A NEW YORK firm advertises in the AaE- HERALD that 1t will give $500 for a complete set of Alabama Reports. We learn on en- quiry that there are but few sets In exist ence, and that the set has been sold very high. Several lawyers, formerly residents of Alabama, have moved out of the State and carried their sets with them, thus further curtailing the number in the State. Alabama Reports rank high among the legal fraternity of the land, and are gener- ously copied in the American Encyclopedia of Law.

CHARLESTON LIGHT INFANTRY.
Its Injunction Suit Against Til'man's TAX
ing Away Its Arms.

BALTIMORE, MD. September 10.-The
South Carolina dispensary riots OF last
March were discussed in the United States
Circuit Court here to-day before Judge
Golf The matter came up In the form Of
an injunction suit TO prevent Governor
Tillman or any State officer under him
taking possession of the arms and ac-
coutrements of the Washington Light In
fantry Company, of Charleston, $. c. 1t
Will be recalled that when Governor TILL
mans raiders passed the line OF offensive
ness drawn by the citizens of Darling
ton and other towns they were attacked.
a number Of the constables killed, and
the rest put to flight. The Governor then
ordered several companies of militia to
proceed TO the scene of the uprising ana
restore order and the gubernatorial au-
thority. Among the companies ordered
out was the Washington Light Infantry.
Its members fatty refused to take up
arms against fellow-citizens who, they
said. had simply resented the insulting
officiousness of dispensary officers. Gov
ernor Tillman was highly incensed, ana
ordered the company TO surrender us
arms. This order was also disobeyed,
and an appeal TO the courts was made.
The Charleston company is represented
by Theodore 8. Barker and j. L. Bryan.
Attorney General Buchanan appeared for
Governor Tillman.
The lawyers for the company claim tnat
the arms were secured for the company
by special act of Congress and held in
undisputed possession for over sixteen
years; that they were issued for no other
purpose than the use of the company;
that the seizure of them by the Governor
would be Illegal, as it would be diver
sion of them to purpose not authorized
by the act of Congress under which they
were issued.
Attorney General Buchanan said or the
States case: I'VE believe that the Gov
ernor has the right to discipline the mill
tia of the State whenever he feels like 1t.
and that the United States has no right
TO interfere. We are not trying to deprive
sthis company of its arms for all time,
but are doing 1t simply TO teach 1t les
son. Even IL We did want 10 disband the
company and take its arms away from
IT. what right has the United states to
say that we should not? If II had any,
we would soon have a nice state of af-
fairs There would be a State militia and
one belonging TO the government. The
State supports it's militia, and 1t has the
right TO do what 1t pleases with it,"
