Expected.

T. the Western Associated Press
CINCINNATI, March 31.-Everything is quiet
this morning. But very few people are about
ths Courthouse, and these merely from curl
osity The barricades are still in position
around the Jail, but will probably be removed to-
day. A feeling that the trouble is over pervades
the whole city
At noon Governor Hoadly ordered troops
Ell route to Cincinnati to return. The Fourth
and Fourteenth regiments will be relieved,
and the rest of the troops held in Cincinnati
until further orders. The city will be guarded
until Wednesday at least
vt md day there is no appearance of relax
at, Of Preparations for the defense. Barri-
o"aes, barrels and every other sort OF material
still remain across all avenues of approach to
the county buildings and behind them stand
the militi with guns fixed Bayonets are every
where bristling. The police have been sent
away to their regular posts and are obtaining
some rest Though the general feeling is that
there will be further outbreak there are not
lacking men who predict otherwise
AT the meeting of the citizens committee ap-
pointed by the mayor resolution was adopted
thanking the Governor and the Ohio National
Guard for the efficient aid rendered the civil au-
thorities, and pledging to support the mayor in
the course he has adopted, and promising to fur
nish additional means if, in the opinion of the
mayor, additional force is necessary Resolu-
tions were also adopted appointing a sub-commt-
tee to provide rooms for the use of the courts,
and recommending that the Court of Common
Pleas proceed at once to dispose of the criminal
cases. The mayor was requested to select an
executive committee of fifteen from members of
this meeting for advice and counsel, to whom all
matters should be referred
Reports have been received that shot fred
this morning by the militia entered the second
intermediate school-house on Ninth street, be
tween Main and Walnut; also, that two men
were shot, but this is not yet verified. 1t has
been ascertained with great satisfaction
that nearly the entire set of records
of the recorders Office. containing the records
of deeds, mortgages, etc, are saved person
familiar with the Office, says not more than fifty
volumes of records are gone, covering transac-
tons about thirty years ago. This will be Of
immense value, considering what else is lost. 1t
is supposed the money in the treasury vaults,
and records in the probate judges vaults are
safe, but the safes cannot yet be opened.
The physician attending Briggs Swift says his
condition is much improved, though his ad-
vanced age, seventy-three years, makes the
chances of recovery less.
P. NAT the jail and the city buildings
everything is in the most complete state of de
fense. The defenses of all streets and alley
ways approaching the former the seat of war
have been strengthened and reinforced. The
commanding officers are sanguine in their ex-
pressions as to no fear of further outbreak
and indeed, appearances in the city would
lead one to think them perfectly right
The mob seems entirely queed and to
stand in such wholesome fear of the reckless
shooting of the soldiery and the terrible effects
of the Gating guns as to have had entirely
enough of rushing into the jaws of death. The
Thirteenth and Fourteenth regiments, under
command respectively of Colonels Picard and
Freemen, from Hillsboro and Columbus, seem
to be considered the most reliable, and are still
on duty, guarding the barricades, the point of
all attacks. The entire military force endures
the unaccustomed hardships and exposures in a
manner highly beitting even old veterans This
morning. about l o'clock, the Thirteenth was or
dered on march of about FIVE miles to guard
the powder magazines in the vicinity of Avon
dale. They have been returned to the Jail, and
other detachments are on duty at the magazines
This afternoon the Seventeenth Regiment was
ordered to the Jail, to act as relief for portion
of the night to the above named regiments
which have been SO continuously on duty there
The general opinion is that further trouble will
happen, although reports of meetings of social
istic organizations, Indignation meetings of la
boring men to condemn the military, etc, are
rife, but in all probability without foundation.
Those composing the mob were without leaders,
