If this power ex- ists and it be exercised so as to in- stall a candidate defeated at the polls then itis clear that a majority yotes does not constitute an election in Kentucky. The executive department is no longer chosen by the people, but the legislature, the power of the for- mer being limited to placing that of ; the latter in motion.

The was signed last night in Louisville by democrats rep- resenting Beckham, Goebel’s succes- sor, and by Taylor's lieutenant governor and other gentlemen who represent the republican party. The news of the agreement was re- ceived with great relief in Frankfort. the strain of the last ten days has been very great, and any lessening of tension was most welcome to mem- bers of both parties. Not a single member of the legislature, democrat or republican, is in the city, and none is expected before late in the after- noon or to-morrow. Gov. Taylor refused to discuss the agreement until it had been brought He said it was neither right nor courteous for him to do so. It is generally believed that Gov- ernor Taylor will accept the agree- ment. “TAYLOR, YOU Frankfort, Ky., d‘sposition to agreement ARE WRONG.” Feb. 6.—Taylor’s surrender was no sassination among our political meth- | reached the Frankfort station.
