Kayes Title. Congrese, before its adjournment, by a vote of 225 to 14, declared that in as much as a former Congress had declared Hayes elected President of the United States, by adopting the Eloectoral Commission's count. N6 future Congress had the right to question his title, and that, notwith, standing the frauds by which he ob tained the office, his title was legal and unassailable. This is legalizing faud with a vengence. Personal. Nr. C. McKinley, the able and In dnstriops reporter of the Charleston News and Courier, came up to Pick. ens on last Friday. His mission is to gather and report all the facth in re, ference to revenue outrages in this County, and he has found rather more thra he anticipated, and the columns of the News and Courier will be inter, eating reading for Revenue officials for several days at least. Mr. McK. made quite a number of friends here, and the general desire is that he shall come again. The Asor Heard From. The Azor, the vessel in which the colored emigrants left Charleston for Liberia, has been heard from. She has touched the Afrinan shore, but had not, on May the 19th, the time at which Mr. Williams telegraphed the News and Courier, reached Liberia. Measels broke out amongst thbe emi grants and, to add to their dist~ress, ship Iever broke out and twenty-three died. Despite the loss of life, the emigrants wore in good spirits and filed with joy at the prospect of soon reaching their destination. From a later dispatch, we see the Azor arrived at Monrovia on the 3d instant. The emigrants were in good spirits, and were warmly received. Court. Court convened .at This place on~ Monday morning last, his Hon. Judge Xershaw presiding. His charge te the Grand Jury was full, forceable and instructive, but, o'ving to its great length, we can not nzotico the points in this issue. That portion of' it ini reference to the revenue laws and their enforcement will be published next week. In the matter of the Ladd murder, by revenue officials, a change of venue to Anderson was granted, and the case is to be tried at th.et p'ace next fall. In this ease, Capt. Earle, representing the prison era, stated that It was the intention ol the parties to carry their caee to the United States District Court, and made a motion, which was granted, that the question of transfer be argued at Greenville next Tuesday. We de not know the views of .Tudge Kershaw, on this question, but feel confident that the right to transfer will be de nied and the case tried in the State Vourt. In this event an appeal may be taken to the Supreme Court, of the Stae, and It may go from there to the Supreme Court of the United States,.and it may be five or six years * ~ before the eases are finally tried. The question of jurisdiction comes squarely up in this case. There will evidently be a clash between the State. and Fed, eral Courts, and that our Circuit and Supreme Judges will be equal to the occasion we have not tho i~lightest doubt. lilly Bowen and --Bowen, her son, were tried for grand larceny.---. TIhe womnan was acquitted, but the boy was found guilty and sentenced to the Penitentiary for three months.

