Dear Xettinel: On our arrival at Ois
plIaoe We.4AM ftm 'tIA L
amongst DP us of a deocion
from the party of enough members f
the Lcgislaturo, t.onablo itio '14 L
lig anS to elect id aY 4Y6b % %6'6a
Vn g"'Domercati theU liWN'6f J03stl
ship, and to th6 Unhodtate Sennte,
thereby defoiutitih -the rigtila eait
inieos of the DomQ01rd46 4a'tY.
There was much excitornut tiboutoIt
and a thousand wild :rumors were
afloat on the streets. After tho ground
was spied out and otcry. man illooat
od," it was disoovored that the .omp
crats were as :soljd as % r.ock, gnd
would march shoulder to -shoulder
until the completo and,pormancnL rp
domption of' Sotl Carolina was an
accoinplished fact., The Republican3,
supposing. that the blection of a United
States Sonator would come.up, hal, it
is said, agreed in caytctis to sulpport
Gen. Gary in oppositioh to'Gd. itt
lor, on accountof his sti-mig'opposition
to President Hayes, whom thdy now
regard as the Judas' Lcarlot of' their
party. and also to. defeat the choice of
a largo majority of .Democrats in the
Logislature. It is duo to Gon. Gary
to say that this arrangeiert was
mado without his knowledge or con,
sont, and. that ho is still as truo to the
priveiples of tho Domocratic party as
tho noodle is to the poleille, I am
assured, would never .onsont. to bo
made a party to any such political
chicanery. As to t1i Chief Justice
ship, the cry of tho Republicans was
"anything to boat Willard," and it
was currently rumored that in the
event Gon. McGowan did not receivo
thu Democratic nomination, they
would support him solidly, with tho
hope that the Abbevileo dlegation
wvouldi vote with -thomn and enable
themn to defeat the regular nominee of
the Democrats. Gon. McGowan, I am
amto would never consont to the use
of his name in this connection, but
the Radicals cared nothing for this,
provided they could carr'y their point.
This wals the prograummo, bolioved to
have been agreed upon .Uy thomn
when we arrived in Columbia,., but
subsequent events, I think, have do
moralized thorn so badly that they
hardly know whether they are Roch
publicans or Demoeidats. Thllero is
not thu remotest possibility or' dangs
or of a split in the rnuks of theo Demo
crats, and that they w ill elect the Chief
Justice or any other officer that may
come before them, is ertain as any
future event can be. As to the 'United
States Sonatorship, I do not think the
qjuestion w,ill ho touched at this ses
sion, for we hold that Gon. IButler was
legally elected last winter, gund if the
Senato should fail to give hinm hi seat
whlen it mects, then Gov. IIampton
will havotthe powver to appoint him to.
fill the vacancy, until the Legislatturo
meets and elects, in which event there
is no question butt what cen. Butler
wvill reccive ihn unanimons support nt
the Democrats and be triumphantly
elected. Corbin's chances fur the
seat went glimering with Chamber
lain's retiremon t of his preensions,.
and I hardly think thu Senato will
notice him. It will either seat Butler
or declare the sent vacant. As to the
Chief Justiceship, I think Judge WVii
lard is far ahead of all competitors,
and is certainly tho coming man.
Then McGowan, I believe, will hiave
an easy walk over the course for the
position of Associate Juistto. This L
tlyink, after a careful inquiry, is the
situation, as to these important offi..
ces at this time.
The .Iouse met on Tuesday purau-.
ant to Governor IIr.mpton's procla
mation, at 12 o'clock M., every Do .
mcra1'tio member being in his seat.
8pooker Wallace called the~ House to
Qrder, the Clork called the roll, n
quorum was annfOunlced.' The pro.
coedings were opened with player by
tho Rev. Mr. Martin,.and on motion,
tho Honse adjourned. The Mackeyv
itos, .or members of the' famnlus
"Rump," were nearl.7 all in their sohts,
and appeared to be peorfetly bewil
dered and dumbfounded when in the
call of membeis their namos Were
6tnitted. This course of procodate
was tenldered neocessary on accouint of
the uncertainty of the aotion of ah
Senate in reference to the seating of

