With wore than 4<» armed militiamen of Kentucky in possession of the capitol square,in Frankfort,Ky.,keeping from the entrance all who had not a constitutional right or business reasons to be in the State house, the balloting for Lniten States Senator proceeded, Monday, with out disorder and without result Only one vote was cast, that of Speed, for Boyle. . rll f But the day of martial law was full ot sensational incidents in the city and in the Senate chamber. There was wrath ful denunciation of the Republican C»o\- ernor by the Democratic Senate for or dering the militia to the capitol. Sena tors Bronston and Fulton introduced re solutions accusing the Governor of fla «rrant usurpation of power, and the Sen ate adopted that of Mr. I-ulton s, ap pointing him and five others a committee to investigate "such contempt and breach of privilege," and report for final action In the House resolutions indorsing and condemning the Governor s act were pre sented and withdrawn. Sergeant-at-Arms Sommers, of the Senate, was allowed to pass the line of fix-id bayonets, but Col. Jack Chinn and his other deputies were turned back. .. There was no standing room in tne court house when an indignation meeting to protest against the action of Gov Brad ley in calling out the troops was called to order that morning by Mayor Julian. He made a speech telling of his confer ence with Gov. Bradlev, in which lie hart assured the executive that he would give the Legislature ample protection, and characterized his action in ordering out the troops as highly partisan and unbe coming a Governor Gen. Hendnck nominated Judge Lv sander Hoord as chairman of the meet ing As Judge Hjord took the chair there was a wild burst of applause. Speeches were made by Edward Taylor, Ollie Sanies and others, denouncing the action of Gov. Bradley in severe terms. The crowd continued to grow, and the court house yard at 12 o'clock was filled with the excited crowd. Heated speeches were made by Judge Hazierigg, Robert Frandlin and James Andrew on the legal phases of Gov. Brad ley's action. Resolutions were adopted denouncing the Governor's action as a usurpation of the law and a prostitution of his office for partisan purposes and stating that the civil authorities had been adequate to preserve the peace. The bit terest feeling existed, and on all sides could l>e heard outspoken words charac terizing the action as an insult to the people of Frankfort and of the common wealth. . „ The Governor issued the following proclamation that morning. It has been made known to me by _the affidavits of the president of the Ken tucky senate, the speaker of the Ken tucky House of Representatives and otli ers that for several days past an armed body of desperate men have, by their threats and demonstrations, intimidated and overawed some portion of the mem bers of the general assembly and that a portion of said persons assaulted Senator Walton and prevented him from going out of the Senate chamber; that a party of said persons in like manner took pos session of the door of the house while the joint assembly was in session, and as sumed to decide who should enter the chamber of the house when said session was being held, and on the 14th day of March, 1 §96; a portion of persons were at tempted to be sworn in as officers by the clerk of the Senate, to-wit, as deputies of the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, and thereupou forcibly seized the doorkeeper of the House of Representatives whilst the general aisembly was in joint session and prevented him from exercisiug the duties of his office, and allowed persons I to enter who were not entitled to a place on the floor; that the presence of these men prevented members from voting in the joint sessiou; that the civil authori ties who are claiming to act to-wit; the sheriff and his posse and the policemen of the city, hav: at no time arrested any of the riotious or armed persons, but have stood by and permitted them to continue their work of intimidation, permitting armed persons to occupy the Senate chamber and the cloakrooms, while the general assembly was in joint session, that said authorities are either powerless, overawed or unwilling to act, and that unless the chief executive interferes and protects the general assembly, executive action will be prevented and riot and bloodshed will follow; and that the se curity of the lives of the citizens and offi cers of the commonwealth requires such executive action. Now, therefore, as Governor of the commonwealth of Kentucky, I hereby call into active service, to be placed un der command of Col. John B. Castleman, 300 men of the first Kentucky regiment of state guards, company K of the second regiment of Kentucky guards to be plac ed under command of Col. E. H. Gaitli er, and company B of the second regiment of Kentucky state guards, the latter un der Commander Adjutant Gereral Collins until said Gaither reaches Frankfort, Ky. when the same will be placed under the command of the said Gaither, who to gether with said Castleman, will be un der the command of said Adjutant Gen. Collins, who, said Collins, will report to me. Said Gaither and Castleman are or dered to proceed with their regiments to Frankfort, Ky. The Kentucky Legislature adjourned Tuesday without electing aU. S. Senator or doing anything to relieve,the finances of the State. Gov. Bradley says he will not call a special sesssion. During the next three months South ern California will be engaged in picking the orange crop, which is estimated at 2,800,000 boxes, or two-thirds of a fu'l yield. The crop will sell for #5,000,000, which is an excellent return from an in dustry only fifteen years old. About $33,000,000 has been invested in the the orange groves of Southern California. There are in bearing 10,000 acres, and 80,000 more acres are planted.

