From the New York Trivune, Aug. 29 At tho close of the oxorcise when tho au- dienco roso to retiro, Mr. Moulton, accompanied by frionds and policernon in uniform, sud ouo or moro dotoctivos in citizen's dress at his sido, medo his way from tho reporters’ tablo toward the left-hand rear entranco of tho nudienco- room, Boforo ho renched tha door & small erowd bnu scttled closs sbout bim, some of whom looted st him and applied fusulting epithets. As ho Wwas pagsing thirough tho ner daor, whoro tho crush behind was very sevore, tLio most bofuterous domonstrations woro made. Ono old mon sprang forward with » grest show of rago, trying to strika or to soizo bold of Mr. Mouiton. ~Soveral police-ofticors now interfered, planting themeelves botweon MMr. Mouiton mnd the orowd, nnd threstening with their clubg, For o moment a fiononl fight was __ imminent in ‘the nllway, but Tix. Moulton and bis friends bhad havdly renchied tho narrow alloy slongside tho church beforo Ecoron of porsons_had succeoded in passiug the squad of police. Hulf way down the alloy they overtook him, andbo was sgain in dunger of peraonal vigtonce. It was a respectable-looking erowd, elgo it might bo termod s mob; but for tiio timo being there wae respectability ran mad. Tie was hurricd through tho atloy, thu darkness Perving to ndo him, and Lia frionds protecting Nim from attack ns_ woll s thoy could, until, when he renchoa the iron gate opening upon tho Orauge-straet sidewalk, another crowd mot him, and n'general rush was wado, An additional police-forco hero threw thomsalves into the midst, thoir clubs and threats cut tho air with cqual fores, snd, by o Tapid and dircct move- meont, Mr. Moulton was hustled into biscarringo. Daring all this time tho crowd was noisy with cxettamont, The streot resoundod with the mob- liko shouts of ** Club him|" “ Xuock bim down 1" i $haot him!" Tha policenon were thick, and wera able to proveat nny personal injury to Mr. Moulton, but, whilo he ontered his carrioge, it was entiraly surrounded, aud sn attempt was made to_hold it back. A fow rash onos canght tho bridles of tho borseaj others, less reck- less, but equally exeited and unreasonable, werzed Lold of the wheels nod steps and doors. I'ho borses wero facing down Orango strect, ond, when r, Moulton and ono or two friends wora knfoly ineide, Capt. Bourso of the Second Precinct sprang upon the driver's seat, tho whip was quickly lsid upon tho borscs, tho drivor turned them sharply around, seattering thoso who were trying to dotain the carriages, Whirl- Ing along Orange atract, the Lorsas upon a fast run, many followed with equal rapidity, and still ‘sounding” forth repronches, until the carmriago hud turped up Henry street, and bad passed a Llock or two, The carringo was driven long Houry atrect to Moutaguo, thonco to Iicks strooi, aud thonce to Reman_etroet, No. 49, tho residonco of Air. Moulton, Tho gentloman im- mediately nlighted, and, with two or throo friends oud Capt. Browuo, walked norvously to thie staps just as o trio of reporters reached the door. ‘I'he outer snd ipner doors were closad behiud them, but hardly s momeg# later tho bell was sbarply pulled, nod Mr. Moulton himself Iollowed his servant to the door. Ho prosented the appoarsuca of a man who hind }uut omerged from a rough-and tumblo fight 3 his hair disturbod, bis faco flushed, his toat ruflled, and bis whito pautaloons soiled. Altliough ho had proserved his solf-posscasion o his way out of tho church, in spito of tho dunger #o near at hand, but 88 ho stood in the door ho exhibited much excitement and no littlo indignation.
