THE SITUATION YESTERDAY. in no other pertod of our ninety-five years’ history | of independence has so serious a question arisen to agitate the mind of the community as that which to-day and (or the last few days has absorbed the public mind, Repuolics in all ages have marked their progress to recognized supremacy by popular outbreaks, which resulted in the extension of the first conceived idea of ireedom, There was continu- ally, however, some barrier still to overcome, The wealth of particular tamilies would gradually ab- sorb the power and control of the State, and for a time neatralize the benefits and blessings of a republic which could only be maintained by the | votes—the blood and smew of @ free people. | The vaunted Agis of @ republic was not always potent cuough to protect the people in their rights { at home, and it was only when the “blast of war | blew in thelr ears’? that the usurping rulers were | compelled to call upor the patriotism and military | aid of their quondam sabject fellow citizens, that | the latter bad it in their power to reassert thelr | right as fellow citizens in “full commanion” with the republic itself and all tne safeguards to the per- sonal {freedom guaranteed under it. In the days’ ’ of the Roman republic no religious feud— the bane of later republics—had intervened its direful shadow to biind men’s eyes wo their common rigits and for a ceremony, or a badge, @ color, ur & name, to cause them to lose sight of the general welfare, or in their mad rage to sacrifice npon the altar of their bigotry and preju- dices their own manhood. The Roman Dentatus had not to appeal to the religious sense of the citl- zens who assembied on Mount Aventine determined to let the republic “go’’ rather than they should be the slaves of a domineering oligarchy who oppressed and tyranized over them. He appealed to their common sense, the possession of which among ; Christan men to-day appears to be rarer than it was in the days of paganism. The question may indeed here arise whether if | Dentatus had to deal with men wedded to religious prejudices and sectartan supremacy for which ail freedom would be willingly bartered—as between men looking only for political rights Inde- pendent of sect or creed, he would have been so successtul In lorming the dejecta membra of the poltical body and bringing them to face and defeat the common enemy at the walls of Rome. Other republics in Jater days bave, however, owed ther ‘decline and fall’ entirely to the religious Jeuds of their citizens— the most jatal and destructive clement chat was ever invented and directed against @ people's power, their rights and Itberties—the more insidious and baneful that it is always by the men they themselves have raised to high offices in the State that their downfall 18 niost desired, and by them eventnally accomplished, *Twere lone to tell and sad to trace ach step from splendor to disgrace.

Itis a great pity—thougnh it might have spoiled an episode in history—that persons too, instead of during the progress of the fight on the banks of the Bosne, that such bombshells ag tiie HERALD threw into the camps of either party, as well as in the manicipal camp yesterday, had uot deen fired as the WeraLp fired them on the lth, and then there would have been no ‘twelfth to celebrate, and all this tempest in @ teapot would have been avoided. It 1s well, how- ever, that the HERALD bombshells havo done their work so effectually. Tne citizens may rest easy. There will be no Orange procession to-day. The HERALD has sald, “Let us have peace,” and there is peace; and peace must be preserved from the Bat- tery to the utmost limit of the island, and through. out all the borders of the Metropolitan district — east, West, north and south. PREPARATIONS FOR THE DAY—THE ORANGEMEN ‘The iimes of old Peter Stuyvesant and his trusty trumpeter, Anthouy Von Corlears, are past, when the said Peter communicated to the said Anthony his mandates, and Anthony blew the same to “every ear,” and tne words of Peter came to pass, The MEKALD from its watch tower called in good season upon the authorities vo take prompt action to suppress the threatening internecine feud, whicn, if allowed to assume the proportions contem- piated, would assurediy have lea to bloodshed and murder-—to death and mourning, and to the sowing broadcast throughout the land of seed that could never be eradicated, and the order for the suppres- ston ot the [ih pr Orange demonstration and pic- nic was promulgated. The citizens were first nade aware ol this order emanating from Super ntendent Kelso through the HgRALD, and the hearts of the well disposed and peaceaole and law-abiding citizens of every nationality and denomination were made glad thereby. As might be supposed, in view of the opposition with which the Ocangemen were tireatened, most formidable defensive and oifensive preparations were made on their part. The class to whien the members of the Urauge Society, or, as they are here known, “The Protestant American Association.” belong, have sprung from the dom pant party at home, which long “ruled the youet”’ there, They were not o/ the people who first made tne great West their home, They were no¢ of that class which had no rights tiat the government and {ts Protestant supporters were bound to respect, and, therefore, unt later years, i was not the grea’ republic which the tenants of the large Pro- testant landowners selected a¢ their home when they emigrated, but the congenial soil of Canada—a — British — dependency—where — they could celebrate the Twelfth and discharge their “Kentish fire’ with all the ¢éciat and intolor ance of former days. When, however, they had here it respectable numbers they formed ives into the American Protestant Associa- tion, and have ever continuce to all ments and pur- poses true and loyal citizens, THE KOYS IN GREED or rather those known as Ribponimea, the sworn enemies on the other side of the class of Irishmen just rererred to, were never deceived py this change of name. Ax they would say themselves, they dis- covered the “cloven foot,” and the members of the Assocmiion were, In their eyes, as ‘black Orange- men” here as ever they were at homie, and hence the rancor and hate with whicn they always looked on each other were borne with either party across the broad Auantic. The Ribboumen determined at their lodges, or places of meeting, that this “new departure’? of the Orange- men to celebrate in Gitis city the 12th of July, of hate- fal memory to them, should not he allowed; or if attempted thas they, the Orangemen, would rue the day they revived such memories in this new land. ‘The consequence was that in spite of the appeals of their clergy, the admonitions of the past and the expected interference of the authorities to preserve eace al all hagards, a plan for intercepting the procession at several points on the itne of march was adopted and the order of attack fixed apon. Luckily for THE PRACE OF THE CITY the Heratp stepped tnto the breach at the nick of time, 1¢ called upon the authorues to put an im. mediate quiets to those most threatening proceed: iugs, and hence tthe ORDER OF SUPERINTENDENT KELSO.

THE ORANGEMEN NOT TO MARCH. A prominent chief of the American Protestant Association called at this office last evening and stated that the lodges would not assemble tor the purpose of joming in pro jon and holding the contemplated picnic. They pled the order of tne Superintendent of Pohce prohibiting them in the exercise of what they deemed the privilege of ' citizenship as enjoyed and exercised by all other classes of their fellow citizens. ‘hat they not only bowed to the laws, as they would do under any cir- cumstances, bat that they had in fact as well to succumb in presence of the hostile organizations that would be brougut against them, and a collision HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JULY | an oficial sense with General Shaler. | gentleman was going down the headquarter atairs yA “~: 1 It 1s to be hoped, however, that the service of the troops will not be required at all, FEELING AROUND THE TOWY, ‘Talks with Superintendent Kelso, Commis- er Smith, General Shaler aud Others, All day long yesterday Superintendent Kelso sat in his chair at Police Headquarters reading tele- grams and sending despatches to the different pre- cincts, and late this morning he was still at his post, looking after the peace and welfare of the city, A more (iMicait and thankless positron than that held by Kelso cannot well be imagined. The Superintendent, feeling that an ounce of pre- vention 1s better than @ pound of cure, in this bellef he issued hia now famous order to save the city, A reporter of the HeraLp catled yesterday at headquarters, and saw there evidences of prepara- tion for the coming fray. Carriages were coming and going, and aide-de-camps were flying around at & great rate, During the afternoon General Shaler and two officers in citizens dress called on the Police Com- Tolsstoners and was closeted privately with ther. Henry Smith, the President of the Board of Poilico | Commission, was in his room, but he stated to our reporter that ne had not held any communication tn As the latter the ITeRALD reporter made the followtng attempt to | interview him:— HERALD REPORTER—General Shaler, what prep: arations are you making to prevent trouble to- ; Morrowy General SHALER— All the necessary preparations | have been made already.

