GBRENHvILE, S. C., June 5, 1878. 1 Mr DEAu SEzTIK.E:-Since I read quc your comment on my comtnunication wil In your issue of the 80th ult., I have wOl bad a first class barber to shingle 'l my "hgd," and he says it is about as P 'level as he can make it; and not der having given much attention lately fro1 to mechanics, I am at a loss to know anc how Iam to "get.2ny head a little vili more level;" but-and if there be any bla process by which, or through which bn I migbt carry this "self constituted" bel thinking apparatus of mine, and not Mr destroy the moral gravity of the Gr< thing, I certainly would like to find adv them. -Be that as it may, I am glad ing to know that I do disagree with you Jus in some tiings. Now, of course, I bio1 must tolerate primaryllections, tioin- calf iiatlag conrentions, but can I toler- rop ate cliques and rings? But you do, a g and this is just where we differ, and was will ever differ, unless you become roy 'a little more level." Now, I took rav these four words, primary elections, we nominating convention, cliques and easi rings, together, and in the main sing would allow, for the present, the first to I two, but never the two latter. You, frot in acknowledging your disagreement, and virtually tolerate and would foster coir the whole, while I would eject- was erase-the two latter from all our he, political lexicographies. I woul have law tiem expunged from all (ther dic- we tionaries, except in the sense of the that clicking of a clock, or in -that of all till other useful machinery, as for in- and slance the clicking of a trigger just -1i behind a bnll that would wipe ont all n1ev "my dear Josephuses" from the face one of our ioblo old State. Afid except tan < in the ringing. of a bell when we are hungry, and in the riniging of aIl An,( other good rings- as the ring on the Wi tore linger of a beautitul lady, how- was ever distaiteful it might be to a 'few (Iry would-be lovers who are thus noti- .fror fied silently that ''thieir. cake Is and dough." Now, if you think I have lia ie'eled down aniy on this subject,' I con shall be content, and shall take much wet pleasure in -assisting you and your turi man~y readers in making rough thr( places smooth; and' I know if y, n tfu live long you will have to pass overle many. 'san I was in attendance last night up- tow on the city Deinocratic club, and sch4 must say we had a good time gener- oth ally; everybody firing "a squib."- to1 You will find when you visit our F'ro club that it is "right side," and as the ready to do battle in '78 as it was in ed t '76. The negroes are cordially in- COr'i vited to join ns or organize clnbs eot (Democratic clubs of course) of their has own. fouu Now, to be brief and- to conclude, and I would talk of something useful to sa Ds all. Everybody likes a genius, twe and we all like, above everything H else, to have our clothes fit well, even C- I it they are of the coarsest fabric; and str'ui in order that your readers may know bev where to get good fits for thetnselves line and the boyse, I would most earnestly cow recommend Mr. A. B. Morrison. He villi is an Englishman Americanized, and full worked here tour or five years ago, '48, s mnany of the readers'of THE SEN- clot TINEL will remember. He is a per-- he tect adept in the cutting and ini the malt fitting up of a job, has no equal here one So. bring in your .dry goods and see said "Morrison," it door south ot Court no I liouse. If' I eould not come over temt to Pickens soon, I will write iin a satt week or two, and if I do come and one~ should not see you, I will write any she way. Druoco. bac Maeyour farms so valuable by he conistantt improvement, skillful cul-'. tm'e, good fruit,-or'namental shrub- bri bery~Ad plemsat surroundings that cro no) htu3ne wonid tempt you to leave pac 'Is.W*tbin'k t should be the set, A Trip Down the Country. )EAR SETINRL-As--yo'U have re sted dots from different parts, You I publish this scrip if you think it -thy of space in your columns. 'he first plaea we will notice is reetown', whicijs located in An son Co., on the main road leading n Anderson, C. H., to Slabtown, ther leading from there to Green e. It consists of four fatnilies, two Dksmith shops, one wagon and ,gy -shop, one store. One mile )W, we came to the dwelling of W., who we met last July at >ve btation, who was a strong ocate of fencing stock and .turn out the farms, which he has got. t before coming in front of his so, my attention was drAwn to a tied around the neck with a a 15 or 20 feet long to a stump in rove of timber, and its grazing a patch of dog fennel and penny.. al, which it didn't devoilr very inous. One mile below Mr. W's left the A. and G. road, turning ward two miles to'Orrville. Pass there, some 4 or 5 miles, I came dr. E's, who was taking his mules n the wagon. He spoke to me I stopped. After the usual ipliments, he asked me where I from; I told him P. "Alt," says "you have not got the no fence up there." I told him no, and didn't want it. He remarked he had been enlarging his pas that there was fifiy acres in it he feared his stock would perish is 136t charge was, for God's Fake er have the no fenco law. I drove mile and took lunch and fed my k. We then crossed the G. and . R., some fifteen miles froi ierson, C. 11. and five or six from liamnsto,. The next Ilace of note stan toi vi 'le, situated on a high, ridge, whiero the road leading a Orrvillo to Cooley's Bridge road from Honea Path to WVil itn cross. It is in a de1apidated d~itiont, the buildings are old and ther- beaten. From this place~ we ted down the II and W. road, e miles below we come the beau I little place Calhoun, which is ted in one of the prettiest, white, Jy country we have seen for ai ni. There is a nice Baptist church, >ol house, two shops (one iron, the ir wood) and everything seemed eo alive to their several interests. mn this point, four miles down in direction of the Toogalo, I cross he Ander'son line into a small ter of A bbeville and down to the mod1s mills of Mr. M. E. He a brick house, 80x85, two stones, -'sets of runners (two for wheat two for corn) cotton gin, circular His mills are on theToogalo, rty four miles from Anderson C. md twenty miles from Laureuns I. H is d welling looks well con q?sd from the' road; lie is in Ab lle county, two miles from the four miles from where four itios corner, Anderson, Green I', Laurens and Abbeville; he is bloodded Irish, and came here in without anything except what les he had on his back, He says vould not take $10,000 for his hinery. lie has fine stock; I saw of his cows and priced her; he he might take $500 for her, but ess. He said lie wet to the Cen. ia'ltou bny some) fine stock, not ~fied with his, but did not see but that he would exchange his for, br tight 51,500, and he come k home eatis tied t hat his was good. then crossed the river just above mills at an island, whore the first Ige extends to the Island, then sing the Island, some 20 to 30 es, struck the other bridge; as )as we crossed tlu we landed in Ladren~e county;~ derih eight as, landed at oildietig e ' and heard an able sermon by Rev. E Sunday was rainin*g and we did no go to church. We 'remained ther until Wednesday, when we starte en route'for Lome, travelling ove the same road. On our return w did not see anything further worth of note. We~saw some fne-flelds of whea while we saw some that was sorry [ saw one field belonging to Capt. W. one of the agricultural standar bearers of Lanrens, that was verj tine. Corniand cotton was looking well-rather small for the season farmers seem to have it in good con, dition. I saw some that were it lovor of the stock law and some wh< opposed it. Big Matt was the strong est for it. The majority that I hear speak of it were not in favor of it. RUST1C. 'he Bayonet Era in the South Carolini State House. In the course of his speech on the army bill delivered in the House o Representatives a few idays ago, the Hon. Milton I., Southard, of Ohio introduced some very interesting telegrams and testimony relating t( the dark days of 1876, in Columbia We copy this portion of his remarki rrom the official report in the Con gressional Record: On the 14th of October, 1870, thil telegram was sent by Gen. Shermat to Gen. Rtuger, who had pr eviousli been transferred to Columbia, Soutl Cal olina: fleadquariers of he Army, Washington, Oet. 14, 1876. To Gen. Ruger, Columbia, S.

