Our Agricultural Interests In Dan
ger.
[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net is repealed it w !l nearly ruin our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 advised
f no iTe: to .????ml her totdlo hospital'
! fur the insane. My advice was taken.
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?" As soon as (be man
could breathe again he replied : T beg
your pardon, Mad tm. but upon my soul
it was so hard 1 couldn't bite it off."

Repeal of Tue township Act.?
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.

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

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.?
