The Eerald says:
TIE reign of violence and boodshed continued all day

of the SUSPENSION OF the draft seemed 10 have

bars of lives were sacrificed, whilst immense amount

driven out and hanged, just as on the two previous

THE DISTURBANCE CONTINUES
In It's editorial department the Herald has the follow
log;
There was little abatement In the display Of violence
mari sted by the excited people throush the city
Yesterday Notwithstanding the order OF the Mayor,
annourc ng that peace restored and the procama-
ton Of Governor Seymour, invoking the infatuated
crowd 10 retire TO their homes promising protection to

pie seemed de- psrste than ever and the military
force employed though strong, were repused i'll differ

was undoubtedly alarming and appalling.
There can be no doubt that authority had, for the
time to succomb to popular passion. Private property
suffered terribly from iocendarism, principally in the
HOUSES OF the negroes. Up to a long time past mid
night the city presented appearance which seemed to
moderate tho hopes entertained in the morning, that
the trouble at an end. Wewll trust however, II
the love of order which failed to alay popular
iumult in this city, will prevail the spasmodic
tement which, for the time, dsurbs the usual peace
funess Of our me ropolis.
Now, that the draft has been positively suspended,
there docs seem 10 be any why those who
felt themselves aggrieved by its enforcement shot Id
lend further ad to & e dsturbers of the peace and
thus give color 10 movement which must necessarily
bresove itself into IA upon private property and in

and will, doubt, be hereafter dep'ored equally by
those who inct the suffering and by those who suffer.
