The Ninth regiment, in the loss of Mr. Page, late one of the eubordinate officials of the Grand Opera House, has lost an amiable and worthy man, whose untimely cutting off will be widely lamented. But his @eath was glorious iu the cause of liberty and law, and bis claims in this regard aud bis memory, wo hope, will vot be neglected. NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY. JULY 14. 187L=WITH SUPPLEMENT TRS Titempa ef Liberty and Law—A Glor'ows Victory. The efty of New York, in the maintenance of the constitutional rights of the people and of liberty and law, stands vindicated before the country and the world, The public indig- nation against the attempted surrender of the city to the mob was changed to public congratulations with the publication of the Governor's announcement that to the extent of the military forces and defensive resources at his command the Oranye societies, if necessary, would be protected in their parade. Best of all, when put to the test upon this proclamation in behulf of the law and of the great principle of equal rights, the Governor and the city authorities, proved themselves at all points equal to the emergency and to all possible combinations of riotous men though ten times in numbers greater than the com- binations routed and dispersed. The crowning result is the triumph of liberty and Jaw; and, all things considered, so great a victory has seldom been so cheaply purckased. How remarkable have been the transitions of the public feeling from day to day since Monday last! On that day the good and seasonable advice of Archbishop McCloskey and his clergy of this city on Sunday last to the Irish Catholics in reference to the Orange procession it was hoped would have a good effect upon even the most belligerent of the Hibernian Order, particularly as those whole- some instructions wera published in full in the HeRacp and substantially in all the daily jour- nals of the metropolis. But on Tuesday, with the promulgation of Order No. 57 from police headquarters, and the indignant com- ments of the public press thereon, a cloud of disgrace cast its dark shadow over our fair metropolis, and made gloomy the countenance’ of every honest man. Wednes- day came upon us—a beautiful sum- mer day—yet morally lurid and threat- ening from the ominous gatherings and movements of reckless desperadoes bent upon mischief, while at the same time every honest face had brightened from the reading of the Governor's manly proclamation. On Thursday morning—the battle having been fought and won for equal rights, the con- stitution, liberty and law—the brightness of the unclouded firmament was fully reflected in the honest faces of our fellow itizens of all nationalities and creeds, races and classes, Protestants and Catholics, natives and foreign born, whites, yellows and blacks. The honor of our city had been vindicated and the su- premacy of law and order here had been main- tained. The universal sense of relief experienced is refreshing to contemplate, for it appears to be the general opinion that we have had an end of such bold defiance to the principle of equal privileges for all and to governmental authe- rity. ‘Yes, the community breathes free again since the issue bas been made and right ond American freedom have been so well sus- tained. The bated breath of anxiety of Mon- day and Wednesday and the compressed lips of indignation on Tuesday at the surrender to mob dictation have given way to general satisfac- tion, Though the cost has been great in achieving the triumph of American freedom, equality and lawful authority over the mob, the result will compensate that. The shedding of blood is deplorable—particularly the blood of the innocent—but this has been the inevitable price of maintaining liberty and equal justice in the community. Our citizens hope now that the lesson of Wednes- day will prevent the mob from repeating the dangerous experiment they tried. But, to use a familiar expression, to be fore- warned is to be forearmed. Let us look at the cause of this trouble and endeavor to re- move it, or at least to be prepared to prevent a recurrence of the terrible scenes of Wednesday. First, then, as the Or- ange societies have had conceded to them the same privileze of assembling and pa- rading as the Catholics and others have, and have been protected in this by the strong band of the goverament, even at the cost of blood, considerable outlay of money by the government and of cost to our citizens in the suspension of business, let them not be puffed up by conceit, and imagine that they are spe- cially favored. The mass of our commu- nity have no sympathy with them in their old time and Old World quarrel. The American people care nothing for King William, King James, the Battle of the Boyne, or any of tue factious quarrels of Ire- land or England. Indeed, they are heartily sick of them. They think that these Euro- pean foreigners who come to America to be- come citizens or to enjoy the protection of our government should leave their old prejudices behind in Europe, and should either become thoroughly Americanized or pay due respect to the peace of this country while residents here. One class of foreigners, whether natu- ralized or not, ought not, from mere whim or prejudice, voluntarily and unnecessarily pro- voke the passions of other foreign born people. For the sake of the country that affords them protection they ought, if necessary, to give up something—to