E. B. MTJRRA Y, Editor. THJRSD?Y W0RN1N8, -AU8. I, 1878. THE REVENUE MURDERERS. A dispatch, from Washington, dated 26th July, states that the President, act? ing according to th ? opinion of Secretary of State Evarts, wio holds "that the Federal authorities * must maintain its sovereignty, and its right to dispose of the cases before its own Courts without interference by the State authorities, and that the Government should proceed to act at once under Section 643 of the Re? vised Statutes, and to have the cases re? moved under said section to the Circuit Court of the United States," has decided not to let the cases of the revenue mur? derers of Ladd go to the Supreme Court of this State on appeal from the decision of Judge Kershaw, but to carry them to the Circuit Court of the United States upon a writ ofJiabeas corpus, and have them released on bail. Wm. E. Earle left Washington on that day to apply to Judge Bond to call an extra term of the Circuit Court immediately to effect this. Cor siderable interest is now centered in this movement, as it is thought Judge Kershaw will resist the step taken, and the State officials will refuse to surrender the prisoners to the United States Mar? shal in response to the summons of -the Circuit Court. THE CHARLESTON COUPON CASES. The reply to our article of two weeks ago upon this question, is presented to onr readears this week, although it con? tains no new information, and is virtually a reiteration of the statements of onr cor? respondent which called forth our article to which he now replies, except the por? tion of it which claims that we exceeded (he bennds of legitimate controversy in mentioning that our correspondent had studied law, and stays in the office of Messrs. Lord & Inglesby, the Attorneys' for the bondholders in the cases about, which we were arguing. It might have been more favorable for our correspon? dent's views of this question for it not to have been known that he was so inti? mately connected with the subject matter of which he wrote, but it certainly did not promote, a full understanding of it to leave the impression upon the public mind that some disinterested lover of justice was writing in defense of the slandered (?) Bondholders of Charleston. Our reference to Messrs. Lord & Ingles? by did not reflect upon-these gentlemen at all. It merely gave the information that they were attorneys for the bond? holders, and that the writer was inti? mately associated with them, and that therefore it was reasonable that he formed his peculiar views of this case from their stand point. He may not have consulted with them about the ? phraseology of his article, and they may not have known that he wrote it, but be will hardly say that he did not consult with them about the first article in the krraixiGEXCEB, and he will hardly say that ho assumed any positions which do not meet their approval in his reply. If be did write about a case of the Attor? neys in whose office he studied, and is ?practicing without properly understand? ing their views, it would, to say the least, be remarkable. Moreover, to show that his first article properly represented their views^his reply after he admits consult? ing them, has not developed any new matter in the controversy. Therefore we think it was proper for us to state that he was connected with the Attorneys of the bondholders, and that he tani-officially represented their views. - Our correspondent reiterates that the cases to command the county treasurer of Charleston to receive certain coupons from consolidation bonds in payment of taxes, were not rushed to trial before Judge Mackey, and only come up in the due course of the court. This is no doubt the fact, and also that the relators had the right under the law to have them tried is also a fact, but this does not affect the patriotism of the proceed? ing. Our correspondent has admitted that they were postponed before Judge Wallace because the question was before the Legislature, and yet they were tried before Judge Mackey, when the question was before a special court, raised as a compromise and agreed to by all parties. There is no force in the allegation that the bond court cannot grant a man? damus to compel the receipt of these cou? pons for taxes, because whenever the bond court decides a bond to be valid, its decision would make the coupons due .on that bond always receivable for taxes, and therefore the relators could have stayed their cause on the coupons and secured a decision upon their bonds which would have settled not only the validity of the coupous sued on, but of all the coupons upon such bonds as were found to be valid. The course pursued by these bondholders migh', be a very good one for lawyers, as it would neces? sitate a number of suits or require the State to pay all the coupons. The suit upon coupons is such a small matter that it would cost the State too much to defend each and every case as fully and com? pletely as it ought to be done for the ser? vices of counsel, and the expenses of the courts would in many instances, cost more than the amount involved in the coupon cases, and if the State should gain the suits upon some and lose upon others, as no doubt would be the case, the cost would be