THE SENTIqTEL D. F. B LEY, Idlior. Thursday, Juno 14. 1677. The Legilature Adjouned. The Logislature adjourned sine de, at 2 o*block, a. m. on Saturday last. The work of the last few days of the se6fdon was of groat'ihterost and%iuoh importanoo to the State. Gon. J. B. Kershaw was olected Judge of the Fifth Circuit vioce Car% poter whose term of office bad expired. The House by the requisite two, thirds imajority, passed the resolution impeaching Judge Wright of drunken. ness, and formally informed the Sen. ate of its action. The Senate will try him at the next session, and in the moan timo he remains suspended from office. A committee consisting of Messrs. Hood, Bamburg, Coit, and Shaw on the part of the House, and Messrs. Moetze, Withoepoon, and Walker, on the part of the Senate was appointed to investigate the bondea indebted noss of the State, with instructions to report to the Legislature at its next moting. A committee to investigato all the frauds against the State dur iig the Radical regine in the State Was also appointed. The supply and appropriation bills wore passed. Tfo tax levy is seven I mills. The collection will commence as soon as the books can be prepared and the proper notice given. It is optionary with the taxpayer whether ho pays all or only onoshalf at tho first collection. If he profei to pay only one half, ho can do so by paying interest at the rate of one per cent per month on the other half until No vomber, when the last collectiouk will be made. Greenville Hotel. We call the attention of our readers generally, and of Piekens County p)articularly, to the short but unique notice of the Greenville Hotel, in this issue. Those who love good eating, elegantly and tastefully served, an at tontivo host who is over willing and able to make your stay a pleasant and agreeable one, we would earnestly adb vise to stop with Col. A. M. Speights. It is emphatically a place, if you be a good "catist," to stop. Call once and you will call again and no mis-. take. We know whereof wei speak. The Pence Law.. We publish elsewhere in this issue, the "fence law," as passed by the Legislature, and trust every farmer in the County will peruse and study it carefully. Already the subject is creating much interest and discussion. The advocates or opponents of the law will have the use of our oolanmns to lay their views before the public if they desire to avail themselves of them. Quo Warranto. The~ Attorney General has issued a quo warranto against C. W. Buttz, who claims to have been elected Soli citor of the First Circuit, at the last general election. The complaint sets1 forth that Bluttz held the office of So licitor and Representative to Congress and that his acceptance of the the offico of Congressman vacated the office of Solicitor. The Supreme Court will doubtless oust him. Thus "one by one the roses fall." Appointments. The following appointments have boon made by the Governor, for this County. County Treasurer, W. R. Berry; County Auditor, John 0. Davis; Jury Commrissioner, W. T. Bowen. Trial Justices: Xasloy Station, T. W. Rus sell; Liberty, John R. ilolcombe; Con,~ tral, J. A. Liddell; Easley Township, T. W. Tolleson; Piokens C. H., G. W. Taylor; Daoueville, B. F. Morgan; Pumpkintown, S. .D. Keith; Eastatoe, Maj. J. M. Stewart. The appointmonts were all confirmed by the Senate on Fridlay night before the adjournment. These appointments we think will give general satisfaction.to the people; The Country, we think will b)0 pleas cd with the work of the special ses, uion of the Legislature just closed, when they have an opportunity of seeing and understanding all its works. For tho benefit of the readers of the SsNNL we propose to publish from time to time all tho bills passed of ap,y intereat to them. The County.Comnmissioners met on Tuesday last and approved the bonpas of the newly appointed Treasturer ed Aunditor. As ad ed n ur at 1e atu inor g, h r4n pri no ere n nvic og il agree nd a rial Ir r1 The 1 no f one 6f parties on trta, Mr. Abner W. Atkin loished .AS a rriet of abqtl&A*" dah-4d I Ui ase. Six whfte men and oix negroes Domposed the jury. The ;iw' ,e Dopt Mr. George W. *ilIGX 114s, 1o was foremn v4be jewrAeewHa e publicaps in their prool' tes.,* It is anderstood that-the race division was perfect in the jury roim, all th no groes being persistent for conviction ind tho whites in favor of acquital. The end- of these test cases of the Ellenton troubles encourages the hope Lhat we are to be exomp$ iepeam ter from political persecutioqs, aqd that the machinery of the United States Courts will not be employed in the future to harass and annoy the citizens of South Carolina who Ipay incur the displeasuro and hatre of Corbin and his clan. It was the ex piring effort of tho bitterest Radicals to array the races against each other, in which Corbin, Ston6 and Earle did their utmost to keby alivo the animos ities of the past and rolurre' the 'em m rs of an unfortunate foud. Those been deserve the execration of every peace loving uitizen, who desires to witness an oblitdration of all memaory >f unhappy trdublos, which were only ?ossiblo while suoh as these ruled and governed thq State. The Ellenton riot was the natural outgrowth of beir advice and teachings of the last ampaign, and with the failure of their ?urposes in porsceutiqg mqn of their )wn race who were protecting their iomos and firesides from rapine and murdor, the occupation of these out% rage chriekers becomes vacant as it as long since been infamous. Whipper Whipped. In the ease of W. J. Whipper vs. I. P. Reed, theoSupreme Court decides that Reed was elected for a full term of four years, and W hipper's complaint is dismissed.