yield a portion of their lib- erty—and to consider the prejudices of others, Defiance begets defiance. Let the Orangemen remember that the strong hand of our city and State governments was not ex- tended to them because they are Orangemen or Protestants, not because there was any sympathy for them in their ridiculous factious quarrel with the Ribbonmen. It was simply to vindicate the equal rights of all, and to maintain that liberty which isthe foundation of our institations against mob dictation. Having been eccured and defended in this right it would be well if the Orangemen would henceforth forego any unnecessary pro- voking parades, Let us saya word, also, to our adopted Catholic fellow citizens, particularly to those from Ireland. We say to them—and they ought to know this without being reminded of it—that nothing is more obnoxious to the American people than religious bigotry or reli- gious intolerance, All religions are on the same footing here; all are tolerated and pro- tected. None can claim special privileges. The Catholics, above all others, ought to be carefal not to show intolerance, because there is a general impression, at least outside of tife Catholic Church, that Catholicism is based on intolerance, that all other Christians are pro- scribed by that Church, and that if it had the power it would coerce all other sects. We do not say that this is» just impression. that en- lightened American Catholics would coerce others if they had the power; but, right or wrong, that is the opinion of a large majority of our Protestant population. It should be remembered, too, that fully five-sixths of the population of this republic are Protestants. Any hostility or assumption on the part of Catholics, therefore, must arouse all the Pro- testant sects of the country against them, and could only prove damaging to the Catholics themselves. Archbishop McCloskey, in his address last Sunday, told the Catholic Irish the injury they were likely to do to their reli- gion if they made a riot in hostility to the Protestant Orangemen. He was not mis- taken. The riot has aroused an intense anti- Catholic feeling. The assumption of some of the rioters, too, that New York was chiefly an Irish city, and that the city government was under the control of the Irish element, has provoked the Protestants and American born citizens, While this was a foolish sssump- tion, and contrary to fact, the conduct of the bulk of the Irish population last Wednesday strengthened the impression that Irishmen really entertained this opinion, Those who foolishly made such @ boast forgot that with all the foreigners here more than half the pop- ulation are native Americans, and that only little over one-fifth are Irish. What we bave said to the Orangemen, then, we repeat to the Irish Catholics, to forbear in the future from giving any provocation to their opponents. The Irish Catholics can very well afford to let the Orangemen alone, and, if they please, smile with indifference at their silly baoners and devices that relate to a bygone age; for the Orangemen are insignificant in number, while these Irish Catholics are numerous and strong. Let the lesson on Wednesday teach them that all are on the same footing in this free country, and that mobs cannot rule here. Let both factions bury their Old World preju- dices and become good and devoted American citizens, Tho Strength ef Republican Gevernment. Monarchists and the aristocratic ruling classes of Europe are in the habit of depre- cating republican institutions and government as weak, unstable and Insufficient to preserve order and protect property. This assumption, too, is generally the basis of the arguments of European writers against republics. We have given an ample refutation to this assumption throughout the history of this republic. On Wedoesday we gave in this city of New York aremarkable example of the strength of re- publican government by the-suppresaion of the riot and maintenance of the equal privileges of all classes. In this city we have a larger turbaolent class than in almost any other place, composed of foreigners for the most part, who have not learned to understand well our institutions, and many of whom are refugees from Europe for having been concerned in disorders there. Yet when they arrayed themselves against the government and peaco of the city the authorities, without a standing army and a comparatively small police force, effectually squelched the rioters. This turbu- lent element assumed to be the power of New York, claimed and boasted, in fact, that the city belonged. to them, and thought it could ride rough shod over whomaoever it pleased. But the militia—our citizen soldiery—and a com- paratively small body of police, backed by pub- lic sentiment, vindicated the supremacy of law and order, and proved that, without a stand- ing army or the aid of the federal authorities, our local republican government was strong enough for the occasion. So it has always teen, If the riot had been mnch more for- midable the result would have been the same; for there were ample power and resources not called forth which the government could have promptly invoked. Theo what monarchi- cal government ever suppressed a more gigan- tio rebellion or maintained its authority under more trying circumstances than the federal government did in the late war with the South? The truth is, a well-established repub- lic like ours is the strongest sort of government, because it rests upon the public sentiment of the conservative masses, and can call forth its defenders at any time from all the avocations of civil life. The people make tie laws them- selves, and will see that they are executed in times of peril. An U-feaonte Comireversy that Needs Light. There seems to be a very unfortunate mud- dle over the conduct of a few of the militia regiments that took part in the suppression of the riots. Among other things not creditable it is said that the men fired without waiting for orders from their commanding officers, and that some of the slaughter that resulted was unnecessary and faexcusable. Bearing on these points we print elsewhere the statements of some police officers, charging gross cure- lessness and unsoldierly conduct upon the Eighty-fourth regiment in particular. We say this is very unfortunate, for we fiud so much cause for congratulation in the prompt crushing out of the riotous element in our midst that we regret there should be any cause for complaint against the men to whom the principal credit has been awarded. But if these stories and complaints have any solid foundation to rest upon they should be investi- gated immediately, and the truth exposed. Discipline is one of those qualities that cannot be overestimated in soldiery, whether regular or militia, It is the quality of ali others that makes a good soldier; for without it courage and determination are practically useless— nay worse, even dangerous. Itis evident, then, that if the charge that the soldiers fired into the crowd without proper orders be true, ® serious breach of discipline has been com- mitted, which onght not to be overlooked, PRESIDENTIAL ENTRIES FOR 1872,—Jobn Fitz Randolph, of New Jersey, enters Procla- mation No. 1, out of Jersey Blue, dam Orange Riot, by Green Ribbon. John T. Hoffman, of New York, enters Proclamation No. 2, out of Old Tammany, by Hibernia, out of Emerald Ring, g. g- dam The People. These nage are both thoroughbred. Their pedigree dates from the bloody 12th of July. A splendid run may be expected by each in the next Demo- cratic National Convention.

Thiers was alleged to Ts City we RE The effects of the riots of Wednesday are have sent to the Pope has been pronounced a | rapidly disappearing from the streets. The forgery, It was probably foisted upon the world by some time-serving scribe, with a view of ministering to the general greed for sensation. But the canard, like its predeces- sors of the same feather, was exceedingly short-lived. Retribution in the shape of offi- cial contradiction bas followed close upon the heels of the offence. The improbability of the letter Iay more in the Pope's having expressed adesire to leave Rome than in M. Thiers’ offer of hospitality. His Holiness, we hope, has read history to better purpose than to commit spiritual hari-kari by consenting to be the protégé of France—a country proverbial for its instability of institutions. To-day the government of France is nondescript ; to-mor- row it may be a republic or a monarchy, and the following day it may be a Commune, under the rale of Felix Pyat and his Petro- lenses. What would become of the Pope then? What became of the Archbishop of Paris? The party of the right in the National As- sembly is preparing an answer to the procla- mation of Count de Chambord, who aspires to the honor of ‘‘saving France” under the appellation of Henry V. His outlooks are, however, at preseut very small, France has tried one self-styled savior already—tried him and found him sadly wanting. The re- cent republican triumphs have snuffed the Count de Chambord out of existence, and the party of the right, with all its monarchical tendencies, will probably tell him so, Placed by the side of Henry de Bourbon’s manifesto the less recent letter of the Count de Paris, which we published yesterday, is strikingly modest and suggestive. The Or- leanist Prince now appears under the novel guise of @ republican. He scouts the idea of being a “Pretender,” says that he is “infinitely more republican” than his friends, and willing enough to serve the republic, but wouldn’t object, if the nation were minded to make him Louis Philippe II., King of France, The Minister of Marine has declared in the National Assembly that the female incendia- ries of Paris (nicknamed Petroleuses), one thousand in number, who have been arrested, will not be transported to Cayenne. Sending the Petroleuses to Cayenne would be adding fuel to fire, as the hot climate would only foster their incendiary tendencies. Better send them to some Siberia, where they can live and learn to be less wasteful of the com- bustibles, The first instalment of the German war in- demnity, amounting to a milliard, has been paid. The Germans will consequently evacu- ate three departments. Goodby for a good riddance! will be the parting salate of the French inhabitants. France has fairly aston- ished the world by the elasticity of her finan- cial resources. Prince Bismarck has imposed the seemingly fabulous fine of five milliarda, not alone with a view of enriching German pockets: the French people were to be ex- hausted and made to forego, or at least to postpone, their revanche for an indefinite length of period, But herein Prioce..Bismarck has been somewhat mistaken. The fact is that France has not been exhausted at all, Ac- cording to the present state of things the indemnity will be all paid and the Ger- mans out of France before the stipulated