The Appearance of the Dead—Sorrowivg ' Friouds Secking Their Lom Ones—A Ghastly and Grim Spectactr. ‘The scenes outside the Morgue yesterday were of We most harrowiug nature, Hundreds of persons all ages ana both sexes filed the approaches, brought thither by idle curiosity and by an avxiety #0 painful and Mentahie as to excite sympathy and compassion the breasts of the most heartless spectators. | | Strong men were 6600 looking w:th teriivle earnest- ness towards the dovr of tie Morgue, with the bitter tears coarsing down their faces and thew whole exterior presenting @ most woe-begone ap- pearance. many of whom uttered such “CASINES” OF LAMENTATION as are seldom or never beard in this country; whilo others sat on the curbatone and rocked their bodies to and fro in silent anguish, now and then moaning Pittously. Yoang women, wives and sisters and daughters, whose husbands and brothers and fathers lefc their homes in the full glow of health on tae morning of that fatal day and returned not home in the evening, wandered along tho streets waving satnrated handkerchiefs, and weeping as though their hearts would break, Little children, who could not comprehend the extent of their bereavement, alternately cried im sympathy with the sorrow of their mothers and sisters and innocenily laughed = at some incident that tickled their youthful risibilities, Here and vhere were gathered groups of young and determined-looking men, some staring stolidly into far-off vacancy, and a few discussing the events of the previous day. Approaching one of these the HERALD reporter accosted a decently dressed and respectable looking Irishman, and asked, “Is there any of your friends lying 1n there, eir 2” “[ don’t know, sir,’ answered he, “I have a boy, or I nad one yesterday, who went out in the morn- ing as usual, but hadn’t got back up to dinner hour to-ay. I’m greatly afraid he’s one of the victims of this norrible business, God ielp me, I’m @ quiet man; I never interfered in any busineas of this. kind, aod my poor boy was always @ harmless and well conducted lad since he was a child. ‘TIS 700 BAD if so heavy a blow Is to fail now upon me and my poor wife that have struggled hard mm this country for the last nineteen years and never once quarreled with anybody, or earned the {ll-will of man, wo- man or chud.