enormous, and still the validity of none of the bonds would be settled and new suits would be rising as fast as cou? pons mature, snd taxes are collected. We have claimed, and see no reason to change the opinion, that the whole bond question ougbt to be settled as economi? cally, as justly, as speedily and as per? manently as possible, and any citizen of the State who interferes for his selfish purposes to prevent such a result, is not patriotic. Now the investigation by the bond court would, we believe, secure a speedy, j ast, economical and permanent settlement of the debt question, and until we can be convinced that this is wrong wo will hold the opinion that those who seek partial, temporary and .,- expensive settlements like suits on cou ? ? * n iljjtriotic as. thevi_shr>nJd. for if they refuse this fair means of set. tlement, and the matter is thrown back into the Legislature, they may depend upon it that nothing more will be paid than what is free from all taint of fraud. Onr correspondent is right that fraud must be proved, and cannot be inferred, but he Is wrong in his conclusion that we have charged any bonds as fraudulent. We know that fraud is mixed up in many of them, but do not know exactly which ones, hence we faror the investi? gation in order that we may pay the good ones, and reject those shown to be fraudulent. Our correspondent says this is his position also, and hence, we are only disagreed upon the mode of proof. He favors suits upon the coupons as they matnre, which would afford the lawyers a magnificent harvest out of the State, while we favor the decision of a court upon the bonds themselves, which would be more thorough, just, final and binding npon the State and the bondholders, aud could be effected very much cheaper than the mode our correspondent advo? cates. He says that we injure the State by declaring "to the world that South Carolina has established courts and filled their benches for the trial of ..controver? sies between her citizens, and that she will not Bubmit to those same courts." The State does not refuse to submit suits against her to her proper courts, but if any court is too expensive or necessitates a multiplicity of suits involving such is? sues as the bonded debt, the State not only has the r'gbt but it is ber duty to provide some cheaper and more expedi? tions mode of adjudication. This .is all the Stele has doj^ an<ijh~ToingTt she has given ber' creditors the benefit of a c??rtT?f three instead of one of her Cir-? cuit Judges. This is intended to consoli? date all suits, and definitely settle the State debt question. Our readers can judge for themselves as to which is the more patriotic mode of settlement, the one proposed by our correspondent, or tbe one provided by the Legislature and approved by the Governor, and if the bondholders destroy this court they will rue their folly when more rigid terms are imposed upon them. JUDGE KERSHAW AND THE NORTH? ERN PAPERS. Some of the leading Northern news? papers take pleasure in raising the "bloody shirt," and in making an unjust and unwarranted' attack upon Judge Ke rah aw 'for his decision in the revenue cases. The questions involved were purely legal, and the decision, which is an elaborate one, is rendered in a digni? fied and legal strain. To review the de? cision would be a work of supereroga? tion. There is but one tribunal to re? view it, and it is presumed that in the due course of time the Supreme Court will review it, and either set it aside or confirm it. The conflict ot jurisdiction between State and Federal Courts is not an uncommon occurrence, and such is likely to be the case as long as the gov? ernment lasts. The New Y ork Evening Post seems disposed to look ut the whole matter from, a common sense standpoint, and its criticisms and strictures on the other papers for their tirades is pointed and pertinent. There are facts connec? ted with the revenue troubles in the mountain regions of South Carolina, these papers seem to. ignore. A few years ago one Alexander Mattison, a revenue officer, captured oue Davis, who had been or was engaged in the illicit traffic of whiskey, and after disarming him, brutally shot him dowr as though he had been" a hog. Mattison was ar? rested, and was in the hands of the State authorities and held for trial, but the Circuit Court of the United States issued a writ of habeas corpus, and Mattison, instead of being tried, was thought by the best government under the sun to be worthy of higher honors, being promoted to a higher and more lucrative position in the civil service. Whether a govern? ment or its judiciary can be accessory after the fact is a question yet to be de? cided ; but it does seem that it bas re? ceived, relieved, comforted and assisted at least one felon, which if an individual were to do, he would be treated as an accessory after the fact. No doubt the Ladd murderers thought the Court would follow the Bame precedent in their case, and hence their great anxiety to be trans? ferred to the United States Court. As our readers know, when these four revenue officers had accomplished their bloody work, they fled to Greenville, and with the facility which characterizes many Republican officials, they had in? vented a