Some of the officers intimated to-

orders to Leave, although they were care
full not to say SO in specific terms.
Indications around the State House
tonight were not such as to warrant any
belief that the troops now there intended
to move away in the morning. Supplies
Of clothing and food were being received
and unloaded, and everything seemed to

sfAYLORS ADDRESS.
FRANKFORT. ky. Jan. Ex-Governor
Taylor this afternoon issued the follow
ing address to the people:
To the People of Kentucky:

fairs ever experienced by our people has
rendered prompt action on the part of the
Chief Executive of the State absolutely

unlawful acts. practiced By those in
charge of the legislative interests of the

condition of the period to the State. The
dreadful tragedy which occurred Eester-
day shocked and startled ALL and can be
no more sincerely deplored by any one
than myself.

conditions of t:,reatened violence as now
prevails in Frankfort would be sheer
madness, and I have. therefore. in the
exercise of my constitutional powers. adj
