A number OF citizens oil Kentucky have Geen

that ne would afford them al opportunity OF pre-

And am happy 20 be able . assure your read

that State The reign of nhbridled military in
science is over, ana the reign OF law and order is
ABOUT 70 commence The feelings of the citizens
of Kentucky will not much iouger be outraged
by the preseBce of negro troops. ORDERS for the
