on Saturday before the the hon, Mr Jas C Calhoun was arrested & confined in the guard house a few days, and then released on Bond not to leave the city limits, Mr C had been made sheriff to fill out an unexpired term of Mr Richard Bacon and was a candidate for that office, a man by the name of stout a lawyer nominated the night before Mr C arrest; by a secret political association existing here, Mr C is an experienced sheriff, an inteligent gentlman & will make a first rate officer, and we do verry much require a good sheriff. I have never heard him charged with any disloyal act. he has been truly a law abiding and & peaceful citizen.

Verry respectfully Your obt Servt J Campbell

Gov Bramlett Frankfort Ky
