Redmond was tbe occasion of the re

f charges fori illicit distillation, assaults

their little armsran fromj:2(fd
cents: ' Thev made enouerh Wneat.Wu
ton, tobacco, sorffcum, and vegetables
for home consumption." Their general
crop was corn. . xhis -was too bulky to
haul from their little coves acroiss
the ridgea, along the bridle
paths which 5 served for pub-
lic roads. I he government did
not and could not, provide them with
highways. They were obliged, therefore,
to reduce the bulk: of their marketable
produce in order.. to, sell it and obtain
supplies "other thin . those raised Sat
home. , Each family, as far as the
memory of man runs back, had its lit
tle copper still in which each winter
they distilled their corn into whiskey.
The pure freestone water from
the granite hills, with the white fiipt
corn mash, thus made the purest
liquor t sold in America. This was
barrelled up, and often rolled by hand
for miles down the decliyities of the
mountains until they came to the
market roads. Thence it was either
peddled in wagons or sold in bulk at
tbe various county towns of the State.
One hundred dollars a the cash result
of a year's labor was an aristocratic
income among these primitiye people.
uunng tne war the United States
government saw proper to impose1 a
heavy tax upon distillers. Thirty dol
lars was assessed upon the manufac
ture of each still. One hundred dol
lars was demanded as a license feeand
nve hundred dollars for a meter or
three dollars a day for a ganger, be
sides one dollar on each gallon distill
ed. None but large manufactories
could comply with these reauire-
ments, and it drove all the small dis
tillers out of the field or into illicit dis
tillation. After the war, when the mountain-
eers returned home, they resumed their
old mode of life. Many of them never
heard of the revenue laws until .they
were. arrested and brought before a
United States Commissioner. When
they , had - served out their sentences
and returned home once.rmore, they
found that the Radical State govern
ment had learned the way to make
them contribute to its support. They
were forced to work, and yet restrained
from the only work they could do by
the Federal government. Driven
by actual necessity, very many of them
continued their business. This gave
continual employment to the revenue
omcers, who received from the govern
ment large rewards from $50 to $250
for each conviction. The convicts
were too poor to pay. It was a serious
annoyance-to them to be lodged in
jails, separated from their families, and
to lose their stock of whiskey and
tools. The revenue officers were gen
erally men identified with the State
Republican party. In the discharge jof
their duties they were exacting, tyran
nical, and often cruel. The conse
quence was an inveterate hatred be
tween them and the victims. Instead
of being' called "internal," they were
styled '"infernal revenue officers," and
to cheat them in anyway was consider
ed a duty resting upon each loyal
mountaineer.
When young Ladd was killed by
mistake, under circumstances which
would not have justified the killing of
Redmond, for whom he was mistaken,
a howl of indignation rose from the
Blue Ridge which drove the murderer
to take refuge in .Greenville jail for fear
of summary vengeance.
it la stated that Ubiet Justice Wane,
Circuit Judge Bond, and District Judge
Bryan will hold the court before which,
he is to be tried. But as there is no
statute againsts murder tbe trial will
be a farce. The prisoner cannot again
be tried in a State court, and the blood
of young Ladd will cry in vain from
the lintels of his door posts on the
Blue liidge Mountains.
Last week the two Hinkles, beard
less boys, who we're with Redmond
when he' raided the revenue officers,
recaptured the property they had
taken, from him, and released a prison
er, were tried and convicted in the dis
trict court at Greenville. It was supposed
that Redmond would come forward
and surrender himself for trial along
with the Hinkle boys; but he did
not come. It is not likely that he will
now yoluntarily surrender to a govern
ment which punishes his friends and
protects their murderers, Nor is it
likely that this eourse will paciiy tne
mountaineers. Gov Hampton has been
their friendly summer neighbor , for
years, and his conservative advice to
them will have weight.

.. . i Strange Story from Philadelphia, ' ;
A Philadelphian tells a rather queer
story. Several years ago a neighbor's
wife was found dead, with her throat
cut from ear to ear. A poor, paralytic
vagrant, to whom she had been a gen
erous friend, was convicted upon pure
ly circumstantial evidence and hanged.'
Between the sentence and the hanging
this gentleman frequently visited the
unfortunate man; became convinced
of bis innocence, and tried to save him
One day, after it became plain there
was no longer hope for pardon, the
thought occurred to him that it would
be no harm to save the victim from a
dreadful death by giving him chloro
form or strychnine. It was but an in
stant's reflection, and was dismissed at
once with; horror. The man was hang
ed, protesting his innocence to the last.
Now come8lhe extraordinary sequel.
Several years passed. He was sitting
in a parlor at the Astor House, and a
lady, very elegant and of middle age,
sitting near, seemed to be gazing past
him through the window. He moved
to j give her a better view, when she
said, "Do not let me disturb vou.
There is a spirit there ; a man who was
executed for murder in your city ; you
visited h?m in prison. His name was
." " I remember," said the gen
tleman. " What has he to say to me ?"
"He says he was innocent of that
crime,' though guilty of others deserv
ing punishment." " Can he repeat ahy
part of our talk ?" "Do you remem
ber," said the medium, ,ea thought Vou
had while in prison ? For a moment
you half resolved to give, him chloro
form or strychnine to put him out of
his misery." He thanked the lady, and
wen immediately to ine cierx, rrom
whom he learned that she' had iust ar
rived from Oregon and would leave bn
the next Boston - train. He declares
most positively that he had never spo
ken of the impulse to man or womani:
