The commanding officers are sanguine in their expressions as to no fear of a further outbreak. THE TROOPS TO WITHDRAW. The special committee of sixteen prominent citizens appointed to act as an advisory committee to Mayor Stephens , in his ofibrts to restore order and law , mot at the chamber of commerce this afternoon and resolved to advisp the withdrawal of the troops and appointing a sufficient special police force , it being the sense of the meeting that the presence of militia appeared to act moro as a menace to the withdrawn mob , that the latter are in reality moro fearful of a number of resolutely , well-organized _ po lice than of untrained young militia. Such recommendations have noon for warded to Governor Hoadloy , and it is almost certain that should no further outbreak occur , many of the militia will bo homeward bound by Tuesday ovoning. "SAFE" CONTENTS. It is now thought that the contents of all safes in the courthouse are saved. The will safe of the probate court , in which all wills are kept , is in excellent condi tion. THE WOUNDED , with a few exceptions , are uoing well. At the hospital , since the last report , Henry Niemoyer , Philip Raabo and Thos. P. Groan , have diod. The hospital phy sicians pronounce the patients from the riots as a most exceptionally FINE BODY OF MEN ) that with but few exceptions , they are a magnificently developed and splendidly formed class of mechanics and laborers.

The mos heartrending scenes have been occurring at thi morgue and city hospital all day Families missed one of their number r the , breakfast table. A search for thi missing ono in many instances resulted ii his being found either at the hospital o : at the dead house. As a reporter ontore ( Ward D of the city hospital , a scene pre sontdd itselt that would have drawi tears from the heart of a stone On each side of the ward thi cots were arranged about six fee apart , and between the cots were aoato < mothers , fathers , sisters , brothers. 1 mother would occasionally burst out it tears , saying , "My poor boy ! " A siste would exclaim , "Doctor , do you thinl my brother will die ? Can't you aav him ? " While some would smooth bad the matted hair frum the dampened fore heads of their relatives. "Doctor , do you think I will die ? asked a youth vrhoso breath now cam short and quick. The doctor , bondinj over him , and in a kindly tone : "Yes , am afraid there is no hope for you now. "Then please send for my mother , want to see her bnforo I die. ' * Hardly had he uttered these word when the poor , brokon-heartod motho rushed in through , the ward door. Hat tily looking around , she recognized ho boy and ran to his cot , when she frantic ally embraced him. The reporter am physicians loft them alone to their las parting on earth. OTHEH SCENES. In the northern portion of the ward i group of surgeons were amputating th < limb of Theodore Klaecklor , porter fo John G. Frat ? , the druggist , while walk ing up and down the center aisle wer dozens of friends and relatives whoa grief at times seemed uncontrollable Taken altogether it was the saddes scene ever witnessed. Dr. I ) . S. Young an old and skillful surgeon , says tha one-half the inmates of this ward wil die. This will swell the list of the dea < to nearly ono hundred. The doctors are complaining that it i almost impossible to treat the patient properly , owing to the interference c friends and relatives , While it is th rule of the hospital to admit no ono ut loss relatives , they find it impossible t refuse admission , so frantic is the di mand to see and identify the woundoc rEELINO AGAINST TUB MILITIA , CINCINNATI , Ohio , March 80. Thoi is much hard talk about the action of th militia. Numbers of people hold thoi responsible for the greater part o ! tl bloodshed. They charge them with reel less and indiscriminate firing and wit killing people whom everybody coul see were merely curious looker on , and were distinctly separate from tl mob. There ia doubtless aomo trul in this charge , but tbero are things tin can bo said in favor of the militia. Tl officers testify that there was rarely musket discharged , except under order Some of the privates say it gave the the greatest pain to bo compelled hoot , and they shot to kill only wh < their own safety demanded it. They a nearly all young men from the shops at stores , and none of them had ever ec ( trying service before. TIIK ACTION OF TIIE SOLDIEUS C11ITICISE Tlio action of the militia in charging crowd a little after noon is being severe criticised. An eye-witness of the aflt says about 100 men and boys were c < lectei on the north side of Canal , t tween Main and Walnut , and the boj to amuao themselves , began thtowi ; stones into the water. Several roc were thrown at the bridge at Muin stre crossing , and a squad of soldiers w were at the south end rf the bridge coi manded the boys to quit throwing. T boys in return called thp soldiers natni and began to advance toward the bridt The eoldiera cried out "Halt ! " and h scarcely given the command when a vol ley of firing followed. FrodSmaltz , 122 , supposed to bo a barkeeper at the Queen City hotel , was shot in the side , the ball passing entirely through the body and coming out nt the right side. The body was picked up by the crowd and berne to H. A. DustorDorg's , on Clay street , between - twoon Canal and Twelfth streets , whore Dr. Albors , who was pres ent , attempted to administer aid. Smaltz breathed but three times after reaching Dustorburg's , when ho diod. Patrol No. 3 took the body to Hablg's. In Smallz's pocket wore TO' commendations from Cotioy Island and Rockaway Beach saying ho was an hon est , industrious man. The excitement wns intense in the neighborhood , and the verdict of others who saw the shooting was that it was reckless and uncalled for. Some five or six shots were counted by the observers. Company A , of the Fourteenth regiment , commanded by Capt. 0. G. L , Pugh , did the shooting. Two or throe other men were wounded , but not seriously. HALSTEAD'S ACCOUNT. FE.W. YOUK , March 31. Murat Hal- stead , editor of The Commorcial-Gazotto of Cincinnati , reviews the riot * in that that city in tha following dispatch to The Now York Tribune : "Tho number of killed and wounded in the riot thus far is about 200. The last fatal shot fired in anger , up to this time , was fired between 4 and 5o'clock _ this morning though a poor soldier boy was killed this morning by the accidental discharge of his gun. The court house is not the utter ruin it was at first sup posed to bo. A largo proportion of the valuable records are safcd. The money in the trossury is all saved. The vaults , which were very heavy , are maiuly good. Wo have confidence that there is not to1 bo a repetition of the terrors of those thrco nights that will bo so memorable here ; but ONLY THE OVlUUVHELMINO FOUCE of state troops prevents a further disas trous devastation. The determination to lynch the gang of murderers in prison , and release the crowd of rioters who have been made prisoners , is something toi.'ific ; pid a secret mooting wan hold to-day that would moan mischief , if there wore a thousand rifles and several batter ies at hand. It is this display of power , making assaults from n mob hopeless , that will prevent outbreaks. The pres ence of regular troops from the Newport barracks at the aub-troasury last night wasan clement of confidence. In stormy times , blue cloth works well. ALL QUIET. The night has boon absolutely quiet. When the smallest nucleus of a crowd appeared anywhere within sight of the barricade , the soldiers ordered the people to move on , and in every instance the order was promptly obeyed. Young Getz , shot by accident in the afternoon , was still alive , but in a dying condition at 1 a. m. The city is patrolled to-night by mom. ' bora of the G. A. R. , in addition to the police forco. There have boon several arrests ol drunkenmon , and the police have closed the saloons at midnight. A smoldering faro in the recorder's office broke out in flames to-night , bul was soon extinguished. TIIE LATEST. Since the last report four additional deaths have occurred at the hospital , Fred. Bickonhorot , Leroy Simmons , Chas. Miller and Andrew Nichols. The exact number of dead and wounded will probably never bo ascertained on account of many wounded being carried away by friends. The number of killed outright and dy ing at the hospital up to midnight to. night is forty-one , as shown by the citj undertakers and hospital records , ant such information from those taken home as could bo had ; and the number o : wounded , compiled from the satm sources , is 120. Thorc are probably hall as many moro wounded whoso cases an not reported. VAY FOIl THE POLICE. The committee of fifteen , at a subsequent quent mooting , decided to raise by sub Bcription § 100,000 , to bo used to pn ; 2,000 extra police , this sum to bo a loai to the city until the sum expended maj bo raised by the proper appropriation and returned. This is to enable the with drawal of the military. ( Confesses Ills Guilt- . LACONIA , N. H. , March 31-Thoma Samon was arraigned to-day for thi murder of the Ruddy family and Mrs Ford last autumn.

The democratic party in Illinois is badly broken up , as n result of the recent withdrawal of Gover nor Hamilton from the race for ro-oloo- tion , iu favor of ox-Governor Oglosby. When Hamilton's candidacy was announ ced , the democracy became very jubilant and began laying pipe with a view to sweeping the state on the state ticket next fall , and with it , canning the state for the democratic presidential nominees. The slate agreed on included the mayor of Chicago , CAIlTKll HAIUIISOS' I'Oll OOVEUNOU , and Alderman Wickcrsham , of the first ward of Chicago , was to bo mayor to auc caod Harrison. Within the past few weeks Oglosby 1ms developed wonderful strength throughout the state , and since Hamilton's withdrawal there is no doubl of his nomination by the republicans bj acclamation. In view of the cortaint ) that the state la largely republican , liar risen fears to make the gubernatorial raci against him , and within the past day 01 has been shaping things to secure thi mayoralty in caao ho decides not to rui for governor. In doing this , ho has STIUHED ui' A "HOUNET'S NEST" in Wickoraham's bonnet , who has leu ai aldcrrmnio position slip while looking foi the mayoralty. Joe Maokln , the moo useful worker in the democratic ranks was nominated for alderman from thi first ward , but his nomination didn't suil Mayor Harrison , who succeeded to-nigh in forcing Mackin , much against his will to withdraw in favor of .Long John Wont worth's son Moses. The result ia tha there is a row of larged-aizcd dimension in the democratic ranks. TIIK ELECtlON for aldermen and township oflicora occur tii-morrow , and the democracy wori counting on a big vote to help along matters tors next fall.