time. A Paris despatch says that M. Thiers has entered into negotiations with the German goveroment with a view of anticipating the future payments of the indemnity, and that this step has been taken at the earnest request of the Deputies from the departments still held by the Germans. Well, the war indemnity will be cleared off ere long. What then? This question must have presented itself to’Prince Bismarck, now at his Varzin sum fetreat, and probably watching—not without some misgivings—the events in France. There are still about two hundred thousand French pris- onersin Germany, and yet, according to our cable despatch, the present effective strength of the French army is two hundred and thirty thousand men—an alarm- ing remnant of strength for a crippled enemy. No wonder that the German press was so severe on the vanity of the recent French review, presenting as it did a compact mass of 120,000 fighting men. The recent declaration of M. Thiers that the vast military establishment of France is not to be reduced will dispel all delusions, if any there were, as to the durability of the treaty of peace. Nor has the Emperor William any sanguine ex- pectations on this score. During a recent military review at Stettin he told the officers who surrounded him :—“‘I believe that peace is insured for the remainder of my existence perlaps—at least let us hope so—even beyond that time.” At his time of life—already four years beyond the three score and ten allotted to man—he can have but a brief span of exist- ence before him, and the doubt and hesitation which lie in his words are an index to his mind. He, too, has apparently strong mis- givings that the treaty of peace just concluded will have a short duration. Our cable report has furthermore the im- portant announcement that France has re- quested England to consent to a ‘‘modifica- tion” of the Treaty of Commerce, This treaty has always been considered one of the diplo- matic triumphs of the Palmerston government. Thanks to the exertions of Mr. Cobden and to the complaisance of Napoleon, it was, perhaps, more favorable to England than to France. Hence Jobn Buli’s enthusiasm for Napoleon when he landed in England, and hence the present move of the Thiers govern- ment for the purpose of increasing its reve- nue, The modification demanded probably means the right of levying duty on certain kinds of merchandise—perhaps on English coal, which, according to the terms of the treaty, could be imported free of duty into France. England must perforce consent toa modification, as the French have the choice of repudiating the treaty altogether. Having been concluded by a government which is now disavowed, its binding force has ceased. “Brnotp, How Brigntty Breaks tar Mornino !"—This was the general exclamation of the law and order men of Manhattan Island yesterday morning, and it was applied to a Watt Srrett is briefly summarized. Money easy; stocks dull and strong; gold weak and lower; government bonds steady; brokers cross at the dearth of business, neighborhood of the principal scene of disas- ter is still thronged with morbid sightseers, who interest themselves in viewing the places where bullets struck and where the victims fell, and in scanning the ‘‘gouts of blood” that still sprinkle the walls and sidewalks. Dis- tressed throngs, seeking for sbsent friends, timidly venture into the dismal precincts of the Morgue and eagerly seek admission to the various hospitals, but otherwise the city is entirely free from visible reminders of the fray. The conversation among all parties turns upon the events of the day, however, and opinions are as plenty as blackberries regarding the right and wrong of the parade and the action of the troops in firlog upon the rioters. On one subject alone everybody seems to be unanimous, and that is the mag- nificent performance of the police, The prisoners captured during the riots were all brought up before Judge Hogan at the Tombs yesterday, and though they all swore to their innocence they were all held for examiaation. * The list of dead was increased during the night by the names of several of the seriously wounded, and many others suffering from severe injuries are expected to die, Prince Erie On and Off the Battle Field. As the public may be somewhat confused about the story of Colonel Jim Fisk's adven- tures on and off the battle field last Wednesday we think a clear statement of them should be made by himself. There is some doubt as to how and where he got injured. Had he been pricked by a bayonet, however slightly, or scratched by a bullet there would have been a warlike ring about that, and everybody would have been satisfied. He would then have been an undoubted hero and entitled to a niche in the temple of fame. But to tumble down, to be rolled over like a porcupine, to be hustled ina crowd and thus to get his ankle sprained has something of o Fallstaffian idea in it, To have had his gorgeous diamond pin punched out by the blow of a Hibernian would have been more of a sensation. A sprained ankle does not come up to the punc- ture of Achilles’ heel in heroic sentiment, Still, wich the temptation the irrepressible Jim always inspires to badinage, we must give him credit, as well as his gallant regiment, for doing good service. The next time we hope he will be able to keep on his pins before the enemy and not have occasion to take a special train to Long Branch before the battle is over. Toe ORLEANS Prixogs anp M.
