Frequent applications made to the Adju-

The Sd Iowa Battery has been ordered TO b

Gov. Stone and the Adjutant General are
as anxious as the friends and relatives Of the
men in these regiments that they be discharg-

been made by Gov. Stone in this direction
that could properly made.

FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 4, 1865.
An Important Day for Ke.tncky.

On Monday ae1, the general election In Ksntuc-
~ will occur, and the political complexion Of the
Legislature which 10 10 be chosen that day, will
decide whether the ss,e accepts rejects the con-
sttutional Amendment, This contes, 10 regarded
With interest In all parts Of the country, no, be-
cause Of tho .bollton question which II involves,
90 much the fac, thu, lis the dra Of the series Of
state elections now rapidly approaching, and also
because Of TIE peculiar circumstances connected
with IT, with regard TO the latter feature, we OBJ
serve tk, Gen. PAtuEs, the military commandsnt
In Kentucky, has issued order 70 the fleet that
oil persons who have served In the rebel army, or
who have in any c,psciiy participated in or given
encouragement to the late REBELLION, are prohibited
from voung, under penaty Of trial BY military
commission. Gov. BnAyLTfrK has also issued
proclamation warning the late rebels OF
the consequences Of attempting TO vote and
n 10 probable, therefore, that tho RIeh
nond farce will not be repes'ei In
Kentucky. This measure IL seemingly harsh, but
experience has already tsugh, that il will not do to
give the lato rebels too much tether and the &C
lion Of General PALaEa Is no doub, tic result Of
direct Instructions from the Government probably
resulting from the recent election experience IN
Richmond. 81 FAR a. the lawfI'ne5s Of his action
10 concerned, II Is not open 30 tho objection hH
would attach 10 IA Ia States unlcr Pfovsiou' Gov
ernrnents. Kentucky has a State law which pro-
hbts the class shove. named from voting, aud It "a
simply for the enforcement o. this Law iha! General
PALMER 10 prepsring-Ihe civil authorities as IS
alleged, not beng COMPETENT to enforce Il. slch
nh order in reclaimed State would not he permits
sibe, for the reason that II would conflict with the
Prosidcnrs general orders for tho establishment OF
Provisional Governments, but Sat- that has no.
been nonlnsny out Of tho Union has tho power
10 make whatever regulation Il Foes proper with
regard 70 suffrage. Therefore, If Gen. PALMER has
Sep, within the limits Of The law in question, the
oily fault that can be found with his order ia tho
fact that II IL W bo enforced by the military Instead
Of by tho civil authorities. If II ia true that the
.si.er are Incompetent. to protect the law then this
objection becomes q nul ty. Tho msigniiy ~
generally manifested by the late rebels toward the
Government shows tho necessity Of prompts and
decisiyo measures. The public wal. no repettiopS
