RIcuMoND, VA, March 19.-This
afternoon Gen. Candy interfcred in
the municipal troubles, by sending
u guard Of soldiers and raising the
seigc at the Lower Station-housc,
and giving free egress and ingress
to all having business there. This
action, he says, has no reference to
the question of the Mayorality, but
is taken purely as precaution
against any act Of disorder or vic,
lenco. This action is applauded by
tho friends of Cahoon, and protested
against by Ellison as an unwarrant-
able interference with the civil laws
of the State. When the military
took possession of the station house
Mayor Elison's police left, and be-
ing stoned by the crowd of colored
men, charged them. About fifty
shots were fired and two or three
colored men were wounded. Affairs
have since quoted down. To-mor-
row both Mayors will have q police
force on the streets and hold indie
pendent courts. Trouble is appre-
hended. The Council is in session
tor light, considering what shall be
done. .r
The City Council tonight passed
an ordinance abolisning the station
house now ia the hands of Cahoon's
police, authorizing Mayor Ellison
to call out the fire brigade as police,
pledging the city to pay all special
police sworn in by Ellison, authoriz-
ing the City Court to be held in the
City Hall and pledging Mayor Eli
son the earnest support Of the City
Council in his efforts to maintain
the peace of the city against the law
less men who are conspiring against
it. The city is quiet this afternoon.
The casualties of the day have
been, ono man killed and three
wounded. Cahoon has his head
quarters at the lower station house,
where the military guard is. Eli
sons headquarters are at the City
Hall. Ellisons police patrol the city
