THURSDAY MORNING, .AUB. I, ?870,
THF, REVENUE MURDERERS.
A dispatch from Washington, dated
2Gth July, states that the President, act
ing according to tho opinion of Secretary
of State EvarU;, who holde "that thc
Federal authorities - must maintain its
sovereignty, and its right to dispose of
tho cases before its own Courts without
interference by the State authorities, and
that tho Government should proceed to
act at o-".e under Section 043 of tho Re
vised Statutes, and to have the cases re
moved under said section to tho Circuit
Court of tlie United States," has decided
not to let the cases of the revenue mur
derers of Lndd go to the Supreme Court
of this Stale on appeal from the decision
of Judge Korsbaw, but to carry them to
tho Circuit Court of the United States
upon a writ otJtabcas corpus, and have
thom released on bail. Wm. E. Earle
left Washington on that day to apply to
Judge Bond to call an extra term of thc
Circuit Court immediately to effect this.
Considerable interest is now centered
in this movement, as it is thought Judge
Kershaw will resist the step taken, and
the State officials will refuso to surrender
tho prisoners to tho Uultcd States Mar
shal in response to tho summons of tho
Circuit Court.
TUE CHARLESTON COUPON CASES.
Tho reply to our article of two weoks
ago upon this question, is preseuted to j
our readears this week, although it con
tains no new information, and is virtually
a reiteration of tho statements of our cor
respondent which called forth our article
to which ho now replies, except the por
tion of it which claims that we exceeded
the bounds of legitimate controversy in
mentioning that our correspondent had
studied law, and stays in the oflico of
Messrs. Lord & Inglesby, the AttornoyB*
for tho bondholders in the cases about
which wo were arguing. It might have
boen more favorable for our correspon
dents views of this question fur it not to
have been known that he was no inti
mately connected with tho subject matter
of which he wroto, but it certainly did
not promete? a full understanding of it
to leave the impression upon tho public
mind that some disinterested lover of
justice was writing in defense of tho
slandered (?) Bondholders of Chat leaton.
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 tho bond
holders, and that the writer was inti
mately associated with them, and that
therefore it v.-as reasonable that he
formed his peculiar views of this case
from their stand point. He may net
havo consulted with them a'- .it the
phraseology of his article, and they may
not have known that he wroto it, but he
will hardly say that he did not consult
with them about thc first article In the
INTELLIGENCER, and he will hardly say
that ho assumed any positions which do
not meet their approval in his reply. If
ho did v.-ri lo about a case of the Attor
neys in whose office ho studied, and id
practicing without properly understand
ing their views, it would, to Bay the least,
be remarkable. Moreover, to show that
his first article properly represented their
views^his r?p?y after he admits consult
ing them, hos not developed any now
mattei in tho controversy. Therefore we
think it was proper for us to atato that he
was connected with the Attornoys of the
bondholders, ano that he semi-o?eiaiiy
represented their views.
Our correspondent reiterates that the
cases to command the county treasurer of
Charleston to receivo certain coupons
from consolidation bonds in payment of
taxes, wcro not rushed to trial boforo
Judge Mackey, and only come up in tho
due course of tho court. This is no
doubt tho fact, and also that th? relators
had the right under the law to have
thom tried Is alcoa fact, but this does
not affect tho patriotism of the proceed?
ing. Our correspondent has admitted
that they wcro postponed before Judge
Wallaco because tho question waa beforo
tho Legislature, and yet they were tried
before Judge Mackey, when the question
was before a special - court, raised aa a
compromise and agreed to by all parties.
There is no force in the allegation that
tho boud court cannot grant a man
damus to compel tho receipt of theso cou
pons for taxes, because whonovcr the
bond court decides a bond to bo valid,
ita decision would make the coupons duo
pn that bond always receivable lot taxes,
and therefore the relatora could havo
etayed their cause on tho coupons and
Recured a decision upon their booda
which would have eattled not only tho
validity of tho coupons Bued on, but of all
the coupons upon such bonds as were
found to bo valid. Tho course pursued
by theso bondholders might bo a very
good one for lawyers, as it would neces
sitate a number of suits or require the
State to pay all the coupons. Tho suit
upon c o up -J: is b euch a small matter that it
would coat the State too much to defend
each and every caso aa fully and com
pletely aa it ought to be dona for the ser
vices of counsel, and the expenses of the
uris , would in many instances, cost
oro than the amount involved in the
coupon cases, and if tho State should gain
tho suits upon Some and lose upoa others,
aa no doubt would bo the case, the cost
would be enormous, ind still tho validity
of none of tho bonds would be souled and
new suits would be rising as fast aa cou
pon? matare,' ?ud taxes are collected.
We haye claimed, and see no reason to
cbatt&e thM opinion, that the whoio bond
question ought to be mettled as economi
cly, as justly, aa speedily and,aa per
??aible, and any citizen of
interferes for his oclfish j
purposes to prov Z-i auch a result, is not
patriotic. Now the investigation hythe
mid, wo believe, secure a
couomicai and permettent
ti ils dflbt question,
:-an bi convinced that this
