News reaches US through reliable source
that three hundred Indias entered the TT. Sill
trading post on last Saturday week and took
from one Of the stores of that place, without
leave or for pay, goods to the amount Of six
or seven hundred dollars. They were painted
up to the war standard, and had on nothing
save the unique breecf-clout. They flourish
ed revolvers in the faces Of peaceful citizens,
and swore that unless Satanic and Big Tree
were released they proposed to return
within the present moon and kill and Law waste
everybody and everything. The gentleman
who gave us the above information was at Fl.
Sill at the time, and he says things are looking
rather dark.
Two horse races occurred last Saturday,
upon one of which $500 was staked. Or course
the decision was unsatisfactory. and much loud
talk during the evening was INDUCED in upon
the street, especially at the postoffice crossing
on Douglas avenue, where three or four fel-
lows on horses blocked up the walk and cursed
and swore. and used vile epIthets at fearful
rate, regardless Of passing ladies. Wenoticed
hand TO clear the walk. to stop the oaths or
to make an arrest. At last John N. Steele
stepped forward and told the horsemen to clear
the track.
The snppositions embodied in private note
accompanying Farmer Doolittle's' commu-

The paper, as you can we'll imagine,

Third. That its jurisdiction was not

Fourth That its order made in the

Fifth. That the next step taken in

That the law, however, needs modifica
tion, there can be no doubt. AS it
stands, it is bungling, insufficient, cx.
pcnsive, harsh and cruel. It does not
properly protect the honest mcr-
chant against the dishonest farmer,
nor does it properly protect tho honest
farmer against the dishonest merchant
The whole machinery of its operation
is in equitable.
Our Legislature has nothing before it
more profoundly affecting the most vital
interests of our almost exclusively agri-
cultural community than this same
subje ct Of the lien law.

I'hc Lien Law.

We have been at some pains to asccr
tain the views Of the three classes most
interested in tho lion law the lind
holders, the su,all farmers or labor
crs and the ncrch,nts-w tn refcr,ncc
to tho repeal, notification or continu
ance Of hat law. And the result Of our
investigation has been about as follow,
the merchants are decidedly in favor of
the law remainns as it stands, dcc!arin,
that it is their only security. aud poor
one at that, iu making the advances
which are absolutely necessary to the
farmers; the landhullcrs claim that the
law should be either abolished or 80
modified lib to give them n lien for thoir
rent-so as, in cilhor case, to give tEc'n
fair showing WITH the mech ,n.s :.
iarmcrs-thc coIurcd men especially
seem to be somewhat divided in opin.
ion; many Of them, whose crops have
been recently seized (o'tcntimes very
unrca oaab)y aud unjustly) undcr lien
warrants, viewing the law ii. tyrannous,
rxacting and hard in the cxtrems; others
being Of The opinion that :,repeal Of he
'aw would deprive them OF th,ir sole
and only means Of obtAinin, credit j,
without Which thcy would bc unable to
farm or to obtain oud or clothing for
themselves and families Aud that these
latter arc correct in their apprehensions
would seem to be indicated by the fact
that great mary landholders and rich
| planters favor an entire abolition of the
law, for the avowcd reason that numbers
Of cnlored men, who are now able to farm
for themselves would. in the evont ur !.
repeal, be obliged TO give up their pro-
sent life of hardworkiny independence
and hire out under contra cts-or starve.
We can understand and appr -eiate
why tho merchant who makes advances
to others of his own muney or supplies
should dcsi,e 10 Q fully sccured-we can
also understand and appreciate why the
landhulIcr who furnishes the land on
| which u crop is made, should desire to
be at least as well secured for his rent
as is the merchant for his advances to
make the crop. But We 10 not under.
stand and can not appreciate as in any
way right, or just, or republican, that
the law should be abolished in order
to mako men work for others when they
pre- or 20 work fer themselves.
Those who are most vitality interested
in this question are the poor men-the
hard working mon men who own little
or no land-inost frequently those who
rent, and who pay good many dollars
for o very few acres. These constitute
tho class whose opinions nn,l advice
should govern in question involving
the very lives Of themselves and their
families.

The homestead.

We are beginning to think that the
Homestead law, as it tands,-both con.
stitutional and statutory-is nuisance
1t is haven of refuge to sinners who
could pay if they would, but won't, and
is delusion and snare to many an
honest poor man who would pay If ho
could, but can't, without leaving himself
absolutely destitute. Any man with a
thousand dollars worth of land a nd FIVE
hundred dollars worth of personal proper
ty (the amount Of the homestead cxemp
tions) ought to be obliged, whether he
likes it or not, to pay his groccr's and
dry goods bill, his Doctors bill and the
wages of laborers who have worked hard
for him all the year (to say nothing Of
the lawyers, who are erroneously pre-.
sumed to bo able to collect their bills,
aayhow.) AS it is, these comparatively
rich people are tho very ones who mos.
frequently sneak behind the law, while
the really poor man often finds that the
expense of the homestead proceedings
actually precludes him from the protec-
ton which they were designed to afford
aud which, in his case, would be perfect.
ly just and right. Let US have another
amendment to our constitution, and see
If We cannet do something better next

In the Senatc last Wednesday Mr..
Duncan gave notice Of bill to require
trial justices to give bond, to make their
Office elective, and to otherwise define
and regulate their powers.
The bill to establish public weigher
in Orangeburg was rejected, lhe report
of the committee to that effect being
adopted.
The bill to alter and amend section
25, chapter 25, title 6, part 1, OF the
statutes was passed, and ordered to be
enrolled for ratification. This is the
bill providing that juries in landlord
and tenant proceeding shall be drawn
as in other cases, and shall no longer be
composed exclusively Of freeholders. 1t
had Its origin in the Lower House
where it was introduced by Representa-
tive Duncan of Fort Motto in this
county.
The committc on conting gent accounts
reported upon tho claims of witnesses in
the contested election case of Senator
Andrews aud Mr.. Byas. After debate
by Messrs. Nash, Andrews and others
Mr.. Andrews thought that witnesses
should not be compelled to lose their
time and labor for not hing. and moved
to refer the same to the committee on
privileges and elections.
The seated senator not having witness
es, it was argued by Mr.. Nash that as t
had been decided not to pay the contes :
tant, it would not be in keeping with the
spirit of the same to pay witnesses Of
contestant.
