The Press and Banner, " i In ABDEVILLK, S. C. !?? ti By IIUGII WILSON & \Y. V. BF.NET. E >-Wednesday, Nov. 27, 1878. The Greenville News?Rnum and the j hi "Revenues." tn |*s' ' I u T.nst Sunday's issue of the Grcrvvillc |' Daily Xnrs roads Abbeville County n j solemn hoirilv on obedience to law. The!' lecture especially refers to what is styled j L( "the recent Revenue trouble in Abbe- j ville County," and speaks of "the action , j' of the posse of men in surrounding the j house and demanding the withdrawal of; !" the Revenue officers." Supposing tliisi"1 to be a fact, the News proceeds gravely to assure us that "law is law," and it!.1 sagely admonishes us of Abbeville submit and not be bad boys any more. I ^ It Is a verv nice little piece of preach- j k ment, and does credit to the writer as a ! f^ good specimen of serious Sunday-morn-! ^ jng lucubration. The bad boys of Abbeville will meekly lay the lesson to heart, and try to carry out its precepts, Nothing could.be more boco-ning or ^ more in accordance with the litnoss ol 11 things, than that the law-abiding County 11 of Greenville should thus give counsel S!1 and reproof to the lawless County of 11 Abbeville. If there is one thing in whirh 111 our sister County takes groat pride in, it is in her well-known submissive obe- t dience to law, and her freedom from "Revenue troubles." The fact that a few hundred illicit stills may be found dis??4illing mountain dew in Greenville j ft, County, and that one or two hundred of a, her citizens stand convicted of the j. - heinous offence or uiiciuiisiuuuk? ?.j,, that is too small a matter to be taken [j, into consideration. It may be true that u, every mountain plen of that peaceful sa Mountain County is the abode of smug- p) glcrs whose ''worm" dicth not and ej whose fire is not quenched; but who ever [j, heard of a Revenue trouble in Green- m ville? There the law is uniformly re- jn Bpected, the smuggler never resists, the tj, Revenue officer never carries a pistol, for j cc he needs it not. It is, therefore, with < p( beautiful propriety that our Greenville L oo-temporary chides the lawlessness that IG1 & reigns in Abbeville County. ! ni And then comes Commissioner Raum. ja, Away far off in Washington, where a ;jy man must live if he wishes to see South j Carolina in its true light, Raum received i |K "a telegram from Collector Bravton, ^ dated Columbia, November 21, that Cap- a(] tain Hoffman telegraphs that his detach- tj, ment of the revenue force was surrounded jJC i'S* last night in a house where they were w, stopping in Abbeville County, near the J j0 ^ Georgia line, by a band of armed men of o;i at least forty, and ordered to leave the j? county. Their lives were threatened and |,<c Beveral shots firod." And after the con- 00 ' 'sultation of these commissioners, collect- to ors and captains, the order pops forth to "reinforce Hoffman sufficiently to overcome all resistance, and make all proper seizures and arrests." The instructions ; issued by Raum conclude thus: "I wish Sti it distinctly understood that I will oppose1 cri J~ yt-ato. ! fin any fartner amnesty m ? Offenders must expect to be prosecuted If to the fall extent of the law." And thus iv< the unexamined reports of bewildered to and frightened revenue officers about what in at most and worst was only a dangerous T! and foolish practical joke played on la> them, have made Abbeville County np- nn pear to be theabode of lawless smugglers, w< and have been sufficient, says the Green- an ville Ncics, "for our enemies to raise th; another howl about lawless South Caro- ju flina." Raum has no doubt of the trnth tic of the telegram, and ho forthwith in- wi forms us miserable offenders there is no Pi K;'. hope of amnesty for ns. or Of all the people to whom the news- L< papers conveyed the above startling in- sli telligonce, none wore more surprised ea than the people of Abbeville County, ed They at first thought it was a hoax played se by tho Oolximbia Register, they could not uc believe it, they knew of no illicit distil- ot ling within their county. After a day or of two the whole truth came out, and what sa does itamonntto? In another column the p:i readers of the Press and Manner will see how infinitesimally small was tho fonndati.on on which the torrible superstructtire was reared. They will find that the ?? following few facts are all:? th 1. A posse of revenue officers came to Oi the Lowndcsvilio neighborhood still- oi wi ^ hunting. 