KENTUCKY IN WIAOS.
GoefooJ Between Lifer and Death-Taylor
Appeals to tho. President.
The utmost coufusion and
uncertainty reigns in Kentucky's
capitol. . t
It has become a question, quite
uncomfortable to Mr. Taylor as
to who is governor of the State.
Jt has effected the refusal of &
bank president to. cash his
order and a penitentiary warden
to release a man on a pardon
from him. He has sent a long
. telegram to the president giving
his version of the situation and
appealing to the strong national
arm to relieve tho strain. "
In the meantime the Democrats
who are in the majority in both
branches.of the legislature meet
and formally attempt to enter
the 'legislative halls and are de
barred by troops under Taylor's
'command.
Letters threatening assination
flow thrQW the mails and there
is some shyness,
Mr. Goebel was at latest dis
patches poising between life and
death with chances many to .one
against recovery. .