beautiful story entirely exone? rating themselves, and which they spread over the country with electric speed, and an ignorant public was almost ready to I exclaim, "Well done, good and faithful servants." But for the timely and gen? erous action of the News and Courier in sending a faithful correspondent to sift the whole matter of these revenue trou? bles, justice would still have been slum? bering on while the blood of poor Ladd would have been crying in vain for ven? geance/ In Greenville these officers were arrested, and afterwards appeared before Judge Kershaw, and moved to change the venue to Anderson County. The motion was granted. Then the plot to escape justice began to thicken. Again appearing before Judge Kershaw, with the United States District Attorney, and an ex-District AttorDey for counsel, they moved to transfer the case to the United States Court. Judge Kershaw refused the motion. He realized the importance of the decision and the grave questions made, and after patient and calm inves? tigation, with law and argument of coun? sel before him, he filed, as before stated, an elaborate opinion, and upon an hypo? thetical case that if the United States Court in issuing a writ of habeas corpus transcended its authority he would disre? gard the writs. This has set the "outrage mill" to grinding for the next campaign, and with pens dipped in .infamy blacker than ink, they slander Judge Kershaw when they state that he openly sides with the illicit distillers, and does all be can to prevent their punishment. Another paper with equal baseness?with an "in? solent, overbearing, tyranical, insubordi? nate" desire to misrepresent, traduce and vilify our people, and with a chee? as unblushing as ever the "father of lies" ?Kwimed. Rflp?: "These in ' ffflilfc*IM H I Carolina holds them for murder, refuing to let them be tried in the Federal Oir'ta where the cause undoubtedly beI<ogs." As to the cause belonging to the ftderal Courts, that is a matter for the Judges of the Supreme Court to decide, sad we are not disposed to think they ?11 call upon the editor of the Tribun for his opinion as to jurisdiction. As to the other part of the paragraph, it is a base falsehood, as the affidavits of all parties who were present will grj to prove. If it affords onr enemies pleasure to call our people "moonshiners," that does not hurt us; but one might very reasonably suppose from their false statements that our people were only fit targets for reve? nue raiders to shoot at. The same paper would mate it appear tint it was great presumption in the newspapers of this State to invite her exiled sons to return, and for Gov. Hamptok to offer pardon to them. It is a nowhJous fact that large numbers of our citizens had to flee the State in order to preserve\heir lives and liberties from the clutches oi packed negro juries, suborned and perjured wit? nesses, and worse still thieving carpet? baggers. They would fain make it ap? pear that Judge ICershaw's decision is an indication of a rebellion, and they bold? ly assert that he is in defiance of the Federal government, and that the gov? ernment must assert its power. Well, to put it in mild terms, such insinuations are unjust, low, mean, vile, contemptible and cowardly. Judge Kershaw realized the fact, doubtless, that there would be a conflict of jurisdiction, but therji---**" ^j-tern-fcrty before^^sii^-^^ue to be made, and heTiaTthemanliness to make it and not shirk his duty. For this, all good people honor him. But what if there is a conflict of juris? diction ? How does that prove a re? bellion? Such conflicts have arisen of? ten and will arise again, and as a general rule the Supreme Court have decided the question raised without newspapers and their correspondents making themselves fools by meddling. If there had been a conflict of jurisdiction between the State and Federal Courts in New York, it is quite doubtful about these same papers crying out rebellion because a New York Judge had decided the State had rights where ttie Federal Government claimed exclusive jurisdiction. A conflict of ju? risdiction between the State and Federal Courts in South Carolina goes no further towards proving a rebellion hero than it would had tf?" -<une contingency arisen in New York n any other State in the Union, and t?e newspaper that would reach such a conclusion from such a premise, must have an idiot for an editor, who should be sent to a good in? sane asylum for treatment. Some of these editors see ghosts?murdered State rights whose "miscreated front" casts it? self athwart their distorted visions. The wicked ericth aloud rebellion, but it is all peaceful and calm here. Everyone seems to be pursuing the noiseless tenor of his way. It is said that mean whiskey makes men see "sights." Perhaps the mean whiskey transported from the revenue cursed regions cf South Carolina is re? sponsible for the hobgoblin6-raw-headed and-bloody-bonea-ghosts of State rights and nulification, ku klux outrages, and "little niggers" burnt in torch-light pro? cessions. What else could have disturbed the equnuimity of the truly pious so as to make them see such frightful mon? sters ? They should consult the family physician forthwith to see whether it origi? nated from