Situation in RichmOnG-klll80n'
Police in Possession Of the City.
RICHMoND. March 19.-GoyernoI
Walker to-day addressed a letter to
Gen. Canby. and after stating the fact
that the military force had been In.
terfered with to prevent the Mayor Of
the city, elected and qualified accord
ing 60 law, from performing the du-
ties of that Office In the seeming in
tention of enabling a mere pretendeT
to that Office to discharge his duties,
he asserts that this action was
taken without the request of the Leg
islature or the civil authorities of the
State, and asks by what law Or author
ity Gen. Candy does this. Candy re-
piled that his interference was not
to aid either contestant, but only TO
prevent a breach of the peace, and his
authority for such action was from
the Pesident and Secretary of War,
and his duty was to do so until order
was restored.
At daylight, this morning, when
MAYOR Cahoon's police were being
stationed, Mayor Ellison's police went
around and arrested them all: They
stripped them of badges and disarmed
them. Three of Cahooa's force, who
were not caught, took refuge in the
station house. At noon the second
police station surrendered to Ellison's
police.
Early this morning. the United
States Marshal served notice on
Ellison, Chief of Police, and City
Council, that Cahoon would move be-
fore Judge Underwood of the United
States Court, Wednesday next, for
Injunction to restrain them from act
ing.
Cahoon held court this morning, as
also did Ellison. No disturbance.
Cahoon's force, reduced TO about
thirty men. is shut up in station
house, and Ellison's force, numbering
about 25O. have possession of the city.
Later.-City quiet tonight, with
Ellison In general possession, except
at the third STATEN house, where
Cahoon has his headquarters. About
forty men, whites and coloTed, were
with him. A large crowd of colored
men were gathered around the. build
ing all the evening None of Ca
hoon's police can appear on the street
without being captured. There is no
prospect of further collision between
the opposing parties. Ellison's po-
lice number about 200 men, besides
an armed force of 100 held in re-
serve. At two meetings of the citi-
zens tonight, it was resolved to sup
port Ellison.

reply to General Canby's letter, in

any authority in the orders issued by

CHICAGO, March 19.-The Commit
tee appointed by the Chicago bar to
investigate and repor as to the safety
of all the Court IIoUse and wings,
met this morning Col. Evans, chair
man Of the committee, said they had
prepared a report, which be read,
prefacing it with some remarks rela
tive to the present condition of the
Court House. lie had examined the
building personally, and was satisfied
that the old building needed other
supports than those it now had; that
in its presehs condition it was unsafe,
and persons inside of it were daily
and hourly in danger of being crushed
fby the falling of some portion
of the structure. Evans then read
the report of Mr.. Randall, architect,
which was in the shape of replies to
answers. In reply to the question
whether the floors were likely
to give way, he replied that
he had not positively deter
mined. %he joists were spring,

whether the foundations OF the new
wings are safe, Randall answered en-
phatically, " No, they were insufficient
to support beyond the contingency of
such an accident such a superstruct-

which rests upon posts; also the re

which combined more completely
the elements of self-destruction than
the present one.
Judge Bradwell said he had ex-
amined the roof with four architects,
and they came to the unani-
nous opinion that the roof was
liable to come down at any
moment. One architect said that
blow from cold chisel
could knock down a column that
would let down the whole east wing.
After hearing more evidence to the
same purport, the committee ad-
journed. without taking any action.
