In the shadow of death which rests
over the White House: the country has
for the past two weeks looked most care
fully and with most anxious interest 10
the Vice President and the probabilities
of the government under his administra-
tion, should the present head of the gov.
ernment be removed by death In view
81 so great calamity, it is q source of
no little assurance TO find the ability,
prudence. patriotism and good common
sense of Gen. Arthur highly commended
by such men as Vanderbilt, Jay Could
Gen. Hancock, Senators Beck, Pngh and
others, in whose opinion the country has
the most unlimited confidence. It eas
great blessing TO the country for the
President TO live so long, even if he shall
die, for the dread of politi-
cal revolution has been assuaged, and the
Vice President would now come into
office under much more favorable circum-
tances than he could possibly have done
lad the President been killed immedi-
.tely by the assassin's bullet. Gen. Ar
hur would, it is confidently stated, carry
ut tho wise and conservative policy

All for Love.

The Orangeburg Times of last Thursday
tells the following tragic story:
Mr.. Charlie Duford, q young man OF
some 10 wears, and son of Res. Mr.. Du.
ford, OF Upper ST. Matthew's, was found
dead in grove near hia mothers resi-
dence on Sunday morning last. The cir
cumstances of his death. as near rs we
can gather them up, arc these On Thurs
day or Friday last. while in company
With n friend, young Duford remarked
that he was going to see his sweetheart
Saturday night, and. if the proper en-
couragement was not received, he would
XIII himself True to his promise, he
called on some young ladies and spent
very pleasant evening on that occasion.
When about to leave the house he was
presented by the ladies with beautiful
bouquet, which, instead of receiving, he
requested the la9ics to keep in fresh
water, so that when he was dead they
might have il TO place upon his grave
without the trouble of preparing another.
Not rising as early as usual on Sunday
morning, his aunt visited the room in
which he slept and found young Duford
lying on the bed, and, after speaking q
few words to hiii, left without any sus-
picions OF his aesign upon his life 4
few minutes after this he arose and
walked out, going into grove about 100
yards from the dwelling, and in ton min
utes more the inmates of the house were
alarmed ov nearing pistol fire i'll the
direction the young man had proceeded
Search was Immediately made, and, after
hunting and calling short while, the
dead body of the unfortunate young man
was found leaning against log with n
bullet hole pierced in the region of the
heart. Death seemed to have been in
Simultaneous, as no signs Of struggling
could be seen anywhere around. His hat
and tobacco was found placed carefully
on log near by. \ jury of inquest was
called. and rendered verdic. in accord
ance with the above facts.

augmented to 100000. and is so fixed
that neither the President nor Mrs Gar.
field can touch the principal, the inter
est only going to her during her lifetime.
Ii she should refuse to accept the inter
est, it is TO accumulate for the children.
whose interest in the fund cannot be
taken away By the acceptance or rejec.
tion of it by Mrs. Garfield. If the Presi.
dent should recover it is not improbable
that she will decline the money, for her
sense of propriety would scarcely permit
the acceptance of a gift which might

ton at some future time. In that event
it will remain for the children, who will
be made quite comfortable by it, if they
should receive nc estate from other sour
ces. 1t may be that Mrs. Garfield will
only decline the money during the life
of her husband, leaving herself at liberty
to accept it hereafter, should his life be
shortened by the pain and suffering he
has endured in consequence of his
wound.

The country is not so generally in a
bad financial condition as those visited
with very short crops would imagine.
The exports of the United States for the
pas: twelve months. ending July 81, ex-
ceeded our imports by Sill, $50, ,l60,
which means that this country sold TO
other countries that much more than it
bought from them. The result of this is
that European gold is coming to this
country to pay off these debts, and the
short crops of this year will probably
not be sufficient to overcome this advan-
tage on our part. and even for the next
year :hc balance of trade will be in our
favor. There are 90 indications of any
thing like general crisis next gear.

"rAnMEns" BLOW AT THE LIEN LAW

Our correspondent upon the lien law
presents strong argument upon the
evils of the credit system under the name
Of the lien law Now, if his argument is
intended to justify and advocate the de-
struciion OF credi. 10 all poor men, then
he is right TO advocate the repeal Of the
lien law. We cannot, however, consent
to the withdrawal of credit from any
class Of citizens, because some Of them
do not use that credit in the manner
which We would think best Such a
withdrawal of credit now, would lead to
very general distress next year, which
would certainly uuscttlc the country to
I'm alarming extent. The fact tha.
Georgia has no lien law does not call
for the repeal of the law here. Persons
have the right in Georgia by note Of
hand to waive the homestead, which can
only be done here by the expensive and
cunbrous system OF mortgages. The lien
law here is merely an accompaniment of
the homestead, to restore to man Of
small means the credit which the home
stead virtually takes away from him. 1t
is the South Carolina system, and is not
without its evils. 1t is, however, SO init
matcly connected with the credit of the
poorer class of our citizens, that it is
impossible to repea! it suddenly without
great agricultural damage to the State.
Its repeal now would produce crisis
which would drive hundreds OF our Ia
borers from the State. 1t would be
viewed rs class legislation, and would
check for years the now increasing tide
Of immigration, and worst of all it would
produce an antagonism between capital
and labor, which would prove detrimen.
tai to the ..,erests Of both. The law
can only be safely repealed by allowing
one or two years in which to recover
from the present distress before the
repeal goes into effect.
The repeal Of the lien law would not
benefit farmers who rent out their lands,
for it would leave them without any sc.
curi.y ior their rents. AS it is now, the
rent Of land is very sure to be paid
Without this law every judgment against
n tenant could be levied to defeat the
claim for rent, unless each farmer goes
10 the trouble and expense of taking a
mortgage, properly drawn and recorded,
80 far as it affects crops over the value of
the homestead. Under this exemption,
neither the claim of any creditor nor of
the landlord for rent could reach the
tenant In our opinion, the repeal of
the law will injure four men where it
benefits one.
