FRANKFORT, KY, Sept. q, 1861.
Mr. Andrews from the House Committee on the
Judiciary has made a report adverse to the PROPOSE
tiop 10 take vote OF the people al Especial election
upon paying the wan tax imposed by Congress 1t
argued that Congress exercised its cOnstiiuiional
duty in assigning to Kentucky her share of The ex-
penses Of the war; and that Kentucky was bound,
while a constituent part Of the United States Gov
eminent, to pay her debt by direct tax upon her
people, or by it's assumption by the Legislature.
have not learned how our Committee on Ways ana
Means will provide for its payment but It's repudia-
ton was rejected by very large vote. Another
proposition based upon the necessity Of rafting means
for the prosecution of the war, has been the sus-
pension of tie collection Of the Common School tax
for two years. / am happy 10 say that upon this
the Committee on Education made an adverse re-
port, which was sustained by the House. The bill
for suppressing and furnishing rebellion has passed

the madness of this Secession movement Hundreds
Of deludod citizens have gone 70 the Southern armies,
soavug their families totally unproyided for, aGd
depending upon the charity of the friends Of
the Union. Their lawful guardians and protectors
4 have cruelty deserted them, and more cruelty are
endeayoring to come back armed with fire aud sword
against the loyal homes which are giving them shell
ter. Instances have come 10 my know edge OF the
most aggravated cascs Of this kind, where men with
the most cold.booded delibeIaton have abandoned
their wives and children, leaving them ponnilesf,
and in some cases after having sluandered the for
tunes which they obtained with their wives In mar
rage. In every aspeCt in which this horrible epl-
demc is viewed, it is the most reckless, hearess,
and damnable frenzy that has ever seized mankind.
