Enforcing Agricultural Liens.

The following is the text of an Act
passed at the recent session of our Legis.
lature amending the Lien Law. The
Act explains itself, and is as follows:
An Act authorizing Trial Justices to
issue warrants for the enforcement of
Agricultural Liens in certain cases.
SECTION /. That when any person
shall have made advances for agricultu-
raj purposes and shall have secured n
Lien upon the crop or crops of the person
to whom such advances may be made,
according to the provisions of law relat.
ing to agricultural Liens, and the amount
of such advances do not exceed one hun
dred dollars, it shall be lawful for any
Trial Justice Of the County in which
such Lien is iudexed, upon the produc-
ton of said Lien, and proofs required in
cases where Clerks of the Court may
issue warrants, to issue bis warrant direct
ed to Constable or the Sheriff of the
County, requiring him to seize said crop
or crops, and after due notice sell the
same for cash and apply the net proceeds
thereof, or 30 much thereof as may be
necessary, in extinguishment OF said
Lien; Provided, that if the person to
whom such advances have been made
shall give notice in writing within ten
days after such seizure, accompanied
with an affidavit to the effect that the
amount claimed is not justly due, then
the Trial Justice Issuing the warrant
shall, at the expiration Of twenty days,
decide an issue which shall be made up,
in which the person who may have made
such advances shall he the actor.
SEC. 2. That every landlord leasing
lands for agricultural purposes shall have
the right to enforce his Lien for rent in
the same manner, upon the same condi-
tions aud subject to the same restrictions
as are herein provided for persons max
ing advances for agricultural purposes.
SEC. 3. That this Act shall not be so
construed as to prevent Clerks of the
Court of the several Counties of the State
from issuing warrants 10 enforce agricul.
tural Liens in all cases now provided for
by law.

officerr, not County only in their charac.
ter. Every other County in the State is
interested in the work of the Auditor
and Treasurer for Richland County as
we'll as the people of Richland, and there
is, therefore, some reason why the people
of one County should not have absolute
control Of who is to Gil these offices.
We believe il would be to the States in-
terest TO send Charleston man to Green
vile and Greenville man to Charleston,
and so on, to assess property. The effect
would be to have fuller and fairer yalu.
alton of property in the State. The pco.
pie do not care so much about these
things, after all, as the Office seekers do.
All they want is polite, efficient and
honorable officials, and they are, by no
means, 80 anxious to deprive the Cover
nor Of the duty devolyed on him under
the Constitution as the men who want
the Office, which another good man holds,
are to have an election in the hope Of
getting in where, under civil service re.
form, they would have no chance of
securing an appointment.

Blaine's New Ambition.

WASHINGTON, January SIT is but
natural that great curiosity should be
manifested respecting Dir. Blaine's occu-
pstions, aspirations, hopes and doings
while domiciled at the national capital,
as we'll as the underlying motives for the
abandonment of his Augusta home and
reoccupation of Washington.
But two months remain of Presidert /
Arthur's term, and it will be Mr.. Blaine's
particular pleasure to make these brief
eight weeks as uncomfortable as possible
TO his administration. He will scheme
for the rejection of the Spanish, Mexican
and Nicaragua treaties, not only because
their underlying policy is repellant to
that advanced by him while Secretary OF
State, but because he is averse to the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of any glory which may
possibly attach to their contamination
through the efforts of the President and
Secretary Frelinghuysen.
The possible election of President
Arthur 10 the Senate as the successor ol
Senator Lapham is very disagreeable
reflection to Mr.. Blaine. He haa un.
doubtedly builded upon the hupe that
the ides of March would chronicle the
permanent retirement Of President Ar.
thur from public life, at least for many
years to come, and that the Arthur dy.
nasty would pass into the intangible as @
necessary sequence to his deprivation ot
power. Meantime, should nothing more
favorable present, he would be returned
10 the Senate from the "Dirigo" State
to succeed Mr.. Hale, whose term expires
in 1887, in the very middle of President
Cleveland's official life.
Mr.. Blaine permitted Mr.. Hale's elec.
ton to the Senate to succeed Hannibal
Hamlin, and opened the Senate gateway
to MIR. Frye. who succeeded him when be
resigned to accept the portfolio of State
under the Garfield administration. These
two Senators, however, have from time tc
time displayed a disposition to declare
their independence of Mr.. Blaine; bul
as the lion is stronger than the whelps
it is quite likely the king of the Maine
forest will reach cut his strong pav neg,
year and place it upon the first senator.
ship within his grasp. It is fallacy tc
suppose that man of Mr.. Blaine's tenn
perament can content himself in &
private station, for, while that may have
been the Roman post of honor, Mr.
Blaine has too many irons in the fire ant
too large a supply of recoupments tc
permit political emasculation in. The
prime of bis years.

