REvENuB OFTENcEs.-saturday was a busy
day with the United States commissioner.
Five prisoners were brought before him on
various charges, and disposed of as follows
Joseph d. Gooch and Henry D. Malloy, OF
Cheraw, charged with having tobacco In their
possession not properly stamped. were bound
over 70. trial at the present term OF the
United States Court. In both these cases the
offence was a trlaing one, and seemed prinei-
pally the result of a want Of prudence on the
part of the defendants In not examining pack
ages of tobacco sold to them by others.
Henry Clark and Julius Brown, of Marion
Courthouse, charged with selling manufac-
tured tobacco without the proper revenue
stamps, were also bound over to appear.
A. E. Philippy, of Charleston, charged with
buying tobacco boxes upon which the revenue
stamps had not been obliterated, was e. am.
ined and discharged.

THE RIFLE CLUB Ia
A Fine Display and a Pleasant Days
Sport.

The parade of the Sumter, Palmetto an6
Washington Rifle Clubs on Saturday was
complete success. and the subsequent maroon
and rifle practice at Mount Pleasant proved {
most enjoyable affair. The weather was al
beautiful as could be wished, and the mer
we're in The best of spirits and made a fine ap
pearance. The procession formed at Archer's
Hall at eight A. NJ, headed by The EutaW
Band. Next came the Palmetto Guard Rifle
Club as the escort party, carrying the banner
of the old Palmetto Guard; then came the
Washington Light Infantry, with the EutaW
| flag of Revolutionary fame, and the Sumter
Rifle Club brought up the rear. The men
| marched with the precision of veterans, rs
| indeed many of them are, and attracted much
favorable notice by their fine appearance and
soldier like bearing. After marching through
King, Hasel, Meeting and Broad streets to
East Bay, the clubs embarked on the ferry
boat, and on arriving at Mount Pleasant the
ground was measured of, and the targets
were riddled by the crack shots. Those who
could not hit the target aimed at the frma-
ment, and enjoyed the sensation of loading
and firing as much as their more successful
compeera. The prizes won by the Washing
ton Light Infantry Rife Club were First, q
set of gold sleeve buttons, F. W. Miller; 8e-
copd, q silver napkin ring, N. Il. Porter; third,
a silver.headed walking cane, Thomas l..
Webb, Jr.
The Sumter Rife Club awarded . silver
goblet to Mr.. P. d. Lynch, and to Mr.. W. q.
Simmons. Jr., another goblet, the sam that
was presented to the club by the Palmetto
Guard on their last parade. The third prIzeSs
a pair Of silver napkin rings, the fourth, a pair
Of sleeve buttons, the dflh, a gold pencil case,
were won, respectively, by Messrs. I. G.
Prloleau, E. h. Nazyck and G. q. Drayton.
The Palmetto Guard were ably represented
by their crack shots, who have proved their
prowess on other fields. ]. W. Nichols Won
as the first prize o silver ladle, President O. r.
Holmes a s'combination Set" Of silver, and Mr..
G. ]. Mathewes q rifle. The presentations were
made In each Instance by the orators OF the
clubs, and responded to by the recipients.
4 silver goblet that was assigned as the
prize for the best shot of the three clubs was
won ar Mr.. J. NJ. Edwards, rlaemaster Of the
Palmetto Guaru. The presentation was made
by Captain James Armstrong, Jr., of the Irish
Rifle Club, In his happlest style.
The ralions we're furnished by Commissary-
General Tully, and gave Infinite satisfaction.
The whole affair was a complete success, and
the 18th of April will hereafter have a more
pleasant memory attached to the date than
that furnished in the late disagreement.
The clubs returned to the city at a late hour,
but the music and martial array drew crowds
to the sidewalk, who kept the line OF march
until the disbanduent. the boys In gray fully
sustained the reputation of their cluba, and
were q credit to the community.
