INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.
IL Is stated positively that for the baleful visit
20 citizens of Washington occupying prominent
positions. IL is stated that these citizens of
Washington raised the money to bring cn these
flug Uglles; sent agents to secure their ser
wees; received this crowd of hell-hounds at
the Railroad Depot; took them in charge and
PROVIDE them with an entertainment PTepara-
tory 20 the UorE of the day.
IL this be 50, does not the blood of the victims
OF the tragedy Of yesterday rest upon the heads Of
these citizens rather than upon their ignorant, be-
sotted tools, who knew no better than to do the
bloody work for which they were hired and
brought here to accomplish,
AT all events, to the presence Of these rowdies
a7e we indebted for the scenes Of Yesterday. and
the parties acting tools and leaders nav divide
the responsibility as best they can.
We must keep the fact steadily in view that
these imported bullies (why not say foreign
eTS'') had possession OF the city up to the time
the military were called out; that they Were
marching in a body from prscinct to Drecinct
Carrying HIOi-law every where in their progress

nOto-ions that they VsTs called upon and appealed

spirited gentlemen to unite and crush out the
mob, and that either through apathy or fear not
= man stirred. Ii is equally absurd to say that
the volunteer Soldiery could have responded to a
call upon them Where were the volunteers

the election precincts, or at their residences or
places of business
