purpose of framing an amended charier,

it provided for the immediate ousting oi
ihe present city government, United
States troops, under authority of General
Merrilt, prevented the election. The
original charter faction called an election
on their charter for Saturday, again nnd
without the consent of the mayor
council. General Merritt again sent or
ders to Colonel Snyder to prevent the
election, and Captain Stiles, in command
of tho troops, carried out these orders at
the point of the bayonet. The polls
were op mud, and a large crowd assem
bled. A number of persons endeavored
to vote, when Captain Stiles threw his
company »croB» the street aud gave the
command to charge. opposition The to company the:r en

then rushed to nnother place nnd declared
ihe polls opened again. Captain cleared Stiles
repeated his charge, and again

at other wards where the faction at
tempted to vote, but were routed each
time by the troops. The leaders of the
charter faction, after consulting with
Captain Stiles, then advised the crowd
to disperse. The advice was followed
nnd the excitement subsided. Nine ol

the charge of conspiracy against and the city au
