Among the names signed, we notice that of the
distinguished John Y. l.. Mcmahon, an eminent
lawyer. So that it may be judged that matters
have reached an insuffernble condition in that
city. The municipal election was the browning
act of long course of blood and violence, of
ruff1an misrule, after which sort of despair
and desperation seems to have settled upon the

Organized bands of conspirators and outlaws
have usurped open mastery over important de-
partments of industry; controlling the owners
of property in the exercise of their rights over
it as well as in the employment of labor in con-
nection with it, and driving humble and peace
full men from the lawful field of their honest
livelihood and toll. Outtages, by day and night
upon unoftending citizens; robberies on the
public highways; savage assaults upon voters
while vainly attempting to exercise the right
of suffrage; murders of men,, at their own
hearths and in the streets-have become the