for if they ref uso Ulis fair means of set?
i tlerneut, and tho matter is thrown back
: Into the Legislature, they may depend
upon it that nothing moro w il bo paid
than what ia free from all taint of fraud.
I Oar correspondent is right that fraud
inub. 'ie proved, and cannot be inferred,
but he ia wrong in his conclusion that
we have charged any bonds ns fraudulent.
We know that fraud is mixed up in
many of them, hut do not know exactly
which ones, hence we fuvor thc investi
gation in order that wo may pay the
good ones, aud reject those shown to ho
fraudulent. Our correspondent says this
ia his position also, and boneo, wc are
only disagreed upon thc modo of proof.
Ile favors suits upon tho coupons as ?hey
mature, which would uTord tho lawyers
a magnificent harvest out of the State,
while we favor tho decision of a court
upon the bonds themselves, which would
be more thorough, just, final aud binding
upon tho Statu and the bondholders, and
co lld bo effected very much cheaper
than thc mode our correspondent advo
cates. He says that wo injure the State
by declaring "to the world that South
Carolina has established courts and filled
I their benches for the trial of controver
sies between her citizens, and that she
will not submit to those same courts."
Tho State docs not refuso to submit sr!*s
against her to her proper courts, hui, il
any court ia too expensive or necessitates
a multiplicity ofsuitu involving such is
sues as tho bonded debt, tho State not
only has the right but it is her duty to
pr?vido some cheaper and moro expedi
tious mode of adjudication. This is all
?.he State has dono, and IH doing lc Hbo
has given ber creditors the benefit of a
court of three instead of one of her Cir
cuit Judges. This ls intended to consoli
date nil suits, mid definitely settle thc
State debt question. Our readers can
judge for themselves aH to which is the
moro patriotic mode of settlement, th?
ouo proposed hy our correspondent, 01
ibo one provided by tho Legislature ant
approved by tho Governor, and if tin
bondholders destroy this court they wil
rue their folly when more rigid term:
are imposed upon them.
JUDGE KERSHAW KSD THE NORTH
ERN TAPERS.
Some of the loading Northern new?
j pnperH take pleasure in raising th
I "bloody Bhirt," and in making an unjue
and unwarranted' attack upon Judg
Korsbawlbr his decision in thc revenu
cases. Tho questions involved wer
purely legal, nnd tho decision, which i
an elaborate one, is rondcred iu a digu
fied and legal strain. To review tho d<
cisi?n would bo a work of supererogt
tion. There is but ono tribunal to r<
view it, and it #s presumed thut in th
due course of time tho Supreme Cou
will review it, und either set it aside <
confirm it. Tho conflict of jurisdictio
between State and Federal Courts is nt
au uncommon occurrence, and such
likely to be tho caso as long aa tho go
ernment lasts. Tho Now York Evenii
Pott seams disposed to look nt the who
matter from a common SOUHO s?rndpoic
and its criticisms and strictures ou tl
other papers for their tirades is point?
and pertinent. Thero aro facts comic
tod with tho revenue troubles in tl
mountain region- of South Carolin
theso papers seem to ignore. A ft
years ago one Alexander Mattison,
revenuo officer, captured one Davis, wi
lind been or was engaged in tho illi<
trafile of whiskey, and after diaarinii
him, brutally shot him down os thouj
ho bad been*a hog. Mattison was i
rested, and was in tho hands of the Sti
authorities and held for trial, but t
Circuit Court of tho Uuiied oi?iua in.i?
a writ of habeas corpus, and Mattisc
instead of being tried, wau thought
tho best government under the sun to
worthy of higher honors, being promot
to a higher and moro lucrativo positi
in tho civil service Whether a govei
ment or its judiciary can bo accesst
after tho fact is a question yet to bo t
citied; but it docs seem that it has :
coived, relieved, comforted and assist
at least ono folon, which if an individi
wero to do, ho would be treated as
accessory after tho fact. No doubt t
Ludd murderers thought thu Court wot
follow the same precedent in their cn
and heneo their great anxiety tobe tra!
fcrred to the United States Court.
As our readers know, when these fe
revenuo officers had accomplished th
bloody . work, they fled to Qrcenvil
and with the facility which ch ante te ri:
many Republican officials, they had
vented a beautiful story entirely exoi
rating themselves, and which they sprc
over the country with electric speed, e
an ignorant public was almost ready
exclaim, "Well dono, good and faith
servants." But for tho timely and gi
erous action of tho News and Courier
Bonding a faithful correspondent to i
the whole nutter of these revenuo tn
bl?s, juatico would Bttll havo been sin
bering on while ihn Wood of poor Lt
would have been crying in yais for v
gcanco. In Greenville these officers w
arrested, and afterwards appeared ?ef
Judge Kershaw, and moved to chat
the venue to Andereon County. 1
motion was granted. Then the plo!
escape justice began to thicken. Ag
appearing before Judge Kershaw, w
the United States LMtrict Attorney, a
an ex-District Attorney for counsel, tl
moved to transfer the case to the Uni
States Court. Judge Kershaw rofui
the motion. He realized thc importai
of the decision and tba grava OUM??
made, and after patient and calm inv
ligation, with law and argument of coi
sal before him, he filed, ai before stat
an elaborate opinion, and upon an hy]
thetlcai case that if the United Bta
Court in issuing a writ of habeas eori
transcended ita authority ho would di?
gard tho writs. This has set the "outr
mill" to grinding for the next campai
And with pens dipped lu infamy blac
than ink, they Blander Judgo Kersh

