THE CINCINNATI RIOTS.
Etitauti4Avt, April a.
The 'result of yesterday's eleetion is still un
decided. •It is alleged that, fraud tuts been
discovered in the twelfth Ward; which Rave
Farren, (Dem ,) for Mayer, about 600 majori
ty, and it is now proposed to throw out the
entire veto. If this is done; Taylor the Know
Nothing candidate; will have,about 100 major
ity; but if the vote of this ,ward is counted,
Farren will have from 400 to 500 majority.—
The Eleventh Nlrd, the ballot box( s of which
were destroyedy the mob, is- supposed tp
have given Far-re , from 600 to 700 majority :
and had the entire vote of the city been coun
ted, the whole Democratic ticket would have
been elected by from 500 to 1000 majority.
There was nn more rioting last night Tit(
exettement is still very great.', It is suppos
ed that ten or twelve persons Wave been kil'ed
or mortally wounded. Pistols were discharged
indiscriminately, and the only wonder is, that
the destruction of life was not greater. It
was altogether, the most disgraceful election
day ever eitperienced in Cincinnati.
CINCINNATi, April 3-3 P. M
It was ascertained upon an investigation of
the ballot boxes in the Twelfth Ward, that
they contained fifty five more tickets than
there were names on the poll books, and ono
of the Judges of the election insisted upon
throwing out the entire vote, Ind the other
Would not agree to the proposition. While
the Judges were counting, the votes a body of
men forced their way into the room, and sei
zing the boxes containing the tickets, carried
them to ?ether with the tally sheets, into the
open stroet, and burned thew in the presence
of the crowd.
The votes of the I lth and 12th wards are
thus destroyed. The votes of the remaining,
wards give .Tnyhyr. the Know Nothing enndi
date for Mayor. 47.7 majority. The Know
Nothings comend that there %yes a large ille
gal-vote-polled in all the wards.
It is reported that Mr. Taylor will not rc
cept the office of Mayor under these circum
stances.
CINCINNATI, April 3-9 P. M
The excitement continues without abate
ment. The cannon taken from the German .1
yesterday by the Americans. was quietly con
veyed from the Public Landing this afternoon,
by the former. An immense number of pe-
ple are assembled in the Fifth street Market
space. They home sent a committee -to the
Freeman's Hall, over the canal for the pur
pose of regaining the cannon, end have re
solved that, if not given up forthwith, -they,
will go and take it'egain. This they will at
tempt if necessary, and a7otber serious riot
will probably mind.
The excitement continued until a late hour
last night, and the Germiths'refusing to de
liver up their cannon, the most exaggerated
reports were circulated of disturbances, arid
in many cases, German families, anticipati
the renewal of the riot, and fearing attack,
armed and fortified themselves in ti , arr houses.
Nothing, however, transpired. This morning
tho crowd ra-assembled in the Fifth street
market space, and the greatest excitement
was manifested. The. military are under arms
awaiting orders. The Germans have agreed
to deliver up their cannon at ten o'clock this
morning, awl if this agreement is °lmplied
with, it may prevent the threatened collis
ion.
CINCINNATI, April 4-1 P. M
There has been no fighting to day. The
Germans delivered up their cannon, but re•
tained peaession of the wheels The parties
are now cjiliirreling about the latter. The
military are still under arms; but the indica
tions are that the difficulties will be settled
without further blood-shed. .
CINCINNATI, April 4-6 P. M
The military. this afternoon, under tho di
rection of the Sheriff, marched over the canal.
and took possession of the wheels of tho can•
non that had been retained by the Germans.
This having been accomplished, the crowd
.dispersed, and matters are now rapidly quiet
ing down. No further disturbances are ap
pretended.
It is understood that the Know Nothing held
a meeting to-night, to express their views with
refferonee to the late proceedings.

and convents," in order to ascertain whether
any specie s of injustice was practiced in such
establishments, which ought to be "remedied
by law. This Committee commenced its labors
by visiting a school in Rozbity kept t y so en
Catholic Sitters of Charity; No lets than
twenty-four persons went as - the Committee,
and made a' thorough investigation of the es
