There was no regularly organized opposition in
three-fourths of the counties and the Demo-
Gratis contesting for county offices with each
other brought out all the voters and the Demo-
cratic state ticket received the benefit of this
great local struggle and will have majority
of over 10000. The Greenback independent
party was thoroughly organizedin buta portion
Of the state and that was the counties compris-
ing the district now represented by Congress
man Lowe (Greenbacker) Madison, Limestone,
and Moruan, which gave him majorities wo
years ago, give handsome Democratic mafor-
ties this year, and the Greenback state and
unty tickets will probably be defeated in
every county of the district. The Democrats
will ell ect all the judges and chancellors and
nearly all legislators and county officers.

Annual Report of Commissioner
Raum.
TWENTY FIVE REVENUE OFFICES
KILLED IN THE SOUTH.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Internal Revenue
Commissioner Raum reports that during the
past fiscal year $1239S1, 916. 10 internal revenue
taxes have beenicollected and paid into the
Treasury. The report states that during the
past four years a we'll sustained effort has been
made to suppress Illicit manufacture and sale
of whiskey and tobacco in number of dis
tricts in Southern states where for many years
these practices have been rife. During that
period 1874 illicit stills were seized, 7708 per-
sons arrested for illicit distlling and % officers
and employees killed and 30 wounded while
enforcing the law. Frauds upon the revenue
have beeu greatly reduced and violent resist
ance to the law has practically ceased in all
these districts except the Second district of
Georgia Violations of law and the spirit of
resistance has not been voluntarily abandoned,
but has been suppressed and subdued by the
earnest and determined efforts of the govern
ment sustained by the courts. Continued
efforts in this direction will in short time
establish the supremacy of law in all these
districts.
