ODIoUs CoNDUCT OF REVENUE OFFICERs.-A
special force of about twenty men, under COM
lnand of Capt. Hoffman, passed through town
late on Friday evening last on n raid in the
mountains. They returned on Saturday morn
ing with five prisoners. We learn from the
Prisoncrs that some of the men abused and NAL
reated them, and used very obscene language
in the presence of their families, and that q ne
gro who is attached to this force punched one of
the prisoners with his gun. Some of these rev.
enuc officials 1--WE do not include ally appear to
look upon every man in the mountains q vio-
lator of the law and as his personal enemy, and
net accordingly. Mr.. Neal, living near Central
informs us that one day last week squad Of
these men came to his house, put him undcr
arrest and searched his house from garrct
~ 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 bee, ,
perfectly Indifferent as to what the consequences
might be. MIR. Neal says they acknowledged to
him that they did not have warrant with / hem
Such action rs this is what has brought so much
odium upon the revenue officials. We cannot
blame them for endeavoring to enforce the law,
but we blame them for the manner in which
they enforce it.-Pickens Sentinel.
The PEOPLE Owe DEBT of gratitude to Gov

phatic. Under his lead victory is assured, and
the blessings of a good government secured to
us-Reowee Courier.
