Wednesday, February 7. - 1900 BULB OF THE KIFLE IN KENTUCKY. While J he Republican Senator! in Washington ate calling ijenators traitors because the accused Senators do not agree with the administration ? ?)>n.r ib? Phillininp* ftt the yviivj V4 >MV moot ho? cannoo^Republicans in Kentucky are engaged in a conspiracy to rale and terrorize that State by the use of the rifle. Ttie shooting of Goebel, the Democratic Governor, for the pnrpose of disponing of his title to the office, has shocked tbe whole nation. The circa instances at this distance teem to lead irresistibly to tbe conclcuiou that tbe attempted assassination was deliberately planned, and i? the re6nit of a well laid and planned conspiracy by the Republicans. The conspirators likely ioclade many of the prominent Republican leaders of ihe State, and fro<& bis condnct we ma?t couclode that Governor Taylor, himself, the Repnb'isan contestant for t be office of Governor, either participated in ihe conspiracy or was folJy cognizant of it. The shooting of Mr. Goebel would bare been deplorable hid it *lmpljr been (be act of some hot headed fool, but when it appears to have been the plot of those high in the Republican councils of the State, it is worse, and makes U3 doubt whether the people of that State are fit to gorern themselves. The eviileuee is strong against Taylor and hi* lieutenants. Mr. Goebel was ou bis why to the State capitol in Frankfort, sad a n amber of shots were Sred from different directions, as the woandrd man lay on the ground, and the evidence siows that some of tbe shots, very likely tbe fatal thot, came from the buildirg where tbe leading Republicans were quartered. The faet that smokeless pewder was ased fchowg planning. Tne accurate aim shews that a crack shot had been carefully selected for the awful work. Ctrefal plans had been made to prevent the discovery and arrest of tb? jg- assassin. When it became know* *V i the shot, which strock Mr. ( ieoe! ^? came from o?e of the building' netr the capitoi, the bn;ldiug w surrounded witb a view of saptnrxL * the villain, but "groups 01 asoautam, :r?, who stood in tbe doorways holding Winchester rifles is their bands and presenting an aspect so uninviting that mo attempt wu mide to search tbe building for several- miuntes after the shooting had been done, and tbe assassin bad ample time to escape." Why were these mountaineers at this building with Winchesters? How did it happen thai the assassin was so securely guarded? And we believe it was stated teat brov, rayior mmseix was in this building. We firmly be* lieve'.hat tbe shooting ofGoebel tra? a well calculated and conceived plan of tbe Republican* to prevent bis being made Governor, and we farther believe that tbe Republican leaders had a band in tbe conspiracy. Governor Taylor seizUg the opportnnity immediately ordered oat the m&litia under the pretext of desiring to maintain O! der, but bis subsequent conduct shows that the militia were to be n-ed to carry oat the rest of the Republican program. He adjourned the legisla< tare. Who ever heard of a Governor of a State orderiug the legialatnre to adjoara," a power enpyed only by kings? Bat this was the plan Governor Taj !orTa militia when ordered oat fitaply followed ibe Democratic legh; lators around and prevented them from lawfully assembling a< a legslatire body--doubtless the rea> obj-ct of calling oat the militia He then orders the legislature to meet Id Lo;?d>n, a small town among the mountaineers and strong Republicau eoantv.

The Republicans lost the sympathy of a 1 conservative citizens io the country ? by thair defiance of all law aud *rd? r. ? When the coarts become powerless u < euforce its judgments tben Republican institmton* are at an end, and that is about what bas happened iu Kentucky.

The Fairfield Cotton Mills have dec]ared?a dividend of three and onehalf per ceit. This is a very good t>howingr,| and the stockholders are very Jmuch gratified.
