THE ILLINOIS MILITIA
ST. LOUIS, April 1.-About noon to-da,
several representative members of the
Merchants Exchange headed 10y DR.
: Francis, Mayor OF the city, called upon
| Governor Oglesby, Of Illinois, in East st
, Louis. Speeches were made setting forth
the situation and urging upon him the
nee ssity OF calling out the militia at once
to restore order and affect the resumption
of freight traffic. The Governor replied
that while he knew the authorities of East
st. Louis were unable to cope with the
situation, the county uf St. Clair was
large md pop,lons and the powers of the
Sheriff very great. These had not been
exhausted, and until they were he could
not call on the militia for aid. If, how
ever, he should be actually obliged to bring
soldiers there they would come for active
service and resoluts work. there would
be no nonsense nor child's play about it.
