From the Cincinnati Commercial March 35i
The city of Cincinnati WIS disgraced last
night BY mob: The Mayor was warned dur
ing the day that there was purpose on the
part Of a gang Of ruf1i2cs 10 commit a breach
Of public order ut the Opera House in the
evening, but he entirely dkregarded the warn
ing, and when the mob tas doing its work,
not 4 policeman Was at hand, as the whole
force had been carefully ordered elsewhere. A
policeman Was hunted up BY gentleman, and
requested to go to the house and attempt to
preserve order. He replied that he had been
told by Mayor Hatch to keep away, and not
go near the scene Of the rfot during the eveu-
ing. The Mayor is clearly guilty Of acquies-
cling in the mob, and is mem enough to have
insiigated it.
The mob was composed Of the vi1est class
Of our population. The lowest Of the gamb-
lers, the plmps, the thieves those whose
trade is to rob the public, as well ss private
| pilferers-the whisky. b1oats-the bul1ies in
ward elections-the foulest mouthed Of the
sccesh sympathisers-Were out ia full force,
| tickets having been procured for them By
! wholesaie, and distributed through all the
sink holes Of the city. We believe 1t can be
| snbstantilted that FIVE hrEdred tickets were
| given away in places and to persons of the
worst repute, for tie express purpose Of rais-
ing mob.
Near fifteen hundred gentlemen and ladies
psld for their tickets that they might hear a
man who is confessedly one Of the first schol-
ars and orators in the country, and at the same
time contribute to a noble charity; They wcre
insulted, grossly, indccent1y, and their persons
placed in peril, by q gang Of cowardl{ miscre-
ants, and it is not the fault Of our infamous
Mayor and his inaolent polite, that our beau
tifu1 opera house was not the scene of bloody
tragedy rs well as ofa burning disgrace. Its
we'll known to our readers that We do not SYM

Of which he is the ablast exponent. It
