CINCINNA1I'S MOB.
THE RIOT BELIEVED TO BE OVER.

No Firing Since sunday Niaht-All Quiet
Yesterday, but Preparations Tor Defence
still Progressina-some OF the Military
Ordered Home.
IBy telegraph to the DIspatch.l
As indicated in our telegraphic columns
yesterday morning. It seems that the worst
is over in Cincinnati. The fury Of the
mob had expended itself, and it now re-
mains to count the cost in blood and
property. About A. NJ. there was some
desultory firing upon the military from the
hOuse-tops, but the casualties were few.
Troops were pouring into the city all
Sunday night and yesterday, and though
threats continue IL would be worse than
madness to make any further demon
stration. BY order OF the Secretary OF
War United States troops are held
in readiness to protect Government pro-
perry. The streets are still barricadcd, and
the State troops so posted that il would be
difficult for mob TO assemble at any point.
During Sunday night a report was rife that
theTurnerS had Joined the mob. This proved
to be false, and was due 70 the fact that
a party OF rioters broke into Turner Hall,
and, possessing themselves OF the arms Of
the Society. went to the Jail and attempted
to club the military on guard at the barri-
cades. The military scared them of 10y
firing into The air. We give below the
latest os received last NIGHT.
EVERYTHING QUIET.
CINClXNATI. March 3f--9 +. M.-Eycry-
thing is quiet this morning. But very few
people are about the courthouse, and these
are there merely from curiosity. The bar
ricadcs are still in position around the Jail,
but they will probably he removed to-day
A feeling that the trouble is over peryades
the whole city.
80 RELAXATION IN PREPARING FOR DEFENCE.
CINCINNATI. March 31.-At midday there
is no appearance 81 a relaxation OF prcpa-
rations for defence. BaTricades OF barrels
and every other sort Of material still re-
main across all avenues OF approach to the
county buildings. and behind them stand
militia with fixed bayOaetS. The police
have been sent away 10 their regular posts,

general feeling is that there will be no fur
Their outbreak. There is not lacking men
who predict otherwise.
SAFETY OF COURT RECORDS.
CISCINNATI. March Silt has been
learned with great satisfaction that nearly
the entire set Of records OF the Recorders
Office, containing records Of deeds, mort
cages. etc, are saved. A person familiar
with The Office says that not more than fifty
volumes Of records are gone, covering the
transactions OF three years, about thirty
years ago. Ii is supposed that the money
in the Treasury vaults and the records i'm
the Probate Judges vaults are safe. but the
safes cannot be opened.
TIE MOB-SPIRTT APPARENTLY QUELLED.
CIXcINNATI, March 3l.-At the iai! and
city buildings everything j., in the most
complete state OF defence. Across all the
streets and alleys approaching the former
scene OF strife the barricadcS have been
strengthened and reinforced. The mob
spirit seems entirely qutllcd. and
those formerly imbued with it appear
10 stand in such wholesome fear OF
The reckless shooting OF the Soldicry
n to have had an entire sufliciency
OF rushing into the jaws Of death. The
Thirteenth and Fourteenth regiments. I'M
der command respectively Of Colonies Pr
card and Fromar, from HilIsboro' and Co.
lumbuS, seem to he considered the most
reliable. and are still on duty guarding the
barbados, the main part OF all previous
attack.
THE WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS TO BE ADVISED.
At a meeting OF the Citizens Committee
this morning the Mayor was requested 10
select an executive committee OF Gftecn
from the members at the meeting for adj
vice aud counsel, to whom all matters
should be referred. This committee was
selected. and afterwards met at the Cham
Der Of Commerce. and resolved to advise
the Withdrawal OF troops and the appoint
ment OF sufficient special police force,
it being the sense OF the meeting that
the presence OF the militia appeared to
act a Il menace to the now quoted
mob, and that the persons who composed
the latter are in reality more fearful OF Il
number OF TesOlutc, Well-organized police
than OF unframed militia. A recommends
ton embracing this view has been forward
ed to Governor IIoadly. and it is almost
certain, should no further outbreak occur,
that many OF the state troops will be home
ward-bOund by Tuesday evening.
TROOPS ORDERED BACK.
COLUMBUS, ONO, March Ex-Governor
Hoadly has ordered troops en- route to Gin
cinnati to return. The Fourth and Four
teenth regiments are TO be relieved, and
the rest OF the troops are to be held IN Gin
cinnat till further orders. The city will
be guarded till Wednesday at least.
