Starving and Needy Witnesses.

CHARLESTON, S. c., August22 Especial. !
Arather alarming state OF affairs has been de-
veloped in the city of Greenville, in this state
where the United States district court is now
in session.
Greenville is the center of the moonshine
district in South Carolina, and over 500 wit
nesses are in attendance on the court. The
difficulty seems to be want of funds to pay
the jurors and witnesses. Judge Simonton,
the presiding judge, in letter to the comp
troller of the treasury department says: cover
five hundred witnesses are in attendance for
the government. The large majority of these
are without money and without credit
Many of them cannot procure lodging. Con-
slant appeals are made to mo for assistance,
and the foreman of the grand Jury, after de-
liveling their testimony, stated that they had
no food for twenty-four hours. Witnesses
brought here by the United States for the pur-
poses of the government, and attending for
this purpose only, are dependent upon the
charity Of the Greenville people for their
maintenance" The situation in Green
vile is said to be appalling. The jail is crowd
ed with witnesses, who have been admitted on
the order of the presiding judge, and who
would otherwise starve, and the others are
living out on the byways, begging or stealing,
