GOV. 1lLLMAN ACTS ON THE REPORT
OF THE MILITARY COURT.
Nearly ALI suspeOded-Ths Fourth Bri-
gade. Excerpt Two Csptains, Goes Into
the Soup at Lsst-so With All the
Rest.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. 1l.-Governor
| Tillman has at last taken action upon
the report of the military court of in
quiry, which be appointed to inVesti'
gate the conduct of the military com.
pauies of the State, that refused to re
spopd to his orders to 60 to Darlington
last March. He has suspended until
further orders from the commanders in
chief" the commanding general and
staff and all the officers add men of the
companies comprising the Fourth Bri-
gade, 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. <.
Aston, of the Richland Volunteers, Of
this city.
Thus It is seen that out of all the
military mep, whose conduct was in
vestigated 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 E iisto Rifles like
wise got into trouble, but their cases
were disposed of By specia! 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.
Tue wording of the Governors order
issued yesterday is peculiar. Reading
it as 1t stands, one could not say what
the future held for the companies
affected. They are simply suspended.
IL was generally thought that Governor
Tllman's term being about to expire,
he would dispose OF Tue mA55er 10 Sucn
way as to remove all uncertainty as
to tue status Of the companies. 1t
seems therefore that be has suspended
them for the purpose OF allowing his
successor to finally dispose OF the cases.
1t he leaves them suspended, SOMEBODY
will have to cut them down or do some
thing with them, and the next Cover
nor will be the only man with the
power to do 50.
Governor rillm IN took up the matter
Yesterday and was in consultation
quite long time with the Attorney
General and Assistant AoJutant Gen
eral Waits. Last evening he issued
the following order:
