REBUTTAL TESTIMONY.
Relatives of Miss Pollard Give Evil
dence In Her EaNOr.


The first witness called by the plaintiffs
attorneys in rebuttal was DIT. William A.
Cowan, young man who is superintendent
of the Western Asylum in Plttsburg He
announced himself as the first cousin OF
Miss Pollard on her mothers side.
As soon as Mr. Carlisle asked whether
the plaintiff had been member Of his
family, from 1876 to 1880. Mr. Shelby OBJ
jected, arguing that such testimony was
not properly rebuttaI He was reminded by
Mr.. Carlisle of the deposition OF Mrs. Mil
Ter, nee Shinglebower, who had testified
that Miss Pollard had lived in Kentucky
in the years 1877 and 1878. and had COM
mitted certain improper acts in her sight
Mr. Wilson also cast reflections upon the
character of Mrs. Miller. declaring her
deposition TO be an infamous lie.
In overruing the objection Judge Brad
ley remarked that "the defendant put on
the stand an Infamous woman, L say in
famous, advisedly, from her own testi-
mony." Continuing, the Judge referred to
the testimony of Mrs. Miller as disgusting
to the fact that she had become a woman
OF the town at the age Of fourteen, and
said the plaintiff should be allowed TO
purge herself of the contamination which
would inevitably come from association
with such woman. He also spoke OF the
contention of the defense that Miss Pol
lard could not disprove the affidavit by the
surest means. by showing that she was not
at the place where the specific acts OF i'm
morality were said TO have been committed
DR.. Cowan testified that Miss Pollard had
been a member Of his family continuously
from August 1876 TO 1850. and had attended
school with his sisters most OF the time.
The cross-examination showed that he had
made a trip West i'm 1876 and another in
1873 but he was certain that the plaintir
had not been away from Pittsburg at those
times The testimony Of Mile Shingle-
bower had been that Miss Pollard was liv-
ing I'm 1877 and 1875 five miles from LeNing-
ton. KY During the legal arguments
which had preceded the testimony, Miss
Pollard, who had been engaged for half
an hour In taking notes, left the court
room.
Another relative OF the plaintiff, Charles
Sawyer. testified that he had lived i'm the
same house (Aunt Keene's, near Lexing-
tom, with Miss Pollard from 1880 TO lSSS.
and that in all that time the plaintiff had
not been from home over night, except for
a period of ten days I'm lSS2. when she was
visiting at uncle's in GuthernburR.

GOV. TILLMAN'S LAW
RumOr that 1t Will Be Killed by
the State Supreme Court.
An Opinion Said to Have Been Signed
Declaring the Dispensary Act In
yalid-The Militia Recalled.

COLUMBIA. S. c., April 5.-A dispatch
from Darlington to the Columbia state
says that an opinion In the dispensary
cases has been drawn uD and signed by
Supreme Justices McIver and McGown,
and has been sent to Justice Pope, in
whose hands it remains. The State says
that the opinion declares the act unconsti-
tutional, but whether in whole or in part
II S not ascertained The States corre-
spondent says the news came to him from
three sources, through intelligent men who
have special means for information, and
he relies upon it as confidently though
he had himself inspected the document
ferred to. 1t has further stated that the
decision has been in Justice Pope's hands
for the past three weeks.
Darlington and Florence are no longer
in insurrection, and tomorrow the State
troops will evacuate those now famous
localities and proceed to this city to re-
ceive the well done of Governor Tillman,
together with their S.5O per day. The Gov
ernor tonight issued a proclamation stat
ing that, Whereas, the commanding gen.
eral has just informed him that the insur-
gents have dispersed, and that peace and
order are restored, and that the civil au-
thorities now able to uphold and en-
force the law" he accordingly declares
that in the counties of Darlington and
Florence there is no longer insurrection,
and the civil status is hereby restored
Governor Tillman is already beginning to
reorganize the State militia. Only eighteen
companies responded TO his call TO go TO
Darlington, and he intimates that there
will be a series of court martials. Officers
will proceed to Charleston tomorrow to
collect all the State arms and accoutre-
ments there and bring them TO the State
armory here. Similar action viii probably
be taken all over the State.
The coroners jury at Darlington rem
dered a verdict holding McLendon for the
killing Of NormOnt, Cain for the killing
of Redmond 1t also reported that Redmond
killed Pepper. The military court will first
submit its report TO Governor Tllman, but
IL is understood to concur in the facts
they have been published. The coroner is
now making out the commitments for the
two men.
Three constables arrived in Darlington
to-day. They were recognized by the citi-
Zens, but as soon as the fact was reported
to General Richbourg they were escorted
towards North Carolina a precautionary
measure. The embargo on the Western
Union a that place has not yet been raised,
and all kilograms still have to be sub
mitted for inspection. A squad of men
guards the entrance to the office, and no
news dispatches are received.

Trouble in TiIIman,s Cabinet.

CHARLESTON, S. c., April 5.-There
seems to be trouble in Governor Tilman's
official family on the subject of the recent
tactics of the Governor. Every one of the
cabinet, except perhaps Mr.. Mayfield, depre-
Gates his conduct, and several of them are
outspoken in their denunciation Of Till
mans tyranny" This information comes
direct and is true. In addition to this, Sec
retary Of State j. +. Tindall is incensed
because Tillman issued the police proc
lamation and had his name signed to it
while he Cthe Secretary of State) was in
Charleston. AS is well known, all proc
lamations are signed thus: "B. r. Tillman,
Governor. BY the Governor: j. L. TindaIl
Secretary Of State" 1t is not a mere form.
but the Secretary of State must sign his
own name and affiX the great seal OF the
State TO the document issued. When the
talk of T1llman's issuing his police proc
lamation first began Secretary Tfndall ex-
pressed the most unmistakable disapproVal
of the scheme, and after the proclamation
was issued Secretary Tindall stated to an
entirely responsible gentleman in Charles
ton that he had given no one permission to
'sign his name and that his chief clerk had
been given explicit orders not 20 aifix the
great seal Of the State except in his uhe
Secretary 50 presence.
