I ties had two hundred police and q detacl-
ment OF guards stationed around tbs LeglsT
latiye Hail. while the Speaker had two hum
dred colored troops from General Emery sta
toned at the Custom House. Just as the
Legislature was aboutto assemble, the United

the arrest of Governor Yarmouth, Lieuten-
ant Governor Pinchheck, four Senators and
seventeen members of the House, and tho
Superintendent. and two Captains OF the POI
lice, the warrants having been sworn out be-
fore a United States Commissioner, under

RocHrsrkR, N. Y. :, Jan.2.--The excitement
over The rape OF little girl by negro named
Howard, finally eliminated IN bloodshed.
An immense crowd surrounded the Jail this
evening, frantic over the report that the child
had died of injuries. The evening papers
published the evidence against Howard,
whicl, is conclusive of his guilt. The police
surrou: tled the jail. and the military assem-
blea at fhe armory. 'she police finally dis

| p. M, while the crowd were yelling on The
corner Of Court and Exchange streets, the
military fired volley into them, killing two
men, Jno. Etter and Henry Me,low, and .
boy whose name was not learned, and
uounding Jnn Hilbert, shot through the leg
1t is reported that a woman was also shot
but this proved to be unfeunded. The ex.
element redoubled and the people rushed
crowd asserted that the firing was unneces-

obliged to shoot in self-defense, as they were
being pelted with stones. From the testi-
mony Of the police who were eye witnesses
to the affair, the statement Of tho military
appears to be untrue. The men killed were
mere spectators and not participating in the
mob. Etter was a highly respectable and in
tuential German citizen. The feeling against
the military is Intense, and it is feared there
will be more hloodshed before morning. The
colored people sre fleeing from their houses,
as it is not deemed safe for them to be seen

placed around the Jail.
Y II D. m. There does not seem to be any
movement for further attack on the jail
Five companies of militia are now guarding
the Jail and the streets Leading thereto. In

Nolan was fatally wounded, and Elias S.

wound. The CAPTAIN of the military dis
