Kx-Governor Wells has not yet issued bis proclamation, nor will he issue it, though there is no question that about the first of July a grand coup d’éat was meditated, which in- cluded in its audacious scope the reassumption by theex- Governor of his gubernatorial functions aud the re- habilitatien in toga of official dignity of the whole borde of ex-Confederate officials.
