CHARLESTON, January 26.-Judge I.
J. Mackey, Republican, who was sent by

the recent troubles in Edgeteld county,
has made a report in which he lays the
blame chiefly upon the gross abuses in
the county government. He declares
no English speaking people havel
been subjected to like infiictlon
since the SaXon's wore the
Norman collar. He says the officers of
the colored militia have been in the habit
of calling out their men whenever per-
sonal quarrel arose between the white and
colored men, and this, in spite of the fact
that the State constitution gives the
Governor alone the power to call out the
militia. He recommends the immediate
disbandment and disarming ofthe militia.