Rev. Mr, Jason, who has been holding revival meetings there, and who preformed the ceremonies, explained the unusual cir cumstances by stating that he found that these people had lived together, some of them for years, as man and wife, without ever having been married, and that these weddings were the result of his explain ing to them the error of their ways.

THE NAME OF THE VAMPIRE IS BOND. On the first of March 1566, the nation al debt of the United States entailed by the Civil War reached the appalling maximum of nearly three thousand mil lions of dollars. The American people were inexperienc ed in such business, they had never known the incubus before. Europe hail known it, but not America. For a long time the public debt of the nation had been so small as to be disregarded; now all of a sudden the terrible existancies of the war, the debt expanded and settled over the If ndscape like a cloud from Vesuvious, darkening from shore to shore. So far as the people and the government were concerned it was an honest debt. The method and intent of Lincoln and the great men around him in 1862-63 were as sincere and just as they were hu mane and patriotic, as for the American people, they were always honest. The nation was in deepest peril, and must be rescued at whatever cost. The war was a devouring demon, with the explosion of every shell, the product of a hundred toiling hands was instantly vaporized, for the bomb is not filled, as many suppose with powder and iron and death, but with the potatoes and milk and biscuit ol man tine!. At intervals the expenditure was more than a million, and sometimes more than two millions of dollars a day. The government had nothing of its own, did not venture to take anything as its own, and must therefore support itselt by bonds or perish. Confoiming to the method of the age, the nation borrowed from the accumulat.ons of the rich, and gave therefore its promis s to pay. The promises to pay got themselves in to a bond. It is the order of modern so ciety that he who has money to lend to him who has not, recieves his own with usury. This principle was adopted by the American republic in the day of trial, The means necessary for the prosecu tion of the war were not taken —as the life was taken—but were borrowed. It was an epoch of borrowing, a great part of the lending was patriotic, but much of it, even at the first, was interested and was mixed with contrivance and ulterior designs. The currency that had to be provided to meet the startling emergency that had overtaken the American people was the process of debt inakinj* had acquired so great momentum that it was difficult to get it checked and reversed. In the early summer of 1865 the sob diers ot the Union army were mustered out and remanded to their hemes. By August the work was done, and the grand army was no more, but such was the con fusion that for fully six months longer the expenditure rolled on without abate ment. The great question which com frouted the nation at the beginning of 1866 was the management of the debt. There were bonds galore; a seven-thirty series of two hundred and fifty millions, by Act July 17, 1861, then five hundred and fifteen millions of five-twenties, by Act of February 25, 1562, becoming more than twelve hundred millions by subse quent issues, then ten-forties in several series 7.3 per cents, 5 per cents, 4.5 per cents, 4 per cents; plain bonds at the nrst and coin bonds finaal. Short loans and long loans and longer loans, but always becomes longer, until a measure of calm ensued, and the nation found opportun ity to take account of its losses and con sider the question of payment. If governments had the same care for the life of the people as for the property of those vho possess property. Then national would not be made, or at least not prepetuated by the event of war. It had been an act of infinite mercy 011 the part of the Government of the United States in tliat day to take directly what ever was necessa^*—as it did take what ever men were necessary—for the sup pression of the rebellion. That course would have ended it. Had that almost unprcedented policy been temperately and successfully pursued, in the nature of the case, made to be a legal tender in the payment of debts. The Government must needs have such a money. All metallic money —as is its inveriable habit under such circumstances —slunk away and hid itself in dark coffers, mostly be yond the sea. What did gold caie foi liberty, for the waste of human life, for the republic, for the Union made sacred bv the blood of our fathers? It was intended by those who first con trived the legal tender currency that it should be absolute motley in the payment of all debts of whatever kind. The Su preme Court of the United States has since decided by a voice of eight to one that Congress possesses the right and power to make such a money, whether in war or peace. The validity of the legal tender act is now as much a part of the constitutional history of the United States as is the abolition of African slavery, but they who were skillful in their own interests, even in the throes of our national break-up and impending castrophe, adroitly con trived that the national currency should have an exception in its favor of those who should lend their means to the gov ernment. They who should make such loan should receive therefore a I>ond, and the interest on the bond as also the duties on imports of foreign goods was exempt from the legal tender of paper and re served for coin. Thus came the bonded debt of the United States. The debt grew with the progress of the war, until it seemed to approach infinity. The nation swayed and struggled through the bloody sea, and came at last to the shore; the cost of the war would hardly have been one-fiftli of what is has become, the bond would never have existed, the wealth of the people would never have existed, the wialth of the people would not have been concentrated in the hands of a few, the present harrowing and dangerous conditions of American life.
