if necessary.
SENTIMENT OF II CITIZENS.
1t is the common expression among the
citizens that the repulsion of the gang of
determined men, who composed the mob
of Friday night, was a gross mistake.
The people say openly that it would have
been better to have given the obnoxious
murderers up who were so carefully
guarded, and let them receive their well
merited punishment, which it appears
cannot be accorded by the proper legal
process in this country. The presence of
the military and the constantly arriving
achievements, seem to add to the mob's
determination to hold their ground rather
than to exercise an intimidating effdrt.
Throughout the disturbances, Governor
Hoadley remained at the state capitol. re-
ceiving advices from members of his staff
stationed in Cincinnati. To this point he
ordered the immediate reporting of every
military organization in the state. The
railway officials were requested to run spe-
cial trains for the transportation of these
troops. The governors Office has been
crowded all day with his counselors and
those who were helping to issue the neces-
sary orders and to answer the hundreds of
dispatches, 1t is the first general appear
ance of war since 1865. The governor has
also ordered all the state ammunition to
the scene of the riot, and he has borrowed
a lot of supplies and equipments from the
United States barracks, having exhausted
all his supplies for the military forces now
in the field. He has his headquarters in
the Office of General Manager McCrea, of
the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & st. Louis
railway, at Columbus, where a wire is
kept free for him to communicate with the
moving troops, and with those in COM
mand at Cincinnati, and with the troops
called from this and other points. There
is fear of contagious outbreaks, owing to
the unprecedented excitement which is
reported from different quarters, All the
railroads are giving the military trains
precedence in the right of way.
Adyices from Columbus are to The effect
that throughout the whole of to-day,
Sunday Berner, the vile assassin who
really caused the riot, rested there in the
penitentiary quietly and in comfort. The
gates had to be closed against the public
for chapel, owing to the multitude of
curiosity seekers that appeared. No vio-
lence is probable at Columbus. 1t is very
quiet, but the night guard at the prison is
small and there has been some talk of easy
access to him.
MoNDAY OPENS ON II SEEM
CINCINNATI, March 3l.-At midday
there is no appearance of a relaxation of
preparations for defense. Barbados of
barrels and every other sort of material
still remain across all the avenues ap-
preaching the county buildings, and be-
hind them stand the militia with guns
with fixed bayonets. The police have
been sen away to their regular posts and
are obtaining some rest. Though the
general feeling is hat there will be no fur
Their outbreak, there is no lacking Of men
who predict otherwise.
At a meeting of the citizens committee
appointed by the mayor, a resolution was
adopted thanking the governor and the
Ohio National guards for the efficient aid
rendered the civil authorities, and pledg-
ing support to the mayor in the course he
has adopted, and promising to furnish
additional means if, in the opinion of the
mayor, an additional force is necessary.
Resolutions were also adopted appointing
a subcommittee to provide rooms for the
use of the courts, and recommending that
the court of common pleas proceed at
once to dispose of the criminal cases on
hand.
The mayor was requested to select an
executive committee of fifteen from the
members of this meeting for advice and
counsel, to whom all matters should be
referred.
Reports have been received that shot
fired this morning by the militia entered
the second intermediate school house on
Ninth street, between Main and Walnut
streets; also that two men were shot, but
this is not yet verified.
RECORDS SAVED.
1t has been ascertained with great salts
faction that nearly the entire records of
the recorders Office containing the records,
deeds and mortgages are saved. A per-
son familiar with the Offices says, not more
than fifty volumes of the records are
gone, covering the transactions of about
three years, of about thirty years ago.
This will be Of immense value considering
what else is lost. 1t il supposed the money
in the treasury vaults and the records in
the probate judges vaults are safe, but
she safes cannot yet be opened. The
physician attending Briggs Swift says his
condition is much improved, though his
advanced age, 70 years, makes his chances
for recovery less. Mr.. Swift. with Henry
Hanna, was walking up Main toward the
court house, when at the southeast corner
of Ninth and Main n soldier ordered
them to halt. They obeyed and immedi-
ately afterwards guns were discharged in
front of them and both fell. Mr.. Swift
was shot through the thigh of the left
