THE SENTINEL Is PUBLISHIEb EVERY THURSDAY. D. F. BRADLXY, Editor. PICKENS 0. H-., S. C.: Thursday. November 29,1877. Two More Gone. Jared Warley, colored Senator from Fairfield, has reoigned his seat In the Senato. It is also reported that Sam my Green, colored Senator from Beau. fort, has also rosignod. Thus passes away the satellites of a past regime into the shades of private life. DoWn to their Death. A frightful accident occurred on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad on Friday last. The trestle work over Fishing crok, near Rock lill, gave way and precipitated the entire train, save tho ongino, into the surging, swolon waters below. The two passenger coaches dropped into the middle of the stream, and only a foot of the coaches were vissiblo above tho water. Most of the passengers escaped from tho windows of the coaches and lodged themselves in the branches of tho trees. Five or six passengers woro killed or (rowned, and others badly bruised and injured. The numbor of livos lo-3t is not defin itoly known at this timo. The westward bound train on the Air Lino Railroad also, on last Friday night, ran into a wash near Wright's, killing the engineer, Mr. Smith, and slightly bruising tho fir(w-1:1' . ~lc I, f kk ItilLi helections from the further consideration of the Butler case of S. C. Amendment after amend men t was then offered by the Repub, licans, but wore all oted down. Pat terson, of' S. C., Conover, of' Florida, and Davis, of' Illinois, all Republbcans, voting at each time with the Demo crats. The Republicans became fright cued, and resorted to dilatory mo tions and fillibustering, but Patterson, Conover and Davis still voted with the D)emocrats. Finally a motion was made to ad,. journ andl was carried, Great pr*es sure has been brought to bear upon Conover, to change him in his detor mination to voto for seating Butler; but his friends claim that lbe is conscien tious in his~ course and cannot be moved. The indications now are that Butler of South Carolina, and Eustis of Louisiana, Democrats, and Kellog of Louisiana, Republican, will be sont ed. .lion. D. F. Bradley, editor of this journafl, left home on last Sunday en route for Columbia, to be at the post or duty at the opening of the present session of the General Assembly. The present session is likely to be an im% por tant and protracted one. Several different committees have been ear nestly at work during the past Ruml mer uncarthiing the frauds and cor r'uptions of the prcceding Radical ad ministrations. These committoes will mnke a rep)ort to the pre'sent Logisla, ture; but none will bo of greater im p)ortance or is likely to Consume so much time as the adjustment of the bonafide indebtednces of the State, or' as it is commonly called "the bond question." Mr. Bradley will keep the readers of TIIE SENTINEL posted on all these matteors. The annual communication of the Grand Lodge of A. F. M. will convene in Charleston on the 11th December, pr'oximo. Excursion tickets will be issued by all the railroads to masons aind their families desiring to attond. Masons proposing to attend must, get certiticates from their lodge, and must purchase their tickets at the starting point. The Grand Secretary's certifi. cate of atten:Janco will not be recog, nized as return tikets. Round trip tickets can be bought in Greenville at $10. The d welling of Col. Jacob Frooe man, of Aikin county, was entered on the night of the 16th instant, by burglars and robbed of a considerable sum of money. The burglars-mseven in nunmber-wore all caught and are n inj Aikin j.ail an iaiting trial. HIon. 3. B. Campbell, Democrat, has been. oooted to the Senate from ChorIestopi county, vice Gaillard, col oredi Radionlr resigneoil. Washingtea Correspondence. WAsHINGTON, Npv. 24, 1877. The various heads of departments and bureaus are at present engaged in ocllecting the' materials which will form the basis of the estimates and annual reports. Yeeterday afternoon the character of the President's mes.. sage formed the subject of the discus. sion at the Cabinet meeting. The estimates asked for will probably be in excess of those of last session. In, creased expenses, resulting from bus, iness deferred and accumulated from tbo insufficient appropriation of the last session, must be met. Business is progressing in Congress at a snail's pace. The army appropriation bill will probably soon be passed, unless the two houses come to a dead lock on the subject of the numerical strength of the army, and it scems im postiible to avoid a conference as each house exhibit a disposition to adhere to its position. The report of Gen. Sherman to the Secretary of War shows that on October 12th the army was composed of 24,501 officers and men, only 20,610 of whom are availa blo for war, and clearly sets forth the onerous duties devolving upon the in sufficient bodies of soldiers stationed at the frontiers, hurried from place to place "without rest night or day" at great expense of life and money. Cor, tainly this great nation owes it to thoso who defend its frontiers that no niggardliness should increase the per ils which, at