2. They found a still, but not an illicit ni P'- one. " '? 3. A few reckless youths came near the house where the "revenues" were spending the night; remaining three f'r hundred yards from the house, they sent p;i ol?e of thfir number to warn the "reve- to< nues" that a large force of armed and " ?, dangerous men wore not far off, and if I \ * tbey valued their lives they must leave W( vj the county within three hours. wl ^,4. 4. The revenue officers hurried off to arJ "1 Abbeville Court Ilonse. i'_ V' Our readers will also find the following lot to.be true:? Ai _ 1. The house was not "surrounded." Ii:* WW* Wl 2. There was no "band of armed men jn o'-* . of at least forty." tin 3. The practical jokers did not even l'? yjjs come to the house. + Behold what a great fire a small still dii t kindleth! Had the revenue officers only ^it been less easily made the victim ofai*" practical joke, they would have found j Tr ^ V fhemsclvos in no danger of being made I of , the victims of a bloody tragedy. Had ! - thev iust eone down the road where the' V> "forty armed men" were, they would > -have seen nobody. They took the alarmiug statements of the one man to be t rue, . and they stood not on the srder of their th ~t, going, but fled ingloriously to the Court j gr ? House. . ' ^ In spite of the ridiculousness ofthe!ex . -whole atfair,?and a most absurd nnd jjj 1 ludicrous fiasco it certainly is?we can- nr not help being serious when we think of , * - how most undesirable and undeserved * odium is thrown on Abbeville county bv tii . the telegrams of Hoffman, Brayton and cc Kaum, not to speak of the "unco giiid" ^ <- ,^md rigidly righteous sermonizing of the ^ Greenville News. At its best, the Iloff- hman telegram was altogether an ex parte ni statement. It was also a most exaggera ted, magnified, and absurd account given \ by a man who was needlessly intimida-1 w ? . tod. Yet it goes the rounds of tho press ^ and grows as it goes?vires acquirit eundo jj j "-?until Hoffman himself would have cs Y difficulty in recognizing it. Those easily is ^ scared revenue officers fled on a false 01 alarm, just as in the revolutionary war the forces about to land from a British - frigate fled at the sound of the long roll j* V performed on fife and dram by two .yonng girls. Their unsupported state- l *, menta, the offspring of darkness and * their frightened imaginations, stand in oc - - - r?l y ? black and white a shameful slander on 5^ Abbeville county, and a scandal to oar ^ peaceful State. Shame on the govern- th ^ noent at Washington that employs such tools and uses their 111-begotton reports ^ as a means to vilify the South. bl m tli %. - v! - Aixajtta Ga., Nov, 19.?The Senatorial w election took place to-day.

The campaign in Sumter lias been a cated one, and as a consequence there some bad blood in the ranks of the deatad party. The Baptist State Conveucn was in.session last week and Kev. K. . White who had been preaching at ingstreo, Mount Hope and Forreston, ul wlio was but recently married, hile coming from Manning to Sumter i a buggy with his wife, was shot in tin* sad and killed. It is supposed that the mrderer mistook Mr. White for a gene-man of Clarendon, who took an active irt in the interests of tlie Democracy in le late campaign. Diehard Coleinan,; a >lored man, living live miles below the !cnc of the murder has been arrested id lodged in jail, circumstantial evince being strong against him. The fu- j ?ral services ol' 31r. White took place i the liapti*t Chiireh. The IJaptist State invention then in session at Sumter atnded in a hodv. Impressive and touchg remarks were delivered l>v Itcv. A. I.:mi:ir mul Dr. J. 0.

Mr. White was born in Ireland, id was a delegate to the Baptist Conven-: >n.

While there have been some comaints as to Colonel Dodamead's high larges for freight, we are of tho opinion lat few persons know anything of the agnitnde of the job, or of the perplcxg diflieulties which on every hand beset lose who have control of a bankrupt irnni-'ifinn like this.

