are murmurs of discomfort heard on the
streets and deep feeling exists on the part of
the friends of the men who were shot Great
precautions are being taken to prevent knots
of men from gathering on the sidewalks, and
after dark no group of three of four persons

feeling that there is trouble ahead seems to
be growing every hour.
CINCINNATI, April Military guard has
been almost wholly withdrawn from the
court house and jail surroundings. high

except the three iron gates in front, and half
a dozen soldiers stand guard there. The
Seventeenth regiment is to remain,

number of instances the members have been
discharged from their places of employment
because their fellow-workmen threatened to
leave if the miltt amen are permitted to
come back to work Gov. Hoa1ly, in let
ter of thanks to Sheriff Hawkins, expressed
approval of his course of conduct, but made
the remark that it was not proper to express

Mr. Campbell told a correspondent taat
he had his premises barricaded on Sunday,
and that he has five Winchester rifles, two
shot-guns, and plenty Of revolvers, and FIVE
men besides himself and his brother to use
them if necessary. He said he got $40, 600
insurance on his life on Saturday, aud
that his office has been besiegad by
life-insurance agents ever since. Every
mail brings him threatening letters, most of
them from Hamilton county, but many of
them from distance One received from
Detroit, reads:

Many of the letters are not only vitupera-
tive, but profane.

visible sign of the renewal of trouble Pri-
vate business men are quietly providing for
defending their places of business in case of
another outbreak, attended with attempts to
pillage.