Ob, God Almighty, your will be done! Ob, blessed Virgin Mary, how can I go home to my poor Mary to-night without hor boy |’? Here the poor man broke down oo myltetely, and it ‘was some time befure either himself or his ques- tioner could reaume the conversation. After a while the reporter asked :— “Do you know anything about that shooting affray yesterday ?"" “Weill, sit, I saw the most of it. Wen dinner time came vesterday, and OUR BOY DIDN'T COMB HOME AS USUAL, my wife began to feel very uffeasy, so after dinner I conciuaed to come out and look for him, ‘and thinking he mght have been tempted tu come over here—we live in Brook- lyn, Sir, to see the de, I crossed the ferry to come alter hia. foliowed the crowd up Eighth avenue, aud Was standing on the corver of Twenty- sixth street when the row took place.” “Dv you think the militia are to blame for what took place?’ “Well, sir, I don’t think they acted right at all. I don't think they received the provocation that would justify them tn shedding all the blood they dit spill, If they were cool and brave, as soldiers ought to be, they would wait a littio longer pefore they fired, Inave been a soldier myself, sir, and I know the way it 1s with MEN WHO HAVE FACED THEIR ENEMY in the fleid. While I was in the army myself and my comrades were often placed in the same position as those militia men were yesterday. When we were called on to suppress riots or civil disturbance it was a well understood rule among us not to fire at citizens, whether they were armed or not, unless we were put to the very last extremity; even then we always fired the first round or iwo over the rioters’ neada, and, indeed, as far as my experience goes, we never hag occasion to go any farther than that. Such was the" way soldiers acto in my time upon tons of that kind, For that matter, indeed, [ have reason to know that real soldiers pursue the same practice yet. Where live, Over in Brooklyn, I have lately seen several of what they call poieen riots, where the whole neighborhood turned out, men and women, not as idie gazers or spectators, but as @ mob of rioters; where every window and housetop were filled with people ready to wound and murder the officers of the government and their escorts and protectors, and where the soldiers evpected every moment to be overpowered and siaughtered like dogs. Yet THK PATIENT SOLDIERS OF THR LINE and the maripes nobly withstood every provocation to sacrifice haman itfe. They kept thetr eves about them and watched sharply in every direction, and Whenever ‘hey saw a rioter throw a stone or at- tempt touse firearms they went for him and dis- armed him and gave him a wholesome beating. No omMcer even thought of ordering his men to fire or the innocent or ignorant crowd, and no soldier ever attempted to use his musket without a com- mand. They scorned—every real soldier scorns — to take an unfar advantage of unarmed and excited men or women; but I am very much afraid, gir, that the militiamen who did tnose black deeds yesterday are not the stuff that real soldiers ate made of. Such men could never have stood before tie sma'l end of an enemy's guns, and can't know what ft is to hear a bullet whistle by and eoter the brain of a comrade. You'll see what they'll do if they are ever brouzht face to face wita thetr match. If they have mur- dered by poor boy, may God forgive tnem, for I'm afraid I never can.’ Many of the crowd seated themselves ina long row on the curbstones on the opposite side of the atrect, while ovhers pressed close to the tall irou railing in front of the Morgue, peering thro the glass Lo catch glimpses of the horror within, con- tnual stream passed ey and. out by the poitceman stationed at the door, No visitor was allowed to tarry unnecessarily. The gruff? order, “Move on, and give others a chance,” sounded with s ghastiy sarcasm, as if the “chance” was supposed to be a pleasant one, To some who came to gratify a curious appe- tite for the horrible 1t might have given pleasure. Tt was observed that many returned severai times in the s:ream of-visitora, The otiers, who came in @ terrible wuspense, were glad to cacape without having recognized a@ friend or friends, Many iu whose eyes were ‘A TERRIBLY INTENSE EXPROTANCY, only cast fearful, sidelong glances et the dead bodies, while others grasped the iron fender ear- ueatly and looked long at ghastly faces which they fancied they recognized. Most of the recognitions hy One man who thought ad the us OL = 8 was gurpris to discover bis mistake on a@ nearer view. But those which were real were Reartrending. Gaunt, nusbaven men wept and wailed, and women wrang their hands, sometiax in silent anguish, sometimes in Ioud lamentauons. One girl, who had recognized a vrother, caressed the body most piteousiy. The bodies were ranged on the zinc slabs, cold water dripping on their breasts. They were stripped to the waist, sho’ the marble flesh, stark and rigid. In moet cases the eyes were stili 0} staring through the stif lids with a horrible vacaucy. Hands were clinched as if uw the last death agony, The wouds were disptayed and ail their ghascy horror, From one, which was through the tempora bone of the head, the brains were still oozing. The huir was a mass of clotted blood. The body at the farther end of the row was that of a man of a large wnd powerful trame, with a heavy, bulldog head. His chest was iull and broad. The temples and face were mass of biack a bruises and wounds. Nearer the door was the body of an intelligest ooking maa, with fail beard an mustache, and @ fine forehead. Atter recoguition it was tumbled carelessly upon a stretcher and re- moved. The stream of visitors was ceaseless throughout the day. In the low wooden sheds atiached to the office of the coroner the scenes weie yet more horrible. The bodies, mangled and bloody, had been hustied tnto rough boxes, which were piled up in tiers. In close proximity to them were others which had already remained there for weeks, containing bodies tu every stage of rottenness, Many of them were putrid masses alive with worms, which wore crawiing out of the edges of the coffins ready for the fresh vicums, Tue stench was terribly sicken- in; Beopte arrived continually during the day with or- ders frou Coroner Young jor the bodies of friends or retatives. Whep the lids were lifted from tne boxes and the sickly-feshed features and bioody body of sume poor wight were displayed to those who were once near and dear to him, gazing with unrestrainable horror, the sceue might well have sickened the stoutest of hearts, Stolid under- takers were busily en; in the afternoon in putting bodies in new coffins, They handle. the Haccta limbs in @ business-like manner, strangely incongruous with the emotional character of the associations connected with scene, A munnie ball taken from the wriat of @ dead man was peers to @ reporter as a memento of the riot. ‘hat gentieman handled it delicately, as if a dead man’s curse might cling to it, Shortly afterward te committed the bull of asking in regard to this dead man, “Where does he live?

SCENES AND CORONERS’ CASES AT MOUNT SIVAL HOSPITAL, Mount Sinai Hospital, West Twenty-cightn street, was snrrounded all day with an anxious and excited crowd of the friends of the injured men, who lay writhing in agony up stairs balancing between life and death. The ambulances and dead wagons from Bellevue made frequent yisits there to remove any of the wounded who were able to be taken, or any of the dead for inquest and identification. Up. t@ noon only one man, as reported, had died, He was name? John Ward, aged thirty, a Scotch- man, ana he died early in. the morning from a shot Wound inthe groin and bladder.

