SENTINEL D. F. 3ADEY. lditor. PICKENS 0. H., S. C.: TiLIay, March 8. 1877. Inauguration of Hayes. Th6 fraudulent President, and Vice Presideut were inaugurated on Mon. tAqy gaat,;The inaugural address of f Haye6Ie oms to breath a fair spirit toward, the South. The inaugural is too long for our columns this Week, but we will give it to our readers noxt -reek. We clip the following tole. grAma from the Greenville News: WAsuINGToN, March 5. Xothing unusal characterized the in agural coromonies. The procamionn was small, but well handled and or derly. . The programme was followed in all its details, and nothing was owittod that was set down in the bill. The display to night is wonderful. Gov. Sheppard has disregarded ex .penso and tasto in decorating the Avenue. No attention has been paid to.cabinot or other serious matters. Col. Bristow, of Kentucky will almost certainly succed Judge Davis on the Supromo Bench, Ex-Sonator Key, of Tonnessoo, will be Postmaster General, Evarts probably for SccreLa ry ofStato, Morrill, Socrotary of the Navy. The indications are, that old affiliations in the Ropublican party vill.bo disregarded, 4nd it will be sought to make oil and water mix. The day is raw with snow flakes. Joseph E. Johnson, and E,Sonator Keyo, of Ten nessoo, are most pIoin1 ently mentioned for the Cabinet from the South. Carl Schui z will havo a place. The now Government, will be emo tioial. The Radical Party. The Radicals do not seem jubilant over their succomi in stealing the Pro, sidoney from the D)emocrats; indeed they rather scem dejected and consci ence stricken. They know that their chance of success four years hence has been utterly destroyed and as a party they must go dowvn to posterity cover ed with shame and infamy. It their loaders at Washington had had the courage to rise above the surface of party, and declared that Tildon had boon honestly and fairly elcted, and should be inangurated, they could have in a measure recovered their lost ground. But the opportunity has passed; the theft has been committed, and nothing remains for thenm only to step down and out wvhcn the people have an opportunity to speak again at the barllot box. The sickoning ed'ort of' the Hayes manages to build up a wvhite Republican party at the South, by giving prominent Southern men Cabinet positions, will never succeed. No Southernor who.has any influence or following will accept a position in 2Mt. .Hayes' Cabinet, unless he is left free in the exercise of his political faith. If there is to be any concessions or abandonment of principle, there will be none found to accept the po pitions, if any should be tendered them, besides, it is not likely that men of high integrity and ability could be in duced to accept positions under a fraudulent President. Though, if there is to be no conditions or sacrifice ph principle imgosed upon them, it might be better for the South that, they accept the positions. Then mis-i representations and slanders could be met at tbe throshhold, and tho iron hool of military despotism migh t be kept off our peoll. God knows we have suffered enough in the past eight years. Whlat the South now needs is pence and rest from political excites ment and turmoil. If any arrange ments can be made with Mr. Hayes, by which this result could be reached, it would perhaps be best for the South to acoQpt it; but as to the building up| of a white Republican party in the Soubh by any such moans is an im possibility- Democracy in the South mana honiesty, capacity and good government, while the term Recpubli Eakn',i synonimous with corruption and g4t.yChng repulsive to refined nature The wl4tos are a unit for the Demo. erraoy, and no political chicanery of thJRadiba1 managers can ever break thef1iahks. The negro is fast falling frdtiesans,and four years from now the Radical party will not be able to muster a corporals guard in the 8owehb; Its days are numbered, and Alhotii4 men will leave its ranks as ~~ ts desert a burning ship. And famn~ are going to '~Ak~ae.9Ad the ocean in tho'iong The 4uestion Settled at Last. Governor Hampton has at last gain. ed recognition by the Buptetne Court. I Judge Moses, Chief Justice, it will I be remembored, was stricken down i with paralysis befbre the case was de termined, but Associate Justices Wil. lard and Wright made up and filed an opinion which was to have been