together, TO report progress Dat aias
for Judge BulIitt, hs found
The bet laid schemes o mice and nsn
Gang aft a-gleyi
And lea's us nsuZht bat grief and Pain,
For promised joy.
Before the Judge reached Louisville,
the grasp Of General Burbridge was
upon him, and he vas arrested as q
traitor. The indignation of the deeeiv-
ed and outraged constituency who hon
ored him with their confidence, RACES
6ercely against Judge Bullitt's treason.
And many Of the "sympalhizers IN our
midst seem to be as indignant as the
loyal men. In the course Of the next
few days after the arrest of the
Chief Of the Kentucky conspirators,
various other members of the S. l. we're
gathered Among these Is Wm. K
Thomas, Jailor OF jefferson county. Mr.
Thomas was ct one time one of the
most jealous Union men Of this city
he was very liberal, and thoroughly IN
earnest In an evil hour for bis peace,
bis honor, and welfare, he forgot that
the people Of the United States had not
confided to him the management Of the
war, and undertook to set up for himself
Very unfortunately for Mr.. Thomas, the
proof against him is such that he could
not look it in the face without feeling
Of horror. We regret that he ever for
got his duty to the laws
Another of the active of the engineers
Of this mischief is DR.. Kaifus Through
the casualties of war and disease this
man reached the commandership Of the
18th regiment of Kentucky Volunteers,
a regiment that has earned its fall need

and has well sustained Kentucky g

forgot the position assigned him, aud 50
degraded himself that Gen. RoSecrans
dismissed him dishonorably from the
military service for disloyalty From
that field Of disgrace DR. Kalfus came to
Louisville and commenced business as a
trai,orous conspirator
The steam FIRE engine department vas
su5orned TO this scheme OF vilIainy by
the accession Of its Chief to the gang
Of conspirators. A great many think
/ that this fully reveals the meaning Of
the disastrous FIRE in this city, in which
/ nearly = million dollars worth Of proper
/ ty, sacred to the necessities and comforts
Of the sick and wounded soldiers, vas
/ destroyed in few hours. This was bat
a mere taste Of what these eonspirstors
designed for this city. When they Sc
cured the Chiefs Of the Water Works
and Fire Departments, they seemed to
feel that their heaven Oh earth had be
gun.
The robbery Of Dupont's powder mag
zne was engineered BY this secret or
/ gsnization.
We have m zach more to reveal respect
ing the plans and designs of these men,
bat we canuot spare the space today.
We give below a lis, of the ara esis that
have been made. A great many Of OUT
