SOUTHERN la WLESSNESS.

One of the most striking features of the
report of Mr. Raum, the commissioner ejf
internal revenue, is that part relating to
crime in the southern states against the
revenue law. During the last three years
and four months, three thousand one hum
dred and seventeen illicit distilleries have
been seized, six thousand three hundred
and fifty-three persons arrested for illicit
distilling, and twenty-seven officers and
employees killed and forty-eight wounded
while engaged in enforcing the internal
revenue laws. During the last sixteen
months three thousand two hundred and
eighty-one persons have been arrested, and
one thousand four hundred and ninety
five still seized, five officers have been
killed, and twenty-three wounded. OF
these crimes, ninety-one one-hundredths
have been committed in the south. One
hundred and sixty-fve United States Off
GERS have been arrested in the south by
state authorities while in the discharge of
their duty, in order to prevent them from
enforcing the laws. The cOmmiss Toner
says: 'My information is, and | am of
the opinion that very nearly, if not quite
all of these prosecutions, are without pro-
bable cause, and are instituted as means
of obstructing the enforcement of the laws
and these facts afford additional evidence
OF the difficulties in the way of collecting
the internal revenue"
These crimes are the natural outgrowth
of the political heresy ofstate rights. The
federal officials are looked upon by the
majority of the southern white men as in
truders; invaders of the southern soil
whose lives may justly pay the forfeit of
their temerity. These views are not enter
tanned alone by the ignorant and rufianly
class, but it is encouraged by men like
Hampton and Lamar, who play upon the
southern prejudice for state rights. 1t is
countenanced by men in power, and the
result is that the United States laws are
disregarded as much in the payment OF
taxes as they are in the protection of per-
sonal and property rights.

THE shot gun argument still prevails
in the south, the latest subject of attack
being William A. Nix, brother Of post
master Nix, of Blackville, S. c., who was
shot and dangerously wounded a few
days ago by ruffian named Barney JEFF
court. The motive for this act is believ-
ed to be that Nix was suspected of being
a witness against Jeffcourt, for a violation
of the revenue laws. Political prejudice
is charged by the republicans to be the
cause of the shooting. Nix is not expect
ed to live.

For twelve years | had suffered, from
time to time, terribly of Rheumatism, to
such an extent that was unable to move
about and lost the use Of my limbs. l
tried everything recommended to effect a
cure, consulted some of the most promi-
nent physicians, and expended large sums
of money. hoping to find relief, but with
out any success. CHANGING over the
columns of The Wachter, | read about
the ST. Jacobs Oil and the many cures
this remedy had effected. Having been
disappointed SO many times, [ lost all
faith in any remedy, the St. Jacobs Oil
included, until [ saw one day that it had
cured well-known citizen with whom |
am acquainted. Other parties fully en-
dorsed the value and wonderful power of
the Oil, telling me that it had cured
them of different ailments in very short
time This brought me to conclusion.
| said to myself, ''Schweizer, fifty cents
won't break you;'' SO ] went to my drug
gist Mr.. Book, bought a bottle of the
Oil, and must now confess that the re-
suit was truly wonderful. used it every
two hours, and found relief Immediately
upon the first application, and the pain
ceased entirely after few more applica-
tons. Fearing another attack, remain
ed in bed and continued to use the re-
medy every three hours. All having left
me, arose from my bed and walked
down stairs without any trouble.
Since that time | have been able to fol-
low my occupation and feel no pains or
inconvenience, however disagreeable the
changes Of the weather may be. Having
thoroughly tested the st. Jacobs Oil, /
can conseientiously recommend it to all
afflicted with Rheumatism. Fifty cents

THE actual returns of the present years
crops in the south show that the cotton
yield is larger by 100000 bales than ever
before in the days of slavery. The tobac-
CO is greater by 100000 pounds than
last year, and the production of sugar ex-
ceeds by 100000 hogsheads that of 1878,
These figures show why so many of the
people of the south arc not quite willing
to join Bob Toombs in crying death to
the union" The union has proved to be
profitable piece of political machinery,
and the returning sense of the southern
people will, in time, lead them to aban-
don the state rights nonsense, and to fall
in line with the rest Of the republic in
the onward march to permanent prosperi-
ty and happiness. 81

CONGRESS met on Monday. The presi-
dents message was presented and read,
and an adjournment was then had. 1t
remains to be seen what the democratic
programme is to be. IF the policy which
that party pursued during the extra ses-
sion is to prevail this winter, stormy
session may be expected. IF the conser-
vative and cool headed members among
the democrats can have their way, they
will profit by the result OF the recent
elections and stop making capital for the
republicans. But it Is doubtful whether
the hot heads can be subdued. By aban-
doning their schemes of the extra session
and pursuing different course, they adj
NIT that they were then in the wrong; by
going ahead in their revolutionary move
ments, they make themselves still more
odious with the people. So that which,
| ever horn of the dilemma they may take,
| they do not seem to have very fatterina
| prospects ahead.

SECRETARY Sherman has no doubt
whatever of the permanency of resump-

when resumption began. The only diff
Guilty is to keep down the accumulation

pondent of The Cincinnati Commercial,
to whom he had made these assertions,
asked him about the prospect for the con-
tnuanee OF the present prosperity of the
country, hereplied: 81 see no reason
why it should not continue In looking
over the country at our immense resour-
ces, and considering the energetic, hardy
character of our people, we can see no
reason to believe but what the United
States are on the eve of a series OF years
OF unexampled prosperity. We have
had long and severe season Of depres-

MT quite, unexampled in our history
There is law of compensation running

into consideration, it really seems to me
that we are to have long run Of solid

They build their nest and bring up their
young in the northern regions of the

bly, is not doing their duty if they allow
them to be eatched in nets.
Another gentleman ''never heard that

to school, but he attended exercises of
religious meetings, and always came
away feeling better, stronger and sitter

would vote for religious exercises and
would allow all men to hold his religious
exercises, whenever and wherever he

and thank God also that the members