deliv-. ered - on last Friday, recognizing Hampton as Governor, and ordering the prisoner Tilda Norris, (the convict pardoned by Governor Hampton) dis charged. But before the day arrived the Radical chiefs got bold of Wright and bulldozed him into an attempt to reverse his decision. He wrote an other decision, dictated by Chamber, lain and company, and sent it to the Clerk of the Supreme Court unsigned, accompar.ied by a note stating that he had concluded to revoke his former decision. This, Judge Willard decid, ed, could not be done without his con currence, and hence the first opoinion, recognizing Hampton, stands and cannot be revoked without the con currence of a majority of the Court on a now caso. WO clip the following from the Columbia Register: "At 12:15 yesterday, Judge Willard entored the court room and took hib j seat upon the bonch. Ho stated that he had hoped to be able to proeeit his views in support of the order of this court this morning, but that the ab-|i senco of Judge Wright prevented a f session of the court. The reason of E Judge Wright's absonee was unknown. | ie had been son in town yestorday. t Willard had instructed the Shoriff to t .all at Wright's house, and wis there r informed that the Judge had not boon c ccn since yesterday morning, and c that his wheroabouts were unknown. ( Tuego Willard stated further that he i would reduce his opinion to writing t .ind file the same with the Clerk, and e thcreupon adjourned the court, until Monday morning at 11 o'clock. The Clerk of the Court thereupon ( furnished Col. Parmelo, the Superin, tondent of the Penitentiary, wvith the order signed by Judges Willard and, W right, directing him to discharge the prisoner, Tilda Norris, under the par, don of Gov. Hampton. 'Iho Clerk: ailso provided a statement that Judge Wright had, after the order waIs madoe and filed, left him e4ith a statement that ho had concluded to revoke his p)rovious decision, but that this was done without the sanction of the pre siding Justico. it is undlerstood that Col. Parmoe will discharge 1 he pr1isonerI as directed by the court. Judge Wright has evi dently left the city. It is state:I that a strong belief pr1evails that lie will not return. T here was accompany ing the statement above referred to of Judge Wright a lengthy opinion, uin signed, which it is said was the wvork of Chamberlain. It bears traces of his handiwork. The scheme which was concocted with diabolical ek ill, evidently contemplating an expected recognition of the Chamberlain gov ernment at Washington. based upon a disagreement of the court. But it bas signally failed. The court, as such, has declared the law to be that Wahde Hampton is Governor, and no action of a single Judge can change the result, whatever considerations have moved him to be guilty of so stullifying a transaction. Siuce writing the above, we are positively informed that Tilda Norris has been released. The pretended revoking or second opinion of Judge Wright was not signed." Personals. Cols. Keith and Thompson, of the Koowco Courier, and E. B. Murray, of the Anderson Intelligencer, were in attendance on our court this week. We are alwvays glad to meet members 3f the press, and trust they may live long and prosper. Our esLtejn.7'( friend, Major T. HI. Il.ussell, an old 'vpo, gave us a call during the week. Hoe has a host of friends in this section, who wish him many years of life and prosperity. The Supreme Court of the United States has lately decided on a Rail road case, that an exemption from taxation granted by a State to a cor.. poration, is such a franchise as will not pas upon a sale of the property exempte:l. Hence the Air Line Rail,. I way Comp~ny will undoubtedly have to pay their Stato and County taxes from the date of the sale of their road. It is said the loss of' stock in Texas1 from the~ snow and cold will amount to millions of dollars Court Convened at this place on Monda; ast, Judge Cooko presiding with'i zsual dignity and ability. His charg to the Grand Jury was short bu pointed. He said that the duties c the court would be abridged on a< oount of not having a new jury, an regretted exceedingly that the meet ing of the court was not under a favorable auspices as might be wishe as no pettit jury had been drawn, an all jury cases of necessity would hav to go over. He did not know tb reason why the jbry