SOUTH CAROLINA VIEW.
The Recent Revenue Troubles and the JurlsdlC-
tlOn Question.


The revenue officers were in search of
Redmond, and supposed him to be in
the house of Amos Ladd. They char
ged upon the house, with arms in their
hands. Amos Ladd, standing on the
threshold OF his home, snapped his gun
at the officers as they charged upon him.
The officers fired at him and killed him.
They had no warrant for his arrest.
They had no right to invade his house.
Had he been charged with illicit distill~
ing there would have been no justifica>
ton for killing disarmed man. There
was no "gang, there was no attack"
by moonshiners, there was no shoot.
ing by the officers "in self defence, !"
The Grand Jury of Pickens county
found true bills for murder against the
revenue officers. Judge Kershaw grant,
ed motion for a change of venue to
Greenville. At that place the motion to
transfer the proceedings to the United
States Court was heard, aud refused
Why The crime of which the prisons
ers are accused is in offence against the
State, and not against the United States.
No United States court can try for mur-
der committed in a State of the Union.
The effect of transferring such case to
the United States court is to allow that
court to decide, without trial, whether
there is foundation for the. charge. If
the court decide in the affirmative it can
not try the case, and the prisoners are
left, at last, to be tried in the State courts,
which, by that time, are not likely to be
able to reach them, lfthe court decide
in the negative the prisoners are sum-
marily discharged. A doctrine more
monstrous was never preached. Judge
Kershaw, in plain English, pointed out
the unconstitutionality of the contempla.
ted proceedings. He is bound by the
laws of the State and of the United States,
but he is not bound to give to the United
States laws the elasticity that the counN
sci for the revenue officers desire, nor
can he allow his own decision to be overN
ruled, except by the courts Charleston

A CRIME TO SHIELD THE GREAT
CRIME.

There is no circumstance in connec>
ton with the present investigation of the
alleged electoral frauds in Louisiana
which so strongly convincingly argues
the guilt of the accused parties as their
efforts to prevent witnesses from testify
ing to facts within their knowledge. Ever
since the inquiry commenced, the Ad-
ministration, from the de facto President
down to the meanest official in his em-
ploy, have been active in searching out
men privy to the devices employed by
the pirate Sherman and his fellows to
defraud the people of their franchise,
and by every means in their power have
sought to seal their lips or to procure ev.
idence from them favorable to the ac>
cused. Sherman and his allies cannot
but be aware of the fact that in tamper>
ing with witnesses they commit crime
at common law.-St' Paul Globe. 3,

sTENGER ON LOUISIANA.

Congressman Stenger of the Franklin
district, in this State, was chairman OF
the Potter subcommittee that went to
New Orleans to prosecute branch OF
the electoral inquiry in that city. He is
a straightforward, conscientious man, not
easily thrown off his balance or deceiy-
ed by others, and his views on the Lou
isiana matter are Of interest, because
they are the convictions of such man.
Returning to Washington on Saturday
last, Mr.. Stenger expressed himself as
fully satisfied with the result Of the in.
yestigation in New Orleans. 1--WE have
clearly proved" says he, "the existence
of conspiracy among the leaders of the
Republican party in Louisiana-Kellogg
Packard, Anderson and others-to carry
the State for Hayes, in the face of an un-
doubted majority for Tilden. We have
shown, by convincing testimony, the ex.
istenCe of plot in East Feliciana parish
whereby Republicans abstained from vo.
ting on the day of election, to afford
pretext to the Returning Board to throw
out the entire vote Of the parish on the
ground of intimidation. A similar plot
to prevent the vote of West Feliciana
from being counted was coucoCted by
the Republican leaders. but E. L. Weber
the candidate for State Senator, over.
turned this plot in his anxiety to obtain
Republican votes. 1t was well known
that both parishes were strongly Demo-
cratic. 1t was proved that the Republi-
can inspectors and supervisors of elec.
tion and registration informed numerous
residents of the parishes before they
made their false protests, that there was
not the slightest ground for complaint,
as the election was fair, free and peacea.
ble. We exposed the manner in which
false afidayits were made. Fifteen Re.
pubhcans who made affidavits swore that
they did not know the contents of the
papers subscribed by them, being satifed
when told that the affidavits were for
the benefit of the Republican party.
These witnesses were on the list which
Secretary Sherman desired subpeuad to
prove intimidation and violence, and it
may be that he refused to have the bal
ance OF his witnesses sworn for fear they,
also would reCant. Several witnesses
swore to having seen Sherman, Garfield,
Hale and Stoughton in active consulta'
tion with the State Republican leaders
at the Custom HOuse.n
Mr.. Stenger states the work of the sub.
committee in New Orleans is not yet
completed; and several leads have been
developed, which, if followed, will result
in the exposure of additional frauds. II

MEXICAN
Mustang Liniment,
FOR MAN AND BEAST.

