TIE ARREST OF REPUBLICANS,

ward the formation Of a state guard
under his administration was taken
here yesterday. City Clerk Ben Mar.
shall circulated a paper and enlisted the
| requisite number Of men who are to
| compose the new company. The guns
| for this company have been provided
by citizens here, most Of them being
either needle guns or Winchesters.
Yesterday afternoon report gained
currency that Republican Governor
Taylor had given his soldiers orders to
arrest Beckham and other officers OF
the Democratic state government. On
account of this report the men enlist
ed by Captain Marshall were assem-
bled at the city hall, armed and sworn
in as special police for the purpose Of
protecting the Democratic officers, who
are still quartered at the Capital hotel.
A large number of citizens also yolun-
teered and were assigned to various
posts in the vicinity of the hotel to
offer resistance in case the talked of
arrests were attempted.
Beckham yesterday afternoon ar.
pointed Colonel David r. Murray. of
Clover Point, assistant adjutant gen.
eral, with the rank of colonel, and he
was sworn in. The official announce
ment was made that this appointment
10 only temporary. This was regarded
as significant, it being understood that
Colonel Murray accepted the appoint
ment on account of the gravity of the
political situation and with the under
standing that he could resign when the
conditions in the state become more
quiet.
Taylors soldiers. who are on guard
al the state house, were reinforced
yesterday by the arrival of the Bar
louisville company of II men, all OF
whom are fully armed and equipped.
The Pneville and London companies
are expected at any hour.
Only two days more remain for the
legislature to remain in session, but
the developments of those two days are
looked forward to with apprehension
by leaders Of both sides. The Demo-
cratic pa,'tisans say that should the
militia attempt to interfere with the
session Of the legislature, persistent
rumors of which have been in circula-
ton, it will he next to impossible to
avert bloodshed. The Republican Of
ficials. however, deny that such action
has been even contemplated. That the
report is believed in Democratic cir
Csc, however. is shown by the fact
that the advisability Of holding the
session in some other place than the
state house has been under advsement.
According to statement made by
rTnptpp npt night n boc tod
pardon to each of the persons for
whom warrants have been issued
charging them with being accessories
t1 the assassination of Governor
Goebcl, including Secretary of State
Caleb Powers and eX-Secretary of
State Charles Finley. In his statement
Governor Taylor recites the condi-
tions under which he claims to have
been elected and charges the Demo-
cratic contestants for state Offices with
conspiracy to secure control of the
government. He concludes:
"Ihc guilty men should be punished,
but designing men controlling the
courts should not be enabled to shed
the blood OF innocent men, and if it
