A delegation Of citizens from Green

A delegation OF citizens from Green
vile called Oh Governor Scott, yesterday,
to have reward offered for the arrest of
the incendiaries who have been infest-
ing that town. Colonel Irvine, MFR.
Robert Mckay, T. @. Cover. Esq, and
Mr.. J. G. Bailey, Of the Greenville En-
terprise, were the committee of citizens.
There have been eight or ten incendiary
fires in Greenville within the past two
weeks, mostly confined to stables. The
Governor promised to offer a reward of
$500 for the apprehension of the incen-
diaries, which, with an additional reward
of an equal amount offered by the town
authorities. will, it is hoped, lead to the
detection and punishment of the guilty
parties.
Mr. P. Cantwell, some time since, fell
a victim to the game which is being
practiced upon onr citizens by the
United States detectives. It appears
that, although lie had emptied the un-
stamped cigar box of it's contents-thus
evading any responsibility therefor-and
had laid the box aside, yet he and the
box were seized, and he was released
after trip to Charleston and the pay
ment OF about 800. Mr.. Thompson
Earle was compelled to pny similar
sum for like offence, although his inno-
cence of any wrong doing in the pre-
misses was proven By the testimony Of
several credible witnesses.
