there was no appearance of a relaxation of

of barrels and every ‘other sort of material
still remain across all avenues of approach

court house, and these merely from curi
osity. The barricades aro still in position
around the jail, but will .probably be re
moved to-day. The feeling that trouble is
over pervades the whole city.
MJLITABY ORDERS.
Columbus, Ohio, March 3i.—Governor
There has been no change in
(b, Sltustion since the mob dispersed.
This morning, although the weather Is
Mightlul and this is Sunday, the streets
Be comparatively clear of people. The
streets are barricaded now in all directions,
keeping the crowd a square away from
the court house and jail. General Finley,
idiutant-gcneral, is here, and all available
militia oi the State have been ordered
here in the quickest possible time. Every
body looks for a repetition to-night of last
night's bloody and aimless work.
The burning of the court house last night
was wholly aimless and malicious. The
destruction of the building did not aid the
nob at all in getting at the prisoners or In
foing harm to the militia. It was purely
wanton. Nor was there any excuse for the
failure to protect this property. The man
agement of Sheriff Hawkins has been again
and again adversely commented on to-day
with reference to the loss of this valuable
buildaig. An immense veranda, with huge
atonecolumnsfromtlictopof the first story
to the roof, commanding Main nnd Court
streets, formed a placo where twenty men
in safety couid have cleared the whole
•pace with two volleys, and could have
made it certain death to any man coming
within range. Moreover, after the attack
on the treasurer's olflce was made, it would
have been the work of only a minute to
hire sent men to ail the front windows of
the court house building and driven the
mob away. Instead, poor Desmond, with a
mere squad, was sent to tho tirst floor to
pat out the lire, and he was sacrificed.
It was the gallant work of Colonel Free
man's Fourteenth regiment that flnaliy
cleared the streets and gave the authori
ties control of the space about the court
hotue and jail. Colonel liawkins had
evidently misunderstood the moves of the
mob. He-thought the prisoners In the
jail were their objective point, whereas, if
they bid any purpose at ail, It was to lake
revenge on the militia for the previous
night’s reckless firing. -Colonel Hawkins
therefore hsd given his whole attention to
tbs protection of the jail and prisoners.

official advices to-night from members of

ordered every military organization in the
State to report to Cincinnati imnieiliately.
They number in all seventeen regiments
and five batteries.
The Governor’s office has been crowded
all day with counsellors and those helping
to Issue orders and answer the hundreds
of dispatches coming. It is the first gen
eral appearance of war times here since
18(55. The Governor lias also ordered all
State ammunition to the scene of the riot,
and has borrowed supplies and equip

hausted hs military chest on the lorces in
the field. He has his headquarters in the
office of General Manager SIcCrea, of the

Cincinnati, March 30.—It Is a common
expreision that the reception of the gang

being so carefully guarded and lit them

which it appears cannot be accorded by

Cincinnati, March 31.—It lias been
learned with great satisfaction tliat nearly
the entire set of records of the recorder's
office, containing record* of deeds, mort

with the office says that not more than
fifty volumes of records are gone, covering

Tho mob’s spirit seems entirely quelled,
and those formerlv imbued with

of the soldiery and to hare had an entire
sufficiency of rushing into the jaws of

WANT THE TROOPS TO OO.
At a meeting of the citizens’ committee
this morning the mayor was requested to
select an executive.committee from the
members of the meeting for advice and
counsel, to whom all matters should be re
ferred. This committee was selected and
afterwards met at the Chamber of Com
merce and resolved to adviso the with
drawal of the troope and the appointment
of a sufficient special police force,
it being the sense of the meeting that the
presence of the militia appeared
to act as a menace to the now qnleteamob,
and that the fiersons who composed the
lat’er are in reality more fearful of a num
ber of resolute, well-organized police than
of untrained militia. The recommenda
tion embracing this view has been for
warded to Gov. Hoadly, uitd it U almost
certain, should no further outbreak occur,
thnt many of the State troops will be
homeward bound by Tuesday evening.