Thls1lnlment very naturally originated in Ameri'
ca, where Nature provides in her laboratory such
surprising antidotes for the maladles Of her chill
dren. Its fame has been spreading for S5years,
until now 1t encrcles the habitable globe.
The Mexican Mustang Liniment is matchless
remedy for all external ailments Of man and beast
To stock owners and farmers 1t is invaluable.
A single bottle often saves q human life or re-
stores the usefulness OF an excellent horse, or
COW, or sheep.
II cures foot.rot, hoof'all, hollow horn, grub,
screwworm, shoulder,rot, mango the bites and
stngs Of poisonous reptiles and insects, and every
such drawback to stock breeding and bush life.
It cures every external trouble of horses, such
as lameness, scratches, swinny, sprains, founder
windgall rlng.bone, etc, etc.
The Mexican Mustang Linlment Is the quickest
cure in the world for accidents occurring in the
family, in the absence of o physician, such as
burns, scalds spralns, cuts etc, and for rheuma'
tism, and stiffness engendered by exposure Par
ticularly valuable to Miners.
1t is the cheapest remedy In the world, for Is
penetrates the muscle to the bone, and q single
application Is generally sufficient to cure.
Mexican Mustang Llniment is put up In three
sizes of bottles, the larger ones being proportion
Ately much the cheapest. Sold everywhere.

THE FIRST LIE SUCCESSFULLY
NAILED,

A foolish attack was made on Rush
Field, the Democratic NOMINEES for Board
OfPublic Works, by the Cincinnati Times
last week, which the Mansfield Literal,
published at Mr.. Fields own home,
answers fully as follows;
The above is lie made out of whole
cloth, and the fellow who wrote it knew
it to be a lie at the time he wrote it. Now
for the truth The writer of the scurrlls
Gus article endeavors to create the i'm.
preston that Mr.. Field is a Catholic.
We believe, and Mr.. Field believes, in
common with all good Democrats, that
every person has right to worship God
according to the dictates of his own con.
science. But neither Mr.. Field nor his
estimable lady are members of the Cath.
olic Church on the contrary, they are
regular attendants at the Grace Episco.
pal Church in this city. He did not
" discharge all the Protestant girls in the
house, supplying their places with Cath.
olics," for the reason that all the SER
wants had been discharged before he
took possession by the former proprietor,
in consequence of the fire which COM
PEELED him to close the house. When
Mr.. Field took possession he employed
such of the former servants as he wanted,
consistent with the character of the house
he intended to keep Some were Caths
olics, some were protestants, and some
had no particular religion at all, were
good and faithful servants, and have
since aided in maintaining the present
high character of the house as one of the
best hotels in the State. If the editors
of the Portsmouth Tribune or Times
have failed to find such accommodation
at the house as formerly, we are free to
say that the great majority Of the travel.
ing public are perfectly satisfied with the
character Of the house Mr.. Field has
kept He has Protestant and Catholic
servants, white and colored, in his en-
ploy, and we presume that It makes no
difference to the tired and hungry travel.

APES NOT MANS PRoeENIToRs.

The position of science with regard to
man and the anthropoid apes is, that in
no case can these latter be considered
our progenitors or descendants. The
physical and mental characteristics are
too diverse to admit Of such conclusions.
The apes have evidently come down an
other line of descent, although the time
when both the apes and man may haze
emerged from common branch of the
tree of animal life may not be 80 very
long rast But, whenever the line Of
man and that Of the anthropoid apes
coinCided, it is clear that now the ten
denCy must be to diverge more and more
The resemblanCes between the apes and
man, however, cannot be overlooked by
the thinking mind. They are so great
that if we assumed the theory OF degen-
eraCy to be true and so we're willing to
throw the whole animal kingdom back
ward on its tail instead of forward on Its
feet we might consider them to be de-
generate and "wild" men. And it is in
teresting to find that this is what they
were formerly thought to be. The early
pictures of the orang and chimpan2ee
exemplify this notion, by giving them
perfectly human features and erect posi-
ton, brutalized only by their hairy body.
They we're, in fact, assumed to be very
abandoned kind of man, and not very
elevated kind of monkey. It is thought
bv some tribes of men to this day that
the apes could talk if they would, but
they are afraid that if they do they will
be made slaves of and obliged to work.
From the naked white skin, through the
yellow and red to the black, and then to
the black with hair, does, indeed, seem
a gradual transition; and, if we concede
the erect posture, the admission OF the
ape into the human family carries with
it no little show of justice,-Prof. Grote,
Popular Science Monthly for august.
