Walhalla Court.

In company with Maj. Lewis, our
popular Clerk Of Court, wo left Pick
ems on Sunday morning, 10Th inst,
for the purpose Of attending Court, a
few days, at Walhalla. Wo went by
way OF Central and stopped at Mt.
Zion Church, one milo below Central.
where a quarterly meeting was in
progress, but, owing to the largo at
tendance and the crowded condition
OF the church, We were unable to Sc
cure seat and, with many others,
were obliged to remain outside of tho
church during tho preaching. The
pulpit was occupied in the forenoon by
Rev. O.. A. Darby, Presiding Elder,
and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon bv
DR.. Jones. Hero we met many
trieds, and learned from them that
their crop prospects at this time arc
good, Notwithstanding the damage
done scme of the farms by the late
hail storm.
From this point wo wended our
way over into Oconee County, and
spent the evening and night under the
hospitable roof of tho Hon. B. Frank
Sloan. Mr.. Sloan was an active and
useful member of the last Legislature,
and is popular citizen Of his County.
The cordial and warm hearted recep-
ton extended us by Mr.. S. and his
accomplished lady will remain a green
spot in our memory for all time to
come.
On Monday morning, in company
with Mr.. Sloan, we left for Walhalla,
distance of fifteen miles, which we
reached in due time for the opening
Of Court. This was the first opportu.
nifty we ever had of seeing Judge
Kershaw preside, and his dignified and
courteous manner at once convinced
us that the judicial ermine had fallen
upon worthy shoulders. His charge
TO the Grand Jury was clear and for
ceable, giving all the changes made in
the law by the last Legislature, and
instructing thom fully in their duties
The Pickens sentinel. [volume] (Pickens, S.C.) 1871-1903, 1878-06-27

as tho grand inqust of tho county,
the conclusion of his charge t6 Ne
Grand Jury, he was informed }6y4Eol,
Norton, acting Solicitor, that there
were only two cases for the 5consfde-
ration OF the Grand Jury, but as The
bills of indictments had not been pres
pared, thoy would not DO handed the
jury; whereupcn the Judge instructed
the Clerk of Court to prepare pay
certificates for the jurios, and they
were oil discharged. ~
The recent change in the law does
not allow tho trial OF any, except
criminal cases, at the summer ses>
sions of Tho court, and consequently
no civil business could be transacted.
This provision Of tho law, we regard
very wise, for it shortens the session
and lessons tho 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
business to Go tried. d,
The cases of tho revenue officials
for tho killing of Ladd came up before
the Judge on writ of. habeas corpus
for bail, the result of which was given
by ue last week. At l clock the
Court adjourned, and the Judge re-
turned to his homo in Camden, bv
the 9 o'clock train on the Air Line
Railroad that evening.
Walhalla has improved considerably
since the war, and is blessed with
tno schools and a college. The citi>
zens OF the town are intelligent and
Industrious, and always extend a
cordial greeting to visitors and strang
ers. During our short stay, wo met
many friends and acquaintances, "a
mongst them Senator Livingston and
Representative Werner, who have
served their County and State abIyan
faithfully in their respective houses
Of the Legislature. Mr.. Vorncr, We
learned, will likely be candidate for
reelection, and will doubtless be re-
turned to his field OF usefulness bv
tho voters of his county. We left
Walhalla on Tuesday morning, and
driving across the country by way
of old Pickons, a distance of 2s miles,
reached home at o'clock tho samo
day.

The Axor Heard From.

The Azor, the vessel in which the
coIored emigrants left Charleston for
Liberia, has been heard from. She
has touched tho African shore, but
had not, on May tho 10Th, tho time at
which MIR. Williams telegraphed the
News and Courier, reached Liberia.
Measels broke out amongst the emf
grants and, to add to their distress,
ship fever broke out and twenty.three
died. Despite the loss OF life, the
emigrants were in good spirits and
dlled with joy at the prospect of soon
reaching their destination.
From later dispatch, we see the
Azor arrived at Monrovin on the Sd
Snstant. Tho emigrants were in good
spirits, and were warmly received.

Collector BraytOn, who has recent
y returned from the mountains, saws
that there is no truth in the statement
mado by The PICKENs SENTINEL ex-
cept the bare fact that Ladd was kill
ed by the deputy mnrshals.-Colu mbia
Register.
Wo did not expect that Collector
Brayton, or any of the Revenue
scamps acting under him, would ac-
knowledge that there WINS any "truth
in the statement made by The PICK
EMS 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 it's 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 subaltcrns and pub-
fishes them to the world without q
single word of contradiction, which
clearly implies that the Register en-
dorses what is said by "Collector
Brayton" as tho truth about this
bloody affair. Ii the Register is in
sympathy with these ruffians and
murderers, it should have had the
manliness and courtesy of giving the
public the benefit of our statement be-
tore 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 wits
nesses on the part Of the State. The
commondable action Of Judge Ker-
shaw, at Walhalla, in refusing bail to
three of the parties, is, at least, n par>
tial vindication of what wo said, the
statements of the Columbia Register
and "Collector Brayton" to the con>
trary notwithstanding. Perhaps
somebody has been taking q game of
"seven up"

Mr.. EDITOR: have noticed 'ainn'aarr: 'ann Al:
ticle in the SENTINEL under date of
May 3Oth, 1878, from Hugh S. Thomp-.
son, State Superintendent of Educa-
ton. From the idea [ draw from his
views, he seems to work under the
radical order altogether. He wants
the trustees Or officers of the State. to
employ the most competent white
teachers to teach the African race,
caring nothing at all for the white
race. lie seems to bo highly gratiied
with the progress Of the negro chill
dren, especially in Charleston. From
his conversation, he seems to think
that the Commissioners and Boards oi
Examiners in general, are quite ignor-
ant, not being competent to examine
teachers as he is to prepare the ques-
tlons and send them himself to the
Commissioners. He surely thinks our
Commissioners are ''light tricks" and
surely are for being controlled by such
o big rad as Thompson.
G. W. Singleton has revoked all the
certificates of the present year, and
will hold new meetings 9th, 2sth,
and Goth, to examine teachers under
the new law; but what can learn,
he will be by himself, as teachers are
determined not to teach any longer,
board the mselves and get nothing for
it, so l do not think he need to haye
put himself to the trouble to have !
given notice through tho SENgINEIl.
and if the teachers are 30 minded 10
lose all their time in attending the
Board and gotting no pay for their
labor, it is their own look out. I'll
think if Mr.. Singleton had have given
notice for the teachers to have come
forward and received their pay for
what they have already done. he
would havo been but doing bic duty,
instead Of calling the Board together,

Court.

Court convened at this place on
Monday morning last, his Hon. Judge
KershAw presiding. His charge to
the Grand Jury was full, forceable and
Instructive, but, owing to It's great
length, we can not notice the points
in this issue. That portion of it in
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
that place next fall. In this case.
Capt. Earle, representing tho prison
ers, stated that it was the intention of
the parties to carry their case to the
United States District Court, and
mado q motion, which was granted,
that the question Of transfer be argued
at Grcenvillo next Tuesday. We do
not know tho views of Judge Kershaw
on thss question, but feel confident
that the right to transfer will be de-
MED and tho case tried in the State
Court. In this event an appeal may
DO taken TO the Supreme Court, of
tho State, and it may go from there to
the Supreme Court Of the United
States. ,.and it may be Eve or six years
before the caseS are finally tried. The
question Of Jurisdiction comes souarely
up in this case. There will evidently
be clash between the State and Fed>
oral Courts, and that our Circuit and
Supreme Judges will bo equal to the
occasion we have not tho slightest
doubt. 81

have a barrel full of testimony of the

elusive in it's nature that even the
Republican member of tho committee
said to an old friend, resident of Go,

Communism.

Rev. Robert Patterson, a distin-
guished divine of San Francisco, and
formerly Of this city, made "Com-
munism" the theme of his sermon
last evening at the Central Presby-
terian Church. -.
lie says tha! the principles of the
communists are to strike at rightful
legal authority in all its forms, and
that they would bury it in confusion
and anarchy. Where they have
their own way, they permit a man
to labor only a fixed number of hours
day. They fix bis wages and pre-
scribe what sort of house he shall
live in, what he shall eat a., d what
he shall wear. They even claim the
right OF saying, if they choose q that
he shall cease his labor altog ether,
and that he shall come ont of his
workshop and join the rioters in
their work of devastation.
The danger that they will be able
to bring about what they desire is
not great. Even if there are four
hundred thousand communists in this
country, as is claimed, it conld not
be done. They will quarrel among
themselves, and, though they should
We strong enough eventually to effect
general revelation, they will not

There is q great danger, however.
that they will effect an ilnmensa
amount OF mischief. Agreat ssnonnt
Of property may be burned and de-
stroyed, precious lives lost, and the

A decided sensation has lately been
caused in San Francisco by the arrest and
trial Of Charles Pizzols, 3 well-known
sausage maker, for cruelty TO animals in
respect TO cutting of the tail of s cat.
At MS trial il was developed that be had

small boys in the northern part OF the city
Of ten cents head for al cats brought
10 his place of business, a stipulation be-
ing made that the Tables should be Of

Scared Toms should be carefully let alone
One youth testified that he alone had

and whenever be secured specimen Piz-
sols would amputate its tail and turn 1t
loose into E room to fatten. Numerous
other small boys appeared braDdishing
bundles Of eats tails as proof Of their
enterprise IN the same direction, and Piz-
zols was convicted on this cumulative
testimony and fined. Naturally the hor-
rib.e suspicion arises that the unfortunate
cats finally entered the human organlz4-
ton through the medium Of Pizzols's ssu-
sages, for has not the ingenious Mr.. Wei
