FLORENCE, S. c., March 31.-The
bands of vigilantes which started out
last night in pursuit of the whisky
spies returned this afternoon, having
thoroughly beaten the bush for the gov
ernor's agents. They passed and re-
passed during the night within hailing
distance of their game, as the beaten
tracks found in the morning showed,
but all to no purpose. The spies are
still at large, and probably safely out of
the radius of excitement. All night, on
horseback and on foot, the search pro-
ceeded until overcome by WEAKNESS the
pursuers were compelled to call off
their chase. At Muldrow's mill,
about seven miles west of here.
definite information of the where
abouts of the spies was obtained. A
citizen named Williams met nine spies
and one white man, Supposed to be
their guide. in swamp there. he
brought an offer of surrender of the
spies to the vigilanteS, who, at the time,
were at the mill. The pursued men
offered to surrender their arms If given
guarantee of safe conduct for their
persons and also their liberty. The
spies, Williams says were to wait until
10 O'Clock for a reply to be brought by
him alone. Williams returned with an
agreement from the pursuers, but found
that the truce was to gain time to es-
cape. The pursued men had all gone.
Pursuit of them was delayed by lack of
organization and discipline in the band
of pursuers. Every man wanted to have
his way, so much time was lost. Guards
were finally
SET BY THE VIGILANTES.
4 Gordon was thrown around the
swamp. and men sent to beat up the
game, but daylight showed that spies
had slipped by the guard at bridge
and had made off. The remainder of
the night was spent by the vigilantes in
nearby towns. where they smashed the
state barrOoms. The dispensary at Tim
mOnsvilie was blown up with powder.
At Florence, Darlington and other
places, numbering seven in all, the
vigilantes were content to smash every
thing breakable. They made a sight
of the state dram shops. The floors
of Tillman'S barrOOms when they got
through with them were knee-deep in
broken glass and liquor was flowing in
streams through the streets. In Flor.

a strong sentiment on the part

has been one of Willingness to accept

the above fact, and ON the condition {,
of the nomination being rendered me
by united and harmonious party. IT,
seems to be settled that the people will;
not be called upon to choose between
the two administrations.

occurrences of the past few weeks, and
from opposition to me by certain promi-
