BR. in the Several Wards—14,000 Men and $183,000—Prudence and Impa- tience—“ Hangman Extraordi- vary to the Corporation”— Secret Instructions. ‘The fall and—except in afew unimportant particu. lars—eXact account of the desigus and doings of the pody of citizens calling themselves the ‘‘Law and Order Regulators,” which appeared iu the HERALD of Sunday last, while it awakened public curiusity and etimulated inquiry into the possibility of clean- ing out the Augean stable of metropolitan gover ment by the summary process recommended by the self-appointed avengers of the tax-ridaen people, thoroughly alarmed the more nervous members of the L, O. R., and rendered the leaders of it extremely cautious. Knowing full weil that having once ob- tained @ clue to the secrets of the Order the HERALD would spare neither expense nor trouble in ob- taining the earliest inteliugence of the further doings of the Grdée 26t Tie instruction and en- tertainmeut of ita million readers, a great effort was made co destroy the effect of the expos? by ridi- culing the article as a sensational hoax, and to pre- Vent the possibility of further disclosures being made through talkative members who were present at the Bleecker street conference. The greatest effort Lo secure ine first Was a weak column of pic- ayune Wil, in apicayuné morning paper, decrying the HERALD article; and for the accomplishment of the second object the gentieman suspected of “et. Ung the cat out of the bag” was taken in charge by persons haying authority i the Order and harried out of the city, But as oniy afew persons read the picayuus article, and as everybody read the Heratp, and as the banished Keguiator and bis patriotic brethren were wanted in Wall street and could nos remain away, these efforts proved utterly abortive. Ry soperigy enterprise yu skill the HeKaLo obtained possession a ¢ important informa. tion that a vigilance committee had been actually forined, and was in fail operation, under the taking title of the “L. O. K.,” and spread it before its readeré on Sunday tast. The advantage obtained has not been lost, as the fall and graphic account of the proceedings of the second meeting of the Regulators, given below, will amply prove. The location of the house wherem the meeting was held, and the wames of the leaders of the L. 0, R., are withheld, pursuant to @ pledge our reporter was compelled to give before he could obtaim he object he sought, How this report was secured, or through waomi, is of littie importanee to the public, but 10 is proper to say, for the information of the L.
