Everything is quiet this morning. A very
few people are about the court house and
these are there merely IRON Curiosity, The
bsrrcades are still in position around the
Jail, but will probably be removed today.
feeling that the trouble is over prevades the
whole city. detachment of United States
regulars are held in readiness to protect the
United States property if necessary.
New YORK, March 81.
The latest despatch from Cincinnati dated
A. NJ. says one-half of the militia on guard
at the Jail have been relieved. Since the
firing at last night no one has been shot
The volleys since last night have been mere
blinds to clear the streets. 1t has been
certained that no one was killed by the firing
at O'Clock last evening, but persons were
wounded. two men named Pfelser and
Cooper and another man whose name has
not been ascertained.
CISCISNATI. March 81.
At midday there is no appearance of relax
alton of the preparations for defense. The
police have been sent away to their regular
posts Though the general feeling is that
there will be no further outbreak some fear
otherwise. Ata meeting of the citizens
committee appointed by the mayor, resolu
tions were adopted thanking the governor
and the national guards for the efficient aid
rendered to the civil authorities, and pledg
ing support to the course the mayor adopted
and promising to furnish extra means, if in
the opinion of the mayor it is necessary.
Resolutions were adopted appointing sub
committee to provide rooms for the use of
courts and recomme ndiDg a court of peace to
dispose of criminals. The mayor was re-
quested to select an executive committee of
Is from members of the meeting for advice
and counsel, to whom the matters should be
referred. Reports had been received that the
shots fired by the militia this morning en-
tered the second intermediate school house
on 9th street between Walnut and Main
streets and also two men were shot, bu. this
is not yet verified.
COLUMBUS, March 81.
Advices from Cincinnati say that at noon
Governor Hoadley ordered the troops sent
from here to return. The 4th and l4th regi-
ments are to be relieved and the rest of the
troops to be held in Cincinnati until further
orders. The city will be guarded until
Wednesday.
CINCINNATI, March 81.
At the Jail and city buildings everything
is in a most complete state of defence. At the
access of the streets and alleys approaching
the scene of the late strife the barricades
have been strengthened and reinforced. The
commanding officers are sanguine in their
expressions as to no further fear of an out
break and the present appearance of things
seem to justify this view. The mob spirit
seems entirely quelled and those formerly
imbrued with it seem to stand in such fear of
the reckless shooting of the soldiery as to
have had an entire sufficiency of rushing into
the jaws of death The l3th and l4th regi-
ments seem to be considered the most re-
liable and are on duty guarding the bsrri-
cades, the main point of all the previous at
attacks. About | O'Clock this morning the
18th regiment were ordered on a march of
five miles to guard the powder magazine
near Avondale, but has since returned to the
Jail. Other detachments are now on duty at
the magazine. The general impressions that
there will be no further trouble, although
there are reports of meetings of socialistic
organizations and Indignation meetings of the
laboring classes to condemn the action of the
militia and there are rumors of dyna
mite and nitro glycerine bombs to be
brought into play are rife. but in all proba- |
bility they are without grounds. The may
or's advisatory committee met at the cham |
Der of commerce today, and resolved to ad- |
wise the withdrawal of the troops and the ap |
pointment of a sufficient police force, it being
in the sense of the meeting that the presence
of the militia appeared to act as a menance
to the now quieted mob, and that the persons
who composed the latter are in reality more
fearful of number of resolute organized po- |
lice than of unframed militia. Henry Nc

have died. Thos. p. Green (colored) coach |
man, and the son of Rev. f. w. Green. of
Maysville, Ky, died this forenoon. This
evening. by the accidental discharge of a
gun of Scarf Armstead, the guard on duty at
the iail was fatally wounded The scenes
about the Jail and court house are strikingly
like those witnessed in war times. Barri-
cades were constantly lined with soldiers
with guns ready for service. Within the
lines a still more martial aspect prevailed.
On Sycamore street stood five mounted
pieces of artillery with artillerymen on
the ground.
1t is as quiet as a graveyard, was the an
swer from Court and Walnut streets to a
telephone inquiry as to the conditions of
affairs at IL O'Clock tonight.
