ed by the OLDEST lawyers in the country, which
will be introduced in Congress at an early day,
proposing to reopen the Presidential question.

things are ripe the bill will be introduced. The
purpose of the bill is to provide machinery for
the Supreme Court to regulate its proceedings
and hear the applications of q state which feels
that it has been defrauded of It's elector rights.
1t is cihimed that the bill will overcome all
constitutional difficulties.

NEW YORK, March 23.-A special states that
the people of central and western Kentucky
are inaugurating crusade upon the state leg
to defer the collection of debts. Reliable men
from those districts, now at the capital, de-
clare that unless debtors are protected from
their creditors in the East aud elsewhere, wide
spread ruin will result throughout the blue
grass region. The products of the counties of
Union, Daviess, Henderson, Hopkins and
Christian, have deprecated enormously in val
ne Leaf tobacco, which year ago sold for
$3.50, now brings $3.50; potatoes, which then,
brought 80 to go cents, cannot be sold now for
10 cents. Other productions have declined in
like proportion, and the foe stock raising bust
ness is utterly fiat. These gentlemen declare
that if stay law is not passed Immediately
downright lawlessness will ensue As soon as
Eastern capitalists and other creditors begin
the enforcement of collection of their claims,
there will be armed, organized and, if neces-
sary, bloody resistance.
