fBy telegraph 10 the Dispatch.I
CINCINNATI, April 2.-The relief expe-
rienced by the removal Of anxiety which
has rested'so heavily upon the city since
Friday night can hardly be described.
The citizens are unanimous in wanting
no more mobs, and vet they are not con-
vinced that the original purpose OF this
mob was not righteous one. The fail
ure to accom- plish the original purpose
on Friday night practically ended the
exertions OF the men engaged in the attack
on the Jail, and the subsequent disgrace
full proceedings were the natural outgrowth
OF the departure from the observance OF
law and order. The policemen, and even
the militiamen. are looked upon as cOnser-
vators OF the law, and although the pur-
pose OF the original mob fmled, there is a
feeling that its influence will be felt. The
judges are arranging to make more speedy
work In the trial OF criminals.
The commissioners have not yet found
rooms in which to hold courts, and there
is talk OF building temporary structure
on the jail lot, so as to be hear where the
criminals are kept. It is not thought to be
prudent To have TO traverse much space in
taking prisoners to and from the court
room.
The heavy rain-storm, accompanied by
thunder, last night served 10 keep every
body of the streets. The militia on duty
at the barricadcs were completely dreached.
The weather turned colder after the rain,
and the soldiers suffered much discomfort.
The patrol-wagons drove around collecting
blankets for them.

REMOVING THE BARIICADEs.

CINCINNATI, April 2.-One Of the most
encouraging outward signs OF the SUI
premacy Of order has Just appeared in the
removal Of the barbados in the streets
about the courthouse. At noon the
first street-cars OF the Mount Auburn
line were permitted to pass through,
after having been shut out since %
O'Clock Saturday night, when the pistol
firing and stone-thrOwing in front Of the
courthouse so inundated the drivers and
conductors that they refused 10 further
risk their lives. Travel OF all kinds was
at once resumed.
About the courthouse few soldiers are
still pacing the sidewalks around the court
house for the purpose OF preventing ven.
turesOme persons from entering the dam
gerous structure. The entire military force
will be withdrawn to-day, except the Sew
enteenth regiment, which will remain on
duty until further orders. The latest re-
vised list OF the dead and wounded places

Hartwell Alderman, white, Of Carroll
county, thought the Danville circular
caused the loss OF 200 votes to the Re-
adjusters. There were siIty-four colored
voters in Carroll county, only three OF
whom were Republicans. The remainder
voted the Democratic ticket.
Thomas j. Lassiter, OF Norfolk, conductor
on the Norfolk and Western railroad, was
the next witness. He was questioned In
regard TO what he heard at the railroad
! stations Of the rumors Of the hot in Dan
vile.
! John Clover (white), Of Fairfax county,
was also examined on the same subject,
/ but nothing OF importance was elected
( from either beyond the fact that the ru-
mors occasioned no great excitement.
Jesse Ilargraves (colored), resident OF
Danyile for nine years, and driver for a
lumber merchant there, testified that a
rumor had been current at he was going
10 vote the Democratic ticket, and he was
told by other colored men that II he voted
the Democratic ticket they "would give
him the devil" He voted the Democratic
ticket. and since then negro men had not
visited him, saying they had no use for a
! Democratic negro. Had seen George Al
len and two other colored men with pis-
tolls three or four days before the election.
He had not carried pistol himself for ten
or fifteen wears. On cross-eXamination he
said he did not know how his employers
voted.
Frank Corbett, who said he was colored
man. but who resembled white man very
closely, said he heard for some time prior
TO the riot that there would be fight on
election-day. He went In saloon the day
after Sims spoke and saw Sims there. On
coming out Sims got In buggy ana drove
down the street. A number OF white men
were In line on the street, but did not in

of the German democratic mass meeting.
The interior of the building was hands

Among the vice presidents were George

his opening speech said:

WASHINGTON CITY, Sept. 30-Mrs. Belva
Lockwood, candidate for president, has sent
to Governor Cleveland a letter de-
claring the use of scandal as a political
weapon, and suggesting the propriety of a
convocation of the several presidential can
didates at Wheeling, to adopt a peaceable
armistice that will strip the present
canvas of a recurrence of such un-
dignified proceedings and publications as
would disgrace a heathen nation. She refers
to the good results of convocaction of
European soverigns, and thinks such one as
she proposes would tend to purify American
politics, and, moreover, it would afford us
all an opportunity to become personally ac-
quainted and tend to soften the asperities
that difference of opinion sometimes endows
us when the motives that actuate them are
unknown"
