dispatch was seat this morning by
Sheriff Robiquet, of st. Clair county

East st. LouiB-To Gov. Oglesby,
Springfield, Ill-Your dispatch re.

the question for mi to 60 far from home
| called a posse ct East st. Louis when
the emergency occurred. Few person.
responded and few Will. There are nine
yards there. There are fully ] soc men de-
termined that no freight trans shall bt
moved. They respect no authority anc
seem to hold the state OF Illinois in con
tempt.
1t is folly to think of moving
freight trains here unless the state send,
, a strong force. All attempts to do &C
will result in failure and bring the
authorities into further contempt. Thu
engines have been killed this mornine
and the freight blockade is complete
except as to roads in the hands Of
United States marshals. The strikers
seem to have strong respect for the
United States, but zone for the state.
