CINCINNATI, March 30.-At daylight
this morning an Associated Press reporter
walked through that quarter of the city
where the stormy scenes of the previous
night had been enacted. The dawning
was as peaceful and brilliant as was ever
seen. Against an exquisitely tinted
eastern sky the broken walls of the burn
ing court house were distinctly defined
with their crumbling window openings
looking ike ragged wounds. Over the
ruins Of the t~reasurer's office, in the
northern part of the building, the ruddy
glow of the fire was still visible, while from
other portions of the edifice n thin, white
colored smoke and steam was rising, as
the water which was thrown from the
engines fell into the burning contents.
Last night when the sun went down, the
occupants of the t%reasurer's office were
sitting at the open plate-glass windows,
smoking cigars and reading the accounts
of the previous nights attempt on the
Jail, and there was no thought that in six
hours these windows would be broken and
the accumulated wealth and contents of
the great building would be in ruins. But
this building, great as was its loss, was
merely property. The other losses in that
locality were of human life. Only pools
of blood here and there in the trampled
dust or on the brick sidewalks were to be
seen. Only one hour before, on Sycamore
street, below Court, hay four or FIVE dead
bodies of some drunken and venturesome
men, who, despite the policeman's warn
ing, had gone beyond the limit which was
permitted by the militia, where they fell
under the fire of the military, No one
dared to go and take them away, till the
mob had dispersed, and the streets were
clear. Pool after pool of blood dyed the
ground all along the curbstone. All along
the street the signs of blood were visible,
and in a hallway, three squares distant,
the floor was smeared with blood where
some poor unfortunate had crawled to
dress his wounds ort to die. .r- -H.
THE NcENDIARY TORCH.
The burning of the Court House was
wholly aimless, and malicious, except as
one might find at excuse in the feeling
that the crowd was angered at the place
where the failure 70 do justice had beer
50 marked. 1t did not aid at all in get
ting at the prisoners, or in doing harm t.
the militia. 1t was purely wanton. No
was there any excuse in the failure to pro
tect this property. The crowd was per
mitted to go to every window, and breal
