turning homo.

clamation declaring that tho counties
Of Darlington and Florence are no

TO Reorsanizc tho militia.
The gov"rnor is making arrange
ments for an entire reorganization of
the State militia, declaring that he
would prefer twenty-five companies

reliable. Assistant Adjutant- General

A FUSS In tho Family.
Charleston, S. c., April Sit now
transpires that Gov. Tillman's official
family is most wocfully divided in re-
gard to his course in calling out tho
soldiers and issuing his recent pro-
elnmation. Every ono of toe cabinet
except, perhaps, MIR. Mayfcld, depre-
Gates his conduct, and several Of them
are outspoken in their denunciation
Of Tillman's tyranny. This informa.
ton comes direct, and it is true. In
addition to this, Secretary of State j.
l.. Tindall, is incensed because Till
man issued the police proclamation,
and had his clerk sign it while he
tthe Secretary of State) was in Char
lesion, az it is well known nll procla-
nations are signed thus: 'B. Il. Till.
man, Governor; by the Governor.
}. l.. Tindall, Secretary of State"
1t is not mel o form, but the sec.
rotary must sign his own name and
ailix the great seal of the State to tho
document issued. When the talk of
Iillmnn's issuing his police procluma-
ton tilst began, Secretary Tindall
expressed the NEST nnmistakable dis.
approval of the scheme, and after the
proclamation VAS issued Secretary
Tindall stated to an entirely respon,
sible gentleman in Charleston that he
mad gwen no one any permission to
sign his name, and that his chief
clerk had been given explicit orders
not to affix the great seal of the State
except i'll his (the sccretary's) pres.
cnco.
1t is no wonder, therefore, that
Secretary Tiudnll WAS amazed t. read
the proclamation in the News and
Courier: with his own name appended
Verdict Rendered.
Darlington, S. c., April S, via Flor
cnce-Thc coroner's jury has rendered
its verdict to hold McLendon for the
