THE SENTINEL D- F BY Editor. Thbraay, 3aroh 20. 1877. A Vacillating President. President Hayes in his inaugural, rnade doolarations which load the Ieqplo of the United States, and more eyeojialy thoso of the South, to be Lieve thob be would purstue an hon orabor and just course towards South Carolina and Louisiana. In fact, his juan#gers at Washington assured the Southern Democrats in Congress that if they would prevent fillibustoring in the HIou(3, and suffer Hayes to bo inaugrAtod, that tho first official acts of his Proiidcutial career would bo the recognition of Hampton and Nicholls. These promises wore nado in such a wa hAs to leave no doubt in the minds of the Southern Democrats but what they woulti be promply and honestly carried out. Indeed, Hayos, since his inauguration, declared that hi.; South.. orn policy meant, "Hampton and Nicholls," and the people in South Carolina have been "possessing their souls in patience," awaiting the prom~ jsed order for the removal of the Un,ited St4tes troops from tho Stato House. 'lhe.. composition of his Cab inet gave fresh hope to tho fair prom isos made, and the Radicals had gave up their cause and.wro ready to ac. quiesco and acknowledge 11ampton as the Governor. But it appears that Mr. Hayes finds some troublo in carrying into effect his fair promises. The "boss bulldozers" of tho South, and the "bloody shirt" politicians of the North have got hold of him. They havO informed him that it he is Pro.. sident of the United States, that Pack ard, at least, is Governor of Louisiann, for be actually received more votos than did the Hayes Electors in that Stato. That to recognizo Nicholls would ho an acknowledgment of his fraudulent title to the iPrositioney. This soms to have caused a change to come over the spirit of his dreams. He vacillates, flounders about and gets deeper and deeper in the muddy waters. He calls b s Cabinet together and has a long con' tdtation with them on Louisiana affairs, and by a vote of 4 to 3 (one majority as 8 to 7) the conclusion is reached that it would be best to send a commission to Loui siana, headed by -his Vice President, Whccler, to invcstigato affairs and report the results back to him. The0 delegation is made up from both po.. litical parties, bpt douhtless the same care in selecting it was taken as was observed in tho selection of the El-. loctoral (Commiission and1 in h)is Cab inet. There will doubtless be one majority and his friend Packard will be sustained. Xn the matter of South Carolina, he has decided to havo Hampton and Chamberlain appear in person beforc his august majesty andl plead their cause, A letter to this effect has boon written and sent to each of' them. Whether Hampton will ob)ey this summons cr not we do not know, but trust he will not. He is the Goyernor of the State, and we will havo none other. All the bays onots in the United States can not reverse the decision ot the people and all the courts of the State. Hay-es has niothing to do with. South Carolina ex cept to remnovp the troops from the Stato lhouse. This is all that Governor Hlampton has asked of him. It is all the people of the State desire. All the Circuit Judges have doecided that Hampton it the Governor. Thoj1 SuI promo Qourt has confirmed these de cisions, and the people have still con firmed the decision of the courts, and no power on earth can reverse it, except brute force, Mr. Hayes nood not muddle his dull brain much over South Carolina. The courts and the pooplo have settled the question, and we intend to have Hampton or revolution. Chamberlain shall never bo Gover'nor'of the State, and it is just as well to speak out and give him and his henchmen to understand it, Lot our people make up their minds to die, if .pocessary, rather than to give up their constitutional rights and submit to a usurper forced upon themi by a fraudulent President. H#yes in .the o4tset.of his administra,. tion has shown himself to be a weak < man and a willing tool. Hoeoither ( has not the nerve and independence r to moot the situation of affairs or the o#aee.;to comprehond it. We neeod not exp anyting from him, for he is i dosMs in the~ hands of the meanest 1 type of politicians in his party, and a Jike Grant, his whole efforts will b e, direoted towards building up and sus sustaining his party. le is not to be the President of the United States that was never ih'tended by the icoundrols who put him in by fraud and perjury. le is only to be the President of tbe Ropblican party. All the promises made by him and his mnanagers have been snarea and traps. k'heir only thojught was to get I power and then retain it If they could. They never intended to- carry out their pledges. W, have no confidence in any pledge a Radical makes, poli Lically speaking, and the sooner our leaders come to the same conclusion, tnd cease to try to effect compromises with them the better it will be for the party and the country. Lot us hear no more of compromisos or bar gains with tho Radical party. Why was it not Done I Wo learn that there are some of our citizons who are not willing to pay their Railroad tat unless they can know how much their assceement