BRYAN, presiding. Attachments wero issued in
tho following cases, and monitions returnable in
two wcckB from this date.
The United States ps. nineteen barrels Of dis
titled spirits, and BiSty-nine mpty barrels found
at the store Of W. Fl. KIDD, In Charleston. For
forfeiture for violation Of tho Internal Revenue
LAWS Of the United States.

TILED spirits found OF tho store Of AAsTouE Co,
Tho United Statos vs. twenty four barrels OF dis
TILED Tpirts, found at tho store Of 81 BAaaETT

Tho United States us. two atls and an the. ap-
purtcnaiiecs thrreutito' belonging, found OH thG
promises OF ". z. PRornRo in Darnwell District.
| Tho District Attorney has withdrawn all Of the
cascs for violation of tho Internal Revenue laws
from the docket, declining to prosecute under the
present circumstances, and has reported TO higher
authorities the inability to secure conviction be-
foro tho juries II the test oath is ever applied
thore arc but few who could conecientioualy take
it, and 1t is moro than probable that all of their
sympathios and prcjudces should DO in favor Of
| the government, and correct verdict bo equally
hard to obtain. In all casos an intelligent Jury
gives tho prisoners tho benefit OF any doubt. The
| cases for violation OF the Internal Revenue wore
based Oh tho testimony Of detectives and States
evidence, which was, in many cases, weak and ap-
! parently given in malice. Under these circum-
stances, tho verdict has generally been in favor OF
| tho accused, but it is o hard matter to charge
these jures with antagonism 10 the United States,
aa they have been usually composed OF our bost
| citizens, and the samo verdict would probably
have been rendered in Northern Court
