more than the people could bear. Corbin and Wright were opposed to the passage of the bill, taking the ground that the act had hot been given a fair trial. Altera discussion lasting a little over tin hour, the motion to read the ??ill the third time and have it en rolled was put and carried? Arnim, Harber. Ruck, Biemau, Duncan, Foster, Hoyt, Hayes, Uayno, .Johnston, Leslie, Luniicy, Montgomery, Maxwell, Nash, Owens, Raincy, Rcid, Rose, Rodgers, Swails, Wiinbush, (24) voting iu the affirmative, Corbin, Orccnc, Jillsou and Wright (1) in the negative. Cain was not in the chamber when the vote was taken. Had be been he would have voted in the affirmative. Tho Radical party of this State never inner before did anything that will give more satisfaction than this. By their action the people are relieved of the taxation nccssary to support a useless sys tem which cost the State annually about one million one hundred and sixty-five thousand five hundred dollars. Corbin: Jillson and Wright, after the passage of the bill, gave notice that they would, on to morrow, give their reasons for voting ngaiust its passage, njuLwishcd them re corded. ???'????? Land for the Landless.?The Legislature now proposes to appropriate one million dollars, (making twelve liQn dred thousand dollars in all, ) for the purchase of lands to be sold on credit to the landless. Jt is claimed that the State will be well secured, because it will iu all cases re ' ccive as much money 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 lauds are paid for. In tiie face of the facts that have come to light about the operations of the land commission up to this time, it can hardly be proved that the land bought by the Stato can always be resold at the cost price. And an addition of one mil lion dollars to the State debt, however it may be glazcncd over, will unqu aioua si?iy affect injuriously the fijaucial credit which tho Radicals profess to be so eager to maintain. Nor can we see that the appropriation is necessary for the colored people. They who have a little mouey or a little credit, can buy land liow of private persons, whether they be white or black. The land commission, if honestly ad ministered, will benefit the speculator or the th rift lets negro, ami will in no way improve the position ol the industrious poor. And there is no cud to the help demandad by those who cannot help themselves, as there is no satiating the pecuniary appetite of the greedy Radical adventurer. 1 he colo.cd people, if they know what is Lest for them; w ill not desire the squandering of another million dollars. When a young man goes astray, friends gather round h in i:i oider to re store him to the p:'.'h of virtue. Gen tleness and kindness are lavished upon him to win him back to innocence aud peaee.

The Coming Democratic Lkadek. ?Judge Thurnian, of Ohio, who succeed- - cd to the Beat lately vacated by: Mr. Wade has given indications by numerous and ready utterances of the past two days that tbo Democracy has $A las* found its Coming Man. That diminutive body in tbo Senate has Buffered a se rious loss by tbo defeat' of Mr, Hendricks, and its leadership haB hitherto been uncertain. That doubt has now been dispelled, and Judgo Thurman Staads forth as the most authoritative exponent of Democracy in our highest legislative body. His speeches yesterday indicates* remarkable acutcucss as a debater, aud showed the ex-Chief Justice of Ohio, u b? an accomplished parliamentary tacti cian. His unfailing courtesy toward bis opponents, his frankness and fairness in concceding every legitimate inference from their facts, will undoubtedly give him great personal popularity cveu with the Senatorial majority who recognise him as a focman worthy of their steel.? 1 Vi i s/t.