is. Ex- County Trensurer Lesloy still re, tains the books in his possession and refuses to give thoin up, and it is not possiblo for Captain Berry to know What each man's assossment is, unless ho could got possession of the books or a duplicate of the assessment. The books should bo in the possession of the County Commissioners, and would have been placed there at the last court if a case had been properly made up and brought before 'Judge Cooke. Why the Commissioners did not at tond to this important mattor, we do not know. ,They must have some good reason, or the books or a dupli cate of the assessment would now be in the hands of Capt. Berry, aid lie could proceed to collect the Railroad Tax without difficulty. We have been asked by soveral citizens why such a proceeding was not instituted at our last Court. They know that Judge Cooke, at Anderson, Abbeville, arnc we believe in Overy County in iS Circuit, except this, and perhaps Oco, noo, whore the Treasurer and Audit or had resigned and voluntoerly tur'n, ed their books over to the County Comnmissioners, passed an order r'e quirinog the defuinct Chambehrlain ofli cials to turn their books over to the County Comnmission ers. Every body in this County expected similar action but to everybody's surprise the case was not b.rought beloro him. \Ve are not, able to say why the proper steps to have the books of the Auditor's oflico and the reasurer's otlice turn, ed over to the County Commissioners were not taken in this County. Per haps those whose duty it was to insti tuite the proceedings can answer thte question. State Constabulary. Governor Hampton has appointed Colonel William Butler Chief Consta ble of the St4le. He was Colonel of one of the regimenta of Confederate regulars during the war. HIe wais also an officer in the old Unitod Stat, os Army. Colonel Butler is now en gaged in raising the requisite number of deputy constables throughout the State. Consolhdated. The Augus'aC Chronuiclc and Sontinel and the Constitutionalist have been consolidated, arnd will hereafter be p)ublished as the Chronicle and Con stitutionalist. Trhiis leaves Augusta with but one daily, but the ability and energy of the Chronicle and Constitu, ionalist will make it sufflcion tfor any oudinary sized city. The citizens of A ugusta have lost nothing, while the prIoprtietors have, p)erhlaps, gained a good deal. WV. Peter Suddeth,indlependent, beat Capt. Allen, the regular nominee of the Decmocratic party for Alderman of Greenvillo last Tuesday, by a very heavy majority. This is rather bad for~ the Democrats of Greenville. Was there any "bulldozing in the election? Theore is to be an oxtra- session of CJongress beginning on the 4th of June. The fariluro of the two Houses it the last session to agt ee on thie irmy appropriation bill, renders an 3xtra session necessary, to provide for4 ,he pay of the soldiers. The case of Garmany, for the mur ior of' Van B. Hendricks, in Greenville iounty, has been postponed until the 1 'ext session of Court for that County. The loss of New berry by the fire was 150,000. There has been an appeal nado to the public for the help of the ufferers. Those who can should te1n The United States SenAte. h The Radical majority in the United m States Senate hAs been materially re-, t( luced. The Itadicals now have 89 o mnd thd Deknocrats 88. Senator Davii o .s a liberal, and if he co%operates with t he Denoorates they will have 84.- a rhere are only three tmore Senators, A which are to come from Louisiana and M South Carolina. The contest frot' 't Lhit State is now between Butler and v Corban, but we are of the opinion that 4 neither of them, on account of the ie'- o regular manner in which they were e elected, will be seated, and the election will bo referred back to the Logisla-- i ture when It gets Into rogular working t order. Then no doubt Genoeal Butler I will bo rogularly elected, and w ill be r proinptly seated. But as the case c now stands, we think there is but ( littlo chunce for him, while there dous t not soom to be a particle of chance for < Corban. From Louisiana thoro arec two vacancies, which, if the NicholPs Government is established will be filled by Democrats. This would give the Democrats 86 in the Sonate, ( and with Davis 87. Then the Repub lican majority would only be two. Two moro years will give a Demo- i cratic majority in that body, when the Democrats will practically have the government under their own control, notwithstanding the Republicans will have a fraudulent President. But as the Senato now stands, the Republi cans cannot count on an absolato ma jority, for there are a few Senators classed with that party who frequents ly vote with the Democrats, and as things now etand there is a probabil ity of a split in their ranks, which would give the Democrats a majority as it now stands. Great Fire in Greenville. On Saturday morning last, about one o'clock, the citizens of our Moun, tain City were aroused from their slumbers by the fearful cry of fire! The heavens were red with the lurid glare of the conflagration, and many a heart beat with fearful apprehen-. sions of the result, and there was such a comnmotion