had not bee drawn, but they would inquire int the reason and report to the court a to the reason why the Jury Commis sioner had failed to draw the jury. He brought to the attention of th jury the extraordinary proclamatio of His Excellency, Governor Cham berlain, on the 7th day of Octobe last, in which he said to the worh that lawlessness and violence existe in Barnwell and Aiken counties whie could not be suppressed except b, military assistance. le also charge that acts of lalessness and violenc iad*besn perpetr-ted in all the coun LIcs in the State. Tho gi-and juiy ii u t'co to themsolves aid their Countj iould inquire if this oxtraordinar )rociamation appiied to this County J the charge in the proclamatior ;hould bo true, they would report th( act to the court so that the propel tUps might be taken to bring th( ruilty to pInishument. If not true hey would so report to the coart, s< hat the chargo against the County night bo disproved. He ther harged the jury as to their duties ir xanining into the conduct of th 'ounty officials, and -' to the mannei n which they kept nd conductot heir offices; also, as t , the condlitior 6nd manner of koepir.g the jail, thi )oor house, &e. Solicitor Cothran not being present '01. W. C. Keith, of Waihalla, repre tented tho State, arnd handed to th grand jury the followin'g bills, whuicl avoro passed uponl by thme Grand Jury I'ne Stato vs. WV. Silas Kirksey, as miult, no bill; the State vs. Jeremial [Lu nt, assault and battery, no bil ho Stt vs. John Gaillard an'l Wil linm Gaillard, burglary, true hill; th Stato vs. B3. D).

Thme dlockets were then called, an such cases as did not require a jur' wero disposed of. On Tuesday morning, I1ayno G ib son was brought into court and plea guilty of steailing a horse, Ile wa sentenced to the Penitentiary for term of one year. Thbo Court adjourned Truesdaly ever ing. The presentment of the Gran Jury wi.l be published next week. The South Carolina Report. The Congressional Comnmitte ar pointed to investigato the electioni South Carolina, has submitted its re port to Congress. It is too length to report in full in our columns; be the conclusion as to our State officee is eminently satisfactory. The conm mittee report that Wade Ilampto and the Democratic ticket was elect ed; condemn the military int.erfem once in the organizamtion of the Le gislature, and applaud the het oic foi boaranco of our peop)le. They abo, conclusively that the intimidat.io was practiced by the Republica party, and that the troops wore ser to t he State to overawe the Demo cratic negroes and force them to vot the Republican ticket. In ieforenc to the eloctoral vote of the State, th Committee say': "From all the testimony taken th Committee are satisfied that, had th negroes been p)ermitted to vote ii they desired, the result would hav been the election of the Democrati Electors. A reference to the tosti mnony cannot fail to entisfy an unbi ised mind that such would have bee ,he result. In the 'low country,' bot yofore and upon the day of electior almost every kind of violence wa 'esorted to in order to proven t nogroe 'rom voting the Democratic tickel L'breats were first employed,and wher hey failed to produce the desired of oct ,he most cruel and bar barous mnen ires were resorted to; negroes wer' tripped naked, beaten with whip and clubs, and in some cases cut, witl cnives or razors, their only offoe )eing that they had resolved to votL he Democratic ticket, The negroc maddened by the report circulated ba unsernnulons na-ty er t hat,.... f th .emocratio party should be succe ' ful, in electingJ. ts candidams f0Oy s wourd again, be reduced to slavgry, a were like so many ferocious: anirals. t At some of the .oting preWincts, the If voters were nearly all negroes. UVpon . election day they assembled at the I polls armed with shot guns, rifles, M muskets, swords, knives, bayonets on a sticks, and almost every other con% I, ceivable weapon, shouting, cursing, d and threatening; swearing that they oI would (to usp their lang4uge) kill any e 'damned Democratic nigger that of n fered to vote.' As the nogro voter o approached tho polls he would be sot s upon by these armed men. If he had , a Democratio ticket in his hand it was - taken from him, a Republican ticket o substituted, and the voter marched n up to the ballot box with clubs - brandished over his