the best, are necessarily exposed. The report goes far to ex onorate General Howard from the charges of lack of ability and vigor in conducting the recent cam paign. No action has yet boon taken on the Bland silver bill by the Senate o.ommitteo, but its friends express .henselves very confident of a favoi able action. Garfield's speech during the consideration of the resumption repeal bill was received with much favor and warmly commended by the hard monoyites. At this writing it is not, possible to say defimutely when a vote will be reached on the bill. Ther' does not appear to be a do,. sirable unanimity as to the action to be taken relative to the governmental participation in the Paris Exposition. If' there is any one direction in which wvise statesmanship can nowv be exhib ited it is in opening nowv channels and markets for our domestic man ufactnr oe. Almost daily our leaidinig busi, ness men are in receipt of letters from abroad showing that one and another class of American made goods airc dis placing foreign m anufactur-es and in,. dicating a wide spread aIpprIeciation abroad ot the excellence anid desira bility of' our products; yet we find men in Congress who consider that they are practicing economy in limiting the facilities to lay our products in the greatest mart of the wvorld. The ma,. jority of the IIouse committee on For eign affatirs recommended an appro priation of $100,000 for American representation at the exposition, a sumn none too large In view of the im portant results with which the Com missioner is charged; but the substi% tute of Mr. Cox, of New York, redu ces this to $50,000; a like sum is ap propriated for an exhibition of agricul tural products under the dirction of the Commissioner of Agr-iculture. If such an amount may be properly ap,. plied for the presentation of cno class of our producets, it would seem that a similar sum to exhibit all classes is altegether inadequato. A committee of leading manufacturers from Phila delphiia is expoected here soon, in advo cacy of a generous and far-sighted course by our Government It is proposed to relieve inventors from the burden of replacing or repairing mod,. els destroyed by the late fire, by an app)roprialtion of $45,000 to be used for' thait purpose, under the direcLion of the Comnmissioner of Patents.' The Japanese indemnity is again to be brought before Congress. The mon., ey has never been turned into the Treasury by Uncle Sam, but been held by the State Department. A strong prof that justice indicates that the fund was obtained in an unlawful manner, and that national honor de miands its return. Weo can afford to be just to a nation now, emer-ging from great obscurity into the full blazo of the world's civilization. A cornmittee of one hundred of tne first citizens of the capital has been ap)poin ted to askc Congro.s to frame a form of govern ment and assume at least 50 per cent of the debt of the District, The city contains 7,161 acres of land, laid out by President Washington in person, under an act providing that all hsuch streets, squares, parcech and lots -as the President should select for sites for the public buildings should be 1ir ever held for the ueo of the United States." A moiety of this land wPs sold, and after paying 836,000 to the original proprietors, a sum was real ized sufficient to pay the cost of erect ing the Presidents House and the Capital. Congress, up to this time, has appropriated only $6,000,000, while the District bas expeyded over 885,000,000, of which 623,000,000 is represented by a debt, and 812,000,000 has boon paid by the citizens. The tax payers and the United States be ing tenants in common, each should contilibute their just proportion for the good of the city. I Ax. VIENfiA, November 24.-A dispatch from Tifles to the Press says, "the Rion corps will shortly attack Ba. toum with heavy artillery. The Cau cassian insuriection is increasing. The insurgents stormed the fortified town of Hassar on the first instant and captured the garrisoi. LoL,nON, Nov. 24.--Mehemet Ali telegraphs from Orchanic, Thursday: "We arrived here to day. The Ruse, sians sent one regiment of infantry and one of cavalry from Vratza a gainst Nevesich. Thcee regiments, except six men, destroyed. We cap' tured two guns and a number of pris. oners. Conversation with leading business men of Cincinnati reveals the fact that there is no such wido spread opposition to the resumption act as has been pretended by the anti-re sumptionists. In a column of brief interviews upon this subject, collected by the Commercial of that city, two out, of overy three leading merchants express themselves in favor of letting the resumption act stand as it is. The Charleston Journal of Com, merco has been auithorized to an nounce that the namo of WV.D. Porter 'vill 1)0 placed before the Demno, cratic caucus of the Legislature for the position of Associate Justice, when the alnticip)ated valcancy occurs. Hion. D.

The only true way to promote health and vigor, which are essential to regularity of the organic functions, is to invigorate, discipline and purify the system at the same time.
