CONFLICT OF JURISDICTION.
Special to the Baltimore Sun.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-For some time
past there has been a serious conflict of juris-
diction between the Federal government and
the State authorities of South Carolina rela-
tive to violations of the internal revenue laws
concerning the illicit distillatlon of whisky.
The revenue officers have, in the pursuit of
their duty, as claimed, been arrested by the
State officers on charges Of violations of the
State laws, and number of them are now
held in custody. Motions to transfer the
cases to the Federal courts have been made.
The commissioner of internal revenue has
been advised that Judge Kershaw, of South
Carolina, has in an elaborate opinion denied
these motions, and decided that the prisoners
must be held subject to the decision of the
State elurts. A very excited feeling prevails
In South Carolina in reference TO these cases,

The Partisan Use Of the Police.

There Is evidence to support the belief that
Mr. KELLY has determined to use the police
for his personal ends In support Of the Tam
many ticket The report which reaches US
Is that one Of the Police Commissioners, who
Is in close aillliation with Mr.. KELLY, has
been going about among the police captains
cndeavorlng to impress upon them that the
Board desires them 10 act rs the agents Of
Tammany Hall in the pending contest.
This is OF piece with the general system
Of political dcspotism which the Dictator OF
Tammany seems bent upon firmly establish
ing over this people. Let such despotisn
only have power to WELD the police rs a par
tisan machine, and the condition Of the free
citizens Of this metropolis will be uncomfort-
able indeed.
The rule with the police has been that 1t
should be non-partisan, and that its mem
bcrs should bc free to think and to speak on
politics and 10 vote as their principles and
their convictions of duty might require.
This timc-honored rule is the only wise and
safe one, and the present attempt to change
1t indicates that Mr.. KELLY finds that his
power is exposed 10 the danger ~ great
and final overthrow in the election Of next
Tuesday. Let every citizen, whether he be-
longs 10 the police or not, maintain his free
dom aud independence in the pending strug-
gle, and, above all, at the polls on the dcci-
elNe day

ment OF HAYES invasion policy, we need
only compare the present recommendation
Of Lieut. Gen SHERIDAN, the probable basis
Of now orders, with the former one Of Lieut.
Col. SHAFTER, the basis OF existing orders.
On March 0, 1s77-thnt is as soon as HAYES
began his present carccr-Col. SKATER
made report to Gen ORD's headquarters
that to cffcctually put n stop to the Indian
raids from Mexico, II will be necessary to
do all scouting for Indians on the Mexican
side Of the Rio Grande" That, then, was
question of scouting, not Of garrisoning;
and when, referring to this report, HAYES
issued his raiding orders, he called them
instructions authorizing 1.-THE occasional
crossing of the border" IN pursuit OF ma
RAIDERS Three weeks later, when those
orders had reached Mexico, and had been
denounced by the Mexican War Minister
as n violation OF international law and Of
the practice OF civilized nations, Mr.. FOSTER
FASTENED to Mr.. VALLARTA's office, and loft
with him n memorandum, the fifth article
Of which urged that tho Instructions to
Gen. ORD had been mlsinterpreted by the
Mexican Government; that the order au-
thorized pursuit OF marauders only "when
his troops are either in sight Of them or
upon fresh trail" II will be seen, there
fore, what n step Is now taken I'm proposing
that troops shall regularly garrison certain
points in Mexico, as If it were already our
'.wn domain.
The step is the more striking because
Gen. SHERIDAN has not been hitherto ranked
among the advanced champions OF agrees
sion, rs his testimony before the Congress
siona Committee. last winter, shows. When
Gen. ORD forwarded to him SHAFTER's
recommendation Of raiding, IL was without
any approval of the recommendation; and
when SHERIDAN in turn forwarded II to Mr..
McCRARY, he in general terms wrote upon 1t {:
81 recommend the Mexican Government be
compelled to prevent these hostile incur
sions.' Mr. McCRARY also sent it without
expression of opinion to Mr.. EvARTs; but
within three days afterward a letter was on
the way to Mr. FOSTER informing him that
1.-The opinion OF Col SKATER that the only
way 10 check these atrocities Is to follow
the delinquents into Mexico and there at
tack them, IS probably well founded" and
that HAYES might soon be found "acting
pursuant TO Col SIIAFrERs opinion" as he
very soon was.
II HAYES in that case followed the sug-
gestion Of a subordinate officer, as being the
most aggressive, he will now presumably
look approvngly on the still more hostile
measure suggested by Gen. SHERIDAN
with this difference, however. that, as HAYES
must know, the Congressional act OF war
which SHERIDAN proposes Is out of the
question and whatever is done to garrison
Mexico must be done under a presumptuous
order like that Of June l, 1877.
One question only remains 10 ask-How
long would Mexico tamely submit to such n
permanent occupation Of her soil by foreign
troops against her will ?
