A "D. C's'' Remarkable Letter.
TOLEDO, April THE Commercial
Telegram will tomorrow publish a re-
markable letter from a distinguished citi-
zen Of Cincinnati, givinga new version of
the story of the riot. He states that the
home papers dare not tell all their re-
porters know about the riot; that the
Coroner dare not hold an inquest, be-
cause the testimony would show that there
was no mob, and no need for them to
open fire; that they fired on unoffending
people, and such Of the policemen and
militia as were shot were shot by the
militia; that Sheriff Hawkins has no
brains and lost his head; that the firing
was uncalled for and cowardly; that the
bystanders could not believe that bullets
were being fred until they saw men fall.
The letter is very lengthy and criticises
the entire management of the Governor
and his military staff, and speaking with
the utmost severity of the fear and foolish
ness and bloodthirsty frenzy of the Sheriff
with which he infected the militia.
Disobedience of Orders.
CINCINNATI, April 7.-Sheriff Hawkins,
having been asked by aColonel of one of

to duty at the Jail Saturday, the night of
the mob, and they refused to go, published
to-day a long letter, saying it would be
more appropriate to call on the regiment
to explain why they refused to obey q law
full command. He charges the con-
duct Of the men who went for patrol duty,
instead of to the Jail as ordered, TO bad
advice. He closed by rendering his un-
conditional resignation as Colonel OF the
regiment.
The municipal election is progressing

WASHINGTON, April 7.-William M.
Evarts predicts that Lincoln will be nom

been watching the drift Of public senti-
