GREEN PoNn, September 11.-Thc
store Of Mr.. Il. II. Roberts, nt the
Encsis Cross Roads, was burned
last night. The store and its con
tents were entirely consumed. The
fire was an act Of inccndiarism.
The rioters have again com.
mcnccd operations to day on tho
Ashcpoo and Combahcc. They
gathered up their forces and, visit
ing the several plantations, whipped
and beat several laborcrs All work
has, in consequence, been suspended.
The white rifle club has been order
cd out, but will not interfere unless
called upon by the Sheriff or State
Constable. There is feeling of
uncasinoss in all tho surrounding
country, as the rioters have things
all their own way.-Ne'cs a,,d Cou-

Counting Without Their Host.

General Shermau's order to til,
commanding officers of the arm,
stationed i'll the Southern States
covering tho Attorney Generals
circular Of instructions 20 marshals
is evidently meant to p;,t them upol
Their guard. The general sentiment
of the army officers is rcpugnant t,
the sort Of duty that Grant, Taft
and Cameron would impose upon
them. 1t is known that they pro
test vigorously in private way
against this police service. Sherman
has no love for the South, but he
has q strong army feeling and
strong dislike of the Washington
mtcrmcddlers with it. He has an
nounccd that the order addressed tc
an officer must be II proper one, and
that the officer is himself to iulmc
whether it is comp0 iblc with his
military duties. II deemed by him
not compatible, he is not to obey it.
The general Judgment in the army
is that the United States marshals
cannot call upon them except in case
OF riot, where it is absolutely ncces..
sary to protect the peace. 1t is the
consciousness Of this feeling that
has inspired the reserve which we
sec i'll General Shcrmnn's order.
We do not believe that IL dozen
uliases from Grant, and rs many
1inc-spun arguments Of the Attorney