Aa tu thc cause belonging to tho Federal 1
Couria, that ls a matter for tho Judges of t
the Supremo Court to decide, and we 1
arc not disposed to think they ?ill call 1
upon the editor o? the Tribun' for his <
opinion a? to jurisdiction. A? to the |
other part of tho parnVrapb, it is n baso ?
fuUehood, an the affidavit* of ?ll parties i

people "moonshiners,"! '.bat does not

supposo from their fol set state-ne nts that
our people were only fit lirgcts for reve
nue raider? to ?boot at. she name paper
would make it appear thu it wa? great
presumption in tho nevApapers of this
State to invite her exiled feons to return,
and for Gov. Hamptoi fr, offer pardon
to them. It is a notoJnu* fact that
large numbers pf our citizen) had to flee

and liberties front thu clutches (f. packed
negro juries, Huborued and perjured wit
nesses, mid worse still thieving carpet
baggers. They would fain make it ap
pear that Judge Kerahnw's decision is an
indication of n rebellion, and they bold
ly assert that bu is in defiance of tho
Federal government, and that thu gov
ernment must assert its power. Well, to
put it in mild ternit*, such insinuations
aro unjust, low, mean, vile, contemptible
and cowardly. Judge Kershaw realized
thc fact, doubtless, that there would be
a conflict of jurisdiction, but thgri?-?-".'"