battle was to be fought. the Rtadical I
Schatoi's wero all in their seats, ex

whotunder tho courtoous considetation I
of Judge Mackey, is now langnitihing
in Chester jail for issuing a fraudulent
school pay certificato for $62.00, and
John0son, the circuit, rider preacher,
Senator from the onmo cock county
of umlter. Tho absenco of these
two 4adical "Ptatesnien" made the
Sonato stand 16 Radicals to 11 Den
0Cratff.
13y irevious arrangement betweeni
Lioutenint Governor Simpson and
ex-Lieutenant Governor Gloves and
Swails, President of the Senato pro
ten Goaves called the Senate to or.
(1r, deliver-ed his farewell address,
tuined over tho President's gavel, key
of the Liout. Governor's . office, etc.,
to Svails and retired. Mr. Wither
spoon, of York, then arose and an- i
nounced that Lieut. Governor Simpson i
was prQtent aod ready to assume his
duty, and moved that a committec of i
thre be appointed to conduct hiin to i
thq chair. Brick Nash moved to J
amend by insor.ting that lie be sworn
in. A vote was taken on tie aniend,
imnt, adopted by a strict party vote-<
16 to 11. Mr. Simpson was condiuctedJ
to the Chair, and cadetshiip Whlit.te,
more suggested that a swearing officer 1
be sent for to administer tlio on' h.
TVhe necessity of sending' for this urli-t
cer was quickly disposed of by Mr'.
Shmnpson,'who said bunt ho had taken
the oath once, had been duly arid les
gally installed, and no power on earlthl
could amake him trake the oath again.
A t ti aInnounlcemen)t there was great 'J

ciring all the action of thme Wa:llae ai
Ilouise il legail, as well as to amako it ei
appear' thait Governor liamptoni was v
not legally inauguratL d, was met by a
a stern anid emphantic rebuko by Mr. (i
Simpson, who in his indigntation at t
the inj ust ice soughit to be heaped up- s
on him, made t,be Radicals cower and v
hang their heads. W.Vhen they found c
they could niot di ivo Simpson from r
his position, they at once caved in,
recconsiderecd their vote and permitted g
hiim to quiietly" assumoe the Chair. c
T his.was a triump) so far as it went,
but the great test was soon to follow.
Messrs. Gary, T1odd, Maixwell and f
'Counts appeared at the President's e
deCsk tandp prseniited thi ir c redentiial e15
to be sworn in. T1he Radicals obje'C- f
ted to the swe'aring in of these Sena, I:
tor's. hut Lie ut. Go- cr'nor Simpn P" ini
formed'*themn that he felt tha:t uinder' r
the hl ws and Constitution of the State d
it was his (duty' to administer the oath Ii
and( sh.iould proceed to do so. To this I
dlecisioni thle Rad(licails attemnnpted to Ilp. v
p)onl, but Mr. Simpson decided that t|
the appeal could not be taken on the a
'ground( thamt it was n)OL a point I of or- u
der, but a. question of organization, ni
wlhich muIsIJ neccessamially be disposedl ft
of beforo any point of order could be a
made. Tlhiey wcro then sworn in and 1\
took their seats, amid thme cheers from d
the galler'y andh hobby. The Radicals C
soon realized their complete def'eat and tl
quietly surrendered. Th us the comns n
pleto realization of all the Democrats r<
con tended for, arid which were our .A
rights, has at last been attained, and t<

DEAR SENTINEi: SinMh'' my eIIt 'I
uve no change of imylportanlce to' re
)ort in reference to the political-situa
.ion, except that the Democrats, so
ar, are masters of tho situation...,Th,e
osignation of Walker, Senator. from
Ihester County, mak9s ,,l,e -Sonato
tand 17 Republicans to 15 Democrats,
ind slicild the.Dumocrats succeed- in
lecting his succOsSor, of' Which tley'

itanl 16 to 17; and if Cochran should
.on1clude to to cu-ciperato with thO
Dnictiat.4, then wo would havo one
rnnjority; of this, however, I have not
rmuch hopo, foe, Judging from his voto
sIince wo assemblod, he will co OPIerate
wifth the Republicans. We cannot
iopo for all tho legislation necessary
to a rigid economy and a completo
'etienehment in tho affaiirs (f the
Joverninent until wo obtain control
)f that branch of the Legislature. This
f reports in Columbia be true, will bo
iccoMplished before a t great while,
,vithout the co-operation of Mr. Coch
'an, as certtain developments aro be
ng made, which will causo certain
tepublican Senators to '-leavo their

