JuDGr RANDALL has subjected him

the Breathitt matter. Governor Nc.
Crcary has held troops in readiness to
he sent to that county 50 soon as Ran.
dali coald be heard from, but ss yet
no tidings has been received from him,
and il is thought that he may be dodg-
ing around los, in the mountains Of
that wild county.
LATER. Governor has after
repeated efforts succeeded in getting q
reply to his several letters to Judge
Randall, in which he strongly demurs
to the idea Of holding a called term Of
his Court in Breathitt, immediately
giving as . reason that "the Court
house is incommodious, the face Of the
county rough, the roads muddy and
the water courses numerous. Gov.
ernor McCreary replied, urging upon
him the importance Of holding a term
not later than the 4th Monday in this
month, adding that "when courts are
defed, Law trampled under foot, a
faithful officer murdered and the
peace and safety of unoAending ciii-
zens endangered, it Is the duty of all
who are intrusted with the sdministra-
ton Of justice and the execution Of
the law to at least make earnest efforts
TO punish the guilty and restore conf
dence, peace and good order"
Desiring to wait no longer, the
Governor has ordered a detail Of a
Lieutenant and twenty-five men Of
the McCreary Guards, and the same
number of the Louisville Legion, nu-
der command Of Capt. E. II. Taylor,
Of Frankfort, t, 60 to Breathitt and
report to Judge Randall, or in his alb
sence to the Sheriff. The troops fully
equipped, left Mt. Sterling yesterday
morning. The reports from that
county are still alarming, and show
that terrible state of affairs exists
four or FIVE men having been shot
down since our last report. This is
the second time since the war that
State troops have been sent to preserve
the peace in Breathitt, and it is to be
hoped that they will be able to clean
out the law.breakers so fully this time,
that that county will give the State
no more trouble.