Hut what if there is n conflict of juris
diction ? How does that provo a re
bellion ? Such conflicts have arisen of
ten aud will arise again, and usa general
rulo the Supremo Court have decided the
question raised without newspapers and
their correspondents making themselves
fools by meddling. If there hud been a
conflict of jurisdiction between thu State
and Federal Courts in New York, it is
quite doubtful about these samu papers
crying out rebellion because a New York
Judge had decided the State hud rights
where tho Federal Government claimed
exclusivo jurisdiction. A conflict of ju
risdiction between tho State and Federal
Courts in South Carolina goes no further
towards proving a rebellion hero than
it would lind tho same contingency arisen

It is said that mean whiskey makes

OUR PARIS LETTER.
The t'rfat Kxhlbltlon-A Get* ?ral llevievr
by our Cnrrettnoud* at
PAMS; July ij, 1878.
On lauding in Liverpool, I sent you a
brief di: cri pl ion of my voyngo across tho
Atlantic, promising to writo again from
Hamburg and Copenhagen. I have been
obliged to disappoint you iii that respect,
for upon my arrival at Humburgc, a do/en
brothers and almost an equal number of
sister's and I was almost going to sny
fathers aud mothers, weru on tho dock to
meet mc. I was captured.and did not
havo a moment's peaco until 1 ?-ot away
from thom and found myself in Paris. I
am late in the field, but shall miu-j up
for time lost.
Among the most instructive develop
ments of modorn civilization aro the In
ternational Exhibitions which, commenc
ing in London in 1851, under the inspira
tion and auspices of the late sagacious
and public sniritod Princo Albert, ham
boen succeeded by more extended and
comprehensivo ones, closing with our
own glorious Centennial. The French
Exposition of 1878 embraces in ihr scope
tho productions and resulta of every in
dustry, art and science, as well as their
processes aud methods of operation.
This is dono not merely for purposes of
competition and in the distribution of pri
s?e, bul aiso and moro especially, wiih
the object of passing in review, under
the scrutiny of the most accomplished ex
perts aud mon of science, all of tho fruits
of the skill, industry, and exact condi
tion and tho comparative merits or de
fects of tho industrial development of
?.ach nation and of each description of
u-tlela or process could be sot forth.
Tho progress which such examination
hdicates of the exhibits, and to des
cribe the highest standards of excellence,
amy aim white in Paris. From the com
nencement of the industrial epoch which
lates from the London Exhibition of
1851, the profound bignificance and value
if such exhibitions as this havo been
.eal i zed by tho people^ and governments
H civilized nations. Their beneficent
influence are many and widespread ;
.hey advance human knowledge in all
Unctions. Through the universal lan
guage of the products of labor artisans of
di countries hold communication; ancient
jrejudicea arie broken dow? ; are fratcrn
zed; generous rivalries in tho peaceful
leldsofindustry are excited; tho ten.
"HP"
ndustries, products, pud organizations
lesigned to promoto tho material and
noral well-being of tho people are pro
minent, and tile underlying, animating
ipirit and impulse of the whole plan ore
for the advancement, prosperity, and
liappineasof the people of all nations,
?no of the most salutary results is the
promotion ot an appreciation of the trua
:liguity of labor, and its paramount
idainiH to consideration aa the >***/'"r
national wealth and tv>-~~*
Such exhibitions have become national
necessities and duties, and aa auch it may
be expected that they will be repeated
again and nguiu hereafter.
As u participator ill this great Intcr
tcruational display, tho United State*
have labored under many disadvantages,
well known to all Americans. The re
moteness of tho Exhibition, anu a lazy
Congress greatly discouraged effort, inas
much as comparatively few of the exhi
bitors could get ready and attend to plac
ing and explaining their contributions in
time. The broad Atlantic separate? our
Artisans and producers from thc Champ
de Mars, while most of the great compet
ing nations arc connected by rail directly
with the Exposition building. The cost
of transportation within the limits of the
United States to tho agency in New
York was considerable, and although tho
contributions wcro forwarded across tho
ocean by the government, no jpjo.?*8*0?
is made for the repackiiw?"*,fnfr relurn of