Inquests were held also by Coroner Hermann over the bodies of Philip A.

Mr, Petit resided in Virginia, and was temporarily re- siding hore, His friends were notified by telegraph, and are expected on to take charge of his remains. Benjamin Franklin Erskine, aged seventeen, tate of 261 West Tmrty-ninth strect, was shot through the body and right leg at Twenty-sixth street, and died at three A. M, yesterday, and an inquest was held over the body. A burial permit was granted by Coroner Youn) for the remains of Sergeant 8. Wyatt, of the Nint regiment, late of 107 Macdougal street, who was shot on Wednesday. The testimony in Mr. Ackerman's case showed that though he Was shot on the roof of the house ne descenued through the seattle safe enough, but fell dead on the lantling, at his daughter's feet, ex- cluiming With Dis single Lreath, ‘My God, I’m shot.’’ At ten o'clock last night everything was quiet in @nud around Mount Sinai Hospital, where twenty of THE WOUNDED STILL REMAIN, One has been taken away by his friends; two, Cary and O'Brien, had legs amupnyated yesrerday and five have died, namely, John Scott, Patric! Sherry, Johh Boyd and James Moran on Wednesday night and Jonn Ward yesterday morning. Two others are wounded so dangerously, and are now 80 weak, it w believed they cannot survive. The rest, however, are doing very well. On the steps of a tenement honse sat a group of Irishmen, discussing the all-absorbing topic, when one speaker remarked, half seriously, half pite- ously, “Ah, thin, shure they’ died in a good cause.” SECOND SrkaAKER—That they did, indeed, TAIRD SPEAKRR—They could not lose thelr lives in a nobler cause, and their blood will be avenged et. ‘ On Fighth avenue, near a liqnor store, another group of men were discussing the great evont, but ‘with special reference to the militia, against whom they mamfested great bitterness, “Why then, Paddy,” said one individual, in a nalf forlorn tone, “sure you needn't blame the ’Merican Ticimeuts 80 much When our own Sixty-ninth tarned out.’? “They didn’t thongh ?’ said Paddy, half surprised. “Begorra, they did, avic, and guarded the Post Onice and Custom House all night.’” nh, murther an’ ouns,” retorted Paddy, as if lus astonishment would not allow him to utter another word.’ Another ere biting. by a cigar store were taking the American view of it, namely, that if one party or society had aright to parade here another had the same right. And while the speakers regret:ed the loss of iife the opinion was expressed (nat Uhis question would fave to be settled some time if Dot now, and they were as well pleased evidently that it should be settled here and now as it has been as iu any other way, There seemed to be no difference of opinion among the speakers, In the Eightn svenue cars the riot was the subject of talk also, and from THE STYLE OF LANGUAGE it wal caer to tell on which side each speaker stood. One old [rish genueman thought the soldiers had murdered his countrymen, that they had had no Provocation for snooting as they did. He was quickly taken up by two other mien, one evidently an American and the other an Irish Protestant. ‘the American talked calmly from his national standpoint and the latter from his. The old gentler man said he was opposed to all processions, but he wosin favor of making the fist example of the Orangemen rather than of the Hivernians, because the latter had no right to flaunt their party colors in the faces of another clase of citizens. The Protestant Irishman wished to know why orapge ‘was @ More Offensive color than green, aud the American interposed that this was a free country aod everybody was fond of arte here. The Catholic Irishman could not see It in that light and quieted down and soon after left the carin Hudson street. POLICE HLADQUIRTERS. How vastly different were the scenes round about Police Headquarters yesterday as compared with those of the day before | The building which on tnat day was filled by anxious groups, all hurried and apparently excitod and confused, and wiich has not been paralleled since the bloody and tumultuous days of the great and ever-memorable dra(t riot, In July, 1863, when oficers, both military and crvil, and citizens of high and low degree, assembied and jostiea through its halls, corridors and spacious rooms, giving and obeying orders with the utmost alacrity, was yesterday very quiet. There were but few traces of the great event of the 12th. The uncleanly conaition of the streets and corners bore signg of tne tread of busy fect, but all these signs were speedily and early removed. Aside from this everything had assumed its accustomed and Wonted aspect aud condition, At an early hour yesterday morning the six companies of the Eley- enth regiment who had been quartered in the upper stories of the building, so a3 to be on hand in case of any emergency which might arise during the silent watches of the night (for the watches were. very silent after nine o'clock), took thelr departure. A few minutes before these troops left Governor Hoffman, Mayor Hail, General Shaler and Mr. Henry Smitn, who had remained all night, that they might be useful 1f occasion reqnired, departed for thelr re- spective homes, With tke exception of the Samitary Squad and a few others left to GUARD THE RIOTERS captured by the detective foree under the indefatt- gable Captain Irving, the weary, tootsore police were returned to their several precincts abont half- past seven o'ciock A.M.

