state Of the CITY ana Results Of the Conflict.
The bloody conflict of Monday has been sue
ceeded by a quietude scarcely TO be expected
after such a storm of popular passion. With
the exception of few attempts Or designs to
break the peace described in the dispatches which
we subjon, from the subordinate officers of the
police to the chief, there has been disturbance
of public tranquility. The hundreds of negroes
who paraded the streets on Monday, armed with
bludgeons, ostentatiously exhibited, are no longer
seen defantly provoking public indignation, and
the people both white and black, are settling
down to peaceful condition.
The police receive merited encomums on all
hands from the people for their steady, cool and
unfinchiHg courage, and from the prisoners they
took for the cbigalrous manner in which they
shielded them from popular indignation at the
hazard Of their own lives
The city is still under martial law. Mr. Monroe
has declined to act as mayor under the dictation
of military authority. The Board Of Assistant Al
dermen, Which was to have met last evening to
consider the matter Of impeaching Recorder Ven
nard viii not meet until civil authority is re-eatab-
lighed The recorders and the police COZ
tinue to perform their functions, under the super
vision and direction Of the military governor OF
, the city.
It is impossible yet to arrive at the exact pum-
ber of the casualties Of the riot on Monday.
Twenty two deaths, black and white, are all we
can sum up. There were many more wounded,
and death may be the consequence in many OF
), these cases. A large number Of wounded negroes
were taken to the Marine Hospital, and are well
cared for there.
DR.. Dostie was still living yesterday. He was
visited during the day by Colonel Dewitt Clinton
A. A. G., and Recorder Ahern for the purpose Of
obtaining his dying declaration. Judge Heistand
( now acting as United States commissioner in the
place of Mr.. Shannon, was also present
and prepared voluminous document as the
declaration Of the doctor. Colonel Clinton ant

This ended the examination of Daunoy, when
