Little or any damuge has been done as yet to ruilrgnd property dn this line. The Burlington, railroad as yet reports no damage.

Can lie Taia Only By Distiller. ?inii VJAxtweil-not be held, as has been lS'.t-l, the taxes due on d'stilled liquors in a United States bonded warehouse can be paid only by the distiller. Whether that bo so or not, a tender of such taxes by a sheriff or other like state ofliecr is necessarily ineffectual as against the statute above quoted, since it is beyond the power of an internal revenue collector to accept it, and thus nullify the provisions and defeat the poilicj- of a statute which aims to absolutely exempt such liquors from the operation of the process of a state court. Such tender, which, for the reason stated, the collector Is incompetent to accept, must be also ineffectual because no ofliecr of South Carolina has been given the right or power to make it?the legislation of South Carolina not authorized any such tender, nor providing any fund which can be used for that purpose. "The result is that the provisions of the South Carolinn dispensary law -of 1803 must be regarded as ineffective and inoperative as against distilled liquors held in a United States bonded warehouse under the control of the collector of internal revenue.