A large force of citizen soldiers are ordered to be at several armories all day to-day.

The HERALD has | said, Let us have peace, and we must have peace. THE MILITARY PREPARATIONS. A Large Number ef Troops Ordered Under Arms—Infaniry, Cavalry and Howitzers as Peacemakera—Forty Rounds of Ammuultion the Man. There seems to be considerable apprehension in military c:rcies that there will be cause for tbe in- terposition of the military to-day, notwithstanding the order of the Superintendent of Police. The ' neadquarters of the rirst division were thronged all day yesterday by inawring members of THE NATIONAL GUARD, who were anxious to ascertain for certain whether or not their services would be required. It would be, indeed, very hard to tell exactly how the sym patbies of the militia as a whole stand as regards tne cause of the general exciiement, ut, judging from the way the General command- ing was yesterday begged to detail such and such & regiment for duty, the men are very anxious to take a hand tn whatever row may take place. A HERALD reporter called upon General Snaler yesterday after- noon and found him ina great hurry to get away from the headquarters, probably in horrible antici- pation of the speedy arrival of a division or two of newspaper interviewers, “Well, General,” exclaimed the reporter, ‘have you issued apy orders to the National Guard 7’ The General is a regular old soldier, and never says a word more than 1s necessary when he gets into an official talk; so he made answer quite promptly :. “f have issued a great many orders to the National Guard.” “To-day?” “1 aidn’t say anything about to-day,” and the General gave a sly wink at Colonel Braine, of the Ninth, who was standing by, awaiting until the two could leave the premises together, “what I mean,” persisted the reporter, “is, have you made any preparation for any anticipated trou- ble to-morrow !"" “Yes,” “Issued orders for the assembling of the militia!” “Because I do not wish to let our plans be Known to the public.’ “You consider that a precautionary measure”? “Exactly.” “Then you can tell me WHAT REGIMENTS ARE ORDERED under arms,"? “I didn’t say any were ordered under arms. presume 0.” “My presumption {s a correct one.’ “Are you sure ?? “Positive.”? “T doubt if you can be.” “Well, I've got in my pocket an order calling upon the Seventy-first to get itself in readiness.”” “Ah! Well,” and the General grinned broadiy, “I ‘will tell you, Orders have been issued to the troops to be im readiness at a moment's call to-morrow; but I cannot let you know how many or wnat regi- ments have received orders.”’ “Do the orders simp!y compet the men to assem- bl @ given signal irom their piaces of business /” a e orders compel them to be at their ar- mories sharp at seven A. of the order:— BPECIAL ORDERG—NO, 16.

