The situation in k.ntucl.,.

There are several things which should
not be lost sight of in connection with the
Taylor insurrection against the constituted
authorities, the laws. and constitution OF
Kentucky. In the first place, TO doubt has
ever been thrown upon the legality of the
state Legislature. which. in the due per-
Torrance of its duty, has declared William
Goebel TO be the lawfully elected Governor
OF the State and William S. Taylor a
usurper. Up 10 the time that this deci-
sion was reached the Legislature properly
recognized the de facto governship of Tay-
ler. as he has always recognized the pres
ent Legislature as the constitutional Gem
eral Assembly of Kentucky.
When Taylor undertook to deny the Leg
islature access to it's halls by force and
arms. under pretence OF authority 20 '.ad-
journ it, and. later. when he used his
armed bandits to prevent its members
from assembling in other places. he thereby
established himself in the position OF a
rebel against the State. We are glad TO
see that the respectable press of Ken
tucl;y. Republican as well as Democratic. Is
unanimous in support OF this proposition.
When finally, the Legislature in pursu-
ance OF its constitutional prerogative. an
nounced that William Goebel was the legal
incumbent of the gubernstorial Office. II
was Taylor's business to bow to the law
and surrender. He did not do so. and con-
iinaed 10 defy the authorities. Thereby he
made himself an outlaw.
II is useful. in view Of an opinion. more