EDITOR: On Saturday, the 19th nstant, we attended a pionio;at Brock Rock, and we take great pleas4re in telling you what .a fine time we lhad. rhe Brock Rlock is situated abot wo miles south west of .Lib&rf,y Sta inn, and has ben for some time a avorito ,resort foi' blay p'tiss ~xhibits no bold out flhies 6i natuant ~randeur; he'ne if yon deiL this!ptace, L is either for the love of theibeautia bI, whit you take 'ith'you1 6t what rou~ expeot Seme one selse 4o being. I'hough there had ebeeni notbing daid mbout the pienic tuntil-a week prati., , by 1Q o'clock- utiany ,had oomxe toge h~er, sad wore.making the forQelt ring with merry laughter. Varied ind'3od was the scene presented to our e.ves. At ono view we behold the sportive little boys and girls delight. ing themselves with t,he curiosit- of the p'ace, the younIg gentlemen and ladies l.ooking upon each other with cou ntenances that bespake the heart,. stirring, soul-moving principle within; that principle which attaches such Importance, such profound in terest, such sublime romance, to a place so uninviting as Brook Rook. There too, was the dignified father, the thoughtful mother, looking upon the scene before them with refilee, tI Li a tc tig great and nIyateri us 0 ge#of li%-, Whilo we wde w i. j (not *t some interegtVi e race and sylph- forf o I ty as hey passe o and kingLhe-4d flowers, W th t Df 9appho, of Byron, and of all that zver .wroj oo that ..subjct. For a While, it leomed to us tiat'them Ination was tantalizing not with fooling that is commoi to, most men, about that time of day' predominated Dver us, and true to naturQ we re paired to the place that seemed to be Lhe conter of attraction. Here, be neath the shady boughs wo saw the white linen profusely spread with th choicest viands. We have often heard the saying: "many men- of many minds," but we were convinced, that at this game they were all of one mind, and that was to got -speedily, to get a variety, but with all their getting, to:get onough,.and,so wp did. There waa.good.Mr. A-- from Coqq Lral who supplied, with cid , bananas and ice lemonade, MhiQh ,wero quito refroshing.. As we wore,qow looling forward to po object of , common in. Lerest, we began to wander about in amall parLies, varying in number Irom one to five. Some would find it cool shado, and, though unwearied, would rest there. Others amused themselves with discussing the pecu h'arities of the luxuriarit vegitation, whioh led -them to. the language of Rowers, and this. to anotheir subject which occupied the afternoon. Thus Lhe time glided pleasantly away. Al ready we had had pleasures for the oye, for the palate, and perhaps some cordial for the heart, but now a breeze came from the south, upon its wings there was music-such music as comes only from the mellow notes of woman's voice. Some of us have strong souls-we are hard to movo,but we began to think we would need a parachute to come down in. We eo constrained to say with Chucullin; "sweet are the words of the sonir, and lonely are the tales of other times. They are like the dews of evening upon the hill of roes, when the sun is faint on its si'Ie and the lake is settled and blue in the vale." As a general rule, where there is so much pleasure, there is some pain-. so it was here, it was whispered the day before that Cupid would be on) the rock that day. Weo wero all fore. wyarned, but two or three young afnen were wounded wvhen they came, and two very promising M. D's 'who es, caped narrowly at the party down by the river, received some shots, "ThatL told the cruel darts, Hlad pierced their throbbin'g hbarts." if the wounds prove fatal we will send up their epitaphs writtoai ik an unknown tongue, .accotding to re quest. The resolut,ion to have a pionic at this place no more being unanimously adopted.--all well pleased, we nd journed. Somo are opposed to these kind of parties, but we think they should be encouraged. .They greatly onhane our social pleasures, improve the man ners, expand the soul "7and tree thei mind fro~m the corroding cares of life. Its good effects may be realized many years hence. BRUTUS.
