GERMAN MILLET SEED.

4 MOTHER lot of fresh German Millet Seed ar
n rived on Monday. You can SOW it any time
now We think Jack Frost will not interfere
with the grass at this late day. It is for the bene-
fit of those who SOW it, after careful preparation,
to know the real value Of good and long needed
thing in the way of long forage. We also have
some Hungarian Grass Seed, which is good
thing.
for yourselves what it does It beats pulling fod-
der in August, when the sun is hot. Buy it; try
it. You can get the seed from US.
A word to the wise is sufficient, in regard to
one of the mos. important things to the farmer
Milet Grass. We have pair of mules that did
not eat anything for four months but Millet and
Hungarian Grass Hay Some men doubted what
was said. But this is true. No one but those who
have made the Millet Hay know the value OF It,
We do not speak of it as coming from some one
else; we know from actual experience We have
the seed fresh and the time is near when it should
be sown. We ask you, for your own benefit, TO
SOW it, and reap one Of the greatest harvests you
ever saw come from the land.

Especial Dispatch to the Yorkvlle Enqulrer.]


COLUMBIA, S. c., April 25, 1877.
The Legislature convened yesterday under
the call of Governor Hampton. In the House,
Speaker Wallace took the chair and had the
roll called. A quorum of the Wallace men,
bers being present, the House adjourned be-
fore any of the Mackey members presented
their credentials. The object of adjournment
was to wait the developments of the day in
the organization of the Senate.
In the Senate, Gleaves took the chair. He
had the roll called, delivered an address, and
turned over the chair to Swails, President,
pro tenn.
A motion was made by the Democrats to
have Lieutenant Governor Simpson conduct
ed to the chair, which motion the Radicals
amended by requiring Simpson to swear in
before the Senate. Simpson positively refused
to take another oath. The Radicals finally
yielded the point, and Simpson proceeded with
the organization, admitting and swearing in
Senators from Abbeville, Laurens, Edgeheld
and Barnwell. The Senate now stands 10
Democrats, and 1S Republicans, counting, as
Republicans, Cochran, Of Anderson, and
Corwin, of Newberry.
The Democrats expect to secure major
ity in the Senate They are delighted with
the results of yesterdays proceedings in the
Senate.
In the House, the first question arises
whether or not the Mackey members have
vacated their seats by not attending the WAL
lace House.
The Democratic party is harmonious.
Prominent candidates for Chief Justice are
Willard, Aldrich, MCGOWAN and Porter.
There has been no caucus as yet for the nom
ination of candidate for Chief Justice
The Democrats have clear majority on
joint ballot.
The prospect is favorable for short ses.

The correspondent says that ignorant colored
men and a few desperate and disreputable
white men, believe they can take revenge by
a method of this kind.
A committee of the Packard Legislature
called on the Commission and requested their
friendly offices in securing compensation for
policemen and employees who had remained
faithful to Packard The Commission had
an interview with Governor Nichols, Lieu
tenant Governor Wiltz, Speaker Bush and
other prominent members of Nichols Legis-
lature in their behalf Nichols, after con-
sultation with his associates, offered to donate
from the Governors contingent fund some
$4,000 to this purpose. This sum had been
appropriated to aid Nichols in establishing
his government. The Commissioners were
highly gratifed with this result. Nichols
Legislature passed concurrent resolutions
paying persons returned by the Board, but
not elected, their per diem and mileage.
A notable feature in the Nichols Legisa-
ture was the withdrawal of seven Democratic
members, who had been seated subject to con-
test, yielding their seats to colored Republi-
cans who claimed election on the face of the
returns.
Packard is still in the St. Louis Hotel with
his police force, ten or a dozen members of
the Legislature and his personal staff, who
remain with him to see the end, which is evil
dently near. 1t seems generally understood
that the State. House will be surrendered to
the Nichols authorities at an early day.
