He placed it upon higher ground
even than that. The troops did no
hurnl, and left their money here for
pecnniary benefit remove the trQops
at TINS time and unother step towards
anarchy would be taken. Senator
Swails coincidcL, with what Senator
Whittcmorc had stated, ani favored
in strong rem"rks, the request that
the troops be Kept here, cons.deriri, !,
their ordering away at this time ell
tirely premature, Senator Mclnty'c c
said it made no difference to him
whether the same passed or not, but
he thought it would be damaging to
business prospects. Senator Jones
advocated the adoption Of the same
as necessarily cxpedicnt at the present
time. INSTANCES of the present or
ganizatiop of. tho Ku.KIux were
cited. Hope believed he should vote
for it there was never no use for
for them in good old Lexington; they
were lawatiding people over there ;
he wished they were so all over the
State. Senator did not remember,
opce .upon time, Of one hundred
armed men putting in an appearance
at the polls. Hope thought the
keeping Of the United States troops
here conveyed the idea that she pco-
pie we're upruly w., Swails asked IIcpn
if he did rot know that military,posts
were established in other States
North. Hope only spoke, he said, to
dampen the, ideas that had got abroad
about ku. .KIux, &c. THO copcur-
rent resolution was then unanimously
adopted.
The same resolution was also irtro-
duced in the House.
The report of the Judiciary COM
mit.ec on a bill to regulate the fees
of Probate Judges, Clerks Of COURTS,
Trial justices and other officers,
was debated at length on the second
reading. The principal objection
seemed tpbe cutting down Probate
Judges fees. Mr.. Jctcr favored the
reducing of the fees, but desired
the bill returned to the. Judiciary
committee, so that attorneys fees
could be included and cut doxn. Il.
was decided that it would require a
separate bill to do this. 1t was inal.
ly concluded to take the bill np at
once for consideration, and the attcn.
ton of the Senate was engaged for
an hour or more upon q large nun.
Der Of amendments. The main
amendments placed tho fees back
where they were in the law of 1880.
