at the High School, and 1912º on the river | lieved from the command of the District bank.

Jan. 1-Southern Bank of Ky. notifies stockholders that it is ready to pay in gold a first payment of seventy-five per cent. of their stock, the first step toward winding up its affairs.

Jan. 4-Gov. Bramlette issues a proc- lamation very severe toward rebel sym- pathizers, proposing to hold them person- ally responsible for all guerrilla raids, and charging them with knowledge of and with thereby aiding and abetting their outrages. He "requests the various mili- tary commandants in the State, in every instance where a loyal citizen is taken off by bands of guerrillas, to immediately arrest at least five of the most prominent and active rebel sympathizers in the vicinity of such outrage for every loyal man taken by guerrillas. These sympa- thizers should be held as hostages for the safe and speedy return of the loyal citi- zens. Where there are disloyal relatives of guerrillas, they should be the chief sufferers. Let them learn that if they refuse to exert themselves actively for the assistance and protection of the loyal, they must expect to reap the just fruits of their complicity with the enemies of our State and people." [It is the sworn gen- eral duty of the Governor " to take care that the laws be faithfully executed." If the persons who are the objects of this denunciation and proposed summary pun- ishment offend against the laws, it is his duty to see the laws faithfully executed ; if they be innocent of crime, the Governor violates his duty in directing their arrest at all. The proclamation delegates an assumed absolute power over the personal liberty of citizens to irresponsible military officers, and leaves them to select their victims ; it provides no form of trial, re- quires no proof of guilt, indicates no re- dress nor relief, establishes no safeguards against personal vindictiveness and petty tyranny. It is a sad state of things that suggests, and sadder still that tolerates, such unwarrantable assumptions of exec- ative power.]

S. army, Gov. Bramlette says: "No such recruiting will be tolerated here. Sum- mary justice will be inflicted upon any who attempt such unlawful purpose." In his letter of Dec. 14, to Capt. Cahill, he says Ky. will furnish white men to fill the call upon her for more troops; will not enlist colored men, nor "permit any state which is unwilling to meet the measure of duty by contributing its quota from its own population, to shelter from duty behind the frce negro population of Ky."

Jan. 13-Debate in the U. S. senate upon Henry Wilson's (of Mass.) resolu- tion to expel Garret Davis, of Ky., for using treasonable language in some reso- lutions offered.

March 10-Col. Frank Wolford, upon being presented by citizens of Fayette co. with a splendid sword, sash, pistols and spurs, at Lexington, makes a political speech-in which he denounces the order for enrollment of negroes in Ky. as " un- constitutional, unjust, another of a series of startling usurpations ;" " it is the duty of the people of Ky. to resist it as a vio- lation of their guaranteed rights ;" "the people of Ky. did not want to keep step to the ' music of the Union,' alongside of negro soldiers-it was an insult and a degradation for which their free and manly spirits were not prepared; while it involved an infraction of the rights of the state, which it was the duty of the gov- ernor-under his oath to support the con- stitution and see the laws faithfully exe- cuted-to resist with all the constitutional power of the Commonwealth."

Breckinridge said " he was an emancipationist, although a large slaveholder ; he had two sons in the Union army and two in the rebel army, and would not have them killed for the value of all the slave property in the world; there were other interests in Ky .; he had been called to Frankfort to consult with Gov. Bramlette about the course to be pursued in reference to the enrollment of slaves here ; the state officers were de - termined to obey, as they were bound to do, the laws passed and orders issued upon that subjeet ; he had seen the proclama- tion which had done so much to quiet the public apprehension issued, and that, too, when the governor had already prepared a different one ; he was bound, as a gentle- man, to support that proclamation, al- though it did not exactly suit him ; it an- swered, however, a good purpose ; it foiled one part of the scheme to bloodily baptize Ky. into the Southern Confederacy ; this scheme he understood to embrace an emeute of the Ky. troops in consequence of Wolford's arrest, and a general rising in the state, strengthened by a cotem- poraneous invasion by a portion of the rebel army ; the conspiracy-of whosc ex- istence the proof was overwhelmingly strong-had failed, so far as the defection of Ky. soldiers and the uprising of the people was concerned."
