THE BULLETIN NOT IAN ORGAN"

LIZ bSAbb AsN @N~N
We need scarcely say to the great multi
tude of voters who read THE CAIRO BULLE-
TIN, that the paper, in the broad and CON-
prehensive sense Of the designation, is,thor-
oughly but nationally Democratic. To
labor for the success of the Democratic
party has always been labor OF love on the
part of THE BULLETINS conductors, and
never during the papers existence, has 1t
had any hope, associated with party poll
tics, that it has placed above the
hope of seeing the cardinal principles
Of the Democracy carried into
administration in both the state
and national governments. At times tax
ing step in advance OF the tinid plat
forms and slow.paced leaders of It's party,
It has been mathematical as recreant
TO principle; but, patiently bid
ing its time, it has seen the party advance
to its position, and heard those who had
been fiercest in in their denunclations, APP
Rlaud the step forward and declare that
the delayed progress had been a fruitful
source of disaster to the party.
But it is not so much Of the past as OF
the future that we desire to speak on the
present occasion. And now that there
may be fair understanding between The
BULLETIN, the party, the party leaders and
prospective candidates, we have to say that
THE BULLETIN owes the Democratic party
NOT ONE CENT If obligations exist any.
where, not feathers weight OF them rests
upon this paper With this much said we
may further say that while we shall con.
tinue to labor faithfully, perseveringly and
zealously for the success of the party and its
regular and deserving nominees, the paper
will not be, in the common acceptation
of the term, AN ORGAN. Ii expects,
as we have already said, to lend will
ing support to the regular and deserving
nominees of the party, and, through its
editorial coumns,to advocate with as much
honesty and feryor as any other paper, all
the principles avowed by Democratic state
or national conventions; but it does not
propose to subject itself to the uses of the
party or the party candidates in any other
manner, without exacting reasonable and
just compensation for its services. To be
more explicit, we are not able in q pecuni-
AIRY way, and would not feel so disposed if
we were able, to put our ad-
vertising columns and job office
subject to the commands of candidates,
leading Democrats or Democratic organiza.
tons, without exacting a proper money
consideration therefor. If candidates de.
sire announcements published, they mus,

clubs or committees ask work of the same
nature at our hands, we shall demand Of

From our regular correspondent.
New YORK, March 80, 1880.
The amusement season Of ls79-'S0 in
New York, has been very decided sue
cess thus far and promises to continue for
the spring. There are now twenty.one
places of regular amusement in the theatri-
cal and musical line open nightly, which
exceeds that advertised in the Paris papers,
and fully equals that Of London The va
riety Of entertainment is quite as great aud
the standard Of excellence in many instan-
ces equal, if not superior to that in the lat
ter cities. There are no theatres in either
Of those cities that are rs handsome or com.
Portable in their interior finish as Wallacks s.,
Booths, Steele Mackaye's new theatre, or
Days new Broadway. OF course New
York has nothing to compare with the
Grand Opera House IN PARIS, but the Acad-
envy Of Music and the Grand Opera House
are fully as handsome as II. NJ. Opera

four companies Of pirates" travelling, be-
sides the one at the Broad street, Philadel
phia, and the one here. "The Royal Mid
dy," which Mr., Dolly has now in opposition
to the PIRATES" is superbly mounted and
well sung, but is deficient in the dry hui

At Booths theatre, Mr. Abbey has brought

Bartholomew in their old characters, in
brilliant scenic effects. One of the features

DURING the recess-if this session ever
comes to an end-a joint special committee
will sit, or has authority to sit, to prepare
plans for the completion Of the Washington

two organizations and two officials claim

has been confusion, dissension, and scarcely
any progress. The authority to be given

The Holiday.