A few minutes after the reporter called upon Com- missioner Henry Smith and on Commissioner Man- \ niere, The latter gentleman was engaged in reading * acopy of @ morning paper, and seemed very much preoccupied. | ReporTer—Have the Board of Police Commis- missioners taken any action in regard to the Orange | troubles? , . Commissoner SatrH—No, sir; we have received no intimation of any kind that etther the Orange- men or the Hibernians are to march. All that we know we Jearn from the papers. Everything is in pe hands of the Superintendent of Police, Mr. e180. Commiasioner MANNIERE—Yes, all that we hear about this business comes from the papers. We 1 have no oficial intimation of the marching of pro- | cessions. Tne Orangemen have not called upon us | for protection of any kind. ; _ A largo number of merchants, bankers and promi- | nent citizens called upon the Superintendent of Police to thank bim for issuing his order pronibit- ! ing the parade of the Orangemen, | me old gentleman said:—“I thank you, sir, for that order, and in a few days you may be sure you ) will be sustained im your timely action. I don’t know anything about the Orangemen or the Hiber- nians, but shall go to bed safe to-night, and so will my wife and children.” ‘The Superintendent will be at his post all day to- day, and will personally supervise every movement of his trusty battalions. All the Captains in the | different precincts will await orders and will be ready to move at a given warning. Groups and crowds will be dispersed wherever they gather, and | large bodies of men will not be allowed to form or march in military array, no matter what the pre- text may be. Late during the afternoon a rumor was circulated that the Orangemen would not parade and that their | Grand Council had advised them to abstain from any public procession and from carrying banners or piaying of party tunes. The Orangemen wherever ; they were met with seemed thoroughiy frightened at the preparations of their foes, and @ larze | minority publicly asserted that they did not wish to and were not going to the parade. Others denounced John J. Bond, the Grand Master of the United States, for his cowardly couduct in attempting tostop the parade, while many sustained his action. Que Orangeman declared that if they ‘were not allowed to parade by Kelso in New York that they would go to Jersey City and fight it out where they could get room. } _ It was believed that if the Hibernians attacked the ; Oranzemen that they would Jo it while the proces- { ee Was in motion, and at different points, the | Hidernians moving in smali detachments, within | Supporiing distance of each other, with signs and passwords, and without uniforms. Late yesterday afternoon a young man with a closely Shaven face, wearing mixed drab clothes and mea<uring about five feet eight inches in height, called at the HERALD office and presented his card, which bore the name of James W. Gould, with residence written on the card, ‘203 Waverley plac and place of business at 84 John street. He stared that he was the District Master of the Orange | Jodges of this district, which goes by the title of the “Prince of Orange District.” ‘That these tweive lodges under his authority, which was the et body wnat had made arrangements to turn out and march in procession, numered about one hundred men each, and that tne Orange authorities had issued an order counterman jing the parade, and that, consequently, no procession of Orangemen would take piace either in New York city or Jersey vity to-day. no possibie chance for the Orangemen if they turned out, as thoy would not be more than a mouthful for the Hibernians, who are in great numbers and yeady and drilled to make a fight. A BOULEVARDIST ON THE SUTUATION, They Are Sntisfied with the Order Prohibitin All Parades—They Don’t Want to Ta if the Orangemen Don’t. The action of Superintendent Kelso in prohibiting the Orange procession on the 12th of July was re ceived on the boulevards and on the neighboring works with the greatest satisfaction yesterday, and the question of the probable action of the Orange- men was discussed by the various groups of laborers in the intervals of their toll, and apparently withont being able to arrive at any satisfactory decision. Some maintained strongly that the affair would not come off, as the police would be certain to DISPERSE THE ORANGEMEN should they venture to appear, while others dog- held to the opinion that the police proclama- tion would certainly be disregarded. But in every case the interest felt in the result was intense, and the excitement though subdued was still visible. In their conversation with the HERALD reporter the men evidentiy did not care to say all that fully oa and | they felt; but stilion the broad issue they had in no 1871.—LRIPLE SHEET.

There was one point, however, upon which all were ureed—to wit, that if the admirers of the “great aud glorious memory"’ made their appearance in public there would be “WIGS ON THE GREEN,” and @ good many oi them orange wigs.

On all sides, however, @ good deal of satisfaction was expressed that violence had been renuered un- necessary by the action of the police, and the senti- ment of peace seemed to be decidedly in the ascend- ent; but it must be confessed that not one man said a word which could be interpreted as a desire for peace at any price. As the conditions were honor- able, however, the men seemed only too happy to accept them and so escape the responsibility which would inevitably attach to them should there be A CONFLICT IN THE STREETS. If the Orangemen, they said, be prevented from “1 cannot teil you which they are; and bowing | parading, then there will be no disturbance; but pontety the Geveral jumped into a close carnage with Colonel Braine and rapidly drove up Mercer street, on his Way, It was supposed, to the Seventh | May be, avenue armory, where the ammunidon for the Navlonal Guard is store: Notwithstanding Generai Shaler’s reticence as to What regimenis are ezderca under arais, informa. tion obtained at the regimental headquarters show the foliowing to be the commands whom the special order affects:-— Seventh tuiantry, Eighth infantry, Ninth infantry, i Seventy-first infantry, ‘Twenty-secoud infantry, bird cay A BATYERY OF KNOCK-DOWN AKG re.

