One of the fret and most important
duties of the next Houe OF Representa-
tives of the Kentucky Legislature vii be
the election Of Speaker. Already
a number of gentlemen lave been spoken
Of in connection with that position.
Prominently among the number is the
Hon. Lyttleton Cooke, Of Louisville
Mr.. Cooke is a gentleman in every
way eminently qualified for the position
He has recently served full term of
four years in the State Senate, in which
body he was a prominent and most USE
full member, always attentive to the in
terests OF his immediate constituents, and
of the whole State, and in every way dis
charged the duties of his responsible Po>
sition with credit and distinction. Being
an able lawyer, and thoroughly versed in
parliamentary rules and practices, he
would, should the choice of the House
fall upon him, make an efficient, cOurte'
GUS and able presiding officer.

Last Thursday about fifty or sixty
men claiming TO he from Airdric,
Green River, Richmond, AMI other
mines in Muhlcnhcrg county, and
along Green River. came TO the Tay-
Tor mines and got the hands at work,
by coaxing and threatening took
them to the woods where a meeting
was held, and the miners ut Taylor
mines, who, 10y the way, were nearly
or quite all cnlOred men, were ordered
TO quit work, which they did, but we
understand they have resumed again
this week. From there they went to
McIIenry mines, and ordered the
hands there to quit work. Captain
Duncan and others at work in the
bank refused to quit work. They
stuck up a notice at the bank forbid
ding them to continue work under Sc
we're penalty. One Of the names
signed 10 this notice was NJ. l.. " eeks,
formerly Police Judge of Hamilton.
He would make a sweet Peace officer
if that Is his notion of law and order.
They then left, and the next day
Captain David Duncan received the
following card with coffin aud pistol
picture on the head of the letter.
I'D. 5. DUNCAN If you and youI
internal gang don't leave this place
(McHenry) in forty-eight hours, OF

The above is the letter or notice
verbatim except the ugly picture o
Iistol and coffin.
The owners of the mines learneJ
that drunken mob was coming from
RockpOrt or elsewhere Friday night
TO put the threat into execution.
The Sheriff summoned a posse o
men who went to the mines at tn,
proper time to meet the intimidators
but they were not to be found. If tn,
Grand jury passes by this Aagran
outrage without indictlng every on
whose name can be obtained, then w
see no use of such an expense as
Grand Jury, and the laws against ku
kluxing had as well be repealed. Tn
names of many of the violators can b
gotten by the proper effort. An,
man has a right to quit work when h
end his employer cannot agree upo
the wages 10 be paid, but it is gettin
TO "a high pass when a man is willing {
work for the wages offered and lot q
men steps in and forbids him TO do $
under pain of death, or some othe
fearful penalty.
While the miners have been on
strike at Taylor and McHenry mines

nothing. Let those who are not sati,
fed with the wages paid quit, but Il
those who are willing to work at ths
work, and then things will go o
smoothly, and let the law be enforce
against ku-kluxing and intimidation
if it takes the whole power of ii