How many young hearts arc cheer
ed how many bright faces are aglow
with anticipation at the near approach
OF Christmas! It is hoped that all the
friends of THE SENTINEL will have so
many pleasures to claim their atten>
ton that it's failure to appear among
tho number of their visitors will not
be noticed. 1t, therefore, asks to be
excused, and trusts that tho vacancy
made by it's absence may be filled brlm
full Of cheeriulness.
Ye older folks, whose minds so of
ten recur, with pleasure, to the scenes
of your childhood, TO the innocent
sports and pleasures of Christmas, do
not, we enUrent you, neglect the little
onos. Two groat lights arc over
pouring their effuIgonce in upon the
soul Of man. In the case of the young,
one shines dim from the past, and the
other gleames bright from the future.
For the children you can make this
light from the future shine brighter
with each returning Christmas, until
they havo reached the noon-day of
their existence then it will react,
shine from the past and gladden. their
declining years with the light of joy.
Then, spare no pains TO make it a
season of innocent gaiety and pleasure
From the longest stocking to the
shortest sock that lies upon tho hearth,
let them all bo filed with some token
of kindness from the hand of old Santa
Claus. Thus the little folks will all
be happy, and the older folks will
catch the spell, so that we shall be sad
at the departure of the beloved old
year with all Of its pleasures. How
many Of us would say, "Curtew shall
not ring tonight"

Editorial Correspondence.

COLUMBIA, S. g., Dec. Is, 1880.
Dear Sentinel: The Legislature is
progressing very rapidly with it's
work, and will adjourn on the 23d or
Gath instant.
A bill to prevent tho cattlc or other
stock from North Carolina roaming
into tho Counties of Greonvile, Pick
ems and Spartanburg has passed both
Houses. This is simply enforcing q
law against tho North Carolinians
that they enforce against us.
A II to prevent the saIo Of ardent
spirits in this State outside of incore
poratcd cities, towns and villages has
passed the House and will pass the
Senate if it reaches this body in time.
ItSimposes tax of 500 on every bar
room, in addition to tho municipal
tax, which goes into tho county treas
ury. l believe an absolute prohibitory
law would have passed if such law
had been proposed.
The anti dueling bill and tho bill to
prevent the carrying of concealed
deadly weapons have also passed.
A bill to mako it misdemeanor to
entice or persuade a laborer to leave
the employment Of another, or TO en-
ploy laborer under contract with
another, has also passed. This is q
very important bill and will mako Ia
Dor more reliable in the future.
Tho bill to prohibit tho sale of ard~
ent spirits in the towns Of Central
and Liberty Stations or within two
miles of the corporate limits thereof,
has passed the Senate and is now in
the House for tho action Of that body.
This bill was introduced in the Senate
by myself upon the strength OF very
large and respectable petitions from
citizens of those vicinities.
The general and legislative appro.
priation bills have boon received in
che Senate and passed upon by the
Finance Committee. The total amount
appropriated for all purposes by these
bills is $782,l35. TO meet this tax
OF Al mills will have to be levied.
A bill to extend the time for COM
mencement OF work on the famous
Columbia canal by Thompson and
Nagle eleven months longer, was de-
feated in the House to day. This, in
my opinion, effectually disposcs of this
canal humbug.
All the appointments fer Pickens
County have been confirmed by tho
Senate. d. T. B.

Mr.. EDITOR: Our portion of Pickens
County seems to be very little repre-
sented in your valuable columns, and
L take the liberty of giving this secs
tion little vent.
Corn shucking is in the height of
its glory, and this is no inconsderable
portion of the glory belonging to the
Oolenoy bottoms.
Sutherland & Edens, who have been
so long trying to saw lumber with a
little spring branch, have at last sue.
ceeded, and have the ground white
with fresh sawed plank. Sunday, the
18th, their mill site was visited by
hundreds, and their greatest wonder
was, how q nine inch Larmon water
wheel, advertised in your coIums,)
could give more power than the fifteen
inch Burnham wheel which it repla.
ced. But we know how it Is--adver-
tising in The SENTINEL did it.
The news of the death of our highly
fellow citizen, Mr.. s. d.

umns in the future, remain, as ever.

HeeaOlutions OF IRespect.

