The city is perfectly quiet. There is
nothing to Indicate the events which
transpired yesterday. Not single case
of violence occurred during the night.
Each side are exceedingly reticent in
regard to their intentions. atitsl
Gov. Packard states that there is no
change in the situation since last eve.
The senate still wants one to make the
| quorum complete. Ex-Gov. Kellogg
and u; s. Marshal Pitkin are very ret
icent and have declined to give any in
| formation as to their lines of policy or
intentions.
Last evening Marshal Pitkin inform

house, Gen. Augur Immediately COM
municated with Gov. Nichols, and
stated. through a staff officer that this
must be stopped. Gov. Nichols said
it was not by his order, and directions
were then given which caused such ar
rangements to be made that there were
no restrictions on any person either en-
tering or leaving the state house. Mich
oils police patrolled the streets last
night and looked around pretty lively,
but made few or no arrests.
A train of cars from Mobile brought
in several companies of. United States
troops at eleven O'Clock last night.
The Republican in an editorial on the
affair of yesterday, says: AS we have
at present, no government in this state
whose authority is undisputed, and as
there are two or three congressional
committees trying to find the truth
about the late election, perhaps the
| president may deem it his duty to es-
tablish martial law till such time, If
ever, as congress shall come to some
conclusion and agreement in the prem
ises. Such step would at least give to
the business community season of
peace, such as they understand it, in
stead of sounds of war alarms and the
tramp of armed men that all day yes
terday resounded through the streets of
the city. Though we are tolerably
well seasoned to popular commotions
here, there is preference on the part
the majority of our people for govern
ment of any kind strong enough to
maintain itself over the uncertainties
necessary and incident to two armed
hostile forces in the same camp.
