CHARLESTON, January 7.-Governor
Scott, responding to an inquiry why milf
gary force had not been employed in certain
counties, says, substantially, that he can
hardly venture to pronounce the counties

been reported as III /. condition OF lnsur-
gectiOn.
In my opinion the civil law OF the state
ought to be sufficient to suppress disorders.
He can not contemplate the use OF an
armed force TO punish individual violations
Of law, in time OF profound peace, and calls
the attention of the Legislature to the fact
chat all the cases of reported violence are
individual, and that none have assumed the
character of public combinations against
law. and they are within the regular Juris-
sliction Of the criminal courts.
