GOVERNOR HoADLY INTERVIEWED.
Governor Hoadly being interviewed con-
cerning the Cincinnati riot said he believed
the Fourth regiment, of Dayton, was in Gin
cinnati in time to prevent the burning of the
court house. If Col. Mott, with his COM
mand in good control, had taken the canal
bridge, and held it, he could have cleared Main
streets of the rioters and the police and the
soldiers of the First regiment could have held
the streets around the court house and jail.
He thinks mobs are dangerous and impracti-
BILE as to final action, but he believed more
vigorous administration of criminal law
would be- the immediate result of
the uprising He feared however,
a subsequent reaction of indifference 1t
var lnfn 20 For fba
public sentiment that the particular Hamil-
| ton county murderers who would first feel
| the increased severity in the administration
of the criminal law Were poor men without
influential friends 1t would have a much
| more reassuring effect on public sentiment if
one or two of them were wealthy and well con-
nected. He said the root of the difficulty lay
in the unwilliDgness Of reputable citizens to
respond to the calls of public duty. He would
remedy the jury law even by abolishing ex-
cuses and compel citizens to serve.
COMMITTEE OF SAFETY.
| The executive committee of Fifteen hold its
/ meetings with closed doors, because theii
duties are advisory, and they regard it wise
| to keep their information and plans from the
general public At the meeting the only
business transacted proper for the public
to know was the adoption of a resolution
advising against the holding of public meet
ing in the city where the riots and its Incl
dents would be discussed. While all signi
are hopeful, and the belief is general that M
further violence is probable, there is som,
apprehension ameng those charged with tbs
preservation of order.
THE BARRICADES.
While Main street and North and Soutt
Court streets are open to plblic travel, the
barricades in front of the Jail and on Syca
more street are still in position. Thsse caus
comparatively little interruption to business
and they make it impossible for a crowd t
press closely on the Jail.
DIED OF GRIEF.
At the burial of Adolph Meinktng, one Of
tn ose killed on Saturday night, his fathe
tainted at the grave, was carried home in al
unconscious condition, and died before moru
ing.
