DIsBANDING OF THE FOURTH BRIGADE.
Charleston, S. c., April 6-The scene
OF military operations in the dispensary
war was to-day transferred to Charleston,
When j. Gary Watts, the assistant adiu-
tant general of the state, arrived here
armed with instructions from Gov. Till
man to disarm and disband the Fourth
brigade South Carolina volunteer troops.
Inc charges are that the brigade refused
TO obey the governors orders and repair
10 Darlington to suppress the iusurrec-
tlon. The assistant adjutant gen
eral came down on special
train and his instructions are to
take all the arms and accoutrements
back to Columbia with him. He called
upon Gen. Huguenin, the commanding
oAicer of the brigade, and issued his or
ders. There was no complaint. The COM
manding general issued an order direct
up to the assistant adiutant general all
the property of the state in their posses
sion, and this order. it is expected, will
be obeyed by all the commands The
process of collecting the arms will begin
tomorrow.

sued to them by the state. A good many of
them have rifles and cannon which they
bought and paid for themselves. This is
notably the case with the German Artil-
Iery which has battery of five guns and
equipments. There seems TO be no fear
that the companies of the Fourth brigade
will disband. From 1871 to 1876,
they existed as rife clubs, while the ne
groes monOpoliZed the militia of the
state. The riff e clubs will probably be
reorganized and the manufacturers of
military rifles will find good market in
this city for some time to come.
The dispensary spies having given their
evidence at the inquest in Darlington,
are daily expected here. 1t is under
stood that they will resume their high
handed and tyrannical raiding, Mayor
Ffcken is in Columbia in conference with
the governor as TO the gubernatOrial con-
troll of the police. Some queer complica-
tions are expected to arise out of this
latest move.
FLOYD GOES NORTH.

whose fight with Rogers in Darlington
to-day a week ago nearly precipitated
civil war in South Carolina, was in Char
lotte to-day. He escaped to Marven and
Rockingham, this state, after thetfght

After the shooting at the Darlington
depot began, Floyd fell on his face. pre-
tending to be dead He was trampled on
and trod upon by the surging crowd as he
lay there. A scar on his head to-day
showed where a boot had left its impress

affair, but said the trouble with the hotel
clerk, Rogers, was brought on by ref

the spies, and in the quarrel Mcl4endon
took his part. Floyd left tonight, going
