The crowd is gradually thinning of on account


4.7
o'clock this evening just after the President had
retired from the balcony of the Bates House, quite
a brisk shooting affair took place. crowd of
| radicals, who had evidently organized and assem-.
bled for the purpose, attacked the torch bearers
of the procession which had accompanied the
deavorfng to wrest from them an Irish standard
which they carried.
This was nothing more nor less than manifesto
ton of the real animus of the radicals against
Fenianism in particular, and people Of foreign
| descent or connections generally.
The assault led to a lively skirmish, in the course
of which there were several people knocked
down. a few pistol shots were fired, and two per.
| sons were wounded-one in the knee and another
in the eye. In half an hour after this affair had
apparently been quelled another fracas occurred,
in the course Of which one old man was killed
outright, being wosnded by three balls
Mr.. Stsgg, the reporter of the Louisville Jour
nal, was struck in the hand by ball.
| No soldiers or policemen were present to pre-
vent such shameful proceedings.
! These outbreaks are the subject Of general and
excited conversation. General Grant pronounces
them most dizgraceful.
The President did not hold public reception,
ani retired at IN early hour.
The crowd dispersed about ten O'clock and
from that time tAe city has remained quiet
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 11.-Aster the dsaraceful
conduct Of the mob at indianapolis last night, the
radical mob held meeting, at which the most
violent and incendiary remarks, were made, with
out qualification or restraint. The efforts of
these nalignants, however, proved a signal fail
ure. Nobody would respond to their bitterness.
The President addressed the assembled people
in front Of the Bates House, and appeared to thor
oughly overawe the consprators By the fearless
manner in which he criticised their conduct. His
remarks were received with continued plaudits,
both at the hotel and at the station to which he
made his way this morning.
Mr.. Seward also made some observations which
were listen to with the most respectful atten-
ton.
