THE W. L. rs GUNS.
An Injunction Asked For Against
Gov. Tillman.

BALr1MoRE, Sept. 10.-The South
Carolina Dispensary riot of last March
was discussed io the United States
Circuit Court to-day before Judge sGoff
The matter came up in the form of an
Injunction suit to prevent Governor
Tillman or any State officer under him
from taking possession of the arms and
aocoutrements of the Washington
Light Infantry Company Of Charleston,
s. c.
It will be recalled that when Cover
nor Tillmau's Dispensary raiders passed
the line of offensiveness, drawn by the
citizens Of Darlington and other towns,
they were attacked. number of the
constables were killed and the rest put
to fight The Governor then ordered
several companies Of militia to proceed
to the scene of the uprising aud restore
order and the gubernatorial authority.
Among the companies ordered out was
the Washington Light Infantry. Its
members fatty refused to take up arms
against fellow-citisens who they said
simply resented the insulting oAicious-
ness Of Dispeusary officers. Governor
Tillmau was highly incensed and or
dered the company to surrender their
arms. This order was also disobeyed,
aud an appeal to the courts was made.
The Charleston company is represent
ed by Theodore S. Barker aud j. P. K.
Bryan. Attorney General Buchanan
appeared for Governor Tillman.
The lawyers for the company claim
that the arms we're secured by the COM
pany by special Act of Congress and
held in uodisputed possession for over
sixteen years /; that the arms were
issued for no other purpose than the
use Of the company that, therefore,
the seizure of them by the Governor
would be illegal, as it would be q diver
sion of the arms to purpose not
authorized BY the Act Of Congress
under which they were issued.
Attorney General Buchanan said of
the States case: 1--WE believe that the
Governor has the right to discipline the
militia of the State whenever he feels
like it. aud that the United States has
no right 70 interfere. We are not try
log to deprive this company Of its arms
for all time. but arc doing it simply to
teacl, them lesson. Even If We did
want to disband the company and take
its arms away from it, what right has
the United States to say that We shall
not? II it did we should soon have a
nice state of affairs There would be a
State militia aud one belonging to the
government The State SUPP orts its
militia and it has the rig ght to do with it
as it pleases.

During the week ending September l7th
the temperature continued to range above
the normal. The highest tempera-
ture occurred on the llth ou which
day 100 was recorded at Oakwood, Aiken
County, after which the weather was
somewhat cooler averaging about degrees q
day above the usual temperature. A
minimum of 81 was recorded at Liberty,

There was, during the week, possibly a
little more than the usual amount of sun
shine, with one entirely cloudy day but the
week was generally clear to partly cloudy

for outdoor work.
There was less than the usual amount of
rain, taking the State as a whole, but in
places, notably Beaufort County on the 18th,
and in the middle aud upper portions of the
State on the 10th, there were heavy rains io
the form of thunder-storms. On the night