There could be no mistaking the deep earnestness with which the men uttered these words, It was evident that their minds were made up and that nothing would turn them aside trom their resolve but the abandonment of the proces- sion, It was a strange thing to look at the gangs of men steadily at work as if all were peace within aud there was no disturbing thought im their breasts, No one who had not been told could for a imoment imagine that these quiet looking groups of wen, Working 80 indastriously with pick and shovel oud sleagehammer, had made up their minds to set their lives on the hazard of adie.

Approaching a gang of men who were at work on the boulevard the HeRaLp reporter engaged in conversation on general topics for a few minutes ‘with the foreman of the gang, who proved to be & rather intelligent man, of a quiet, business-like manner.

THE TALK ALONG THE DOCKS, A HERALD reporter spent part of yesterday even- ing along the docks chatting with the 'Longsnore- men on things in general and the promised Orange row in particular, His experience ts that nearly every docx laborer in the city, Who ts not a Fenian, isa member of the Ancient Order of Hivernians, or transplanted Ribvom society. All the 'Long- shoremen not actually at work were gathered in knots of half a dozen each at the heads of the docks and on the corners of the river streets con+ versing iu earnest and mysterlous whispers. Ap- proaching one of these groups very gingerly the reporter said, ‘Well, boys, what's the news from the Orangemen {" to which one of the boys answered, “Och, be jabers, the news couldn't be worse, Ould Kelso gev the damned villains an excuse for staying at home to-morrow and saving their skius,’” “But im tould,” said a bravny aud sunburned representative of the bone and sinew of America and ex-member of the Anest sun, his peelers say at all, and that they’ have jana ‘ade out anyhow. sowl, but i y show that much pluck 1 could almost res st he thmtation of Knovkim blazes out of ‘em,’ “Pon't be talkin’ thratson for nothing, Jim,’ said a comrade; “you know you never resisted any timptation m all your life; and why should you resist @ good one like this?

INDIGNATION OF THE PRODUCE MERCHANTS. Amecting of the produce merchants was held at their Exchange, yesterday afternoon, immediately after the usual hour for the close of bustness. Mr. Bonsall was the first speaker, aad he referred to the order issued by Superintendent Kelso forbidding the parade of the Orange societies, He wished lor an expression of opinion on the part of the members of the Exchange. As far as his own opinion went he was in favor of allowing every class of citizens to marcn through the streets; and that 1t was the duty of the authorities, Who had the preservat.on of the peave contided to their care, to protect wmese citl- zens in their parade, @Some amusement was created here by “the Negro” of the Exchange endeavoring to break up the mecting by @ Vigo.ous striking of the “yong.” ‘The darkey was requested to desist by the “Orange”? sympathizers, but the Secretary ol the Exchauge ordered him tO go on and beat hell out of ti.

In former years the Orange and American Protes- tant associations afiilated on these aauiversary oc- casions and marched side by side to the music of their bands without fear or molestauon, But dur- ing the last few years there has been a split among them, and last year this split came to an open rup- ture, when the American Protestant Association were forbidden to take part in the Orange proces- sion. The knowiedge of this trouble embuldened the Catholic party, wuo took advantage of the weakness of their opponents and commenced the assault which ended so fatally. The same banaers, devices, music, insignia and everyting that had been used on former occasions without oence were then used, and had been proposed for use to-day also, and up to the hour of closing business very few except the leaders nad any knowledge o: the action of their officers counvermauding the provessiou, Paterson, N.
