Philadelphia, was detained to Sunday. The Man.

THAT WHISKEY RAID.-R. M. Wallace, deputy
collector Third South Carolina District, has
forwarded to Washington detailed report OF an
expedition into the mountains in Greenville and
Plckens Counties, after the Illicit distilleres In
that section of the State The revenue officers
were assisted by company OF the 5th United
States cavalry, under the command Of Lieutenant
Burns. During two weeks thirty.siS still houses
were destroyed, nearly live hundred wash tabs
broken to pieces. and quantity OF spirits destroy
ed. Ten men were arrested and held to bail for
defrauding the revenue. He says that it is impos-
slble to enforce the revenue laws in this State
without the aid OF mounted and armed force OF
some character, aud no force Is so efficient as
United States soldiers lie regrets that Leuten-
ant Burns and his command were ordered to an
other point before the expedition was finished, as
doubtless large amount OF whiskey Is made and
sold in the mountain region for which the govern
| ment never gets a cent OF tax. As long as these
Illicit stills are run the people will defy the rere'
nue. officers, and make it next to impossible to
properly discharge their duties.

THE REDUCTION OF TAXES.

In the miscellaneous multiplicity of
views on general questions Of finance
which prevail in this country, there is
considerable agreement in this: That
there should be a reduction Of taxation.
The best newspapers OF the country, With
we believe, but a single exception among
those Of general circulation, and the best
periodicals have taken ground for roduc
ton. The position of the Secretary Of
the Treasury on this point has been clear
ly, unmistakably overruled by the delib-
crate Judgment Of the thoughtful men CT
ment of Intelligent Ieop-e.
There is no mlstaklng the popular de-
mana In this respect; there cal be no
mistake as to what the best minds of the
country, almost universally think: Mr..
Boutwell, must give up his notion Of con-
tinuiDg the heavy burdens OF tha pres
ent tor another year.
There can be no time for general re-
duction OF taxation better than the pres
ent time ASIDE from the general argu-
ment that it is unjust to throw the whole
expense Ui saving the nation aud the
cause OF freedom for present and future
generations upon the present generation;
aside from the argument that what Is a
heavy barden now will be but baga-
teile hereafter, when the national wealth
and population have been largely augu
mented it cannt be denied that trade
and commerce suffer, and prosperity is
not SO great as it should be, on account
OF our heavy taxes. General arguments,
ald the particular facts Of the situation
unite III demanding 4 reduction Of the
burdens Of government.
1t is to be hoped that Congress, repre-
senting all the States and all the people,
viii not permit itself in this matter to be
governed by committees, BIT will exam
inc the subject in all its bearings. and
ana cheertully accede to the demands Of
the public which in this instance are
based OK reason, sense, the commercial
necessities OF the times, and prosperity
and progress in the future.
