The shoddy contractors, and especially the mobocrats from Kentucky, could not let the opportunity pass on Saturday night without disgracing our city with scenes of violence and bloodshed. The Lincoln journal, Commercial, in its issue of yesterday deliberately gave publication to what they knew was false, and thus wrongly informing the public as to the facts as they really occurred. As we stated in our issue of Sunday morning, the procession was, to a considerable extent, composed of soldiers and boys, with many drunken rowdies hired at $3 a head for the occasion.

These unprincipled demagogues were bend on a disturbance, and to this end were "armed to the teeth." Two Lincolnites, Postmaster Cummins of Covington, and a man named Reed, were the leaders of the disgraceful gag mobocrats from Kentucky, and to them the citizens of the 4^th Ward are indebted for the violence and bloodshed which occurred on Saturday night. This same crowd passed by this office, yelling like so many demons, and taking advantage of the absence from the office of the proprietors and editors, hurled several boulders, without pretense of provocation, at the Enquirer building, smashing a large door glass panel with one of their stones. Their noises, hoots, and demoniac drunken screams we care not for, but when they resort to violence on our property, we denounce the perpetrators as cowards and scoundrels, who dare not make themselves known. They continued on down Vine street, using the most obscene and insulting language, and of such a character to be unfit for publication. These epithets were followed by stones thrown into the crowds of women and children which thronged the side walk producing the wildest excitement. Cummins and Reed then, as it is charged rode up and down the column, rallying the mob to concentrate and fire upon the innocent spectators who simply gave expression to their preference for the Presidency by Shouting for McClellan. The shooting by the mobocrats from Kentucky was indiscriminate and rapid. One unfortunate female named Margaret Connely receiving three pistol shots to her right breast, from the effects of which she died almost instantly. A man named Armstrong, who was shot and carried into the Drug Store on the corner of Race and Fourth streets, was followed into the store by both Cummins and Reed on horseback, and when they were requested by the proprietor, a Republican, to go out of his store, one of the party presented his pistol at the head of the druggist and would have fired but was prevented by a well known citizen on Vince street, who was standing near.

To detail all the outrages perpetrated by this mob would occupy more space than we have to-day. Let it suffice that the whole affair was an unmitigated outrage, and calls for the speedy punishment of the participants in it.

The Gazette of yesterday morning gives the following version"

"The delegation from Covington was returning to that city about the hour above mentioned, and the head of the procession had reached the ferry-boat when it was ordered back by the Marshal, Mr. Cummings, and his assistant. The party returned to the corner of Vine and Front streets, at which point were congregated a large number of women and children. Here several shots were fired, and among them those that took effect on the unfortunate woman whom we have named.

Eleven witnesses were examined, many of them said to be of respectability and entitled to all confidence, and some of whom stated that such phrases as the following were made use of by the officers of the procession: 'Come on, I'll show you how to draw blood;' 'come and let us clean out the Fourth Ward.' These witnesses also stated that the only provocation given for this, lay in the fact that a little boy shouted for McClellan and endeavored to take a torch from the hands of a boy in the ranks of the delegation

Another witness stated that he was standing alone at the intersection of Vine and Front streets, when some man from the procession rode up and deliberately fired two shots at him, one of which took effect in the sidewalk between his feet. A great deal of indiscriminate shooting was then taking place on the opposite side of the street, and he claims that all the firing was from weapons in the hands of Covintonians."

There is very properly much indignation among the citizens of the 4^th Ward and a determination has been decided upon by them and the Democracy of the city that a repetition in that ward or in the city shall not again occur.

We have another instance which occurred near the corner of Central Avenue and Seventh streets. Mr. Joseph Steele, a well known Democrat, was standing at that locality quietly looking at the procession when a voice cried out, "There is butternut Steele," and followed the expression by throwing upon him a dipperful of blue light, burning his clothes, stomach and limbs. The injuries sustained by the burning were of a most serious character, as we learn from his physician, Dr. Johnston. The perpetrator of this villany is unknown, except he was a member of the Lincoln procession on last Saturday night..
