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.
