rumors of which have been rife in the COM
munity for the last few weeks, wisely deter
mined to fortifv himself with all the safe
guards which the constitution has provided
for the protection and defense of the govern
ment. The entire reorganization Of the mill
tia forces of the state was determined upon,
and, In pursuance CT that purpose, the gov
ernor WAS busy In relieving and mastering
out many Of the old officers and appointing
new ones In their places We are not yet ad-
vised of the nature and extent of the changes
that have been made, but we are assured that
the reorganization Is such as to secure the
governor an efficient support, and such as
will command the appreciation and support OF
all good and aw-abiding citizens. We are
assured that the governor does not mediate
OF intend any violent or aggressive steps to
countcract the revolutionary measures which
Is said are contemplated for his deposition,
hut simply to place himself in an attitude to
prevent any possible hostile demonstration
that might ieopardiZe the peace Of the com
muni,y and imperil the safety of the govern
ment. The governor has acted wisely in this
matter Tor it Is safe and wholesome maxim
that an ounce OF prevention Is worth pound
of cure" We have had quito enough of rev.
oution IN our state. and the people need and
demand rest and repoSe. We do not believe
that there will now be any serious trouble in
connection with this threatened diabOlical
purpose to depose the governor and reyolu-
tion the government; and we sincerely hope
that all good citizens. seeing and appreciating
the purpose of the governor to preserve the
peace and protect the constituted authority OF
the state. in their law ful and constitutional
rights and privileges. will rally to his support
with unanimty of sentiment and detcrmin-
ati0n that they will deter any future effort or
combination. from whatever source it may
come, to bring about confusion in the govern
ment and consequent ruin ana destruction to
the people.

IN This city, It will be seen that Gov. Baxter
has taken the bull by the horns, and does
not intend that the robbers and thieves around