If this as done, freights could be reduced to a vver ligure than at present, a result we nnot hope for as long as the Company's terest account is as large as it i-> now. >r many years it has taken a large per nt. of its gross earnings to pay interest the bondholders. Church Fropeity. From a recent decision of Justice rong of Kentucky, it is held that propty dedicated to a particular denomina>11 of Christians belongs to it forever, this decision could be made retro-actj it would be of the greatest importance the Associate Reformed Presbyterians settling their property in Louisville, le Associate Ilc/ormed Presbyterian ol it week speaks of this matter in a itch better spirit than formerly, and ; hope that by tho continued observce of moderation in spccch and action ut the matter may yet be amicably adsited. Certain it is that a large propor>n of the money to build that church is paid by the Associate Reformed resbyterians, ana wc presume uiui uiuamounts were paid by citizens ol iuisville. Both sides have rights which iould be respected by the other. Let ch faction of these Christians acknowlge the claims of the other, and go at a ttlement as other people do, in a busi;ss-likc way, and not by calling each her bad names, and verifying the truth the adage, "If you would learn to y mean things, read the religious newsipers." Ninety-Six Guardian. We thank the Ninety-Six Guardian for e following article on the fence law. nr whole people are in favor of it, and ir Representatives should heed our ants. We believe it is fair to set down ne-tenths of the white people as being favor of the no fence law. The Guar "Tiie Fence Law.?We join the Press d Banner in its urgent demand that o Legislature, at its coming session, ss the fence law. So far as Ninety-Six tvnsliipis concerned, it is safe, lint we 2 waiting, before making our township ies, hoping that the law will be applito the entire county. Of iis benefits ; are not called upon to speak. Those 10 longer hold out against the manifest *uments its practical use has given are oof against any logieand reason. They j, like Ephraitn, wedded to their idols; them alone. Recently we were in iderson, in which county the fences ve been abolished. We were struck th the good condition of the roads, answer to an Inquiry as to the cause sreof, the reply was that since theadopn of the no-fence law each planter has g a ditch alongside of his fields to keep hides from trespassing, throwing the t upon the centre of the road. These -ches carry oil'the water, and with the tall amount of work which the roads ually get, they are kept in good order, lis is but one of many reasons in favor this most necessary law. Hut as, we iderstand, our Representatives are in for of it, we need not write for others." The Governor's Condition. Phis community was much gratified at e appearance of the following paruaph in last Friday's Register: "The anxiety of the public to know the ;act condition of Governor Hampton is lite natural, and deserves to bo grati>d.

Careful Inquiry of citizens in ' that section <if tin; County failed to establish " j the truth of the story, and our people began " to believe tlie whole report, to lie a hoax, and ! some of our citizens thought of writing lothe 1 j Jltv/ix/cr, correcting the damaging statement. Towards the last of the week, however, vague rumors were heard on the streets that there really had been some insult ollered to the Revenue force at a still house somewhere about Lowndesville, and as several of them h i were in town, we concluded to inter-! a view Mr. Richardson, one of their number, |y who, it was understood by some, was present i M at the time of the ditliculty. Approaching II him and stating ilia t v. e wereone of the cdil-1 y ors of the and Jiantirr, and expressing w our wish to know the particulars of the rev- w enue trouble sit Lowndesville, he feigned S much surprise.and answered.': el "What trouble? I haven t heard oj any trouble." lviilor?I refer to the reports current on the t< si reels about the insult to the Revenue otll- II cors at Lowndesville, and of which the Jtcg- t( i.-trr made mention a day or two ago.

