No ono was hnrt, so far as is known. Cincinnati, March 31.—At midday there was no appearance of a relaxation of the preparations for defense. Barricades of barrels and every ‘other sort of material still remain across all avenues of approach to the county buildings. Behind, them stand the militia with fixed bayonets. The police have been sent a way to their regular posts, and are obtaining some rest. Though the general feeling is that there will be no further outbreak, there are not lacking men who predict otherwise, EVERYTH ISO QUIET. FROM WASHINGTON.

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.

Hoad!} 'aI official advices to-night from members of Ids stafT in Cincinnati are such that lie lias 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 ments from adjacent States, having ex hausted hs military chest on the lorces in the field. He has his headquarters in the office of General Manager SIcCrea, of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Lows rail way, where a wire is kept free for him to communicate with the moving troops and those in command at Cincinnati of the troops called from this and other points. There is fear of contagious outbreaks, owing tn unprecedented excitement re ported from different quarters. All the railroads are giving the military trains pre cedence. MINERAL rtXLIV’S OHDF.US. ■CisciaSATS. March 80.— Adjutant Gonl cral Finley issued nn order to-night to the troops, assigning them to positions in va rious parts of the city, and closing with tho following words: "The military are hero in aid of the civil authorities, acting under the orders of tho mayor. In case ol disturbance, please direct tho officers in charge to use forbearance as long as there is virtue in forbearance, and not to t*> tbe aggressors; bnt in the event that force Is required, to use it effectively in the defense of life and property." I ATTACK OM MUSIC HALL. At 0:25 o’clock word was received at general headquarters that a law mob had broken into Music Hall by forcing the door, and were trying to man a cannon on exhibition In the power hail. Companies D and B, of tbe Sixth Regiment, were sent to drive them out, and succeeded, without bloodshed, in recapturing the cannon and taking possession of the hail. rvnuo sxitnMEET. Cincinnati, March 30.—It Is a common expreision that the reception of the gang of determined men who composed the mob of Friday niglit was a gross mistake. The people say openly that it would have been better to give ud the criminals who are being so carefully guarded and lit them receive their well merited punishment, which it appears cannot be accorded by proper procesa in this country. Tim MOD'S DETERMINATION. The presence of the military and con stantly arriving reinforcements seem to add to the mob's determination to hold their ground, rather than to exercise an Hoadly has ordered tho troops en route to Cincinnati to return, the Fourth and Four teenth regiments to be relieved, and the rest of the troops to be held in Cincinnati till further orders. The city will be guard ed until Wednesday, at least. DAMAGE BV THE riBE. # 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 gages, etc. are saved. A person familiar with the office says that not more than fifty volumes of records are gone, covering the transactions of three years, about thirty years ago. It is supposed that the money in the treasury vaults and records in tlic probate judge's vaults is safe, but the safes cannot he opened.

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. [TELEGRAPHED TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.} Washington, March 31.—In the Senate, the public buildings committee reported favorably the bill providing for the erec tion of a public building at Chattanooga. Placed on the calendar. Mr. Butler presented a memorial from the Chamber of Commerce of Charleston, S. C., relating to silver coinage, the revenue marl e service and light ships. Mr. Platt called up for the purpose of speaking upon it his bill providing for the organization of the patent office into a sep arate department. At the conclusion of his remarks, the Senate went into execu tive session, nnd when the doors were open ed adjourned. HOUSE. Mr. Beach, of New York, from tho com mittee on public health, reported back a resolution directing that the commit tee investigate tho question of the adulter ation of food and drugs. Mr. Brown, ot Indiana, did not think this investigation within the province of Congress, but thought that the • adultera tion of food and drink should be regulated by the States. Mr. Cox, of New York, called attention to the fact that while before the war but 500 bills would be presented to Congress in a year, at this session 7,000 bills have been already introduced. Congress was getting omniverous. It was taking in everything. There would be a committee pretty soon to investigate how much sand the grocer put in his sugar and how much water in nis milk. In fact, the pending resolution would reach that.

Mr. Cose, ot Nevada, confined his antag onism to the fourth section, which he maln’alncd would liavo the effect of con tracting tho currency to the amount of trade dollars wbicli would be retired. Mr. Belford, of Colorado, regarded the fourth section os a covert fraud on tho ile, and ns being in the interest of tlic . ischilds, who controlled Germany on the question of gold and silver demonetiza tion. Mr. Bramm, of Pennsylvania, protested ngalnst the fourth section of the bill as an unfair and cowardly rider on the trade dollar bill, bnt expressed his intention to vote for the bill, whether the section was stricken or not, on account of the necessity ads miles .south of here, on the Fort \frayno, Cincinnati and Louisville railroad, en tirely out of existence, and doing great damage to life and property.

Cincinnati, April J.—A portion of the soldiers are being ordered home, Tlic Thirteenth and Fourteenth Rcgii from Hillsboro and Columbus, respec tively, and the Second Independent com pany, tbe Governor's Guards and the I hifly Kifles (colored), from Columbus started , homeward this evening. Tho troop i hav e | J, 101 ’ 1 ' l,i!: 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 ont of the militia o« Friday night be-characterised as u grave mlstal militia know and can do nothing else, it ap pears, hut shoot. If reliance had been placed on the police force, order wight probably have been restored witliont loss of life." 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, charged with crime, resulting in the loss of many lives and the destruction of |much property, and requesting the Sherman committee of the Senate to inquire into tho circumstances connected with these oat- rages. and report by bill orotherwlee. The bill for the redemption ot trade dol lars came up as tho regular order, and Mr. Bland spoke in opposition to it, and Mr. Miller, of Texas, and Mr. Lacey, of Michigan, supported the bill, the latter saying, however, that he would vote against it if the fourth section, which pro vides that the trade dollar! purchased shall tic deducted from the monthly coinage of silver, were stricken out.

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 ter. ^ v Cairo, March 30.—A rumor is current that Gen.
