run off among the rocks and bushes to new
hiding places. When driven into corner the
majority of these fellows are desperate enough
to fight for the preservation of their property
or to resist an arrest
One of the most unfortunate features OF
this chronic war between the National Gov
eminent and the Illicit distilers of the South
is the rebellous spirit which it keeps alive.
The inhabitants of the mountain farms ana
villages of the Carolinas, Georgia, Kentucky
and Tennessee were never earnest supporters
of the Confederacy, and, in spite Of their ig-
norance and isolation, ought to sympa-
thize more fully, to-day, with Northern
ideas than with those which prevail in the
South But there is no section of the country IN
which the hatred of the Federal Government
is so general or so bitter. The inhabitants
firmly believe that they are the most OPP
pressed people in the world. In their lg-
norance of the Constitution of the United
States they are utterly unable to understand
why it is that the more prosperous cotton
planter, the prince Of agriculturists, and the
original plotter of secession, should be al
lowed to sell his crop. worth many thousands
of dollars, without paying cent of tax, while
they, with their small farms, are practically
forbidden to make a few gallons of corn
whiskey or apple brandy, that being the only
means they have of obtaining little money
with which to purchase one or two simple
luxuries which they cannot themselves pro-
duce. The more they think of it, and the harder
the Revenue laws bear upon them, the more
they are convinced that the Government has
some spite against them, and takes this means
to Cypress them.
In order to dispel this idea, the Administra-
lions both of General Grant and President
HAYES have offered complete amnesty to those
illicit distillers in certain States who would
come into court, plead guilty and promise
thereafter to obey the laws. Under General
Grants last Offer made only two or three
months before the close of his term, more than
600 men from the mountains of Georgia cur
rendered themselves at a single term OF the
court in Atlanta. For a few months
the Revenue officers had rest, but
when a new crop of corn was har-
vested the little stills were again brought
out, the "corn juice began to trickle
from the worm, and the war opened again.
President Hayes will have the same expert
ence with the South Carolina mOonshiners."
The Government has no more perplexing or
disagreeable question to deal with than this,
and there seems to be no immediate prospect
of a satisfactory solution of it. All that the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue can do Is to
appoint discreet men for service IN the
Southern States and to enforce the law as
rigdly and impartially as possible.

TILE % MOONSHINERS.n

The "mOOnshiners" in Georgia have been
shooting United States Revenue officers again,
this time killing one and dangerously wound
ing another in Baldwin County. The bust
ness is beginning to become mOnotonous, and
the worst feature of it Is that there is very
little prospect of a change. Illicit distilling
will go on in the mountain districts of the
South as long as the Internal Revenue laws
remain on the statute-bOok, and attempts to
break it up will always be more or less forci-
bly, resisted. The legislation of the last ses-
sion of Congress respecting the use of the
Army for the enforcement of the laws was
intended to cripple the Government in its
efforts to stop the production of crooked
whiskey.
The condition of society in those parts
of the South where Illicit distilling is
most prevalent is unique. The declara-
ton of the old Georgia mOuntaineer that
"he would like to know what his gran'ther
eft in the Revolution for if his children
"were not allowed to make a little corn
"whlskey," expresses exactly the popular
sentiment in whole communities. The "moOn-
"shiners" are most numerous in those remote
mountain regions which are not reached by
railroads or navlgable rivers. Owing to its
elevation and the consequent length of the
Winters, the land will produce neither cotton
nor tobacco, and the staple crops are hay and
corn The hay is fed to cattle, a few of
which are driven long distances and sold in
the larger towns, and the corn, after enough
has been Land by for family consumption and
for seed, is converted into wbiskey. No other
disposition can be made of 1t. To take
corn would fetch. The stills in which
the whiskey is made are usually very
small and are set up in unfrequented
spots on the mountain streams, where it is
very difficult for the revenue officers to find
them, and when they are discovered the
owners often take them in their hands and

OUR FINANCIAL POLICY And ITS RESULTS

OUR FINANCIAL POLICY And ITS Res ULTS.
The United States owed, August 1, 1865,
shortly after the close of the war, nearly
eighty dollars for every lnhabitant, and it
now owes little more than half as much.
More precisely, the debt in 1865 was $7S %
per capita, and it was only S41 81 per capita
July 1, 1878. Mr. Gladstone was right when
he said, in his eloquent tribute to this country,
that no other nation had ever dealt so wisely
and successfully with such a vast burden.
But the figures already given do not show
the full result of wise management and
unhinchng fidelity to public obligations,
In 1865, the yearly interest on the pub
lie debt was 81 % per capita, and it IS now
only 81 81 per capita. More than one-half
of the entire burden Of debt, in proportion to
population has thus been removed. In these
computations the estimate of population taken
is that of Professor Z. b. Elliott, the we'll
known StatistiCian, whose investigation of the
law of increase has been most thorough, as
the statistics furnished by him for the vol
umes of the census of 1870 attest. He esti-
mates that the population on the LIST OF July,
| 1878, was about AZ, 9S3, 900. With steadily
| increasing population, decreasing debt and
| decreasing rate of interest upon the debt re-
manning, this country is in better financial
! position than almost any other great nation.
And yet demagogues of this country are
never weary of bemoaning its desperate strait
and vihfying those who have secured for the
people such q release from burdens.
The Republican party has been IN charge of
the finances ever since the war. That party
is blamed for every evil, every misfortune,
every tax and every suffering, although the
enormous expenditure during the war, the
great debt remaining when the war ended,
the heavy taxation thus rendered necessary,
and whatever disadvantages have resulted to
industry from these burdens, were all caused
/ solely by Democratic rebellion. But if the
Republican party is to be blamed for errors
which il really has made, it must in justice
have full credit also for whatever it
has wisely done. AT present, its financial
policy is the main point of attack. No fair
man will suffer himself TO be prejudced by
such assaults as are always made by hungry
politicians out of power, until he has ascer-
tanned by candid examination what the policy
assailed has really been, and what it has ac-
complished. There can be no dispute as to
the figures. At the last session of Congress q

