The usual peace and dignity of this quiet
neighborbood has been completely upset by
another feminine fracas this time between
two cousins, Miss b. X. and Miss NJ. s. II
was told that at q gathering at Mr.. Sol
As, a few Sabbaths ago, that Miss
b. passed good portion of the evening in
her sweethearts lap. Whether she did or
not, Miss NJ. says she is not able to say !;
she was not there. After Miss b. found it
was talked Of great deal by parties that
cere there, she mounts her steed and rides
up to her uncle SIS, calls her aunt and
cousin out, tells them she came up to find
out something about them lies that was
going" What lies asked they. About
my sitting in Mr.. SIS lap" IL Vas told
to me" said NJ, for the truth. ! did not
know what to think of it." you are a
liarp said B. You started it from the
beginning"
From that they began. The more they
talked the louder they talked, until the
neighbors gathered in to see what was up.
After it Gained down little, they inquired
into the broil-they advised them to get on
their horses and ride until they settled it.
The last heard from them, they had gath
cred a good portion Of the company that
was at the gathering, and were at Mr.. AS
gate, Miss b. rearing and charging and
paving the ground" trying to get Miss NJ.
Off her horse until she could wear the
ground out with her But Miss NJ, too
modest and lady-like to engage in a knock
down" especially with her cousin, was resist
ing. What was or viii be the final result,

!. The Democracy Of Kentucky, in conven-
ton assembled, reaffirm their attachment to tho
Constitution of the United States and the union
of the States rs the best guarantee for the lber-
ties of the people and their prosperity and hap
pincss.
2. They rejoice in the fact that IL Is in their
power to recognize that all tho States arc re-
stor@ to their political autonomy.
3. They hereby record their solemn protest
that a popular verdict at the polls has been re-
vcrsed by the action Of an electoral commission,
and they declare that, while in the interest Of
peace that result was acquesccd in, yet IL shall
not be held as precedent for future violations
Of right ard justice. Though thus deprived Of
control Of the Executive power in the admins
tration of the Federal Government, they con-
graduate the people Of the country at large
that the popular will, exercised at the polls, has
secured the supremacy Of Democratic MAORI
ity in both houses Of Congress- In further OK
preston Of our views we resolve that VIC have
viewed with intense interest the issue between
the Congress of the United States and the Pres
ident, and contemplate with unfeigncd anxiety
and condemnation the unprecedented attitude
assumed by the Executive in his message re-
jccting the supplies rendered him by the people
for the support Of their ARMY, upon tho whole
some condition that no military force should
be used at their elections.
4. That VIC heartily indorse the position taken
by our Senators and Representatives in Congress
in coupling with the appropriation bills now
pending demand for redress of grievances by
the repeal Of existing laws which tolerate the
presence Of soldiers at the polls, the continuance
of test oaths as condition for jury service, and
the employment of Supervisors and Deputy
Marshals to control elections.
5. That in this great issue between the peo-
pie and partisan Executive we have implicit
confidence in our Senators and Representatives,
and, indorsng their action up to the present,
hereby assure them Of our hearty support in
whatever action they may take to maintain the
fundamental principle that the military power
shall be kept subordinate to the civil, and that
elections shall be free from executive interior
once.
8. That we approve the action Of the General
Assembly in submitting to the people the ques-
ton Of calling convention for the purpose Of
forming a State Constitution, and we hereby
commend the call to the favorable consideration
Of the Democratic voters of the State.

The Republican conspiracy to overthrow
the liberties of the people is far more dan
gerous to the republic than was the armed
attempt of the South to dissolve the union
Of the States. The Confederates made no
war upon popular liberty nor the political
rights Of citizens, and had the manliness to
presen. the issue of secession in shape
that could be met and disputed by force of
arms. The conspirators at Washington
work their evil quietly and covertly, yet
none the less remorselessly, and therefore
the more dangerously, until the country,
like a maiden in the tolls Of the seducer,
will be despoiled before !, is aware that
danger menaces il, The patriotic people
can not be too vigilant, No true lover Of
republican institutions can afford TO sleep
on his arms while this implacable foe to
free ballot and an untrsmmeled judiciary is
in the field,

Local has been compelled to read sharp
lecture to lawyer" who, under the pro

rageously because his testimony in larceny
case did not tend to put angel wings on the
assailants client. This thing Of attorneys
assulting witnesscsn the style some ofthcm

an honorable profession, and the quintcs'

SENAlEs
Washington, May 7.-On motion of Mr..
Ingalls,, resolution was adopted asking the
president for information as to what steps
have been taken to prevent the invasion Of
the Indian territory by settlers.
The house bill to prohibit military inter-
ference in elections was read twice. BY n
vote of 81 to "a the senate disagreed to Ed
mund's motion to refer it to the judiciary
committee, and then laid it on the table to
be called up hereafter.
Mr.. Carpenter then continued his remarks
in support of Kellogg's right to the seat for
which Spaford is contestant.
HOUSE.
Mr.. Chalmers, as question of privilege,
called up his resolution for an investigation
of his conduct at Fort Pillow. He recog-
nized the danger of rekindling the flames
OF passion and prejudice, but it was hard to
ask soldiers who lost all but their honor to
permit untrue accusations to rob them of
that also. He had concluded to accept the
advice of friends and make his own state
ment. Early in the day of the Fort Pillow
battle he had been relieved from command
BY General Forest. A number of the gar
rison who rushed toward the gunboats were
killed, but the most searching inyestiga.
tion had failed to show any killed in
war. de denied that the wounded were
burned in their quarters or set on fire after
the capture IF the fort. Nearly all who
ran out of the fort were killed, but those
who remained, mostly whites, were en-
trenched and protected by himself and
Forest. He denied that the confederates
misused flag of truce The Fort Pillow
garrison numbered 577 men, of whom
about forty per cent. were sayed.
Mr.. Garfield referred to the impolicv of
re.opening the subject and intimated that
officers were less responsible than at first
supposed, but the opinion at that time had
been strengthened by General Forests or.
der which provided that If the
garrison surrendered they should
be treated as prisoners of war, otherwise no
quarter might be expected He was glad
Chalmers had done SO much to disconnect
his name with responsibility for the matter.
The subject occupied the attention of the
house for long time, and at one period
there were indications of trouble between
Chalmers and Burrows in consequence of an
allusion made by Chalmers to some criti.
cisms against Burrows for his own conduct
in the war. Chalmers, however, disclaimed
any personsl knowledge on the subject, saw
ing he had his. information from Washing.
ton newspapers. Burrows branded the allie.
CATION as utterly untrue. Finally the whole
subject was laid on the table,
