cial Gazettc special from Frankfort. KY.
says: The Legislature adjourned last
night after sixty days of unfruitful
pickering. The Legislature failed to ac-
complish the two important acts It had
before 1.-THE election of United States
senator and the enactment of legislation
to save the states financial reputation.
The house promptly passed the two bills
that would have relieved the state gov
eminent from financial distress. The
senate refused even TO consider these bills.
Governor Bradley has refused to order
special session, and the state is in bad
way.
The senate special investigation COM
mittee offered "A report that w IS so mild
when the threats To unseat The governor
are considered-that even the Democrats
passed denouncing the lawlessness and
indorsing Governor Bradley to the end.
The troops had dress parade last night
and left today. Lieutenant Governor
Worthington has issued a call for a spe-
cial election April IL to fill the vacancy in
the senate caused by Weissinger's death.
Senators Walton and James will resign
and the governor will order special cleo
ton, refusing to recognize their expulsion
Oy the senate.
The senate committee appointed to in
vestigate Governor Bradley and impeach
him for usurpation of Office and impose
both fine and imprisonment, reported to
the senate last evening. The report finds
that the militia was not placed under the
control of any civil officer; members were
prevented from entering the house; SOL
diers entered the senate chamber while in
session; no application was made to the
jailer or county judge for assistance; the
governor made no inquiry of either house
as to the situation; that the object in
calling out the militia was to cast in the
joint assembly two votes and elect a SEN
ator.
The committee In closing It's report
says: "The committee therefore find and
declare and recommend that by adoption
by this report the senate of Kentucky de-
clare that said use of the military power
of the commonwealth by the governor was
unnecessary for the preservation of the
peace or for any other lawful purposes;
that said military force was not used by
the governor for the purpose of preserv-
ing the peace. but was used solely for par
tisan political purposes; that said action
of the governor was wholly without war
rant of law and was and is now flag
rant subversion of the civil authority by
the military power of the common
wealth" BY vote of 10 to IA the report
was adopted
When the senate convened last evening
the Republicans made a fight to bring up
the revenue bills for consideration and
save the credit Of the state, but the Demo-
Gratis prevented legislation by filibuster-
ing, Goebel leading the fight. An effort
was made to unseat President Worthing-
ton and place Goebel in the chair in order
that he might prevent any consideration
of the revenue bills. The senate adjourned
sine die. The house also adjourned sine die.