There would be a committee pretty soon

been on continuous duty for three days
ami nights at tbe court house ami jail,
defending the barricades at the most dan
gerous points, and have been the object of
attack ot the mob. Before starting
for the depot the troops were
drawn up in a line before tho jail
and a highly congratulatory and com
mendatory dispatch from Gov. Hoadly
was read to them. The troops remaining
in the city, not vet on active duty, are the
First, Second, Fifth, Fifteenth, Siiteenth
and Seventh regiments. Together with
the batteries, they will take the places of
those ordered home, and will themselves
gradually lie returned to their respective
homes.
As to the state of public feeling, it can
not be said that tho original impulse that
actuated the men who took part In the
denioiMtation on .Saturday night has been
removed or lessened by the presence of tlic
military. On the contrary, the events ol
Friday and Saturday nights have given
rise to a new feeling— that of indignation
against the militia. Only the boneleasness
of conflict with this powerfully
nrtued force prevents an attack
upon it. Newspapers usually 1
conservative intone, s|ieakwith greatfrei-
dom to-day on the situation as it is. The
Volkiblatt (German) says: “The calling

placed on the police force, order wight

Tho t'rtie /“rMie(German) says: “The
indignation of the people is on the increase,
on account of the rougli and wholly un
provoked shooting upon peaceful citizens
nnd upon women and children, and the
increase of indignation is becoming more
and more fearful. It may be dreaded
upon too reasonable grounds that the shed-
city of Cincinnati lias been menaced by
mob of vigilance committees and kuklux
organizations, which bavo subverted the
law of the land and disturbed pebltc tran
quility, in repeated efforts to lynch certain
persons confined in jail at Cincinnati,

many lives and the destruction of |much
property, and requesting the Sherman
committee of the Senate to inquire into tho

rages. and report by bill orotherwlee.
The bill for the redemption ot trade dol

Mr. Bland spoke in opposition to it, and
Mr. Miller, of Texas, and Mr. Lacey, of

saying, however, that he would vote
against it if the fourth section, which pro

L).VDOS. March30—It is reported that
on the 16th instant General Gordon mad**
a sortie from Khartoum, with 3,000 men,
two guns and a squadron of Baslit-Bazouk
cavalry, accompanied by three steamers
on the river. The rebels were encoun
tered near Halfiych. Sixty of the enemy’s
cavalry charged the Bashi-Bazouks and put
them to flight, which caused a panic
among the infantry, who also fled In great
disorder. General Gordon returned to
Khartoum. Notwithstanding this check,
he declares that Khartoum is quite safe.
On nearing the rebels, General Gordon
drew up his troops in the form of a square,
in which they were kept until attacked by
the enemy, when the Egyptians turned
and fled. Two hundred of them wero
slaughtered and three guns wero lost.
There are enough provisions at Khartoum
to enable the town to hold out until ^in

Cairo, March 30.—A rumor is current
that Gen. Gordon surrendered Khartoum
some days ago to the sheiks representing
El Mahdi, and that three days afterward
he and his secretary. Col. Stewart, were ar
rested and imprisoned. The vice-con
of France, Greece and Austria w
molested, but they were forbidden t _

national treaties, England guaranteeing to
order Egypt to meet her financial engage

Lownox. March 31.—Later advices give
the following details concerning Gordon's
engagement with the rebels near Halflyeb
on the 10th instant: The rebels pursued
the Egyptians for two miles after th - bat
tle. Tne scene of confusion presented by
the retreating troops was fearful. The
Egyptian regulars nnd Baahi-
Bozouks kept shooting out
that their generals had betrayed
them. The wounded received uo atten
tion for seven hours. Tbe troops had been
clamoring for three weeks before to meet
the enemy. In tho early part of tho en
counter the Egyptians weresuccefl'ful and
the enemy actually in full retreat, when
their cavalry made a dashing charge.
Despite the reverse, the inhabitants
still remain staunch friends to Gordon.
One Arab has lent Gordon *£1,000, os his
treasury is empty. Another Arab has
equipped 2,000 blacks for Gordon’s service.
Two black yashaa have been arrested for
