Work of MOOnShiners.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. September 2.-For
months past the internal revenue au-
thorities have been quietly investigating re-
ports regarding the manufacture of crooked
whisky in various counties in this State.
There are many Illicit distilleries in Macon,
Sumner, IrOusdale, OvertOn, Grundy, Put
pam and FentresS Counties, where the buS-
ness has been conducted for years, nOtwith-
standing the efforts of the authorities to
put stop to it by arreSting the dstillers.
Reports having come from Fentress County
that the law was being broken and various
threats uttered against the authorities.
Warrants for the arrest of these men were
issued, and the regular deputy of the
United States Marshal was instructed TO
summon force sufficient to serve them.
The deputy summoned S. w. Pile 10 aid
him. United States Marshal FiIlman yes
terday received intelligence from James
town that two men whose names were I'M
known had shot and fatally wounded
Pile The assassinS, who were cog
infant of the intentions Of the
revenue force, hid themselves
behind some bushes, and as Pile passed by
two reports rang out, and the Special Dep
uty fell, the blood gushing from two CHASTITY
wounds. The murderers escaped, and Pile
was taken to neighbOring house for treat
ment The assassination of Pile created
much excitement, and following as il has
the recent murder of Deputy Marshal Miller
BY mOOnshiners in Sumner County, has i'm
pressed the authorities with the necessity
of action by the department at
Washington.

The newspapers Of this State are unjust
In their treatment Of Senator John y. Nc
Creory, OF Raleigh county. That they are
unintentionaIly so, cannot be doubted but
they are none the less so. From an lntl-
mate personal acquaintance with him, and
from an observation Of ms course in the
Senate, we take pleasure in certifying to
his ability, to his integrity and to bis hb-
erality toward all progressive institutions,
the press included. IL is true he is the al
thor Of Senate bill No. 9, and voted for it
after il was amended by providing for the
price Of three-fourths Of cent per word,
for tie publication Of the financial exhibit
of q county; but it is not right to judge any
man BY a single act Senator MeCreerY
did what be tho1ght was right in this mat
ter, and no one should be aSSailed for obey
ing the dictates OF bis conscience.
Only demagogues, who desire to
rise politically or otherwise, by trampGng
under foot the rights Of the press, should be
violently assailed, as has the Senator from
Raleigh. He is not such 3 man, and was
entirely innocent of any desire to assail the
newspapers OF the State, m his proposed
measure. This is evidenced BY liberal pro-
visions for publications in other bills pro
posed By him.
We claim 10 be in a position to under
stand this matter in al IFS bearings, and
We viii take il As q special favor If our
brethren of the press, who are slwHys
rsady 10 do Justice as they understand it

SUPERINTENDENT BUTCHERS REPORT

The Biennial report Of Prof B. l.
BuTcHER, State Superintendent Of Free
Schools Is before us. Il is an exhaustive
and thoroughly comprehensive document
A chapter Is devoted to the discussion OF
teachers certificates. Prof BrTcHER rec
ommeuds that no teacher be granted q
West Virginia certificate more than three
times, nor a number three more than twice,
and all number two and three certificates
should be limited to one year each. The
professor further says on this subject:
The increase in the length OF time and
extent of territory over which the eertlh-
cate Is good is an incentive to seek these
GRADES, but the rate Of pay should also de-
pend to some extent upon the grade and the
lime Of the certificate.
For example: II the Board Of Educs-
ton fix the paw for one year No. grade
certificates at 80 per month, teacher
holding a two wears certificate should have
81 per month, one holding three years
certificate SO per month, one holding a
four years certificate $40 per month, ana
one holding Eve years certificate SO, and
one holding q ten years certificate $50 per
month.
Another important recommendation Is
that Of increasing the length of the school
term in this Stale beyond four months. A
course Of study for common schools IS adVo-
Gated. A change in the law prescribing
the manner in which county SuPerinten'
dents are paid is Suggested. NOE they are
raid according to the number OF schools IN
the county. The change would make 1t
according TO the number OF teachers en-
pIoyed. The establishment Of a reform
school is urged. The major portion of the
report is taken up with detailed account
of the school work in each county OF the
State. The report shows eOnclusively that
under the able and intelligent direction OF
Prof BrTCHEE the schools Of this State are
in a state Of prosperity never before known.

