THE TOWNSHIP ACE REPEALED.

Probably the most sensible; conduct We may ex.
pect from the present Legislature has been exhio-
tied in repeating the township law. 1t was o
great burden to the State, and it is estimated that
the Act, as originally framed would have cost the
people annually about $l,i65,OOO, though we
think this estimate is rather high. 1t has been
repeatedly shown that the township system was
not adapted to our sparse population, and that
great inconvenience and unnecessary expense
might accrue from its continuance. Those op-
posed to the system, however, did not think it
necessary to urge repeal Of the Act, prior to
the meeting Of the Legislature, and only contem-
plated asking suspension for term of years
The friends of the township law endeaverea to
amend its provisions in such manner as 10 in
sure less expense in the system, but this was
corlbatted earnestly by the opposition, and the
result is that bill has passed both branches OF
the Legislature unconditiopally repeating ''an act
to organize townships, and to define their powers
and privileges" AS measure of retrenchmens,
the whole people can endorse the action OF the
Legislature in undoing this unwise Legislation,
and we trust that they may be governed with like
propriety in considering other matters of great
Importance The debate in the Senate on the re-
peal of the township law was quite interesting,
and we make the following extract from the re-
marks of Senator AnxIM, of Edgefeld, in refer
ence to this subject:
"Like every other creature, in accordance with
the law of nature it had to die. 1t was, he said,
created by the Senator from Charleston, DIR. Cor
bin.) He had tried, three weeks, to nurse it, but
be had to yield it up. The fat bad gone forth
that it was TO die, and die to-day, and he thought
they would bury it. This township law is crea-
ture from Northern climate, and cannot live in
Southern atmosphere. 1t is impracticable, in toto
and, in regard to the jury law connected with it,
they would soon have something better"

nEArH on ANOTHER Old Citizen.

II is our melancholy duty to record the death
Of another useful and honorable citizen of Ander-
son. Mr.. ELIAS EARLE died at his residence in
this place on Monday morning last, aged about
10 years. His life was quiet and unobtrusive, but
be was widely known as pure and upright citi-
sen, and bore an exemplary character in every re-
iatioa towards his fellow-man. He was On ardent
aud earnest patriot, and sacrificed much for the
public good. During the late war, his benevolent
character shone conspicuous, while his hospitable
home was often the abode Of weary and suffering
soldiers, who will respect his memory and feeling
Iy revert TO his kind attentions Mr.. EARLE had
never connected himself with any religious de-
nomination, but he was ever foremost in all that
pertained to the welfare and prosperity of Zion,
and seemed to have On abiding interest in the
preaching Of the Gospel He has gone down to
the grave full of years and the honor Of an up
right course on earth, and will be deeply lamented
by q wide circle of friends. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev, Messrs. MUERAr and
BEVERLY at The Baptist Church on Tuesday morn
ing, amid large concourse of citizens end his
remains were carried to the family hurial-place,
known ss Beaverdam, about eighteen miles north
vest of Anderson, where the last Rad rites took
place on yesterday morning.

RErAIL LIcENsEs.

The Town Council of Anderson have again re-
fused to grant licenses to retail sprituoas liquors
In September last, this course was pursued in ref
crenee to licenses, but upon the representation OF
leading citizens the Council granted such licenses
for three months, which expired last week We
do not propose to enter into the merits Of the
question as to the peopriety Of granting such
privileges but simply state the facts as above set
forth. We will add, however, that petition was
presented to the Council signed by sixty citizens
pnd taxpayers, praying that no further licenses
be granted, and it is our opinion that majority
of the voting population, white and black, are op
posed to the license system.

A ROMANTIC HrsToRY-When the French
besieged and took Rome, in 1S49, there was a
very good-looklng sergeantmajor of dragons,
named Yarmouth, who commanded picket
near the Aliens Palace. The old Duchess of
Gallese, who lived there, was chldless, tooth
less and sympathetic. She saw the handsome
Frenchman, and proposed marriage. Har.
moulin, sharp Mormon peasant by birth, saw
the advantage in prospective, jumped at the of
Ter. and espoused the Dowager, the Pope hav-
ing first authorised him to assume the name
and title OF the Gallese, which would otherwise
become extinct. After ten years of welded
bliss the old Duchess was gathered TO her faith
or, leaving everything she possessed to her nus.
band, who had always been attentive, kind and
devoted to her. The Duke mourned the prop
er number of months, and then took another
wife, Strange to say, he passed by all the swells,
and chose one Of the Messocets, md so, by q
singular chance, these two, OF whom neither
possessed drop Of blue blood in their veins,
tisd themselves at the very top OF the social lad
der, and the owners Of one of the finest estates
in oil italy.
