THE "NTINEL is rUBLIBIJED VERY THU4DAY. D* BR , Edit9r. PICKENS 0. H., B. C.: Thursday. December 20, 1877. Editorial Correspondence. COj,U1MB1A, S. C., Dec. 13, 1877. Dear Sentinel: Tho usury bill, after seven successivo days of debate, passd on Tuesday last by an over, whelming majority, the vote stand ing, for the bill, 73, againet the bill, 16. The majority for the bill is much larger than its most sanguino friends expected. To day it camo up for the third reusding, and upon its final pas.. sage, tho vote stood, 74 for, to 30 against it. It Dow only 'wants the signature of tho Governor to become a law, and I think there is no doubt but what he will sign it.. With the repeal of the ien law, the re-enact ment of the. old usury law, and De mocratic administration of the State Government, South Carolina will be, gin to rise once more from her pros tration, clothed in the habiliments of peace and prosperity. Several bills of some importance have passed a secon'. reading in the House, among them a bill to provide for the hiring out of able bodied male prisoners confined in the County jails, to work on the streets of incorpora ted towns and cities and on the pub lie highways in the State; a bill, to allow the Greenwood and Augusta Railt ond Company to pay the State in stock of the Company for hiro of the convict labor; a bill, to establish the new County of Palmetto, by dividing the County of Boaufort, and a bill to establish a department of Agriculture in this State I presume all theso bills will pass the Legistature 'without much alterations or modification. The most important bill yet intro duced, is wvhat is knowni as the "Maf let Rlegistor Law" of Virginia, and from conversation with members of both IIouses, upon the subject, I am quite convinced that it will pass without much opposition. If this bill b)ecomee a law, every man who im bibes the ardent, will be required to pay for every drink of wine, ardent spirits and mixtures thereof, the suni of 2i cents; for every drink of malt liquors and mixture thereof', i cont, and so on, ranging up to 40 cents on the gallon of winos, &c., and to 80 cents on the gallon of malt liquors, &c. The bill is very longthy, and goes into minute details of the wvork ings of the machine, which would re quire too much space to describe in a letter. If the bill shoonld pass, I will send you a copy, so that you many publish it for the information of our readers. Pickens has boeni very well repro sented in Columbia this week. Caupts. Berry and Hollingsworth have boon down. in attendance on the United States Court. Messrs. WV. T. McFall, T. 5. Bowen and L. M. Berry went down to Charleston, to the meeting of the Grand Lodge, and gave us the benefit of their genial countenances on their way home. Both houses have agreed to take a recess from the 20th instant to the 16th of January. This,is made nos cessary from the fact that tho public priniter will not be able to get the re, ports of the investigating and bond committees printedl tefo that time, and the Logislature cannot do much until these rep)orts are in, and, as members do not draw any pay during the recess, it will not costi the State any more, for we have so much work necessary to be done, and we can finish it up when we return. D. F.B. Elections. BI. W. Ball, Esq., of Liaurenso, has been elected by the Gratid Lodge, as Grand Master for this State, an dA. T. Smythe, Deputy Grand Master. Maj. W. W. Hlumphreys, of Anderson was appointed District Deputy Grand Master for this masonic district. Senator Butler. Senator Butler has introduced a ro. solptQon in the Senato asking that a strlotlbvestigation may be had of the charges made against him, by certain Redbicioan SenatorB, before his ad, IiddIqp tohib seat,and that the commit i ppt8be empowered to send iipe oj a #l papers. The charges i ma m ato~ Igy some unholy allianco, ,na'ah onom ;t, or by bribery, jgljdodoo yP &orson to vote for saaing khim. Zited StatewMtriot AttorA. It is reporked ifat D. T. Cvpip, of Kd-Klux notoriety, has beenopp'ini% ed, by President Hayes, as United St4tes D.strict (Attorneyfor South Cqrolina. No appointmogt could have been made more distastetul and ob.. noxious to the people of the State He prosecuted the poor Ku-Klux prisoners with a bitter and vindictive spirit; arid during the last campaign, when it was thought necesstry to ar rest a number of loading citizens, to aid the Republican cause, affidavits by the hundreds were manufactured in his office, and citizens of Aiken and other counties were arrested by the scoro. Ho is also charged with having used the phosphate royalty, belonging to the State, to bribo the members of the late Mackey House to elect hin to the United States Senate, and after having been elected; through bribery and corruption, did all In his power to obtain his sent, knowing at the time that he had not been elected by the legal House of Representatives of this State. Ile is a carpot.bagger of the worst type, and his appointment will not tend to conciliato the feelings be twoon parties and sections and estab lish that era of fraternal happiness and bounteous blessings which has boon Mr. Hayes' hobby. Other reports say that R. B. Car penter is the coming man; but he is also a carpet-bagger and is equally obnoxious. Railroad Matter. In the cases of Richmond and Dan villo Railroad and the Bank of Com morco vs. Pickens County, in which judgements were.obtainod against the County last June, the plaintiff made tin application to the United States Circuit Court for a mandamus to com pl the County Commissioners to levy a tax to pay off these judgements. The application for the mandamus came up for a hearing oue day last week and it was refused. If our taxes for the present fiscal year is collected before A pril we will have no Rlailroad tax to pay, as the plaintiff cannot make another application for man damus before that time. Charleston Election. We leairn from our Charleston ex, changes that Maij. W. W. Sale, the Democratic nominee foi mayor of the city, has been elected by a miajori ty of ovcr three thousand. We con gratulato the Democrats of Charles ton on their succes3. Ths wo' believe, is the first Democratin. mayor Char leston has had since reconstruction. The voice of the Cairo (Illinois) Bulletin is still for war. Thle editor is alarmingly pugnacious. He says: "The United States Government has already dilly dalled too much with the Mexicans, and it is high time that some decisive action should be taken. Let us have a fight." Hayes ought to call Patterson's at tention to the Republican meeting held in Boaufort to nominate a candi. date for State Senator. He promised to resign his sont in the United States Senate, if the President could point to a single meeting- of the Republicans since the inauguration of Hayes' pol% icy. .__ _ _ _ _ _ _ The now Constitution of Georgia, which was ratified by a largo major ity, is one of the best Constitutions ever adopted by either a Southern or Northern State. Its provisions indi-. cate the "solid South" is as fully im.. bued with the progressive spirit of the day as the people of any other section of the Union.-New York Evening Express. TIIE MASSACIIUSETTs ELECTIONS. The local Massacusetts elections are not so disheartening after all. Bos, ton, to be sure, has gone Republican, but in Lowell and some of the Reo, publican strongholds th ere haive been Democratic gains. It is evktent that the good seed has been planted, and, even in this hot bed of radicalism, will blossom into a satisfactory fruih tion. Who feeds all the dogs~?

Con% b gressman Mills received a dispatch last 9 night from the Governor of the State informing him that a troop of 300 Mexicans had invaded Elpaso and had v surrounded and attacked a detach ment of State troops numbering twen ty men. Fighting had been going on f all day. This morning Mr. Mills re% ceived a second dispatch from the Governor, stating that six men of the State troops had been killod. The t dispatch urges that the President be informed of tho condition of affairs and requested to send United States troops to the scene of act ion.c We notice that Col.
