EpIroR CLARION: The Agricultural
Lien Law has been rrpcalc d, and it il an
unsettled question whether lien can I've
given on u crop after it comes up. The
question to day affects perhaps half the
population OF Mississippi. IL will soon he
planting time again, and numerous farm
rr. do NOT know whether they can expect
credit or not. They, therefore, do uot
know whether to rent land for 1857, or To
make arrangements TO work as bands.
Crops are fully one-half short in Copiah
county. Some farmers haven't corn
enough to last until April. Unless they
can get credit OH their crops after
being planted aud up, 1t Is useless
for these men to make arrangements
~ do otherwise than work for wages
OF course very poor men, ike
great majority of the class referred TO-
can't obtain credit except by giving
a lien OH their crops. That IS All
they expect to own, which would oe
like money to the merchants Wno
furnish. A merchant can do nothlhk
with old wOrn-out horses and farms,
and We have no market for cattle
Fat beeves sell here for eight to ten
dollars. So merchants can't furnish
COOKS OH property thdb "o" W. 49,

get some guarantee of receiving. the
crops for supplies, the supplies viii re,
main in New Orleans. Even our best
farmers are behind this year, and many
merchants can sell 10 more goods Oh
credit. They will simply wait unit
another crop is made, by which time the,
will have Judgments" against To,
poor farmers for the balances on pur
chases this aud previous years. Al
fast as the cotton is ginned, the ',jndg
ments" for old debts will wipe it up
while the man who furnishes in 1855
can get nothing, unless the crop cal
| be niortgaged. There is division o
sentiment among best lawyers upon thu
question. That being the case, canno

Our esteemed correspondent sets
forth some Of the difficulties result
ing from the repeal OF the lien law !;
but we think he takes a gloomier
view Of the situation than the facts
or the laws relating To liens, judg.
ments, etc, woul seem to warrant
The merchant, in the absence OF q
law To secure himself by q lien ION
crops TO be growp," will, in majority
of cases, he very willing TO accom-
MEDIATE his old customers who NAV
need supplies until such time as
the cotton is Ia sight, when the
nsnal deed OF trust can be given.
The merchant cannot prosper with
ont the business Of the farmer, and
where the latter meets his obliga
tions as fully as industry and econ
omy enable him, he will continue To
get all the credit that he wants, and
more, perhaps, than may be for his
good. We have heard very little
complaint, OF late years, " over
charges by those who furnish sup
plies; and, as q rule those who cult
vate the soil are as severe v ecouon.,
ical as they well can Ue. The d.
mand for the repeal OF the lien law
came from the better class, aud it
indicates a noble resolve to he eman,
cipated from debt, or the temptation
to incur it, that was most praise
worthy, and although the effect of
it's repeal, IN q short crop and low
price season, like thia, may work
in some instance, III.
general outcome, We trust, will BE-
Pending the discussion Of the re-
peal of the lien law, in the last Leg
Islature, we took occasion to remark
that we did nos regard the repeal or
retention Of the law as q necessity,
nor did We apprehend that serious
results would follow the action Of
The Legislature, whatever it might
he. We saw DO special urgency for
its repeal-beliesing, as rule, that
those who wanted and were worthy
" credit, ought to have it, but that
he evil effects OF the credit System
we're so apparent, it would be eener-
ally abandoned rs soon az circum-
stances would admit, and without
compulsory legislation. Several
Of the legislature voted for
The repeal of the lien law, more in
Difference to the expressed wishes
IF their constituents than the
promp,ings Of their own judg
ment.
Tue repeal Of the lien law can
only work temporary Inconvenience.
L our correspondent will refer to
Sec. 1864, Code 1880, he will see
that it expressly provides that "a
growing crop shall not be subject
To the lien of judgment, nor shall
40 execution he levied on q growing
crop" Section 1859, now repealed,
made it lawful for persons to make
and execute mortgages or deeds OF
trnst, which shall be valid and
upon the interest OF such
or grsntor in such crop,
subject TO the paramount lien Of
landlords. Persons owning or cul
lands under lease, had the
power at the common law to encum-
Der groUing crops, hut did not have
he right Ia cucumber crops TO be
grotrn within fifteen months from
The making OF the mortgage, and il
is not believed that the mere IepesI
II the section 1859 of lSS0-will
have the effect to impair ,his com
mon law right. We think the "poor
farmers" of The interior, after their
crops are planted and growing, can
cucumber them now as heretofore,
and that judgment cannot take pre-
,elence OF any such cncumbrsnce.-

way it came about was in this way, while
crossing bridge near Irwin Clark's the hlb
of the wagon caught on the end of log that
had been placed on the side of the bridge
for the purpose of repairing it. The contact
with the log threw the horse over the log,
and the beast was kept from falling over
the side of the bridge into the water by the
harness. Neighbors assisted Mr.. Barton in
getting the horse out of the dilemma. The
animal was not hurt hut the harness was con-
siderably damaged.
