1 INTERESTING II v.k BRADLEY MEANS BUSINESS. Tho CloTernor I. Determined to Restore reace In Clay County of Coit. Fiuskfoht, June 18. Gov.

Bradley has not the power to declare martial law In tho county of Clay, where a reign of terror exists as the re- suit of the assassination of Tom Baker last Saturday, but he intends to restore order there, regardless of cost. The governor received a letter Friday afternoon from Circuit Judgo oio ucnying uiai no nau, as re ported, adjourned court at Manchester because of tho fear of personal violence. Tho judge says that court was idjourncd because ho realized that ustico could not bo meted out with '-flairs in such chaotic condition. He lays that ho Will hold a special session in Clay within tho next few weeks. The troops will probably be sent back then.

If order can not bo restored and those under indictment tried, a special session of tho legislature would bo the July remedy. Under tht. present Kentucky law tho governor can not even appoint a special judgo until tho regular judgo has refused to sit and tho circuit clerk notifies him that tho of tho bar have fai'cd to elect. In Clay county tho circuit clerk is a member of tho White faction, and, if Judgo Cvcrsolo should dcclino to sit, ho ivould practically have tho selection of his Successor. If an extra session tvero held the county of Clay would iithcr bo abolished and divldc'd up joining counties, tho would bo given power to appoint ipecial judges at will and special Jrand juries from other counties to go to a lawless county and investigate ind find tho indictments.