T Ileitis a little curious to know upon what F editorial staff he had been employed, we asked him if It wasany of the papers of the e State, that lie had edited, when he said that he was oncc conncctcd with the Otanyebv.ry Ti nits. Kilitor ? Once having been in the , newspaper business yourself you can easily j enont'h appreciate our motive in seeking the particulars of the revenue raid. Richardson?o,yes; and'I am porry that 7 ei:nnot. give you the desired information. You can no doubt get it from some member of the fort*?. Finding that this " Revenue " was not at all communicative, we struck off for ^ other quarters in search of news. This week it came to light that a detachment of the Revenue force had been sent, down to Lowndesvillo from Greenville, to seize an illicit still which was said to be run bv Mr. John Harden, and to arrest liiin for violation of the t'nited States revenue laws I in distilling whiskey without license. The . I "Revenues" went to the residence of Captain !' j Raiford Harden, the father of Mr. John Harjden, and asked if his son had been stilling corn whiskey. This question was answered j 2 by requesting the olllcials to go with him to the sttil and judge for themselves, stating at the same time that he had distilled fruits in r their season, and exhibiting his license for ' the same, as well as evidence from I he ganger 2 that he had complied with all the require- r of the law on the subject. | The Captain and "l^ncle Sam's" boys went 3 I to the still, and it was so evident that nothing 1 I had been done there recently, that the oflicerx ' wore satisfied of the uselessness of their trip, ? and expressed the intention of making a report to their superior to that cflcct, but. sis S they liad not yet seen the man named in , their commission, they went to his house, some four miles distant, and failing to find a him at home, returned to Captain Raiford Harden's, where they put up fur the night,! and were kindly treated. " |j After they hail gone to bed and wore sleeping as sweetly and as unconscious of danger | F as babes, they were aroused about ten o'clock f by some one "hollering" at the old gentleman's {rate. Responding to the call. Captain t Harden went out, and after a short con versa- _ tlon with the si ranker, returned to the house and in/ormed the,'Kevenues" that the visitor r desired to see them at the gate. One of the ? "Revenues," thinking perhaps that some E kind friend hail come to report the where- j about* of scores of stills.'went forth in the darkness to meet him. The following inter- 3 estinc and friendly colloquoy ensued. As s printed, it is substantially correct: Anonymous?I understand that you nre a a Itevenus ollicer, sir? Charles Carson?I am, sir; but I am one of 1 your own people. I am Charles Carson broth- a cr-in-law of General Duller. Governor Hampton recommended me for this position, audit was chiefly through his influence that I obtained the situation. Anonymous? It makes no difference to us, t sir, whose brother-in-law you nre;-but If you 1 ;ire (ienerul Dialer's brother-in-law you should not l>e in this busidess. i'ou are in damn bad company. Charles Carson?You are doubtless aware of the fact that the rowdy members of the ltev- j, enue service have been discharged, and better men put in their places. t A nony inous?Yes, bless your I nnoeent soul; . we know you are just as good as possible, but *' you've come here for no good. Charles Carson?I have come peaceably and quietly to discharge an unpleasant duty. 1 ^ have no Intention of exceeding my authority T or doimi harm to anybody. I liopr this is not * offensive to you. V Vnonyinous? 0, yes; I know you came quietly. In fact, you came so?,uietly, that it looked very much like you were sneaking into the neighborhood. I tell you that you . had better leave here, and that quick, too. Charles ('arson?I think we are entitled to a more courteous reception front you people of " Abbeville. I am a Greenville man, and here's Mike Watson,an Kdgetleld man ; your , people know him. lie's a good fellow and ti one of our party. o Anonymous? Good God; has Mike Watson tcome to this? lie has got no sort of business , in such a crowd. tl Charles Carson?We arc simply discharging our duty, and intend to go peaceably home when our duty is done, Anonymous?You better.

