PICKENS C. 11., S. C.: Thursday. Nov. 3O, 1870. Editorial Correspondence. COLUMBIA, S. C., Nov. 26, 1876. Dear Sentinel : On arriving in Co lumbia, I expected to find much ex citement over the political situation but to the contrary, I find that every thing his quieted down, though there seomq to be a solid determination amongst the Democrats not to be cheated out of i ho fruits of our victory through the action of a corrupt Can vassing Board; and in this it seems that we have the support of the Su preme Court of the State. It is duo to the firmness and impartiality of this tribunal, no doubt that peace and quiet reigns throughout the State, for had they permitted the Board of State Canvassers to carry out their infa mous scheme of defrauding the Demo. crats out of their honestly won vies tory. The insolence of the iRadicaE would havo been unbearable, and ii conflict would have been the result. But they have been balked in their shame, ful and open attempt at fraud, an< now, on this p)leasanit Sabbath morn iing, when they should have been a the altar of the church imploring Go< to soften their' hearts and forgive then their manifold sins, they are reposing in the common jail of .Rieblatnd county instead of being permit.ted to rejoic< over their inzfamay and luxuriate or money stolen from the people. ] beard a distinguished jurist say thiu morning that a majority of their should have been carried about a hal mile further and p)laced in charge o Parmele, where they might have beer in a small me~asuro,ma(de to comipensat< the State for what they have stole: from it. The entire Board was com mitted yesterday evening for con tempt of' the Court, and fined $1,5o( each. They will remain in jail unti the further order of the Court. Ther< has been a rule served on Corbin to show cause for the same off%nso, whichi is to be heard on to morrow, at 4 o'clock p. im. W hat the result will be, ofc<ure,can not be anticipated, but it is to be hoped that he will be made to share the fate of his ill advised clients. Tfhe Court has ordered ite Clerk to issue coi tificates of election to the Democratic members of Edgefield and Laurenis, but whether Jones, th< Clerk of the last House will placc their names on the role and call thorn in the organization of the House ro, mains to be seen. If' he does not, h( will be placed in the same posit.ion at that of the Canvassing Board, anc will doubtless be dealt with in th< sameo man ner. But the thijeves dijt hard, and they had rather go to jai ini the hopes of a speedy liberatial than to give up the "five years of goo< stealing in South Carolina." Tiher will evidently be exciting times o next Tuesday, when the Legislatur goes into an organization. WVhat I.l final terminatian will be can not t~ anticipated, but of one thing you readers may rest assured, arid that i that the Democ rats stand firm an determined, and have the best advit era in the State, Get). Gordon is sti bore, and will doubt less remain unt the difficulties are settled. Everyi hin at this time seemns to be working fI vorably. 41 will keep you posted o all important events. Myself and Mr. Biates are comfortg bly quartered at the Central Mott Col Biowen is located at the [Ienari Hiouse. Trle was a light snow at this pla< on Saturday mrning. To Our Patrons. Those who are in arrears to us must @ome forward and settle, or wo will be compelled to erase their names from our books. Many ot our sub scribers, who are good for the amount of their subscription have failed to pay us for Leveral years. We can not afford to furnish them the paper any longer, unless they pay up, and, however, much we may regret to strike their names from our list, duty alike to ourselves and those subscrib era who pay us, compolls us to do so. We have been paying postage, and furnishing many our paper for several years without a cent in return. This we are determined to do no longer, and unless they settle before the first day of January next, their paper will certainly be stopped. We have also determ'ned not to enter any more ntaes on our books without the cash in advance. 'I his will be the nnalterable rule of the office in the futuro. Our Repeser.iatives, 1). F. Bradley, and E. 11. Bates, and Senator, Col. I. E. Bowen, left on Saturday last for Columbia, to bo ready for the meeting of tbe Logislaturo on Tuesday 28th instant. It is to bo loped that this body will earnestly tuko into consid et taion the mtraitened condition of the State, and by a short session of four or five weeks, save to the State the unnecessarily onerous legislativo ex, penses of former sessions. Right here is the placo to commence reform, and nlow the is the Lime. 'I lhe Democrats, if they be in the majority, will be ex, pected to make good thei promises of reform and retrenchment. Up to the time of going to press, there is no Legislative news. This body was to havo assembled on the 28th instart. We are anxiously await ing to learn the finale of tho election trouble at the Capital. The Rads hang on like 'eches, and seem un willing to be convinced that they have been beaten, and must release their iron grip. The result, of' the 7th of No venmber was so unexpected, like ai clap of thunder ina a clearm sky, so ab-. solutely stunnming that they' cannot realize it. Personal. Mir. Weolls, who is travelling in the interest of the Greenville Daily and Weekly News, called upon us a fewv Idays aigo. We wish Mr. WellI-Ie cess in circulating on this side of the Saluda, the valuable paper ho repro-'C sents. The Newvs has done the Dle. mccra (ic cause a va.st amoun t of goodJ during the recen t cam npaign, t hrough out upper Carolina. .Ito wvill be herc on Friday next to remain for severa1 days, and1( all persons wiinlg to sub scribe for his paper will have the op, portuuity to (do so. Cotton being nearly aull sold, we imagine that we can hear the farmer exclaim: "My cotton's gone and I have gotten nothing for it; I'm a poor~ ce man than I was a year agO.' Economize, farmers, alnd buy just as little as you possibly cani. Remember, taxes will soon be upjon us,~ anhd they have to be paidl, money or no0 money. It behoove. ever one to be frugal and economizing. Success aus a people lies only in t his dIirection. What Chamberlain Says. Th'le Chicago Tribune of the 12th has this: WVAsurINGToN, D).

This word, which in its different orms, hais become common in the owspapers, is of Louisiana origin and | ogro parentage. Last spring in the B arishes of East and West FeliifinaD ~nd East Baton Rouge, large num- u ers of negroes began to join the Dem ~cratic party. The Republican lead% P ~rs determined to p)ut a stop to it, and 'fi ormed secret socio ties for the purpose ir >f whipping in the backsliding ne ~roes. Among these was the famouse -Union Rights Stop" at Mount Pleas- F rut, on the river, whlichi caused so nuch trouble, and was finally broken - ip by the sheriff, when their oaths, 7 )y-lawis, and lisL of members were J :aptured. Trheir' plan of action wvas to pot a colored man who was suspec- ,a ted or Democratic proclivition, then to b ser'vo a notice on him to comno to a uertain poi't and take the oath of' lhe brethren of the Union Rights Stop. Itilhe did not come they 'served a sec ond notico, then a third with a threat, and if he still refused, a detachment of the brethren was sent after him at night, and lie was brought in tAid and handcuffed. lie was then told to sign the Stop and take the oath. Usually terror made him comply, but if he ro fused he was put down and whipped wvith a bull-whip until ho consented to join the league or leave the State. In very obstinate eases the brethren , wore in the habit of administering a 'bull's doso' of several hundrod lashes on the bare back. When doaling with e those who were hard to convert, ac tiva memhars would call out "givei D the whip and let me give im a ill dose.', From this it becaeno easy any 'that fqllow, gugnt to bo bull ised, or bull-dozed," and soon bull Zo, bull-dozing, and bulkdozers me to be slainu words.
