At half-past one Superintendent Badger, to
whom your reporter applied for permit to
visit the prisoners, stated that the trouble was
oil over and no further difficulty apprehended
by the police authorities, and yielded oheerfully
to the request. The HERALD reporter then
repaired to the Central Police. Station, in the

peared, they were there awaiting the sigma
lures of bondsmen previous to release.
Upon being questioned Speaker Moncure
stated as follows :-''I went to the hall half
hour before the time for assembling, fearing
an attempt upon the part of the police, and
saw them approach across the square. I
could easily have walked out of the building,

hall and arrested me, with the other gentle
men you see here. demanded their authority,
when they exhibited an order signed by General
Longstreet who holds no civil authority in
this State We were then marched over,
guarded by q hundred men, and incarcerated
in one of the cells up stairs, q dirty, loath-
some, lousy, felon's dungeon, the stencil of
which made us all sick. We remained there
for an hour, when We were brought down

ARMED AND READY FOB FIGHT.
The station was strongly barricaded and
garrisoned with armed police, who preserved
q stolid and Indifferent demeanor to the sur
rounding excitement. A largo crowd is now

plated by the McEnery government save the
reassembling of the Legislature at two o'clock
at the st. james Hotel.
THE BACKBONE OF THE REBELLIoN'' BROKEN
Evidently the backbone of the McEnery
government is broken; spirit of demoraiiza-
ton has set in, and SO far Kellogg appears to
have all his own way. He has spent the
morning at the State House in company with
General Longstroet and leading radical poii-
clans, all of whom ore much elated.
THE FUNERAL OF THE VICTIMS
The two men killed last night are to be
buried to-day. No disturbance is apprehended
at their funerals.
THE ARRESTED LEGISLATORS TO BE INDICTED
The day which opened so threateningly
has passed off quietly enough. All excite
ment seems to have disappeared with the pub
lies dinner, and disposition is already mani
tested to accept the situation. The arrested
members of the Legislature have all been
released, although indictments are being
framed against them under the Ku Klux law.
Only a few of the rioters are yet held in du-
rance. The
NAMES OF THOSE ARREgrED
are as follows August Pedro, George VIII