head and com r polled to deposit his ticket in the pros I ence of hia assailants. It was by such I means that the voice of the people was I stifled and large majorities rolled u) r for the men who have biought ruin I and disaster upon overy business in > terest, in South Carolina, impoverished her people, made her treasury bank i rupt, banished from the faces of her r children the smilo of hope and left in r its stead a settled gloom and despair. "Your Committee report, in conclu. sion, that at no timo during the can vass was there any intimidation or attempted intimidation upon the part of the white people. All through the excitement of the campaign, alt,bough violence and lawlessness greeted them upon every side, although riot and bloodshed surrounded them, although they saw iniffensivo men shot down without provocation or exeuse, and no courts of law to punish the offen.. I dors, yet amid all they showed a moral heroism which must ever com mand the highest respect and admi ration. Judge Black Before the Commission. Judge Jero Black, one of the Demn iocratic counsel beforo tbe "high old .Commission" gave the Radical ma jority on it some stinging blows. SiIe r'eferred in a general wvay to the late history of the country, andJ said - it had left behind an cppression of c conscience with some, and with others I a burning senso of oppression noid in o justice. IIe would be willing to lead e a forlorn hope to save his country. e Ieo might. he willing to give his lifo to -- do this. Why should lhe not (10 what little he could to redeem the nation, d clothed as it is with infamy? For one y ho no longer took pride in being an' American citizen. Ho felt degraded - and belittled J When they came to ask for a slight s recognition of' their rights, lie felt that ai they might as well put their prayeirs to Jupiter, Mars or A pollo! Why, said -he. there is not a God in Olypus thiat di would not listen with more favor to our appeal than (turning to the Re publican counsel) the gentleman on the other side. (Laughter.) While s| we don't ask you (to theo Commission) n |to go behind the returns-wvo don't - jpresume to ask that -will you please y go to the certificate, not an inch b t j hind it? The Constitution requires s| the Electors to vote by ballot, and he -| asked whethor the Commission would n iinquire whether certificate No. 1 stat, ed that the Electors had voted by bals Slot or not? -| Thomas Jefferson was unjustly ac jcused of electing himself President by, yv counting an informal vote from Geor n jgia, If he was condemned for that, n jwhat must be thought of accepting a t| certificate much more informal in its -| character from'South Carolina? e Judge Black, after con tinuing,. the o condemnation of the fraud in South o |Carolina and the misgovern ment in the South generally, referred to the e| autonomy prop)osed by Turkey, and e concluded that after all the form of 8| government prop)osed for the Provin o Ices was more desirable than that of a our own. SAddressing his closing remarks -mainly to Commissioners IIoar and a Garfield, ho in dir'ectly denounced the b Commission for its decisions, and ro, , minded them that, though "the s mills of the gods grind slow they a grind dreadful fine.'' o A fire occurred at Camden, in this -State, on the morning of the 27th ult. * which destroyed property to the D amount of over $50,000. About a $40,000 of the losses wore covered by a insurance. The origin of the fire is a supposed to have boon incendiary. s The "nloise'' of that meteorocaudd quito a sensation thrioughout the County.

The President sent the dis. fitkh that ho inight have time to retire his pretensions, if disposed. The President says instructions have been issued which cancel all orders for the proForvation of the stat qqo and that neitLer you nor Packard are bound to observe thom. That; he means'the people of Louisiana are as free in their affais from Federal interference as the peoplo of Connecticut, and that there will be no disposition to interfere with them any more thati with the people of New York. The President concurs with us, that you immediatoly issuO a proclamation urging protection, amnesty and pence.

Beitig asked if Nicholl's officers should tako possession of tho offices in the Stato without mob violence, ould there be military interference, lie re plied: "Theio would be none.
