and Then Trouble VIII Follow.

FRANKFORT. KY. Feb. Sat 1880
o'clock this morning Gov. Goebel was as
comfortable as he had been AT any time
during the day. He was able TO take
little nourishment at midnight. some ice
cream being given him. The indications
are for a good night.
In fact, Mr.. Goebeis condition is con-
sidered better than at any time since he
was shot The iron will and determina-
ton of the wounded man that he win not
die by an assassin's bullet s, however,
still considered the main factor In sus-
taining him. Last night the attending
physicians for the first time held out some
hope for his ultimate recovery.
Trouble Imminent Today.
The first clash between the executive and
judiciary powers of the state occurred to-
day. A still greater clash is imminent
tomorrow, and beyond the possibilities OF
tomorrow lies a sea with skies so lower
ing and of so stormy an aspect that no
politician of either party can predict where
IL will carry the Kentucky ship OF state.
There can be no longer any concealment
of the fact that affairs in this state are
bordering upon conflict in arms and the
beginning OF the crisis is at hand.
Court Omcer Arrested.
The clash OF today came when an officer
OF the circuit court Of Franklin county was
arrested by the military while attempting
to serve notice of legal proceeding upon
Gov. Taylor. The clash OF tomorrow may
come when the officers of that court at
tempt to enforce the ruling OF its prcsid-
ing Judge. Behind this judge the Demo-
Gratis will have tomorrow. for the frst
time an active executive head in the per-
the Democratic standpoint. a regularly APP
pointed adjutant general. whose orders the
troops now encamped around the capitol
building are bound to obey. II they decline
to obey the new adjutant general. the
Democrats claim he win have the power TO
organize a military force of his own and
proceed against all people who defy the
authority OF his office and that of the gov
ernor OF the state whom he represents.
Republicans Firm In Their Attitude.
on the other hand. the Republicans are
fixed in their attitude that there 10 an
insurrection in the state. and Beckhan and
his actions, his adjutant general and hts
orders. are those OF people acting in cppo-
sition TO law. They believe that they alone
are in the right. and as there can be but
one right and all else wrong. those who
show resistance to the proclama;ions OF
Gov Taylor are in rebellion against the
commonwealth. They will resist any at
tempt OF any kind TO remove them from
their position around the capitol, resisting
force with force. and that means civil war.
First Clash of the Day.
The FIRST clash Of today came when
Alonzo Walker. a stenographer employed
by the Democratic attorneys. was placed
ffx Ha
charged with conduct tending 10 lneite
mutiny and riot. The conduct consisted
In pinning TO the door Of the private Of
ace Of Gov. Taylor notice that tomor-
row morning the Democratic attorneys
would appear before Judge Cantrill. of the
circuit court. and ask for an injunction
restraining Gov. Taylor from all intcrfer-
snce with the movements OF tho iegisla-
turs, and from his announced attempt 20
remove Il to London. IN this state Walk
er was at once taken into custody by or
ders of Col Roger Williams. the com.
snanding offieer Of the forces now gather
ed around the capitol.