Interesting Bond Case.

Last term the case of John V. Hogan of
st. Louis VS.. Norway Savings Bank was
tried in the Circuit Court before Judge Webb
This case was an action to recover damages
for not delivering two $1,000 Macon county
per cent bonds and coupons. The Norway
Savings bank held these bonds with default
ed coupons running back to 1872. FL. N.
Bearce, treasurer of the bank wrote a letter
to Mr.. Hogan at st. Louis offering him the
two bonds for $1.450. The letter was delay
ed day in the Norway post office. Not
hearing from Mr.. Hogan at the expected time
Mr.. Bearce sold the bonds to another person.
Mr.. Hogan telegraphed his acceptance of the
offer made him and directed the bonds to be
sent to st. Louis. Mr.. Bearce telegraphed in
reply that he was sorry, but the bonds were
already sold. 1t appears that an act of Con-
gress had greatly appreciated the value of
the bonds. Mr.. Hogan sent the money for
the bonds and made a tender of it. Yester-
day Judge Webb announced his decision
which awards $621.57 damages. J. & E. NJ.
Rand appeared for Mr.. Hogan and Hon. W.
l.. Putnam for the bank.

PORTLAND OFFICES.
The Democrats in Council over the
collectorship and Surveyorship.

Chairman "Sime" Brown was at the Fall
mouth Hotel yesterday, ready to meet the
faithful who had commissions for him to ex-
ecute in Washington and ready to do their
bidding c. o. d. He was also here with
purpose to see what the sentiments of Cum
berland and York county men were in refer
ence to the Collectorship and Surveyorship
of this port. 1t was understood that Mr..
Brown represented Judge Cleaves, while Ma
Jor Hastings of Fryeburg, who had arrived,
represented Gen. Anderson, for the more I'M
portant Office of the two. 1t is reported that
York county, as far as numbers went, was
favorable to Judge Cleaves, although some
Of the more prominent were firm for Gen.
Anderson.
1t may be asked where were Mr.. Brad
bury's friends all this time. Mr.. Bradbury's
friends are just as strong as ever, we under
stand, only it had been reported from the
best authority that President Cleveland had
stated he should not appoint that gentleman
collector on account of his advanced years,
but would gladly give him the surveyorship.
While his many friends, representing the
bulk of the best Democratic sentiment in
the State, are not prepared to concede this,
yet, if the President has so decided, they are
then called upon to name second choice. In
order to make sure that President Cleveland
had so expressed himself it is said that Hon.
]. W. Bradbury of Augusta, went to Wash
ington to assure the President that it seemed
the wish of the Democrats that Mr.. Brad
bury should have the office, and by appointing
him there would be politically no danger to
the party while the choice of one of the 9TH
er candidates might cause some feeling and
eventually disorganize the party.
1t is reported that of those present yester-
name out a majority for Cleaves for Collect
or, Oxford a majority for Anderson, Somer-
set a majority for Cleaves.
There were many urgent claims for minor
offices and for consulships. 1t is reported
that Mr.. James M. Churchill of Cardenas
may be appointed consul to that port, and
Capt. Richard Harding of Yarmouth consul
to Nassau.
Among the prominent Democrats present
were Hon. G. I'll. Chase, Hon. Edmund Will
son, Hon. Benjamin Bunker, VIM. Fl. San
born, Enoch Cousins, ex-Warden Tolman,
Mr.. Gould, Edward Cushing, and most all the
Portland leaders. Chairman Brown, and
several others left for Washington at 6 p. m.
1t is reported that the motive for holding
the caucus yesterday was that it was de.
sirable to decide on candidates before Oct.
the beginningHof the fiscal quarter at the
custom house,
