WYLIE, formaly of Chester, was one of the medical witnesses examined the other day in the Vanderbilt will case. THE CHARLESTON Journal of C~om - merce commends Judge Mackey's course on the bench during the regpnt prolonged term of court. No cases have been appealed. SENATOR TIHUIIMAN PILAYEI) a con - spicuous part in the reform Legis lature of Congress last session, and his friends are writing him up for the Presidency. He is a sound man. CONOIIESSMAN IEWITT and Watter son of the Courier-Journal are calling each other all sorts of bad names. Watterson attributes the Electoral Commission to the cow ardice of Hewitt, and has the bad faith in leading Democrats to sup pose that Tilden favored the scheme, when in reality he bitterly opposed it. Hewitt denies the charge, and Watterson proposes an investiga tion. CHARGES OF MALFEASANCE in OfiTee have been pre ferred against Super - intendent Parnele by Gen. Thoinp son Earle, one of the directors of the Penitentiary. The board of Directors at a meeting did not sus tain the charge. The matter should be thoroughly investigated. If Parmele's skirts are not clear he should be turned out. If he is un justly accused, the public should be satisfied of the fact. A VERY VOLUBLE WOMAN bearing the euphonious name of Jenks has testified before the Potter Commit tee that she dictated the celebrated letter signed by John Sherman promising to reward Anderson if he aided the Radical count in Louisiana. Her story that Sher-. man knew nothing of the letter is offset by his failure to deny that he had written it. Organized Outrages. Since the close of the war, the South has been the theatre of a continuous system of officiazl brigandage. Political pimps and God-forsaken bummers, in the guise of Federal marshals and revenue detectives have run riot, levying blackmail, laying plots to entrap innocent men, invading the sanctity of private dwellings, drag ging inoffensive citizens from their homes, and throwing them into prison without a shadow of proof or vestige of authority, and even, in some instances, going so far as to shed innocent blood. At first, under the shadow of the most grievous tyramny and oppression on the part of the Federal govern mnent, th-ey pursued their profitable and ploeaant profession without let or hindrance. As public opinion broke the back of the conspiracy at Washington, the minor villains were occasionally arrested for some of their most flagrant niiedeeds, but they have always suceceeded in having their cases transferred to the United States Courts and thereby -escaping scot-free. A long series of outrages perpetrated with impunity has made them still more bold; and having no longer the power to swear away the liberties of decent men on political grounds, they have transferred the scene of their operations to the mountainm.country and against the alleged distillers of illicit whiskey. This region is settled by a race of simple and ignorant people who live entirely within themselves, and who, finding no other market for their crops, turn their attention to distilling, a branch of industry that was pursued by their fathers and their fathers' fathers. Unable to penetrate the mazes of the revenue law, whose complications would defy the'subtle intellect of a Phila.; delphia lawyer, these people sooetimes . omt violations l'hon. the revenue detectives appeatr 3>n the scone, smash up the 5,1i , >r' Capture theml and r'-: . them can shares as silent partilrs, ani: in Eadclition steal wagons, household goods, and even poultry, besides subjoeting the pisoi( , to cruelty ttnd their families to grievous in dignities. The isolated cotulitiu I' of the region thus raided prevents general knowledge of these lawless acts; or when the truth is knlown it is justified by tlowing accounts of dlesperatu encounters wit' orgaciz. ed outlaws. But the recent oitn1ige per petrated by those officials was so) gross, so unprovoked, as to e';li for speedy retiibution. Not, loung since, a party of theo choice spirits surrounded a house in the mountains believed to be a hiding place of Redniond, the so-called outlaw. A man was seen to conie to the door, when, withoutt waiting for any identification, they shot hi.a down in his tracks. On sein that it was not ltculohl, but, a young mnltu nine1od Ladd, Wlhu had been tinurl'deried, one of theo 1i1ur derets coully rea:l:rk,'d th;a t th thing was done and it was too late ] tJ rectify the mistake. Then the assat,sills, fe:r"ing just r t ribm)" i,n. fled precipitately to Greenville and delivered thetnsehes up,. wit h t lie intention of havinlg the. lselves taken trom the State auth 14)ritic.. and acquitted in the Federal c1urt. But the blood of the ntltulderod Ladd cries aloud for venoa , and every attempt to deieat jl1stui-c by removing the trial frot thio St:te courts sltoiild be resisted to the last extretnity. It is high time that these outrages should ce,ase. And the spectacle f of-in of those imm'derers danglin at the (1nd of a rope, would do much to restore the confidence of time people in the supremacy of thie law. The News and 'ourier with its accustomed enterpriso has sent a special correspondent to the scene of the outrages, and his revelations will do much to prevent a recnr rence of such high--handud criimes in the future.