bibiti*^*rc^o be at tho risk and expense
oTlhc 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 bo congratulated
upon thc success of its exhibition ; and
the akill, industry, and energy for thc
people docs not suffer by comparison in
the great international contest.
Our raw materials are not excelled
by any in thc exposition, and by theil
variety, abundance and quality, give*
con vi- ing evidence of the extraordinary
material wealth of our States and Terri
tories. On tho display of mineral pro
ducta, tho coal of Pennsylvania, the gold
and silver of California, Nevado, Idalu
und Colorudo, the copper and iron o
Minnesota, the zinc ores of Now Jersey
and the emory of Massachusetts, are es
pecially prominent. Tho collection ii

disproportionately represented, and i

foroBt, the display made by the Unitei
States is not good. Much attention i
given to this class by other countries

Tho exhibitions of the cereal produt

and not on a scalo commensurate wit

An Incident In Naples'.
NAPLES, ITALY, July 10, 1878.
Thc wido circulation of your vnluab
papor is such, that it has been consider!
to bo proper by a number of Americni
now in this city to givo your readers r
account of tho shameful treatment of
distinguished American lady by ono
the proprietors of tho Hotel Royal d
Etrangers, ono of ibo largest hotels
this city, nnd of tho just punishme
which ho received at tho hands of ge
tieraco who were ready to peril thc
lives in tho causo of right and trui
against imposition and oppression upt
an unprotected lady.
Miss Mary Custis Leo, a daughter
General Robert E. Lee, arrived herc
few days since in company with-soc
lady friends from Malta, who register!
at the above , named hotel. It appea
thnt during the night of the 8th instat
the mosquito bar around tho bed igniti
nocidently from a candle, which Mi
Leo had lighted. In a few moments tl
fhtnvvBspreadand caught the lace curtair
and tho room was soon enveloped
flame? v.-hich Miss Lee herclea??T c
dcavorcd to suppress but without su
ceas, and fearing that the hotel might 1
burned, she gave tho alarm of fire, whii
6oou was heard by some gentlemen, wi
wcro occupying rooms on the same fhx
when ex-Judge Samuel W. Melton ai
Mr. W. A.Clark, of Columbia,S. C. wc
th? first who came to the rescue of Mi
Lee, and succeded in saving her mon
and valuable jewelry from tho flarai
The morning following the fire, M?as L
expressed her willingness to pay all dal
ages, though tho fire had occurred frc
accident. Tho proprietor taking adva
toge of tho lady, demanded 2,000 franc
which was a preposterous and enorme
cbargo for tho damage. A gentlem
from Ohio, a Mr. Poland, a guest of t
hotel, who haa been vice president of i
insutance company for a number of yea
estimated the damage at $70. T
frtendaof Miss Lee at once demurred
thia enormous charge. Une Americ
consul; Mr. Duncan, at this place was e
cecdinglr kind, and protested against i
payment of any such sum. The prop
etor now being foiled in bia disgrace!
efforts to overcharge for damage oem
ring from accident, became insolent ai
?poto in a manner which reflected up
Miss Lee. Th? insult was- quickly i
oentcd. Mr. Clark, of Columbia, S. <
struck him over the head with an umbri

waa surrounded by a number of Italiai
who were clerks, waiters and attaches

old was very good. -.t '.lera are over six hun
dred of them in dally use In this County,
giving perfect satisfaction. You may buy a
Machine, "no-called," for less money, but if "
you want to be satlsfiod after you parchas?
always get the best. Thia Company sell
more than all the rest put together, and
there are about fifty di lieront Machines on
tho market. Tho Siugor was thu first t?
reduco tho price, and of course tho mxwtrt
had to follow, and they had 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
thc Singer what I can get another at, I will
take tho Sluger alJ tho timo. What do
they mean by that?
Cash prices, 935, $10 and $-15, owing to
stylo and finish, but the Machines arc tho
same throughout In the nice adjnstment of

1 he best criterion that I can give you an
