The COMING DEMOCRATIC LEADER.

The COMING DEMOCRATIC LEADER.
Judge Thurman, of Ohio, who succeed
cd to the seat lately vacated by Mr.
Wade has given indications by numcrous
and ready utterances of the past two
days that the Democracy has at last
foundits Coming Man. That diminutiye
body in the Senate has suffered o Sc
rious loss 5y the defeat of Dir. Hendricks,
and its leadership has hitherto been
uncertain. That doubt has now been
dispelled, and Judge Thurman stands
forth as the most authoritative exponent
of Democracy in our highest legislative
body. His speeches yesterday indicated
remarkable acuteness as debator, and
showed the ex-Chief Justice of Ohio, to
be an accomplished parliamentary tacti-
clan. His unfailing courtesy toward his
opponents, his frankness and fairness in
conceeding every legitimate inference
from their facts, will undoubtedly give
him great personal popularity even with
the Senatorial majority who recognize
him as focman worthy of their steal.

LAND FOR TIE LANDLEss.-Th
Legislature now proposes to appropriate
one million dollars, (making twelve hun
drcd thousand dollars in all, } for the
purchase of lands to be sold on credit to
the landlcss.
1t is claimed that the State will be well
secured, because it will in all cases re-
ccive as much money for interest as it
pays out for interest on the money which
it borrows, as well us because it will have
first lien until the lands are paid for.
In the 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
State can always be resold at the cost
price. And an addition Of one mil
lion dollars to the State debt, however it
may be glazcned over, will unquestiona-
'bly affect iujuriously the faancial credit
which the Radicals profess to be SO eager
10 MAINTAIN.
Nor can we see that the appropriation
is necessary for the colored people
They who have little money or a
little credit, can buy land now of private
persons, whether they be white or black.
The land commission, if honestly ad
ministered, will benefit The specul.,or mr.
the thriitless negro, and will in no way
improve the position of the industrious
poor. And there is no end to the help
demanded by those who canuot help
themselves, as there is no satiating the
pecuniary appetite of the greedy Radical
adventurer.
The colored people, if they know
THAT is best for them; will not desire the
squandering of another million dollars.

From the Sumter Watchman
We saw, with much concern, among
the proceedings of the Legislature, on
the 9th instant, notice by Wimbush,
the Senate, of bill to repeal the act

pon the growing crop, us security for

REPEAL OF The TOWNSHIP Aor.-

REPEAL OF The TOWNSHIP ACT.--
The Senate's special order for one
O'Clock to day was the third reading of
the House bill to repeal an act entitled
"an net to organize townships, and to
define their powers and privileges" AS
soon ms it was called up, Corbin moved
to take up with it the bill to amend an
act entitled "an act to organize town.
ships and to define their powers and
privileges" This motion caused consid.
cradle discussion, but was finally voted
down and the first bill consid cred.
Arnim, Hayne, 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 it's 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 not been given
fair trial. After a discussion lasting a
little over an hour, the motion to read
the nil the third time and have it en-
rolled was put aud carried Arnin.,
Barber, Buck, Bicman, Duncan, Foster,
Hoyt, Hayes, Haync, Johnston, Leslie,
Lunney, Montgomery, Maxwell, Nash,
Owens, Rainey, Reid, Rose, Rodgers,
Swails, Wimbush, (2D voting in the
affirmative. Corbin, Greene, Jillson 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 anything that will give
mole satisfaction than this. by their
action the people are relieved of the
taxation necessary to support a useless sys-
tenn which cost the State annually about
one million one hundred and sixty-ivc
thousand five hundred dollars. Corbin:
Jillson and Wright, after the passage OF
the bill, gave notice chat they would, oil

against its passage, andswislied them re-.
