First, to sign the Louisville agreement, the second, to quietly with? draw the troops, allow the legislature to reooovene in the oapital in Frankfort, to call off the session now beiog held in London and to igoore the Louisville agreement entirely. Several speeches were made and it was soon aopareot that the sentiment of the gathering was very strongly in favor of the second course aod this was adopted.
