Carpenter, member Of the last
Congress, now an Internal Revenue
Collector Of one tho South Carolina
Districts who was here last week
soliciting the cooper alton Of the
army in collecting the revenue in
his District, failed to secure the
FAVOR of Commissioner Douglass for
his proposition. Collcctoh. Carpen-
ter gave out statement to the news
papers that Illicit distillation was
carried Oh in his section to an alarm
ing extent, and that those engaged
in that illegal work openly sold un,
taxed whiskcy on the streets frcm
Wagons III defiance Of the revenue
officers, several Of whom had been
murdered while attempting to supo
press such sales. Upon invcStiga.
ton the Commissioner has been un.
able to discover tho lawlessncss dc.
scribed by Collector Carpenter.
Disturbances have occurred in that
vicinity, but not recently, and none
have occurred since Carpenters ap-
pointmcnt to office, whic was since
the adjournment Of Congress. The
| Commissioner informed Carpenter
that he had better return to his
field of dnt y, make an honest effort
to collect the revenue, and if he made
it apparent that he cannot discharg
his duties without the aid Of the
military its assistance might then be
invoked. The Commissio ioner does
not believe in confronting the pco-
pie with troops upon every prc,cxt,
and he informed the Collector that
such aid should not be asked for
until it is clearly established that
tue civil officers are powcrlcss to
execute the laws. Carpenters ap-
plication Cor military aid was refer
red to tie Supervisor of tho South
Carolina District. AS Carpenter
was appointed Collector after the
adjournment Of Congress, Mr.. Doug
l.ss does not believe he has had time
or opportunity to encounter tho
despcradocS whose sangunary opera
tions he reported TO the Depart.