A conjunction of the two Third Parties is
predicted. Senator David Davis is to be
asked to say word for greenbacks and to
take the Massachusetts stump in the interests
of the wOrkngmen. The probability is, how
ever, that the Senator will hold himself
well together and not stray away from bis
own political orbit. The National comet can
spread its greenback tail and yet swing clear
even of so considerable an asterOid as the
Senator.
A member of the Republican State Commit
tee fully sustains the conclusions of our
Cleveland correspondent in relation 70 the
Ohio canvass. He assures us that the Republic
cans of that State feel that they are
making the fight for the party of honesty
and National honor throughout the country,
and are putting forth an effort commensurate
with the interests involved. It was the same
conviction that made the canvass of 1875 So
good fight, and so inspiring a victory.
The wild schemes put forward by Louis
Blanc spring from the confidence which the
French Republicans feel in the stability
of the Government. SO long as the
Republic was menaced by De Brog-
ue'S niSn-nanO acts SUCH us EIebAuenl
White, of Cornell, refers to in the in
terview reported in another column,
Blanc and other Radicals acted cordially
with Gambetta in resisting the common
enemy. Now that danger has disappeared,
each feels at liberty to advocate his favOrite
specific for restoring France to her former
greatness. At present this proposed system
of national Yiyiseetion is unwise. The Re-
public needs reDOse, not contention, leading
TO anarchy.
The Gentleman in Black is popular
preacher who never takes q vacation. With
bodies in barrels, pistol practice in gam
bling saloons, several murders a night,
and all manner Of mysterious disappearances,
his face as IL has peered above his pulpit has
had broad leer and his cloven foot has been
tapping the floor and keeping time with the
progress Of crime. Doubtless it is with
the idea of meeting Satan on his own
ground and competing directly with him

Body-snatching is topic to which we recur with
great reluctance, disagreeabe as it is in ITSELF and
calculated it is to excite morbid public apprehen-
sions. But the developments at Cleveland leave us
no choice We have already spoken Of the theft of
the body of Mr. Edwin French, and its discovery at
the Homeopathic Medical College in that city.
More remains to be told. During the search for the
remains of Mr. French the bodies of two old ladies
were discovered One of them proved to be that OF
Mrs. Angelina Highly late of Garrettsville, and the
other that of Mrs. Pease which was buried in the
Ravenna Cemetery on the Sd instant Both bodies
have been perfectly identified, and their respective
graves have been found empty The authorities OF
the Cleveland school have heavy account to set
tie both with the public and the law. One of the
resurrectionists will turn States evidence, and We
shall know the whole story. perhaps, about other
medical schools as we'll as that at Cleveland. The
faculty of tho latter have been rearrested,
as the result of these new discoveries.
We wish that it were possible to reconcile
all the crcumsta Ices with the innocence Of the
Professors, or to construct some theory by which
these educated men could be- absolved from COM
plicity with the low and ignorant wretches who
supplied this horrible booty. We must say that no
such theory at present suggests itself. Even to
know only that supply of subjects for their dis
sectng-tabe was kept up, and to make no inquiry
as to its sources was in itself culpable; cannot
help thinking that this faculty must have known
much more. IL is hardly worth while to invoke
certain and speedy justice upon the heads of all
concerned in these revolving crimes In the present
temper of the public mind at Cleveland, there will
be no negligent procrastinatOn, and justice very
slightly tempered with mercy may be anticipated.
If punishment can ever be made exemplary, 1t
surely should be in cases like these.
The deep affection which has fallen upon the peo-
pie of the Mississippi Valley continues to attract the
sympathies of all who speak our language. The
White Star steamer Germanlc, which arrived In
New-Yorl1 yesterday morning, was the scene of an
entertainment last week in aid of the sufferers by
the yellow fever. 1t has long been the custom on
the ocean steamers to devote evening during
the voyage TO a concert for the benefit OF
the Home for Sailors Orphans in Liver
pool but on the last trip of the GeTmaDic it
was resolved by Captain Kennedy to divert the
concert from its usual purpose to the relief of the
more pressing need in the Southwest. The pas
sengers entered heartily into the plan, and the re-
suit was concert which netted handsome sum,
which was further increased by the generosity OF
prominent New-Yor0 banker, who gave the amount
of the pool which he had won ION the pilots num-
berD The whole proceeding was timely and praise
worthy, and deserves the appreciation which is
shown by imitation.
