ciai for them to obey will be seated IN the
gubernatorial chair. The soldiers them
selves are in a quandary to what they
should do, and they are awaiting develop

Appeals and Statements.
Several appeals to the people, state

morning. all Of them being of violent
nature One Of them, which did not, how
ever, receive many signatures, called on
tie people 10 drive out the military by
force. The soldiers declare they will be
driven by nobody. Any attack will be
promptly met and a desperate fight is GER
tain to result.

Disappointment for Democrats
A large crowd gathered at the depot
this morning to greet the train from Louis
vile. 1t had been currently reported that
Gen Castleman would come IN, and many
Of the enthusiastic democrats expected to
see him walk Cp to the state house and
take command of the troops. Gen. Castle
man failed TO appear, however, and there
was a sorely disappointed crowd of partt-
sans around the depot when the fact was
realized II was denied by the democrats
this morning that the position of adiutant
general had ever been offered to Gen. Cas-
tleman.
The report last night, however was that
an order placing him In command of the
Ipops Hdu D~en drawn up and signed The
apparent failure Of Gov Cioebe, to- nIace an
adjutant general in Office leaves the troons
entirely at the disposition of the republic

lessened all chance of trouble from that
source. The soldiers vii, continue to obey
the orders of Gen Collier, and there will
be 10 conflicting orders 10 confuse them