we hopo) never to wit noss again. On approaching thec scene, we discovored the new and beautiful brick rainge on Coffee and Miain streets wrapt in flames. Thei storo of Morgan, Davis & (Jo. hadi succombcd to the devouring element, and the namos were licking up the fine brick range on Coffee street, built and ow nod by Messrs. Burgess & (Gilrcath. The centre of this block was known as the GJILREATII OPERA HoUSE, fitted up in elegat etyle, wit h fine scenery, &e. The~ corner stor'e iln this block, at the corner of Main, was ownod and occupied by WV. C. Owings as a wholesale and retail liquor house. T1 he par Lies occupymng the burnt range were Mossrs. Jas. H. Morgan & Co., with an extousivo stock of dry goods, groceries, &e. They had just received 15,000 pounds of bacan, deposited in a room in rear of their main store. TPhey wvore insured for six thousand dollars, Mr. J. B. Miller lost about fifteen hundred dollars, on which there wvas no insurance. Messrs. W. A. Long& Co. saved a part of thoir stock. and had an insu, ranco policy for fivo hundred dollars. The fine drug store of Wostmoro. land & Sloan, just completed wvith much taste, met with a heavy loss, they being insured for four thousand dollars. A great deal of their stock was saved, and they will be In mos tion again in a few days. Messrs. WV. A. Long & Co., a young firm, sustained some loss, although most of the stock was saved. They have an insurance of five handred dol. lors.c Mr. W. C. Owings occupied the , corner of Main and Coffee streets.- t The loss on his brick building was lt three thousand dollars. Hoe saved .I m~ost of his stock of liquors, etc. At the time of the fire a p)erfect 3almn prIevailod, which saved our little t nountain city. The firemen acted 1 lobly, and their conduct elicited ap-. >lause on all hands, many of them n ixposing themselves to great danger. I )no of the front walls fell, and but for l ,o timely notico, "Look out I" f overal lives would have been lost, as ,o falling mass struck the brick wall r >f the building of HI. A. Caublo on h he opposite side of the street. Tihe e iro companies workpA like heroes, a m<4 have gained a reputation they ti invo nobly earned.. About 50o'clock a. mn., the fire being mbdued, and all hands exhaustedi in rying to stop the devouring elemenL, weo retiring t their resec-.

Maj. Stewart and the boys in blue f vere promptly on the spot, guarding e he piles of goods in the streets, and I was a pleasure to witnoss the zeal I nd energy which the various fire 1 ompanies displayed in saving old xrecnvillo from a terrible conflagra ion. The work displayed on this oc -asion cannot be excolled by thO vOt iran fire brigades of Now York, Phil. Ldolphia, Baltimore, and olsewhoro; tnd a au,voy of the premises will con. rinco any ono that the firemen of 3roenvillo arc tho greatest workers n the world. Greenville has been very fortunate n the way of fires; and the scones of Festorday will never be forgotten. We have reasons to bo thankful to a kind providence that 'our pretty Hountain City- was not reduced to ishes, for not a breath of air 'was stir ring, and a sufficient supply of water was on hand to meet the wants of tWe 3nergotic firemen. Our people may well be proud of the numerous cistorns 3rocted by our far.-seeing council, and we do hope that the samo spirit will itctuate our city fatheis to further ef, Forts to preserve and protect the in Lerosts of our entire people. We have 3utffred a great loss, but those who .re the greatest sufferers are mon o 3nergy, who will in a short time flina >ut their banners to the breeze, with ow prices to cheer them on, and Wills ifficient to surmount every obstacle. J. HI Morgan & Co. had a large itock on hand, and have an insurance >f six thousand dollars. Messrs. Westmoroland & Sloan have Ln insurance of four thousand dollars, Lud will lose about two thousand dol Messrs. WV. A. Long & Co. have an nsurance policy for' five hundred dol ars, and having saved a great part of ,heir' stock, will come off light. Thos.0 WN. Davis had ai large stock >f goods on hand, and was insured for Lon thousand dollars. Mr. WV. C. Owings lost his brick buildi ng wvorth three thousand dlollars nda part of his stock, and had no nsurance. Messrs. Gilrcath & B3urgiss had three 3rick stores, including the opera :ouse, together with a large stock of stoves, etc., on hand, and having no naurance, will suffer heavily. The~ pera house was wecll furnished with inoe scenery, benches, etc., and will Le a great loss to the city, Mr. B. .F. McDaivid bad a good stock of family groceries, etc., and was nsured for two thousand dollars. Mr. J. WV. Miller lost about fifteen undred dolla's, on which there was 0o insurance. G. W, Parkins lost about one thou sand dJllars, covered by insurance. We congratulate our peolo on the avorablo result of the fire, and must ~ay that the citizonni, black and white, iad discharged their duty faithfully. Yestorday overything was quiet, and wben we saw W. D. Good win dispon, 'ing his generosity among the many Iremon in the streets, we felt that vo had a few generous souls left who ould app)r3cialto good ser'vice at the >ropor time. Capt.
