in reply, that part Of tho rulnor is true, and
part Of tho runor = false, however good and
crinon as TO what would do called out BY the United
States authorities believing Il to be time enough 70 do
when required The duty Of loyal citizen q too plain
when his service may be legally required--that is 10
obey did say no viewer, being questioned a. what
would do called out by the Govt rnor that bis order

THE GOVERNOR pIsBANps TIE UNION GUARDS
1t will be by telegraph elsewhere that Gov. RAN
dali has seen ht to disband the Union Guards, Capt Bar
ry OF this city, revokDg the commission Of Capt Barry,
and Acjuant General Swain demands the uniforms and
all other property In the hands OF the company belonging
10 the State This strikes decidedly Independent
proceeding II u done because Capt. Barry said he
would obey government orders before be would those Il
the State IN the Booth case.
UNION
We understand that the officers OF the OF the mill
ary companies IN the city have talked OF holding meet
ing relative 70 tho disbandonment Of the Union Guards
by Governor Randall is be regrssted that the Co.
vernon saw d. TO take such step. The Guards are %
fine q body Of men almost any military company In
the State, and Capt Barry gentleman education
and experience IN military matters having pursued re
gular courAe 1t West Point would reflect honor upon
any militia the Governors decision could be revoked
We are certain would give universal satisfaction for
Capt Is held In high esteem BY all who know him. II
singular that his company alone should have been SIN
gea ont for such an inquiry that made by Adjutant
General Swain. Why was not the same question asKcd
Of AL the other companies, the Light Guard &cf Il does
not look right 10 us.