mean contraband whiskey, a bad liver or general insanity. If the former, he will advise abstinence ; if it originates in the liver advice will be given according to the emergency of the case; but if the latter is the. cause, and he is at a loss how to prescribe, we suggest as an infallible remedy the fool killer. . OUR PARIS LETTER. The Great Exhibition?A General Kevlcw by our Correspondent Paris, July 13,1878. On landing in Liverpool, I sent you a brief discription of my voyage across the Atlantic, promising to write again from Hamburg and Copenhagen. I have been obliged to disappoint you in that respect, for upon my arrival at Hamburg, a dozen brothers and almost an equal number of sister's and I was almost going to say fathers and mothers, were on the dock to meet me. I was captured.and did not have a moment's peace until I got away from them and found myself in Paris. I am late in the field, but shall make up for time lost. Among the most instructive develop? ments of modern civilization are the In? ternational Exhibitions which, commenc? ing in London in 1851, under the iaspira? tion and auspices of the late sagacious and public spirited Prince Albert, have been succeeded by more extended and comprehensive ones, closing with our own glorious Centennial. The French Exposition of 1S78 embraces in its scope the productions and results of every in? dustry, art and science, as well as their processes and methods of operation. This is done not merely for purposes of competition and in the distribution of pri? zes, but also and more especially, with the object of passing in review, under the scrutiny of the most accomplished ex? perts and men of science, all of the fruits of the skill, industry, and exact condi? tion and the comparative merits or de? fects of the industrial development of each nation and of each description of article or process could be set forth. The progress which such examination indicates of the exhibits, and to des? cribe the highest standards of excellence, is my aim while in Paris. From the com? mencement of the industrial epoch which dates from the London Exhibition of 1851, the profound significance and value of such exhibitions as this have been realized by the people and governments of civilized nations. Their beneficent influence are many and widespread; they advance human knowledge in all directions. Through the universal lan? guage of the products of labor artisans of all countries hold communication; ancient prejudices are broken down; are fratern? ized; generous rivalries in the peaceful fields of industry are excited ; the ten? dencies to war are lesseued; and a better ^u nd eTgi ta^djn^^e^^e^^^^yo^^n^al industries, products, and organizations designed to promote the material and moral well-being of the people are pro? minent, and the underlying, animating spirit and impulse of the whole plan are for the advancement, prosperity; and happiness of the people of all nations. One of the most salutary results is the promotion of an appreciation of the trus dignity of labor, and its paramount claims to consideration as the basis of national wealth and power. Such exhibitions have become national necessities and duties, and as such it may be expected that they will be repeated again and again hereafter. As a participator in this great Inter teruational display, the United State? have labored under many disadvantages, well known to all Americans. The re? moteness of the Exhibition, and a lazy Congress greatly discouraged effort, inas? much as comparatively few of the exhi? bitors cotdd get ready and attend to plac? ing and explaining their contributions in time. The broad Atlantic separates our Artisans and producers from the Champ de Mars, while most of the great compet? ing nations are connected by rail directly with the Exposition building. The cost of transportation within the limits of the United States to the agency in New York was considerable, and although the contributions were forwarded across the ocean by the government, iiopp^ion is made for the repacking- -fircTreturn of the articles, wbJ^V*f"?c close of the ex hibi?i>*^trt^0 0Q at On risk and expense ? "TjTThe exhibitor, and thus many persons who would have joined in the exhibition, were deterred from taking any part in it. Yet, notwithstanding all these difficul? ties, the country may be congratulated upon the success of its exhibition ; and the skill, industry, and energy for the people does not suffer by comparison in the great international contest. Our raw materials are not exceueu by any in the exposition, and by their variety, abundance and quality, given convincing evidence of the extraordinary material wealth of our States and Terri? tories. On the display of mineral pro? ducts, the coal of Pennsylvania, the gold and silver of California, Nevada, Idaho and Colorado,the copper and iron of Minnesota, the zinc ores of New Jersey, and the emory of Massachusetts, are es? pecially prominent. The collection is rich; but some regions and products are disproportionately represented, and it lacks that unity and completeness which can only be attained through intelligent organized effort. Almost all other pro? minent displays in this class are prepared with the strong aid and