NVoodr'uff, the Clerk of the Senate,
v'ould give orders on certnin dealeus
~o furnish these wvorthuios with suchI
rticles and amounts as they desired,
n.I then issue ani order on the State
reasurer rca for paymnt a. The orders
b'ero all audited by the Comptro!le'
ienoeral and paid, Ceep such as
ave gone in to the bonanza bills, for U
hich t,he warrants of tihe Comp Jtrol lea' U
ave been issued. The original ors U
er's for these artLicles have been dis- '9
avered and the parties to whom they bi
ere drawn stand readIy to substanti- P
to the correctness of' thuese charges Ii
n oath. If' this be true, of which I
here seems to be but little doubt, the :
oats of these gentlemen will soon be t
acant and better men, if not Demo- c
rats, electedi to occupy them. Wood. t
Luff is also implicated, and the Senate r
vill probably have an opport.unity of l
otting rid of' him and electing a de, t
ont man in his place. This is only I
beginning, and there is likely, t.o be a
rattling amongst the dry bones" bo,
ore iL is through. The days of .ras,
ahtay in the affairs of' the State have
eased, and South Carolina c'an look
orwar'd with hope to a b>right and
iresperous furture.
As to legislation, there has been
oyiing done yet, except the intro
uction of bills, of which thoroe has1
eon a perfect flood, many of' which,
think it unnecessary to br'ing for
rard at this extra session, t,hough
boy are, perhaps, of sor'ne impJor'ts
nee, but could have been postponed
ntil the regular 8ession. The com,
ittce to whom they bavo boon re
rred have reported on some of them
nd legislation proper will begin next
[ondlay. The offiee of County Au-~
itor wvill be abolished, the pay ofc
ounty Coinmissioner's redutced, and
1o fees and salaries oftil other officesI
iaterially reduced. Economy and
stronchmoent is thie order of the (day.

-Tho withdrawnl of the military
roni Louisiana vii-tually settles, as in
iouth Carolina, tho much vexed Lou
siana muddle in favor of the Dcno%
ratic Stato ticket. Iow hopeful it is
o see that President Iayes has tho
wrve and backbone to dare, in the
aco of tho opposition of the utra
wing of the Republican party, to ex
-ento his constitutional duty. It is
ho harbinger, iL is to bo hoped, of a
Seturning to the limits of the constitu
ion and laws once more, from which
ve havo sadly wandered in tLeso lat
'er days. i ho bo not frightened
when a miad man stares" from the
>ositioil which ho seems to have tauken,
t will be well not oniy for huis future
-epu' at ion, bu11t for the wh'lolescou ntry.
We confess that we have been agree
ibly disappoin ted in the conrse of our
rauiduler.t President. We had bes
ieved that lie was a parlitizan andl(
vould servo his party, at whatever
ancrifico, in its inifamouis course, just
Ls his predecessor' had done. If he
ont inne to do justice to the South and
iold the scales with an eron hand, lhe
villI have donec more to heal the
counds engendered by the wazr, anud
nite the North and South in unity
I sentiment and the bonds of peauco
nce more, than: all the bt,ber' previous
gencies comnbinec. We are grat ified,
'e repeat, to see that the Priesident
as a back bone in him. The Radical
arty, because it had mouled Grant
i accordance with its will, thought
layes would be equally as pliant and
biding to their wishes, and becauso
bat, like Collin's ram, he has a head
I his own, they are now beginning
o send forth a mighty howl of indigs
at,ion, to try, if possible, to frighten
im from his course. "Those whom
ho Gods wish to destroy, tlicy first
nako mad"
There is at this time a great deal
>f speculation with regard to the
>roper' man to fill the Chief Justice
hip, and no little sectional preference
xhibited concerning it. Now, all
his sectional foe'ing is entirely, we
hitik, out of place. We, ourselves,
are not a fig who be elected, provided
ofill the following indisponsblo ro..
luisitions: An able, jurist, pure, un
ullied and honorable nmn, and a
ound Demrocrat. Weo want no other
[ual.taes than those, and we care not
romn what portion of the State ho
nay hail. WVhen men are chosen to
ffice more on the ground of p)er.sonal
references, than On. that of ability anid
nitegrity of c:haracter, wo need not be
stonished to see corruption in p)ublic
ficials, and States haninirg on the
'ergo of ruin and prostratuion. WVo
avo no objection to caucusing, for we
clieve that it is perhaps the surest
nid best way to get a man combining
lie above named qualities.
