GOV. 1ILLMAN ACTS oNTHE REPORT
OF THE MILITARY COURT.

Nearly All su,pended-.The Fourth Bri.
Rade, Except Two Captains, Goes Into
tho Soup au Last-so With All the
Rest.
COLUMBIA, s. c., Oct. 11.-GovernoI
Tillman has at last taken action upon
the report of the military court of in
qairy, which he appointed to investi'
gate the conduct Of the military com
panies of the State, that refused to re-
spond to his orders to 60 to Darlington
last March. He has suspended until
further orders from the commando
chief" the commanding general and
staff and all tbe officers and men of the
companies comprising the Fourth Bri.
gsde, except Capt. Cogswell and Ander.
son.
He has treated IN like manner all the
officers and men of the companies In
the First and Second Regiments of
militia, which were ordered out, with
the single exception of Capt. Jos. <.
Alston, of the Richland Volunteers, OF
this city.
Thus 1t is seen that out of all the
military men, whose conduct was in
vestigsted by the military court, only
these three captains are left occupying
the same status as before the trouble.
It will be remembered that the New
berry Rifles and the Eiisto Rifles like.
wise got into trouble, but their cases
were disposed Of by special order, before
the court was appointed.
The colonels of the first and second
regiments and their staff officers were
not ordered out, and hence they are
unaffected.
The wording of the Governors order
issued yesterday is peculiar. Reading
1t as 1t stands, one could not say what
the future held for the companies
affected. They are simply suspended.
1t W as generally thought that Governor
Tillman's term being about to expire,
he would dispose Of the matter In such
q way as to remove all uncertainty as
to the status of the companies. 1t
seems therefore that he has suspended
them for the purpose of allowing his
successor to finally dispose of the cases.
II be leaves them suspended, somebody
will have to cut them dUwn or do some
thing with them, and the next Cover
nor will be the only man with the
power to do SO.
Governor Tillm an took up the matter
yesterday aud was in consultation
quite long time with the Attorney
General and Assistant Adjutant Cen
eral Waits. Last evening he issued
the following order:
