Aptil 1.—Botli branches of the Legislature met Monday afternoon, and iu the House of Representatives a large number of bills and resolutions bearing upon the Cincinnati riots were introduced.

Also a resolution calling for the appointment of a committee to go to Cincinnati arid inquire into the state, of affairs and recommend measures to be taken to repair the damage.

London, April 1.—The Cincinnati riofc have greatly scandalized Irish public opin- ion. The old-fashioned Tories are jubilant over what they regard the latest proo I' ol the utter incompetency of a republican gov- ernment to protect life and property. The moderate Conservatives and a majority ol the Liberals profess unbounded ad- miration for the nerve, promptness and efficiency with which the Cincinnati authorities- have all along met and dealt with the difficQlt situation. The Cincinnati method, it is argued, if adopted by En- gland in dealing with Irish disturbance; would soon put an end to them. A con- sensus of British opinion shows that En- glishmen generally admit that Americans always act with more energy and effect against rioters than any other people in the world. r « . .- The Times, commenting upon the Cincin- nati riots, says: ' Occurrences like this must give the statesmen of that vast and growing Republic food for reflection.

Cincinnati, April 1.—The riot is sub- itantially at an end. All day Monday com- parative quiet prevailed. Some of the fnili- iia and the extra police were on active du- ly, but there was no firing and no hostile iemonstrations. All day there was no re- laxation of preparations for the defense, wing to the prevalence of rumors that trou- jle would be continued at night, but.the an- :icipated renewal of the riot failed to. ma- ^rialize. The chief topic of conversation among lawyers who walked a,bout the ruined court- louse was the*effect upon all legal business )f this destruction of records}. As to real state titles not much more than inconve- nience is expected, as many deed records were saved, and, beside, the abstract com- pany lias copy abstracts of alpfrties, which, with deeds in,the possession of individuals, will keep the claim of titles clear. The greatest inconvenience and loss will result froin the loss of original, vouchers in the case of estates, assignments, and trusts in the Probate Court. How to col- lect June taxes is a problem not yet solved. The Commissioners have asked to be pres- ent when the Treasurer opens ins safe. This is because there is no means of determining how much money he has there belonging to the county. . The destruction of the records of the? civil suits, while causing inconven- ience, will clear up many tangled and te- dious cases, and probably not be an unmiti- gated disaster. Among the sufferers from this calamity are the gentlemen interested in the dra- matic festival, which begins April 21, Their auction sale of seats had been appointed foe Wednesday next, but in the present condi- tion of excitement- it is not likely much at- tention will be given to such a matter, aii(^ it has been determined to postpone the sale till Tuesday, April 6. Unfortunately that is the day after the municipal election. About nine o'clock Monday nl-cht a fatal accident happened in front of the jail. A number of soldiers of the Governor's guard, of Coluuibus, were lying against a stone wall on the sidewalk, asleep, »'hen one ol the, guns leaning against the wall was knocked down and discharged. The bayo- net, in falling, slightly wounded Private H. L. Stockwell. The ball struck the wall, knocked off a piece of stone, which wound- ed Okey Armistead, drum-corps Sergeant, and the ball," then glancing, struck Israel S. Gatz in the eye and lodged in his brain. He was removed to the hospital, where he now lies In a dying condition. Gatz was clerk In a railroad office at Columbus. ..- The exact number of dead and wounded will probably never- be ascertained, as many of the wounded were carried away by friends. But the nuinber of killed out- right or dying at the hospital uprto this time is forty-one, as shown by the city undertakers' and hospital records and such information from those taken home as conld be learned. The number of wounded compiled from the same sources, is one hundred and twenty, and there are proba- bly half as many more wounded not re- ported. ' A committee of fifteen, acting in concert with the Mayor, decided to raise by sub- scription §100,000, to be used to pay 3,000 extra police. This sum would be a loan to the city nntil the money could bo raised by a proper appropriation and returned. This is to enable the withdrawal of * the mili- tary. ' . ; - . v as to ttie state or puoiic reeling, it can not be said that the original impulse thai actuated the men takinir part in the demon-' stration Saturday has been removed or lessened by tlie presence of the military. On the contrary, the events of Friday and Saturday nights have given rise to hew feeling, that' of indignation against- the militia. Only the hopelessness of the con- flict with this powerful armed force pre: vents Jan attack upon it Tlie newspapers, usually conservative in tone, speak with great 'freedom on the situation as it now is. The Volksblatt (German) says: i The calling of the militia on Friday night can only be characterized a? a trrave mistake. Our militia know and can do nothing else, it appears, but shooting. If reiiance had been placed upon the poliec lorce order might probably nave been restored without loss of life. ■ " ■ *; . The Frcie Prcssc (German) says: •" The indignation of the people is on the in- crease, on account of thorough und wholly unprovoked shooting upon peaceful citizens ana upon women and children, and that, in- dignation is bi;f oming.moroaudmore fearful. It may be .dreaded, upon two reasonable grounds, that the shedding of blood is not yet ended, but will begin afresh. TheCormncrciai Gazette, in an editorial upon the situation, speaks i?i the strongest possible terms in condemnation ot Sheriff Ha^iins for calling on the militia. The result it declares to be tlie saving.of a .jail full of murderers. It adds: The reign of law and order is restored in Cin- cinnati. that law and order which makes mur- der the sa'fest trade, and which lias unuJe ini- .poieiit the administration of law against crimes of atrocity.. '. ' Captain Foellger, who commanded the detachment of militia which fired tlie first shots, has published a card denying the statement that he ordered his men to fire. He says: "Sheriff Hawkins .erave the order in tlie words, 'Give, it to 'em, boys; fire!' « and, in the excitement 1 could not stop them, so I cried: 'For. Christ's sake,'boys, fire high.' My irten would never have fired if it had not been that'four of them were wound- ed with stones and shots from the crowd, and they &liot on the Sheriff's order. I have been in tne war. I would rather face an enemy than such a crowd of citizens with whom I have a fellow-feeling, and I would not rashly give an order such as, has been said I gave." . ' The Municipal Reform Association, com- posed of citizens of all parties, have issued a manifesto to the voters of the city stating that they believe the occurrences of the past few days more than ever demand the sever- ance of party politics and municipal gov- ernment, and also stating that they place in r.ominatipn for the-various offices to be filled at thg approaching municipal election men ctfjirreproachable integrity and undoubted qualifications for the {positions, who have consented to accept the nominations merely from considerations of the public duty.
