It is gratifying to note the fact that many of the officers and men coniposing thoso commands were opposod to the dispensarylaw, but they did not allow political priju dice to seduce then from the dis charge of thoir duty. The first company reached Col umbia at 4 o'clock Saturday even ing; others came in during the night, and by Sunday evening. 19 companties, numbering 475 men, had reached the city. Early Sat urday I had telegraphed to the sheriffs of Florence and Darling ton counties to swear in posse comitatus, and find the constables and afford them protection. The sheriff of Darliigton telegraphed me that he was powerloss, and that nothing but troops could keep the peace and restore ordor. During - Friday night a mob had broken into and destroyed or stolen over half tho stock in the dispensary at Florence, belonging to the State, and a similar mob, or some of the same, had looted the (ispeinsary at Ti mmonville. Fooling that the emergency was oich that I could afford to take Mnuces, and knowing the ugly of the citizens of this city ons wero being lashed 'q utterances of the 1 had accessible volunteers 'ome to ifnient mf its efforts to restore peace' and enforece respect for the law. During ~~iturday night and Sun. Giay thfese volunteers, who had left timir busliness at a moment's no tice, to hurry to the rendezvous, came pouring in on every train; while notices by wire of hundreds, andI even thousands, who were readly to respond, were received by Monday morning. I had to coun termandl the orders Monday morn ing, and decline any further as sistance, but about three hundred K ~ came in dur~ing Sunday and Sun day night. All of the troops and volunteers as fast as they. reached the city, *were marched inside the Peniten .Siary walls and laced under the strictest discipline, Gen. R. N. Richbourg, who had been given command, and who deserves great praise for his prompt action and soldiery bearing throughout the trying crisis. did all that was pos.. * ~ sible for their comfort. Col.

And but for the appliances fir ooing which thel cult, to see how I he men couldl have been fed. Sunday Imorning the news from the scene of the disturbance was still of the most disquieting na ture. The constables were said to be surrounded; some of them were ; said to have .i~i'killed, and it e htit was the fixed urpose o~f the Darlington mob t~o lyndh all of them, while armed bodies of citizers from Florence and Sumter .were reported guard Severy r'oad to p'rbyont their escape ..,ing Gen Farley, having failed to get ~. ifoops in.~harleston, dismissed K..Cpt.

I cannot d go into details of the military op orations, or rather the. occupation of Darlington and of Florence f( during the five succeeding days. By Monday night all of the con- w stables had been heard from and 6 were safe. This relieved my own and the public suspense very much i and after keeping the troops at the two points until the coroner's in- a quest had been held, which the constables attended in order to y testify, and having had a confer- a once with some of the leading citi zone of the town of Darlington, from whom satisfactory assu'ances were received, the commanding general advised me that peace and order were restored, and troops were ordered home, being brought to Columbia before they were dis missed. They were dismissed on April 7, having been paid off in full. The volunteers and other e cempanies which had reached the c city after the departure of the ti troops for Darlington on Sunday evening had previously been paid off, and returned to their homes on Tuesday. The total cost for I transportation, subsistance and w compensation of the troops for the entiro affair, including inter est till January 1 on the money, which I borrowed from the Caro. ' lina National Bank, will be $13, 897,75. The vouchers and all the 2 papers are in the hand of the P Comptroller General, and provis- ( ion will have to be made in the P next appropriation bill to pay this sum, to relieve me and the gentle- - men who indorsod my personal e obligation, which was given for n the money. A strenious effort has been 9 made by the newspapers which o represent the anti dispensary ele. y mont to show that there was no need for the expenditure of this money, and that there was no need of sending the troops to Darling ton at all. Falsehoods have been publishod without nnmber, aind overy manner of fatuous or speci oue argument has been used to h olster up the position. But I do nct hesitate to say that it is the host tpent money that has over gono through my hands as Govern or: and the demonstration which was made that South Carolina had Governor who had the will while he had the moral and physical basking of enough lovers of law and order, to repress lawlessness and enforce resp~ect and evidence to the inw, has boon and will be worth to the State a thousand times what it cost. Remember that the officers of the State, bear ing the commission of the chief magistrate and in the discharge of their duty, had been attacked seemingly by premediation. They wore being hunted like wild beasts after the conflict, for the purpose of lynching. If our bond are at a premium and capital not afraid to~ seek in. vestment in South Carolina it is not because the militia of Charles ton, Columbia and other towns re fused to obey the orders of the Governor, but because the militia of Sprtanburg, Greenville, Edge field and other counties responded I at a moment's notice to the call of the State. It is because the d sturdy farmers, mechaaics, clerks, I Merchants-men of every calling -dropped everything and hasten- I od to the Capital to sustain the 6 Government they had chosen and to uphold the law that their rep. resentatives had enacted. r [Continued on secondl page.] Mr'.
