Raids ON Illicit Stills i'm North Caro-.
THE o. Q. REVENUE oFFICERs BROUGHT BEFORE
STATE COURT.

| STATE COURT.
Collector Pinkney Rollens, of the It'll district
of North Carolina, informs the Revenue Bureau
that Special Deputy r. H. Patterson and the
soldiers, under Lieut.. Mast, destroyed the Illicit
distilleries in Haywood county, and made twelve
arrests, on the It'll ultimo. On the 10th they de-
stroyed four distilleries and made eight arrests
in Mcdowell county. They then proceeded to
South Mountain, in Burke county, where they
arrests tt eve eight distilleries were located in
close proximity to each other, and there was
reliable information of twenty or twenty-five
more being in operation In the South Mountain,
but further progress was arrested by the inter-
ference of state authorities; Lieut.. Mast and
Deputy Marshal Beaver being arrested upon
a bench warrant from Judge Clark for de-
stroying property. The collector says:-I do
not wish to reflect upon the judges integrity,
but believe that he was imposed upon by GER
tain parties who, besides being generally hostile
to anything looking to the execution of the laws
of the federal government, made this more to
give the law breakers time to remove their stills
and get out of the way. There was no unneces-
sary or wanton destruction of property; and all
law-abidiDg citizens will bear testimony that
the conduct of Lieutenant Mast and his men has
been unexcepton able throughout. This matter
should not be suffered to rest at this stage, but
should be persued to the end, and regardless of
expense, else the lawless and eyil-dispcsed per-
sons will look upon 1t as a check to federal au-
thority and take encouragement to continue
their lawless acts I intend to return the expe-
dition next week to the same locality, and to
make another effort for the enforcement of the
law, in which hope to be supported to any OK.
tent by the strong arm of the government.
Supervisor Perry in transmitting the report
to the commissioner says ono pains will be
spared to break up all illicit stills in said dis
trict which can possibly be reached. The revc-
nue. officers which accompanied the expedition
were particularly cautioned against doing any
thing which in any way could be made to ap-
pear as wrong or oppressive, and have thus
obeyed the instructions literally. No one unac-
quainted with the same can form any idea of
the bitter malicious hostility of the people in
those neighbOrhoods to revenue and other Off
GERS who assist in enforcing the revenue law,
and they are encouraged in their hostile and
malicious acts by most Of the conservative
newspapers in the state"

THESE MARKs.-An expert clerk in a New
York city bank has detected two points of diff
ference between the genuine and counterfeit
$500 notes, which were not mentioned in the
government description, and which are more
easily observed than some of those mentioned
In the genuine note the signature of Mr. shin
ner clearly overlies the seal, while in the conn
terfeit the seal has evidently been stamped on
after the signature. In the counterfeit the cen
ter star In the cluster around the neck of the
Goddess Of Liberty is defective, while in the
genuine IL Is perfect. These differences ought
to be sufficiently easy Of observation to prevent
deception in any case.
