CINCINNATI, March 30-7P. M.-The scenes of
terror that the people of Cincinnati have under
gone for the past forty-eight hours simply battle
description. None, save only those who have been
in wars and seen people killed by thousands and
whole cities burned ever witnessed anything like
it. 1t is true that Cincinnati is not burned, but
her magnificent temple of justice with the fin
est law library in the United
States, with one exception, and many
valuable deeds and records which no amount of
scores of people have been killed, and yet the
end is not The militia have held possession of
the Jail with commendable ZEAL and every
attack made upon it by the mob has resulted
disastrously to it. Last night several attacks
were made, and each time from to twenty
persons were killed or wounded. 1t is now esti-
mated that not less than one hundred
and fifty were killed and wounded last
night. OF these, probably fifty were killed out
right and ten or fifteen have since died.
Early this morning the mayor issued the fol
lowing proclamation:

What probably melted the notice to Mr.. Camp
bell, was the following rather defiant card printed
in all the papers this morning.
CINCINNATI, March 29.-I suppose it would be as
easy to confne the Ohio river within its banks at
food times have facts reasons relating to the
Berner trial at such a time this considered How
ever wish to state that the total humber of jurors
who answered in the was 275 the number ex
cused by challenge for cause by the State was ia
the number excused for cause by the defendant was
%, the number excused peremptorily by the State
was 2, the number excused peremptorily by
the defendant 18, the number excused
by the court irrespective of the wishes of
counsel on either side was g. the number excused by
consent 80. You will thus that the defendant
all told out of 275 excused 46, the State 176, the
court 9, and IL were finally accepted.
Every man of the 275 was selected by Judge
Matthews alone; the defense had no voice whatever
Judge Matthews represents the State and the State
called every to the box. If they corrupt if
they were bad, if they forsworn why were they
brought there by the judgel They acted, in my iudg
ment, properly, upon the light that was given them
For myself did the best know how for one whose
cause and life intrusted to me- would do so
again commencing tomorrow morning if the occasion
| presented itself 7. G. CAMPBELL.