Anonymous?It's nothing to what yon will get if you remain here three hours longer. ? These two ttentieinen?the known ami the unknown?t hen parted at the gate. Mr.Carson r reported to his party in substance the confer- i. once he had held with the stranger at the E gate. Referring to the stranger he said to fi Captain IInrdeii: "ileis not from Georgia. I know 111m. I 1 saw him this morning, and had a conversa- ? tion with liiiu. I cannot he mistaken. It was [Naming a young man, living C in the neighborhood.) ^ Capt. Harden assured him of hiserror In Hits particular. About this time some pistol shots were heard at the fork of the road at the head of the lane, some three handred yards distant. The "Revenues" showedgroatalann at this, and it was in vain that Captain liar- 11 den assured them that It was a party of drinking boys, intending nothing more than an attempt to scare them ! that he would . guarantee they should not be molested, and f urged them to remain all night. Referring to * then nknown who had given the revenue oili- n cors warning to?|uit the County, Carson said: ,i "We will take care of him. We will pay particular attention to his case." Although the gentleman at the gate had intimated that the "Revenues" could ,, have three hours in which to arrange their toilet, settle their bills, <R<\, fearing there might be some discrepancy In their chronom- _ uivr*, .inn u> [ircvciii at una iiuur <?i niv night a prolonged argument its to the exact \ iiour at which it would become unhealthy k for a Revenue officer to remain in that locality, they dressed as leisurely as possible under tlie circumstances, while the boys down the road wcre''loolingaway" their time at the innocent amusement of target practice y and shooting Imaginary "Revenues," and other spirits that might presume to intrude I-interrupt the harmony and good feeling of 1 ihutijiiiet and inoffensive assembly. While J this shooting was going on down the road, C these Revenue gentlemen were arranging It their toilet and preparing to go to a healthier 1] climate. As they were peaceable men, and it did not expect to assail anybody nor to be assaulted, they didn't, waste any time in gathering up their pistols, hand cutrs, kn ticks iVe., that lay loose about their bedroom, and n as the weather was pleasant, they didn't care b to be encumbered on their journey by such C articles as saddlebags;?what diil they want with such impedimenta? Kidding the Captain a hasty good-night, regardless of his " entreaties to remain until sifter breakfast, C they took up the line of inarch for Abbeville y Court House, where they arrived safely next {' morning between daylight and sunrise. B Seriously, these Revenue officials came to h Abbeville as the representative of IheGeneral (iovernment, in the discharge of a disagreea- o hie duty and should not have been disturbed. Mr. John Harden had, been reported to the revenue officials:lsbeing the owner of tin Illicit still. The rumor now is, that he did have a still on a branch several miles distant trom the one owned by his father. This fact, ~ it Is supposed, created confusion in the minds c of the Revenue officials, as they went to the ? still belonging to Captain Harden without searching for the son's still. That night while the revenue officers were hi bed at Capt. Ilarden's, some half dozen bo.vs, not having any love for men In the revenue business, and thinking to have some fun at their expense, and without reflecting upon the enormity of the crime they were about to commit, as a body went to within * three hundred or four hundred yards of the T house and deputed one of their number to jj give the revenue men notice that they would ?i have only three hours in which to leave the County. p This fact has been telegraphed from one end .)( of the country to the other, with every bad ?i interpretation and exaggeration that it was possible to give. One result of this trouble will be, Mr. John1 Harden, and the lyan who notified the "Revenues" to leave will henceforth be self-exiled from the home of their birth or else they Q will be compelled to stand a trial before the IJ United Stales Court, and if convicted receive the vengeance of otl'cndcd Justice at the hands of those who, in advance, proclaim their vlndietiveness towards this class ofotfenders. While we do not sympathize at all with wilful offenders against the peace and dignity of Abbeville County, we treat Mr. Raum's statement, elsewhere to be found In } this paper In reference to this matter, with j, that, contempt It so much deserves. We have ... never asked Mr. Kaum for clemency to Abbeville men who run Illicit distilleries. Wlien such requests are made it will then be time for hiin lo express Ills views as to the propriety of extending clomency to us. TheGovern! incut did a magnanimous thing in suspending sentence against the mountaineers of Greenville and other counties who offended under very different circumstances from those which a man In Abbeville county I would offend in doing the same act. In I tills thickly settled community It is Impossi- K ble to commit the offence without being ei caught,and the inducement is not so great si here as elsewhere on account of the great A difference in the marketable value of grain. ^ The "Revenus" now at Abbeville seem to have tho greatest dread of some bodily | harm at the hands of an organized force of citizens from the country, and we believe 1 that noue of tlie number now at Abbeville >roclaim their business?tlicy are drummers! t is said that they have engaged stable room or about t wenty horses, and it Is supposod hat an equal number of riders will b? nuarer<d iu town for an Indefinite length of I me. (S THE JtAMPAOK.
