VIOLATION OF INTERNAL REVENUE Laws
On Thursday of last week, George w. Jenkins and
W. T. Hays, Of Bradley county, were brought be-
fore U. s. Commissioner Hall, charged with having
Instructed U. S. officer in collecting the tax due
on distilled spirits. These men we're arrested on the
complaint Of Capt james Ware, Assistant Revenue
Collector for Bradley county. After investigation,
the Commissioner discharged Hays, and required
jenkins TO give bond in the sum Of one Thousand
dollars for his appearance at the next term of the
u. S District Court. This, we believe, is the first
case Of the kind thai has come before the Commits
soner but unless those dealing in the article comply
with the law it will not be the last the Revenue
officers are determined that the law shall be strictly
enforced

Of this kind can fail, when undertaken by the la

vocalist. The Piano Solo, by Miss Dunnng, is spo-
ken Of in terms Of the highest praise, the manner
Of her performance ecting the applause of all low
ers Of good music, who were so fortunate NJ TO be
present. There was also something sublimely beau
tiful in the Fute Solo, by Mr.. Allen. Farmers
Mass was well executed the manner Of its eIecu-

musical talent, notwithstanding the rather severe
criticism Of the Commercial, whose Editor says he

The Zook Murder.

We will publish in next weeks paper short
message of the Governor of Pennsylvania, Oh
the murder of loyal citizens in Mississippi In
commenting on these atrocious murders the Phila,
delphia Press says
! The message of Governor Geary in reference to
Hthe Took Murder" which appears in another NOR
ton of the Press of to-day and the prompt response
Of the Legislature in offering in accordance with
his recommendation large reward for the crimi-
mails, are documents of great significance indicat-
ing that, so far Pennsylvania is concerned our
unreconstructed and erring brethren" in the South
are no longer to be suffered at their own free WILL
to murder Northern emigrants who have settled
among them in good faith, induced by the many
representations Of Southern journals that Yam
KEGS are as safe in the late rebel States as at home
Few outrages of the kind have excited such wide
spread indignation in Pennsylvania this the vic
Tins being the sons of a we-known and respecta-
bic citizen of Lancaster and should the praisewor-
thy effort Of Governor Geary to bring the murder
ers to justice be crowned with success, we cannot
doubt that it will prove Of incalculable benefit in
preventing the commission of such deeds, by teach
ing those we would commit them, there is now one
law, and one country over which it extends. There
is prevalent error carefully encouraged by Cop
perhead journals that these outrages have been few
and far between, and that the most has been made
of them for political effect That this is entirely
false we believe, since within few hours we have
seen gentleman, native of this city, who having
settled on a plantation in Mississippi during the
past year, at first robbed of most of his stock,
and barely escaped murder for the sake of the mon
ey which he was supposed to have by him. No ac-
count Of this case has ever appeared IN any North
ern journal, and our informant states that he is
firmly convinced that all Northern mon who settle
in the country in Mississippi do SO at the risk Of
their lives. Now that proper beginning has been
made we shall hope to see some check placed on
these infamous efforts to maintain quasi rebel SUI
premacy through homicide in the South.

Congress for the reconstruction Of the rebel States.

The Summer Programme.

IL is said that there is no probability of Congress reassembling in July, all assertions to the contrary notwith- standing. At least the Radical leaders do not contemplate such thing at present. They have cut out their W ork for summer and fall, which mainly is to rekindle the fires of hell in the hearts in of their followers in the North, by means of the insolent speeches of their leaders in the South, which they think will be resented by that fiery people; and this is of course to be laid before the country as further evidence of "disloyalty." Every event is to be distorted so as to be accepted as proof of malignant hatred against the Government and the people of the North by the Southerners. And this, with the troubles which must certainly ensue through the successful efforts of these demagogues to array the blacks against the whites, will have the de- sired effect. Congress will meet in December and then the country may be prepared for "eonliscation.' A considerable portion of the fund of the fund of the general committee is spent in circulating Thad Stevens speechi on confiseation among the negroes, The result of this is inevitable. On this measure of cont:scati6n we will hear oi the reorganization of the States oi kentucky and Maryland into military districts, and then--wcll. the future must reveal itself--t Ledger.

REGISTRATION.

The work of registration has already commenced in some parts of the coun- try, and soon the people of Arkansas will be called upon to say whether or not they will use to advantage the shadowy rights yet left them. We have already expressed our belief that every citizen should avail himself of this privilege. We again urge upon the people of Arkansas the importance of early action in this matter. ltis ev- ident that the intent of radicalism is to strip us of every right, so far as it can be done; to employ every means for the accomplishment of their purposes, however cxtravagant they may be, and all that can be done to counteract this influence, should be performed in the light of daty.
 There is large majority of the pco- ple of this State that can avail them selves of this right to vote, if they will. If it is the desire to bring the State Government into the hands of those who are interested in, and identified with it, every individual who can, should register and claim citizen shin

FRENCH FiLIBUsTER1NG.-1he New Orleans Picayune of the 24th states that beside an expedition fitting out in New York, French one is in prep aration. It says:
 "A few years ago the French Count Raousset- -Boulbon was brutally assas- sinated in Sonora, Mexico. The Count had purchased agricultural and mining territory in that State, and led a colony of his compatriots thither. The well known Mexican General Pesquira was then the Governor, and, tho war between the revolutionists and reaetionsts running high, the colony was broken up. and Count Boulbon and many of his companions were killed. It is now reported in France that cousin of the Count is about to undertake another expedition to Mex ico for the purpose of averaging his relative and retaining the property left by him. He is said 10 have organ ized company of 1900 men, most of them French, and to have armed them with Winchester carbines, made in England Most of the fitting out, in- deed, has been made in that country, and the expedition is said to be nearly ready to sail. This new movement for the moment gave currency to story that Count Bouibon is still alive, hay ing escaped uner an assumed name. But that is untrue. lie was shot at Guayamas, and we gave full particulars of the execution at the time. His fam lily was one of the oldest of Brittanny, and distinguished for its love of ad- venture and enterprise.