Sprin-er, of Illinois, sub committee of the e. of iOpresentative, passed through Colurobia, on the 12th inst., on' their* return to Washington, via Greenvil'e, S. C. The committee has been to Florida to investigate the Presidontiaf frauds, and are said to have a barrel full of testimony of the' most damaging character, and so con. lnustvo in its nature that even 'the Republican 'member of tho committee said to an old triend, a resident of Cos lamrbia, that be "was astounded at the result, perfectly astounded." The people have long known that the States of Louisiana and Florida was counted for Hayes by fraud, but they will hardly be prepared for the as tounding revulations that will be brought out by this committee. Like Mr. Hiscock, they will be perfectly astounded at the repult. Collector Brayton, who has recent ly returned from the mountains, nqys that there is no truth in the statement made by THE PICKENS SENTINEL ex cept the bare fact that Ladd was kill ed by the deputy marshals.-Colu mbia Register. We did not expect that Collector Brayton, or any of the Revenue scamps acting under him, would ac knowledge that there was any "truth in the statement made by THE PICK ENS SENTINEL;" but we did expect the Columbia Register to be fair enough to publish our statement in connec tion with those made by "Collector Brayton" in order that its readers might be in possession of both sides before making up their opinion as to the truth or falsity of either. But, in stead of this course, the Register takes the statements made by "Collector Brayton" and his subaltorns and pub lishes them to the world without a single word of contradiction, which clearly implies that the Register en dorses what is said by "Collector Brayton" as the truth' about this bloody affair. Iz the Register is in sympathy with these ruffians and murderers, it should have had the manliness and courtesy of giving thc public the benefit of our statement be, fore publishing, on information of "Collector Brayton" that it was false. We stand by our first statement, and every word we published can, and will be, substantiated by truthful wit, nesses on the parit of the State. The commendable action of Judge Ker shaw, at WValhalla, in refusing bail to three of the p~arties, is, at least, a par, tial vindication of what we said, the statements of the Columbia Regis ter' and "Collector Braytoni" to the con, trary notwithstanding. Perhazps somebody has been taking a game of "seven up Walhalla Court. In comp)any with Maj. Lewis, our popular'Clerk of Court, we left Pick, ens on Sunday morning, 16th inst., for the purpose of attending Court, a few days, at Walhalla. We went by1 way of Central and stopped at Mt.] Zion Church, one mile below Central, where a quarterly meeting was in progress, but, owing to the large at tendance and the crowded condition of the church, we were unable to se-1 cure a seat and, with many others. < were obliged to remain outside of the church during the preaching. The< pulpit was occupied in the forenoon by Rev'. 0.. A. Darby, Presiding Elder, and at 8 o'clock in the afternoon by< Dr. Jones. Here we met many 1 frieds, and learned from them thatt their crop prospects at this time areJ good, notwithstandhing the damage i done scma of the farms by the late t hail storm-. From this point we wended our ( way over Into Oconee County, and ( spent the evening and night under the a hospitable roof of the lion. B. Frank ? Sloan. Mr. Sloan was an active and useful member of the last, Legislature, ( and is a popular citizen of his County. 1 The cordial and warm-hearted recep- a tion extended us by Mr. S. and his t accomplished lady will remain a green Jla spot In our memory for all time to d come. On Monday morning, in company il with Mr. Sloan, we left for Walballa, p a distance of fifteen miles, which we reached in due time for the opening a of Court. This was the firet opportu- 14 nity we ever had of seeing Judge I Kershaw preside, and his dignified and Ii courteous manner at once convinced ti us that the judiciul ermine had fallen n upon worthy shoulders. is charge ft to the Grand Jury was clear and for. y osable, giving all the changes nysde In y ob. law by the last 1.egislatr'. and i Instr!ucting them follyig t4sgr q r ~' - as the grand inqust of the count the conclusion of his charge Grand Jury, he was informed. Norton. acting Solicitor, t we-e only two cases fer thl #1 bide, ration of the Grand Jury, but as the bills of indictments had not been prev. pared, they would not be handed the jury; whereupcn the Judge instructed the Clerk of Court to prepare pay certificates for the juries, and they were all discharged. The recent change in the law does not allow the trial of any, except criminal ,cases, at the summer ses% sions of the court, and consequently no civil business could be transteted. This provision of the law, we regard very wise, for it shortens the session and lessens the expenses on the coun ties, and allows tho' farmers who are drawn as jurors to at once return to their crops, when there is no criminal bufsine0sR to bo tried. The cases of the revenue officials for the killing of Ladd came up before the Judge on a writ of. habeas corpus for bail, the result of which was given by ue last week. At 1 o'clock the Court adjourned, and the Judge re turned to his home in Camden, by the 9 o'clock train on the Air Line Railroad that evening. Walhalla has improved considerably since the war, and is blessed with ino schools and a college. The citi, mens of the town are intelligent and industrious, and always extend a ,ordial greeting to visitors and strang ,rs. During our short stay, wo met rnany friends and acquaintance,.,w. mongst them Senator LivingstOivnd Representative Verner, who have served their County and State ably and Faithfully in their respective houses >f the Legislature. Mr. Vrner, we learned, will likely be a candidate for re-election, and will doubtless be re Lurned to his field of usefulness by the voters of his county. -We loft WValhanlla on Tullesday. morning, and :lriving across the country by way )f old Pickens, a distance of 28 miles,: reached home, at 4 o'clock the same Judge AMackey in sentencing WVm. solo, at the lateo term of the Court at Charleston, for burnmng a car belong ng to tihe South Cairohtna Railroad, maid that owin to the extreme youth >f the convict (nine or ten years old) t ha~d beeni l.is intention to sentence iim f or a brici' term in the coun ty jail, ut that the mother' of tihe prisoner ind called upon him and requested ,bat ho send him to the penitentiary 'or life, as lhe was a desperate crimni% izl and it was dlangecrous for him to inte his freedomn in the community, ,hat thle prisoner had a perfect pas, 'ion for burning houses or anything .hat came within hlis reach, and she zoped thus to save him from the gal.. ows.

Thomp ion, State Superintendant of Educa-. ion. From the idea I draw from his ieows, lhe seems to work under the adical order altogether. He wants ho trustees or officer s of the State, to imploy the most competent white eachers to teach the African race, ~aring nothing at all for the white 'ace, Hie seems to be highly gratified with the progress of the negro chil Iren, especially in Charleston. From mis conversation, he seems to think hat the Commissioners and Boardscof Sxaminers in general, are quite igner ~nt, not being competent to examine eachers as ho is to prepare the quess ions and send them himself to the ommissioners. He surely thinks our 30mmissioners are "light tricks,'' and urely are fcr being con trolled by such big rad as Thompson. G. W. Singleton has revoked all the ertificates of the present year, and vilI hold now meetings 27th, 28th, nd 29th, to examine teachers under he new law; but what 1 can learn,1 e will be by himself, as teacobers are letermined not to teach any longer, oard themselves and got nothing fbr , so 1 do not think'he need to hye ut himself to the trouble to'han iven notice through the SENIIrkarI nd if the teachers are so mInded'jo )SO all their time in attending the board and getting no pay for their abor, it is their own look out.

Rev. Robert Patteson, a dist in gnished divine of San Francisco, and formerly Qf this city, made "Com mmnm" the theme of his ser!mon last evening at the Central Presby. terian Churcb. le says that the principles of the commnunists are to strike at rightful legal authority in all its forms, and that they would bury it in confusion and anarchiy. Where they have their own way, they permit a man to labor only a fixed number of honre a day. They fix his wages and pre. scribe what sort of a house lie shall live in, what he shall eat 9,d what he shall wear. They even claim the rigbt of say ing, if they choose j that lie shall cease his labor altog ether, an~d that he shall come out of' his workshop and join the rioters in their work of devastation. The danger that they will be able to bring atbout what they desire is not great. Even it there are four hundred thousan d Comm~unists in this country, as is claimed, it onmd not be done.