authority of the governments, through regularly organ? ized corns of engineers. In forestry and productions of the forest, the display made by the United States is not good. Much attention is given to this class by other countries ; the display made by France, Brazil, Aus? tria, and particularly Canada, are nota? ble features of the exposition. The exhibitions of the cereal produc? tions and of the cotton, tobacco, wool, and other staple products, though in some instances prominent and thoroughly sa? tisfactory, are in general fragmentary, and not on a scale commensurate with the enormous capacity of the country for their production. The absence of rich furnishings, upholstry, and decorative work, and manufactures depending for their excellence upon a high degree of taste and skill in design is conspicuous. Blondin has opened a hippodrome at the Place d1 Eylan. The hero of the Niagara performs on a tight rope stretch? ed at a height of 60 feet, and measuring 250 feet in length. The other attractions are the American gymnast, Lcona Dane, and a novelty called the Mysteries des Pretres Japonais. Alpha. An Incident in Naples. Naples, Italy, July 10, 1878. The wide circulation of your valuable paper is such, that it has been considered to be proper by a number of Americans now in this city to give your readers an account of the shameful treatment of a distinguished American lady by oue of the proprietors of the Hotel Royal des Etrangers, one of tho largest hotels in this city, and of the just punishment which he received at the hands of gen? tlemen who were ready to peril their lives in the cause of right and truth j against imposition and oppression upon 1 an unprotected lady. Miss Mary Custis Lee, a daughter of General Robert E. Lee, arrived here a few days since in company with some lady friends from Malta, who registered at the above named hotel. It appears that during the night of the 8th instant, the mosquito bar around the bed ignited accidently from a candle, which Miss Lee had lighted. In a few moments the flames spread and caught the lace curtains, and the room was soon enveloped in flames, which Miss Lee heroically en? deavored to suppress but without suc? cess, and fearing that the hotel might be burned, she gave the alarm of fire, which soon was heard by some gentlemen, who were occupying rooms on the same floor, when ex-Judge Samuel W. Melton and Mr. W. A. Clark, of Columbia, S. C. were | the first who came to the rescue of Miss Lee, and succeded in saving her money and valuable jewelry from the flames. The morning following the fire, Miss Lee expressed her willingness to pay all dam? ages, though the fire had occurred from accident. The proprietor taking advan? tage of the lady, demundod 2,000 frances; which was a preposterous and enormous charge for the damage. A gentleman from Ohio, a Mr. Poland, a guest of the hotel, who has been vice president of an insurance company for a number of years, estimated the damage at ?70. The friends of Miss Lee at once demurred to this enormous charge. The American consul, Mr. Duncan, at this place was ex? ceedingly kind, and protested ngaiust the payment of any such sum. The propri? etor now being foiled in his disgraceful efforts to overcharge for damage occur? ring from accident, became insolent and spoke in a manner which reflected upon Miss Lee. The ins'tlt was quickly re? sented. Mr. Clark, of Columbia, S. C, struck him over the head with an umbrel? la. In a few moments the proprietor was surrounded by a number of Italians, who were clerks, waiters and attaches of the hotel, but they were met by Judge Melton, Col. John T. Sloan, Jr.. Mr. D. A. P. Jordan, of South Carolina, and Dr. L B. Roberts, of Georgia, who by their courage and determination caused them to stampede and call for the police. A large crowd soon assembled about the hotel. The proprietor was denounced by Colonel Sloan for his conduct towards Miss Lee; who challenged him to go in Jo the gajdea *?"\" jH^^e* Overtasking the Energie*.

It has been greatly im? proved in the last few months, although the old was very good. There are over six hun? dred of them in doily use in this County, giving perfect satisfaction. You may buy a Machine, "so-called," for less money, but if you want to be satisfied after you purchas? always get the best. This Company sell more than all the rest put together, and there are about fifty different Machines on the market. The Singer was the first ta reduce the price, and of course the minors had to follow, and they bad to come a little below the Singer, or else they would have to abandon business, for I know from experi? ence that parties say if yon will take for the Singer what I can get another at, I will take the Singer all the time. What do they mean by that ? Cash prices, ??5, $40 and $-15, owing to style and finish, but the Machines are the same throughout in the nice adjustment of their parts, &c The best criterion that 1 can give you as to my opinion of the different machines, is my connection with this famous Machine for nine years in succession. Machines sold on easy terms. Machines of all makes repaired at short notice, and prices moderate. Needles, Oil and parts al? ways on band. Come and see me before you buy.