THAT LAND CLAIM.

The Greenville Neus, commenting on
the article of the INTELLIGENCER en-.
dorsing the views Of the Pickens Sentinel
upon the Brown land claim in Pickens
and Oconee Counties, says:
The above extract is from the Ander.
son INTELLIGENCER and is proof enough
that that able newspaper, like the es.
teemed contemporary it quotes from, is
talking of something it knows nothing
about The bill alluded to was Intended
to make good title, not to zone Brown
representing German syndicate" but
to the heirs Of Col. Brown, Of Charleston,
who have as much right to the unoccu-
pied portion of the property alluded to
as the proprietor of the INTELLIGENCER
has to anything he has bought and paid
for. Col. Brown purchased q claim from
parties to whom it came by due process
of law from the original grantee from
the State, and 1t 10 held by his widow and
daughters who are "our own people,"
Their title is perfect with the exception
of one old paper which has been los.
from the clerks Office in Pickens or An
derson. The Legislature was asked TO
enable these heirs to give good title to
German syndicate which proposed to pay
$26, 900 for the portion Of the land now
occupied and settle immigrants upon it.
The Legislature refused to grant this
perfectly proper request and permit
transaction which would certainly have
allowed the widow and children of an
honest South Carolina citizen to realize
on property bonestly inherited from him,
and would probably have been of im.
mense benefit to the State, because it did
not know anything more about the matter
than onr esteemed cotemporaries do, and,
like them, undertook to act without tax.
ing the trouble to learn.
We may have fallen into some error
about the personel Of this claim in com
mon with our Pckens contemporary, but
the principle upon which we based our
position lie, We still think correct. From
our Greenyille contemporaries statement,
the facts are that Col. John Brown, years
ago, had q claim to certain lands granted
him, or some predecessor by the State in
Pic-ens and Oconee Counties-then
Pendleton County-which he did not
think worth enough to keep in position
to be enforced. He and his heirs have
remained sileut for many years, during
which time parties have acquired better
title before the law than they have
many of these people who now hold these
lands have paid their money for them,
believing that they had good titles to
them. What we said was, that If tho
State has any rights which she wants to
give away to anybody in these lands, it
would be more just to give those rights to
the men who have paid their money for
them, and are now living upon them, or
using them, than to give them to persons
who Rave either negligently or wilfully
stood by and permitted hundreds of men
to settle and purchase these lands. We
do not think the State should interfere
between these parties, but if she does,
then we think the principles of equity
would be most subseryed by releasing the
States intereat to the actual settlers, and
not to speculators. We think the Legis.
lature was right In letting the matter
| lone.

Helping General Grant.

NEW YORK, January 2.-Mr. George
w. Childs, on his arrival in this city, had
"a long conference with General Grant
relative to the 100000 fund which a
number of the generals rich friends are
raising to clear off his Indebtedness to
William III. Vanderbilt for the big loan
that was swallowed up in the Grant &
Ward failure. 1t is now known that the
whole amount necessary to meet the
claim of which Mr. Vanderbilt himself
voluntarily knocked off SEQ, 900, has al.
ready been practically pledged. Allthat
now remains Is to arrange matters 20 that
in case the courts decide that General
Grant was regular partner in the de-
funct firm, the other creditors will NOT
be abls to levy on the war relics and real
estate. 1t was to effect this protective
measure that Mr.. Childs scent all his
labors. The committee who have charge
Of the subscription propose to pay Mr..
Vanderbilt $100, 900, bus instead Of giv.
ing General Grant n quit claim the
securities will be held by them as a snrt
of trust fund during General Grnht's
lifetime. The $250,000 annuity fund
that George JoDcs, ofthe New York
Times, raised is administered In this wav
and cannot be touched by any creditors
or claimants. 80 :
General Grant went out Of doors on
Wednesday for the first time in many
days. He visited friend at the Fifth
avenue hotel, and hobbled to his room on
crutcLes. His face looked pale and care.
worn, and he appeared depressed. The
movement for raiaing 100000 TO relieve
General. Grant from the mortgage
liability has taken practical shape. Mr..
Cyrus w. Field received to- day from ID.
B.. Wesson, of Smith & Weason, Spring.

contribution toward the fund being raised
for the relief of General Grant. -
