TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEI
Frankfort KY Feb. 5.-But for the presence
of death and the realization that assassination
had brought death into this already Overheated
community. the situation here to-day would
have been Iudicrous. The air. that has been sur
charged with electricity for nearly week. was
to-day filed with such a<myriad OF rumors "a

giving serious heed to any Of them
The hope has crystalIized into conviction that
all conditions are rapidly making for peace. II
now appears evident to the closest observers
that the controversy will be settled without the
pitched battle between the contestants. which

party are now eager for war.
There has been no untoward event to-day OF
any kind in this city. County Court Day has
come and gone. and II there was no more dis

was in this ii is certain that the talk OF great
danger TO be guarded against when the country
people hocked TO the towns was mere talk
BEGINNING PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
1t is conceded here by the most competent
judges that the conference held at Louisville
to-day between authorized representatives OF
both sides is at least the beginning OF peace
negotiations that win shortly result in salts
factory -n1aBnsr--it ia thought possible By some
Republicans that Governor Taylor and his Ad-
jutant General are still anxious 10 hold out and
fight rather than yield one iota OF their conten-
tion, but it is not generally believed that they
will maintain this stern front OF war longer
than until some agreement can be reached by
their legal advisers the safest way TO get
their case into the Federal courts so as not TO
waive their rights to the Offices now held BY
them.
Despite Taylor's carefully prepared statement
denying that he is weakening" the consensus
of sound judgment here is that he issued this
manifesto only for the purpose of letting himself
down easily. 1t is conceded that there IS
scarcely any doubt at all as TO the earnest de-
sire Of Lieutenant Governor Marshall 20 bring
about a peaceable settlement through legal
processes. and that behind him are arrayed the
most potent influences in the Republicanisnn OF
Kentucky. 1t is therefore believed here that
he met the Democrats in conference at Louis
Vile with the consent, il not actually at the
direction, of Taylor.
MILITARY ACTIVITY CONTINUES

grounds On the contrary. the armament was
increased to-day by the addition OF two small
calibre cannons and battalion of soldiers was
put in the arsenal that overlooks the city. The
Democrats said TO be secretly organizing
military companies all over the State presum-
ably for the purpose OF rushing here in arms to
back up the posse eomitatus. which IL is sup

1t is now being stated by those who have been
prophets in other matters that Judge CantriIl
will vacate his temporary restraining order

him at Georgetown on Thursday The object OF
this is asserted 10 be TO get the injunction writ
Immediately made permanent by the Court OF
Appeals, the highest judicial tribunal in the
State. and TO which the Democrats viii carry It.
This. of course. will be done by agreement-the
Republicans call it colluson.
The Court Of Appeals is Democratic by one
majority and it is nor doubted that Judge Can
trill's temporary restraining order VIII be made
permanent by this tribunal. even though the
Court which issued it vacates it on the final
hearing. To the end that none OF the Demo-
cratic judges fall under the assassins bullet be-
fore the Injunction suit is settled. they are be-
ing carefully guarded day and night