The following preamble and resolutions
were passed by the Holly Spring Baptist
Church, Pickens County. South CarOlina,
November 8Oth, 1880.
Whereas 1t has pleased Him who doeth all
things well, TO remove from us by death our
friend and brother THOMAS q. LYNCH. In
the 2lst year Of life. From his earliest child
hood he has been faithful aud obedient
child. Be it therefore
Resolved, That while We reooppize In tba
dispensation Of the hand of our Heavenly
rather, and acquiesce in this affliction Of Pro
Vidence, We feel that Wo have sustained n
great loss. He was just verging into ruan>
hood and bidding fair to make a good and
useful citizen. He was respected by all who
knew him, and those that knew him best loved
him most.
Resolded, That we deeply sympathise with
the rather, mother, compaion, and friends
ana freely mingle our sorrows in the CUP of
their sad bereavement.
rather and mother, we know tits hard for
you to give up your son. Companion, We
deeply sympathise with you in the loss of
your nearest and best friend. but he has only
been taken from his frail casket here to be act
IN tne dladem IN Heaven. You may meet
your son and companion again. May the
vacant place in the family circle, the vacant
place in the church, and the aching void in
all our hearts make us strive the harder to
meet our beloved brother and friend in the
bright beyond, where parting is no moro
.Resot0ed, That in token Of our high appre-
citation OF our deceased brother and friend, a
copy of these resolutions be spread upon tn
church Book, copy be furnished the family
and companion, and a copy be sent to The
flcKENs SENTINEL for publication.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low;
Thou no more wilt join our number,
Thou no more our song shalt know.
Yet again We hope to meet thee,
When the day Of life is fed
Then in Heaven with JOY to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.

Our Courts.

A bill has been introduced into the
Legislature, changing the time for
holding court at this place to the
second Monday in January, first Mon
day in June and third Monday in
October. Unless some change is
mado in the complicated jury law, it
will take tho closest kind of work to
provide legal jury for this place.
The change makes it worse than
ever for Pickens. The time for hold
ing court ought to be the 4th Monday
in March, third Monday in July and
fourth Monday in November; and the
law concerning courts should be as
the laws Of the Medes and Persians,
which change not.

DEAR SEETINEL: The Legislature Is al,
alive 70 day on bill to tax the sale of spirit.
GUS liquors vote was taken to day and the
bill was postponed to next session by two
votes. The bill proposes. in addition to the
present license, to require 500 to be paid to
the State for such license. We had O bill on
yesterday proposing to prohibit the sale of
intoxicating liquors entirely, but it was aban>
doned for the other. We had a petion from
the ladies of Charleston and Anderson, with
over 5000 names signed, which required pa
per 30 yards long TO contain the same. It was
unfolded in the House yesterday, accompan-
led by the assertion that many Of the fair
signers had batbed the petition with their
tears while. writing their names. The scene
was very imposing and seemed to call for im~
mediate action; but some like whiskey 80 we'll
that they refuse TO place any restriction on it
whatever. But am glad to know the meas
ure is gaining ground, and think that our
people may make up their minds to stop the
murderous traffic, for l believe the law will be
enacted.
bill to prohibit the carrying Of concealed
weapons has passed its second reading and
will become q law at this session.
The homestead bill has also passed its sec,
ond reodiug.
There are several bills on the calendar to
prohibit the sale of seed cotton. don't think
we in Pickens need them.
We have also bill to abolish Referees and
establish the office Of Master and TO make
Probate Judges eligible 10 that Office, which l
suppose will pass without oposition.
think our people may make their arrange
ments to have The stock law, for we have pc
tltion after petition from the different conties
in the State praying for lhe benefit of this law
and sincerely believe that il will become o
S'a'e law in the near future; and, if VIC do
not favor it, we should make the best Of it we
can by being prepared for it when it comes.
The Senate will decide morrow, l sup
pose, whether we will adjourn sine die on the
23d or not, am very anxious to know their
decision.
We have mutured our supply and appropri-
alton bills. Our taxes will be about the same
as last year, except orr roailroad tax.
We expect 10 change tho time of holding the
Courts in our circuit again.
