not assume that there was such tech-

fraud as wfmld defeat recor ery by an
' innocent holder against an individual ,
but there was such a notorious
(Viod of debauchery and venality
sweeping around the Ilolden adminls-

from the press and the people of the
State that every purchaser of a North
Carolina bond took it with his eyes
open and calculated the chances of
getting double Dr treble his money

Had such securities been created
without public question, and the im
provements been prosecuted for which
they were ostensibly issued, every
consideration of law, justice and honor
would require the State to pay them,
no matter how unwisely they had been
disposed of; but when the stench of
fraud was attached to every bond, and
public notice of repudiation came from
ery fearless newspaper and honest
tax-payer of the State, the holders
cannot plead that they were innocent

We print elsewhero this morning
tho history of one of tho bloodiest of
tho revenue outrages committed in the
western part of tho State. It was
tho killing of Johnson Snider and
his on, by Rcvcnuo officers, in Ashe
county. The statement was prepared
for Hi AW Ivy a Republican who
lives in the adjoining county of John
son, Tennessee, and who la'jfally ac
quainted with all tho details of fhc case.
The tJe of blood h ho long that it is
necessarily condensed, but enough is
presented to show what lawless ruffians
execute the Federal law in the moun
tain country. Snider was o ioa res
pectable and inoffeuflivo old man,
seventy years of age. When the
arrests were attempted no warrants
were exhibited by the Revenue officers '
or pretended to be in their hands
and noithcr the old man nor his son !
were connected with illicit distilling. '

Tilt IlISTOItY OF THK CASE.
About the 10th of April, 1877, in
the county of Ashe, Ed. Ray, R. ( ).
Tatterson, Wilson, and others,
whose names I do not know, to the
number of ter. apparently consider-
ably intoxicated came to Johnson 1
Snider's house on the head waters of
the North Fork and New river, in
a0i. f .i
Ashe county, near the Tennessee line,
and asked if Johnson Snider lived
thepe, find a man by the name of
Amnion, who was there, and he
(Ammon) went to the gate with a small
pocket knife in his band cutting n
stick or whittling. Ray spoke to him
and demanded his surrender and that
he give up his knife. Ammon asked
Ray "what have you got to do with my
knife?" at which instant Ray knocked
him down with his pistol. Alex. Sni
der, a nephew of Johnson Snider was
present and came with Amnion to his
uncle's. When Ammon was knocked
down Alex, seized a maul lying near
the gate, which was taken from him by
Franklin1 Qrayspn, who was present,
who informed Sender and Ammon that
Ray was a revenue officer and told
them to have no difficulty. These two
were from Tennessee. Amnion was
an artist collecting some claims. A
moment after that Ray fi red his pistol
twice1 In the air. Ten or twenty
seconds afterwards, horses were heard
approaching rapidly, bringing nine
others to the place, some armed with
guns, others with pistols. Then the
whole party rushed to the house, some
surrounding, others penetrating. A
short time after that old roan Johnson
Snider, aged about seventy years, was
seen in the custody of two of the reve-
ime party, who brought him from his I
flwrton tfiyond the l.ouno to the .Kirch.
Next tbln neon Jiio wm Rilnbought

old mm. Bnldor ordered them to got
out of hi house. About that time
ho took hold of a chair which was In the
'porch and raised it a rout or so from
the when the revenue party
' eoinmenoed firing. One ball took
effect In iiifi Head, one in Ills neck and
one in his hUd, oanming almost Inutant
I di nth, as he reeled and full as mood
as struck.
At this time a portion of the parly
was operating in the house. Noon after
the old man fell rapid firing was heard
in tho house, as was stated by tho
, witnesses who were outside. Ray,
lia ing gone in there us soon as Snider
fell, commanded young Ham Snider,
aged 22, to come down from Uio loft,
and Snider came down. Some of the
revenue officers demanded a surrender
and Snider said : "I have surrender
ed." One of tho party said : "You are
a d d liar; yon haint ;" at the
same time he (naid to bo Wilson) Urcd
a pistol at him. Snider knocked the
pistol up mikI the ball took effect
in the loft of tho house. Hamilton
had no weapon of defence ; then he
was seized by some of tho party by
the arms and legs aud one of tire
party carrying him called for a man
by the naino of Wilson aud said:
"Ci d d n him, Bhoot him." A
pistol was placed against his side by
