sponse to q call for mass meeting on
Canal street this morning to protest
against the seizure of arms of private
citizens, men began to assemble at 10
o'clock and by IL o'clock the sidewalks
of the great square were filled. There
seems to be a general suspension of
business at this hour-noon. Ad-
dresses are being delivered from the
base of Clay statute. The meeting
adopted resolutions requesting imme-
diate abdication of Gov. Kellogg and a
committee of citizens composed of r.
H. Marr, Chairman. Jules Tuges, S.
e. Chapman, Sam Bell and j. M.
Seixous was appointed to wait on the
Governor. The Governor declined to
receive any committe from a meeting.
The people responded to advice
given them by DIR. Beard, one of
the speakers at the meeting, and by
3 O'clock armed men were stationed
at the intersection of all streets on
the south side of Canal street from
the river to Claiborn street. About
P. NJ. o body of metropolitans about
500 strong, with cavalry and artillery,
appeared at the head of Canal street
and took position. Gen. Longstreet,
commanding, accompanied by an or
derly, then rode up and down Canal
street, ordering armed citizens to dis
perse. Some desultory firing COM
menced soon after along this street.
8P. NJ. - The streets above Canal
street are well filled with armed citi-
zens. The impression now prevails
that no further attempt will be made
by the metropolitans to disperse their
opponents who handled them so
roughly this afternoon. The city is
quiet and no further conflict is appre-
hended before morning. Most of the
barricades are made with street cars.
Six or eight citizens and twenty or
thirty metropolitans where killed in
the fight this afternoon, and many
were wounded on both sides.
MIDNIGHT-The list of casualties to
citizens in the fight to-day foots up six
killed and five seriously, and twelve
fatally wounded. The metropolitans'
loss was seven killed and thirty-seven
wounded. Among the citizens killed
was Capt. ]. M. West and Major J. X.
Dourtain.