Everything went show that the laborers were at werk, and that no trouble need be appie- hended. About mine o'clock the muliliude of reporters appeared on the scene, and, to tieir utter disgust, beneid their opportunities gone for another day’s sensation and imniense splurge—irre- tievably gone, This was taken very philosophically, and, tueretore, instead of pining over the se excitement and confusion, charges and chai , Shying of brickbats and the mashing of ii- bernian craniums, now @ thing of the past, and in the delineation and description of which they de- lighted tn shnging fountains ot ink, instead of pi ing over these things as dear to their hearts, wey at once set themselves about looking up the ordinary material that goes to make the photograph of a day's hie tn this city. ‘fhey aid not have to look far for an item of news, for soon the prisoners whom the detectives had taken were brought out from their celis and placed in a holiow square formed by all the police who nad not previously let Headquarters and marched vif to the Tombs Police Court, ‘The route of march was through Houston street to Broadway, through Broadway to Franklin street, and through Franklin street to the Tombs, The prisoners were a hard-looking set of men and pre- sented a sad appearance, nearly ail of them having wounds on their heads, arms, &c., and being covered ‘With bandages through which the blood had oozed.

Tie Frisoners—The Police and the Public— Appearance of the Braves—Ja m on the Leaders of the Riot. ‘The terrible conflict ts over and both sides of the contending parties are counting the results. Tne battiefeld is cleared. The dead, the dying and the wounded are receiving such care as tender hands can bestow, and the pris- oners taken during the day are brought before the constituted authorities to meet the penalty of their rash conduct, The bitter feeling which urged men on to the desperate deeds that ended so fatally to numbers of innocent citizens 1s somewhat allayed and cooler judgment Is gaining the ascend- ant. The admirable conduct of the police during the struggle 1s meeting with its just reward on all hands, and citizens of every class feel grateful to the men who bore so much taunting and ignommy with coolness and bravery. One of the results of the day’s strife was the number of prisoners taken by the police previous to the riot, during its pro- gress and after the dreadful outbreak had eaded, Bixty-five of these men were brought to the Tomps yesterday morning by the command under Captain McDonnell, From an carly hour in the morning rumors were afloat that an attempt would be made by the iaborers employed on the Boulevards to Tescue their friends from tne hands of the Police while they were on their way to the City Prison, When this news had reached headquarters @number of detectives were detailed by Superin- tendent Kelso to ascertain as far as possible what grounds there were for these reports. Frem observa- Uons taken and information gleaned from different quarters the detective scouts came to the conclusion that such intentions were undoubtedly in the minds Of some of the men, Precautions were accordingly takep to prevent any combined action on the . part of the rioters to interfere with those ia the hands of the au thorities, and ab the same time a sufficient force was put In charge of the law- breakers to counteract any assault that may be inaugurated. During tho entire route—{from the Headquarters to the Tombs—the greatest excite- ment was manifested by the populace, who crowded around the cavalcade and grew greater as they moved along, MEN, WOMBN AND CHILDREN Joined in the mournful procession, aud by the time the Court House was gained an immense assem- blage had gathered. The police conducted themselves with the greatest coolness and indulgence during the entire march, and evidently shut their ears to the imprecations that assailed them trom every quarter. The women were by far the Most incendiary part of the followers of the un- fortunate men, and created no small amount of ill feeling by their excited gestures and language. In the court room the men wore arugged. and by no Means prepossessing appearance. There were among them certainly some respectable oltizens, but te great majority were of the rough- est and most wlfavored of their class, Some six or seven of them had received injuries on the head and had bandages saturated with blood ground their heated brain recaptacles. The gen- eral appearance of the men and the crime for which they stood arraigned were very much in unison, and it was not a dificult matter, looking upon them, to imagine they could be guilty of tne most FRIGHTFUL OUTRAGES that could be committed among oivilized men. In dozens of faces of the group cooped up behind the iron railings of the dock latent ferosity was plainly visible, and the heavy build with hands inoured to toil made them capable of carrying out any desperate undertaking that flery leaders should suggest. Tho massive jaws and bright, sharp twinkling eye, told a tale of force that was ready ai any minate to take up action in a cause that may be held de.r, The small, round head, with hair cut set upon a pair of stupendous shoul- ders, under which the body of a Hercules trundiea clumsily along, made no mean enemy to encounter, and the men in custody numbered many of that stamp, The broad mouth, short chin and protruding teeth of the Hiber- nian type had many representatives, but the stupid, brutish, balf-laughing rustic that counted no consequences, once his biood was, was the most general. The position in whic! they stood seemed to impress them but htue, for with heads erect, without any sense of degradation or remorse for the scenes they had help to enact, they looked around the crowded court room, — close, strange to say they met many symp ing faces. m tthe moment these men came within the limits of the Halls of Justice a heavy silence seemed to fall upon all the people nt. Whether it as a sense of the awful results of their too impetuous and headiong action or fears for the safety of those now present it was difficult to say, but there was @ certain — somethi about the men and an air attaching to them that seemed to Iift them out of the ordinary circle of detestation that hangs around the ordinary criminal. ‘Lhetr frieads were numerous afid filled the courtroom to its utinost limits, Many of them were women, but they Nor-came to the presiding Ju 0 case, to implore mercy on behalf of the offending relatives, ‘They sustained thronghout the day's proceedings @ calm exterior and @ carefulness and attention to the details of the cases that, used in @ better cause, would have raked them far above the sphere they move in. The men themselves, as far. as could be judged from their bearing, never for a moment thought of ihe conge- quences that mignt ensue on their arrest under such circamstances. Even the police, wh0 had endan- gered their lives in the contest where these men were taken, treated them with a gentleness and consideration rarely bestowed upon men who are about to recctve U offence agatust soc! atmosphere of the pI some measure more with a tinge of hero- ism than anything that usnally surrounds those written code.

