The yice-PoIice.
AS soon as il was known that the police force was
suspended, and that Col. kenly would Immediately
organize new force, hundreds of persons hurried
to the MarshaPs office, and Holiday street was
thronged. Col. Kenly had much difficulty in keep
ing the Office clear, so urgent the press for p0
sitioIs. large number Of the applicants were
members of the old Know-Nothng Municipal
force, and msuy of them Immediately ap-
pointed to positions which they formerly filled.
The following parties have been appointed as
captains of Police By the Provost Marshall
Southern Disrict-John w. Woods, a former
captain under Mayor Swami.
Western District.-John l.. Bishop, at present a
constable of the Fourteenth Ward.
! Middle Distrjct.-Jos oseph Mitchell, former captain
under Mayor Swami.
Eastern District.-ThomGs C. James, late War
! den of the JAIL under Mayor Swaun.
Each OF these captains has authority from the
| Provost Marshal to appoint one hundred good and
lnyaP' citizens as patrolmen. Their insignia of
| office is piece of blue red tape in the button
| hole.
Captain Owens, late deputy warden of the Jail,
has in charge corps at the office of Col.
! Kenly.
During the afternoon there we're large number
| of applications for appointments as policemen, and
IN great number of instances the applicants were
| former policemen under Mayor Swami. The num-
ber Of applicants was fully thousand. At ten
O'Clock at night hundreds still fingered in front of
the station houses, still hoping that they would get
| appointments. 1t is needless to add that a large
| majority of them not fit to fill any position
| much less to be preservers of the peace. At the
Middle District staton-house a rough looking fell
| low came in, and he entered the door, cried out
| "Ain't glad to the old police back" Ad-
| dressing one of the men behind the railing, he sad
'Lieutenant, put me on Pm one OF the old native
| force"
| Throughout the day the statinn-houses were
the resort of rough and dsnrderly characters, who
appeared to be especially delighted to witness the
return of the "reign of terror" There seemed to
be no head or front to anything. All the old row
dies with which the city had been cursed in former
days seemed to have sprung up if by magic.
During the afternoon an individual named Will
Iiams calling himself Deputy Marshal, stood upon
the corner of Baltimore aud South streets and did
considerable talking about order he had receiv-
ed to appoint five hundred deputies to assist him in
Keeping the peace, but we were unable to learn
that he appointed any one, he appeared to be
making as mucn noise as any of those who were
standing about the corner.
Scenes on the Streets
Up to two O'clock order was preserved on the
streets: The police were active in suppressing
everything which tended in the slightest to excite
p dis uibance. When the police disbanded il
soon became evident that the city would be given
up to riot. This state of affairs was not long in
q being realized. The crowds at the Intersection o.
baltimore and North streets grew denser; and tn
Black Republicans soon became riotouS. The
Southern party dispersed and kept quiet. The feH
1 VINO remained were soon singled out and severa
: of them attacked and knocked down. In some
cases they were badly beaten. From three to 81,
; o'clock the crowd swayed to ard fro cheering fol
the Union and calling their opponents hard names
5 man named John G. Hooper made hmsel
rather conspicuous by his attempts to create riot
lie lnsuIted various gentlemen upon the street, anC
appeared to be determined to create a disturbance
though some of his friends finally carried him off
, This man was, under Mayor SWAMI one of thu
r commissioners for opening streets.
# Another fellow named Davis, who wore the uni
e form of Lieutenant of the Maryland Fedora
, troops was nearly all day in the vicinity of Sout
h and Baltimore streets. He was quite drunk, an
"a several times threatened to his sword throu
!, any "damned Secessionist." The ''loyap' conser
d vatives of the peace, however, did not pretend
interfere with this fellows tantrums.
The Effect Upon t..e Community.
1t would be scarcely possible for stranger
comprehend the universal feeling of gloom tn at wa
: depicted in the countenances of every decent cit
!, zen Daring the whole day it was rare to NEE
sidhsss; Wnlc6 seemed impossible either to softe
$ or to enliven.
o The Bars Closed
e During the afternoon an order issued by tn
Provost Marshal, directing that all drinking house
be closed. This order, however, was only strictl
enforced in regard to parties who were known I
b.; nave sympathy with the Southern people.
The city Last Night.
e In the early part OF the night the streets wer
ID ihFonged with peopie earnestly engaged in convel
n sation. General Banks men did net 90 on dut
le until nearly O'clock, and the crowds remained
"a the streets until nearly ten. At that hour the
commenced dispensing, and by eleven o. clock a
was quiet At each OF the station houses there W.
asreSerVe force OF from twenty to forty men, an
at Major Kenley's office force of twenty undt
Capt. Owens, but up to twelve o'clock their SCI
vices were not required.
