led the streets after the occurrence, and the whole city
presented scene of excitement seldom witnessed
Mayor Taylor made address TO the people from the
steps of the church on Fifth and Walnut Streets exhort-
ing them to dsperse peacaby, and promising that they
should be fully protected from violence The address
evidently had good effect and the streets became more
quit. ra.l.
THE CITY LAST EVENING .H
Was much more tranquil than might have been expect
ed There was disordery condre: the sr ets and
the rain prevented the assembling Of any large crowds
in the public places. picket guard was stationed near
the Anzeiger and Democrat tices to repel any attack
that might be made upon those establishments, though
it s but just to say that probably nonc had been medi-
tated sicce the failure Of few reckless aud thoughtess
persons on Friday evening Besides this seatiues were
placed at convenient dstanc from each other in the
lower and upper portions of the cry and every possible
oars taken to AVOID recurrence ot violent scenes
Its to b, hoped that calm Sabbath days rthection
will compose ih minds of sgitated oz ia regard
to the exciting Gs of the last tw days and that at all
events We have bad the last tf bloodshed
