By the President:
w. L. NANCY, Secret

The detestable spirit of misrule has again risen
in Cincinnati, and in this instance not only with
unchecked triumph but, we are especially sorry to
see, with the countenance of the public press of the
city. The following are the particulars which
reached US last night: .. ..-
FROM THE CINCINNATI GAZETTE OF MONDAY. ..
The defeat Of the Germans in their intentions to burn
CAJErAN BEDNI the Popes Nunco, in egy, has rerved
the American liberals to make similar effort. Accord
ingy about three hundred members assembled on va
cant lot the Of Carr and Sixth Streets On Sa
urday evening at o'clock, and forming into process.
sion marched by the watch-house and up to the Free
mems Hail. where their numbers sWeled to about four
thousand Germans and Americans. In the procession
several transparencies one "Down with Bedni, "
another side "No Popery" and on the third Pitch in
The second transparency had it "Love Liberty, and
Humanity" The efgy Of Bedini full-szed, in poa
tfcal robes and, being borne PLATFORM carried by
eight men, the chief object of attraction.
After the procession had again formed they passed
down Vine street to Ninth, Ninth to Walnut, down
Walnut to Front, Front Broadway, up Broadway
to Third Third Sycamore, up Sycamore to Fifth
out Fifth to Western Row, up Western Row to Eighth
street. BY this time the streets and sidewalks were

Cathedral the streets packed with people before the
arrival of the procession but the latter paraded by to
the city lot Immediately opposite the immense crowds

of the lot above the heads of the multitude and

don't destroy property
At this instant some drunken ruian struck Marshal
Ruffn with club and felled him to the ground. I'M
mediately there rush among the crowd to pro.
tect the marshal and to seize the who had assaed
him. Deputy Sheriff Higdon and Constable Harris caught
the man, when Of his friends attempted rescue
and in the scue which ensued Higdon received very
slight cut The violence done by single individual
and the whole crowd should not be held responsible for
The egy by this time entirely destroyed, and the
crowd began gradually to disperse and at IL o'clock the
neghborhood cleared and all again quiet The po-
