! DAYTON TEE MORNING AFTER TIE MOB.
Correspondence Cincinnati Daily Commercial
t DATTos, Mar 9Th, 1868.
This morning everything is quiet, and c1ti-
zens arc going to their business as usual.
Those who are we'll acquainted with the peo-
| pie OF the city, and saw the rioters last nirht,
cay that there were few, if any, respectable
citizens Of Dayton among them. They seemed
] 10 be . low class Of men from tue suburbs
aud country Villages in the vicinity; though
they we're evidently countcnanccd and encour-
aged By Ill true Vallandighamers, as he had
set the example for them in the morning by
i attempting to resist 4 lawful and orderly ar-
| rest.
One Of the proprictors of the Journal office.
the editor, and TITO or three boys, were the
only persons in the Office when 1t was attack
| ed, and they were not armed No proyoca-
ton was given for the Outrage; the paper is-
Fued in the morning contained nothing of a
fpecial character to excite hostility; it was
simply deliberate and premcditated assault,
having been talked Of all day, even to the
firing Of the building. Yc:, in view Of this
state Of things, Mayor Gillespie went down to
Cincinnati aud left the city, whose peace
and order he was elected to preserve, to
he disgraccd by unprecedented violence. I
am assured that the buttcrnut owner Of the
Journal building was consulted by the riot
| crs to IFS destruction, and that he told them
| to do IS they rleased with it. The man who
set the Office IN fire is known, and will be ar
rested n ne my of9f T,o
who Will do It. The whole city government
Is In the lands Of the butternuts, and no at
tempt Was made by any officer or policeman
to STOP OF to detect the parties engaged In the
| active In firing q cannon early in the evening,
| for the purpose Of "flsipg the hearts y Of tie
! mob to engage fn their cowardly work.
LOSSES Br THE F1RE.
The loss of the journal establishment is cs-
tiniated at $}2, coo. Nothing whatever was
saved. The account books were in the safe,
and it was lying in the smoking ruins yester-
day morning having been in the fire 50 long,
that il Was doubtful whether they we're not
reduced to ashes.

almost total loss, was valued at 5000.
