ODIoUs CoNDUCT OF REVENUE OFFICERs.-A
special force of about twenty men, under com
mand Of Capt. Hoffman, passed through town
late on Friday evening last on raid in the
mountains. They returned on Saturday morn
ing with five prisoners. We learn from the
rporisoncrs that some of the men abused and mall
reated them, and used very obscene language
in the presence of their families, and that a ne
gro who is attached to this force punched one Of
the prisoners with his gun. Some of these rev.
cnuc officials we do not include ally appear TO
look upon every man in the mountains vio-
lator of the law and as his personal enemy, and
net accordingly. Mr. Neal, living near Central,
informs that one day last week squad Of
these men came to his house, put him under
arrest, and searched his house from garrct
tste cellar. Mr. Neal demanded their authority
for acting thus, but they refused to SHOW it
Mrs Neal was confined to her bed with an in
FAINT only two days old, and these men, wet and
muddy, with guns in their hands, entered her
bedroom and searched in and about her bed,
perfectly indifferent as to what the consequences
might be- Mr.. Neal says they acknowledged to
him that they did not have n warrant with them.
Such action as this is what has brought so much
odium upon the revenue officials. We cannot
blame them for endcavoring 10 enforce the law,
but blame them for the manner in which
they enforce it.-Pckens Sentinel.