Notwithstanding that telegram frow Gen. Enger, in which he said that all was peaceful and quiet here, mnd that if lie needed more troops he would call for them, and without Eurther information, the very next morn in g a proclamation was issued by President Grant, from Washing :on City, declaring South Carolina nU insurrection, and there followed inmerous telegramns fromn the Gen, ~ral ot the army, ordering all the i oops from th e A tlattic coast, from he extreme North to as far South as 'ortress Monroe, into the State ol ~outhi Carolina. Here is a specimen of the telegram ent: Headquarmters of the Army, Washington, Oct. 17, 1876. L'o Geun. W. T.

'In obedience to these orders from Washuington, all available forces were entm jnto South Carolina and other southern States under pretence 6f presrVt g order~ bi wit Ahn . tiken of those States, and the eb c t tions were controlled in violation.< s the constitution of your country, i I viulation of law, and in violatio r of every principle of justice an D right. r ot only that, it did not stop therq military l'ossesion of those State t was continued until long after th elections. The Legislature of Sout Carolina was organized, not by th I members who were elected to it, bi by the Administration here in Wash ington through the use of Feders troops. I hold here in my. hands th official telegrams relating to that or ganization. There was a disput about certain menbers from Edge field and Laurens who held the cer tificates of the Supreme Court; the; were to be ejected. Governor Cbam berlain sent this telegram to Wash ington City. Columbia, December 1, 1876. Hon. J. D.

McLin pigeonholed the ,othe' returns, laid the Driggera returnb* fore the board, and it was cn Ho did this because it was the ns~~ formal-and "the most favorable t H ayes." He also joined in throeIu out en ongh precincts to give Hay~ an apparent majority of eight or nixr e hundred. After theo Baard compldi ted this canvass, Gent.
