From Charleston,


ED'.oR TMEs.-The u. S. Court is very lei
surely employed in the trial Of Revenue infrac-
tionists. 1t is really amusing to note the char
acter of tho cases brought before this august
tribunal and the mock gravity with which they
are investigated. Poor ignorant devils, from
the covcs of the mountains and the Runs of tho
sandhills, dragged from their homes for the nl
legged violation of the Revenue Laws, in running
still with old musket barrel, from whose
capacity Was run of about n gallon q day
Careless or ignorant men drawn up for having
tobacco boxes, cigar boxes or whiskey casks with
uncancellcd stamps upon them, or for not post
ing their license in q conspicuous place. What
think you Of ftrying fellow for selling "Drandy
Peaches" at q Camp Meeting, and finding him
guilty of violation the Revenue Law, because
the brandy was not all soaked up by the peach
es. All the money which can be got out of this
farce will not pay half the expenses of keeping
up this force Of Raiders. Swarms of these pests
arc infcsting the country, prying into hooks and
corners, frightening and insulting men and wo-
men, and keeping up a constant irritation by
getting can men to turn informcrs against thcif
neighbors. Tromps ayant eouriers for the Rev:
.enuc officials. In the West and North thousands
Of gallons Of whiskey are distilled and other in
fractions of the Revenue law daily committed,
which pass unnoticcd or arc suppressed by u

| ted down rs if he were wild beast, his prcmi-
ses watched day and night, and all! manner of
petty annVances kept up. Buttio hangers.

EUROPEAN CoyDIrIoN USCuANGED.-Lon
April 15-Noon.-The state Of affairs with ref
ercnce to the Eastern question remains substan
TALLY the same There is no change in the at
titudc OF the Powers. The main point between
England and Russia is still unsettled. While
this is the case the prospect of Congress and
q peaceful arrangement Of the whole difficulty
is as far of as ever. There is q strong feeling
in both countries that war is inevitable.
At st. Petersburg the belief is stated to pre-
vail that England's willingness to continue ne
gotations is rather for the purpose of isolating
Russia than arriving at an understandings
Some influential persons believe that Eng
land will not 60 to war alone, hence her earnest
efforts to continue to satisfy Austria. Some
moderate men in official circles have begun CEN
snring tho Russian generals, diplomats and
newspapers, for pushing the Government into q
position where the issue between Russian indie
pendent action and European control is unavoid-
able, but the majority of the public continue to
declare that the Government has been too con-
ciliatory, and the press opposes any conces-
sions
Gcrmany's efforts TO bring about an under
standing continue. but the task is rendered del
icate and difficult by the existing intimate rela-
tions between Germany and Russia. Prince
Bismarck is reported to have said recently, in
reply to a suggestion that he should mediate
"we cannot offer counsel to Russia, for advice
on our part would almost look like menace"

DISGRACEPUL SCENES At A Decentralization
April 1.-THE scenes at Lord Lctrim's funeral
in Dublin yesterday were very violent and dis
graceful. The mob that gathered in front of the
church endcavorcd to capture the hearse, dcclar-
ing their intention to drag out the corpse. They
vituperated the late Earl rs an old ruihan and a
hereto. They also climbed the wall of the
church yard, hustled the mourncrs, and chccred,
yelled and Kissed during the reading OF the
service. Several mourners were roughly han
died while cndcavoring to make their way into
the church yard. All Of them had to pass out
of an unfrequented way in order to escape vio.
lence. Fifty constabes were present, but were
wholly insufficient to cope with the mob, many
of whom were drunk.

Lieut-Goyernor Simpson.

The following, which we take from the Char
lesion Ne,os and Courier, puts at rest the doubt
in the minds Of the people of the State, as to
the position of Gov. Simpson upon his candida
cy for reelection. Mr.. Simpson is not an Office
seeker, and his high sense Of propriety would
never allow him to offer his name rs o candidate
for the first position in the country.
GnEEsvILLE, April 1O.:Reports are going the
rounds of the Press that Lieut.. Governor Simp-
son is not n candidate for re election In Jus =
tice to Governor Simpson be it said that these
reports areincorrcct. Governor Simpson is here
and | have had n interview with him on the
subject. His position is this while he does
not seek the Office, if nominated and elected he
will serve with pleasure. There seems to be
but one sentiment here, and that is the whole
ticket should be renomnated and elected.

For the Times

For the 1lmeS
Mr.. EDiron.-You kindly gave place in your
issue of the 9th inst, to an enquiry from "Tax
Payer relative to the erection of some Public
Buildings. Now another Tax Payer respectful
ly asks the Town Council if it is consistent with
the pecuniary interest of the town, that all street
work, from the laying of a Drain Pipe to the
making and erecting of a Lamp Post, should be
monopolizcd by one of their Board, without Civ
ing outsiders any chance to bid for such work
No objection could be offered to the Alderman
referred to doing the work, provided an oppor-
tunity afforded others to bid for it, and then
he should get the work in consideration Of Lis
price being the lowest.
1t seems to me that itwould be more just, and
l know it would be more in accordance with the
wishes of NIL classes of the Tax Payers, if the
Town Council would give all the mechanics end
others Of the town, o chance to obtain some of
the patronage at their command, besides giving
an assurance that the taxes are economically
disburscd. ANOTHER TAX PAYER.

ABOUT RIGnr.-Professor Wallace Duncan, Of
Wofford College, recently delivered an address
in which lie said that there are some of the most
patriotic men in South Carolina that he had ever
seen, and they give unmistakable evidence of
their desire to serve their country by the fact
that If the Democratic party does not nominate
them for Office they nominate themseve in order
simply to get the chance to serve their country.
This is o fine satire, the force Of which will he
seen by all TO apply TO independent candidates.

NEwBERRY OPFERINGs-The glorious women
