the Legislature will meet here ana IL -
proposed to make Louisville the heao-
quarters of the executive and iegisih-
live branches of this state govern
ment as long as the presence OF troops
keeps them from Frankfort or un.il
the present conflict of authority In the
state Is settled.
Tbe details of this plan were decided
upon mt the conferences held Dy
leading Democratic leaders during the
afternoon.
1t was stated by members OF the Leg
isIature present that threats had been
made Mt Frankfort by persons connect
ed with Governor Tnylor's administra-
ton that Democratic members OF the
Legislature would be arrested IL that
step was necessary to secure their at
tendance upon the session OF the Legs
lature called by the Republican COVER
nor to meet at London next TUESDAY:
These members asserted that they hau
been warned not to return to Frank
fort. Enough of the Democratic mem
bers of each house Will be here To-
morrow. IL is asserted by the Demo
cratic managers. to form quorum NO
legislation will be attempted, but ad-
journment from day to day VIII DE
held pending a settlement OF the legal
uutSIlOuS lllNblNtu tht PhtHtah Nf'
pute between the parties.
1t Is thought that the main reliance
OF the Democrats Mt least for the pres
ent, will be placed In the police force
of the city and the constabulary OF the
country.
The mayor and city officers and the
sheriff of the county are Democrats
and will undoubtedly recognize Beck
ham as governor. The number of men
mt their command is considerable.
Frankfort, KY, Feb. 4.-Alonzo
Walker. the stenographer who was
placed under arrest on the charge OF
melting the soldiers of the state guard
to mutiny while pinning notice OF a
proposed application for an injunction
upon the door of the office of Governor
Taylor, was released this morning.
The release was not made in response
to the writ of habeas corpus which
Sheriff Suffer tried in vain yesterday
to serve upon Governor Taylor. The
latter concluded that Walker had re
mained In custody for sufficient
length of time, and told him to &c
home. The charge of melting to mu
tiny has been quashed, but Walker
may not be brought before court mar
tial. as was at one time contemplated
by the officers OF the state guard.