All other ‘ers Of y had been finished just as they were brought in so that the entire time and space of the Place was given up to the rioters, A separate ex- amination was given to each case, which in itself included a vast Amount of labor and patience; but, “Now, officers, will each of you bring your prisoners in line so that I may see each man as he Ja accused.’* ‘The first of the batch that was presented to Juil- cial notuce Was A_LOW SIZED, DARK INDIVIDUAL, who bad not undergone the process of shaving for at least two montis.

If soine persons could have their own way they Would shoulder @ good share of blame for tue late riot upon the workmen employed on tie Boulevard. They make out these laborers as the roughest of ihe Tough; as the most brutal of the brutal; as only in thelr element in the wg and tussle, and bearing and bdlood-letting of @ grand plug-ugly muss. A rumor prevailed down town yesterday that various gangs of these workmen, disgusted with the result of the previous day's operations, had, in the sheer wantonness of their brutal violence, gone to fignt- ing among themselves—had, in fact, ike the Kil- kenny cats, entered upon the pleasing process of chawing one another up, and anybody else beside whow they coula clutch with their insatiaole fangs.

SEFFERSON MARKET POLICE COURT. There was a large number of prisoners arraigned before Justice Shandley at Jefferson Market Police Court yesterday morning. There were, strange to say, but few cases of drunkenness, the major portion being charged with riotous conduct on Wednesday during the excitement consequent upon the Orange processsion.

An Orange Parade Without a Riot—Hew Bicodsned Was Averted—Burying the Hatchet—The Militia Net Wanted. It will always redound to the good sense, forbear. ance and respect for jaw of the Irishmen of Jersey City that, in spite of all the temptations to break the law and the fagrant insults offered to them by two Orangemen in the procession, they behaved themselves as became @ people who have seif- respect and magnanimity, whatever enemies may Bay to the contrary. Now that the fever of agitation is past it i eminently proper that the public should understand how riot and bloodshed were averted in order that a full measure of credit be awardea to the proper parties. The Bishop and clergy very wisely remained neutral, believing that, after all, any Interference by them in such @ matter would not be regarded as ex ca‘hedra, while the great body of those who meditated dts- turbance seldom regard the instructions of their clergy even im things purely spiritual. The more intelligent class of Irishmen, who had been accustomed to hear clergymen in their native country interfere im politics and endeavor to blend things spiritual and temporal to the great scandal of many of the faithful, @ave an increased respect for their spiritaat guides here because the latter avoid any undue meddling with quesitons which are properly within ‘he province of the Jaity, THE PREPARATIONS FoR THE Riot m Jersey City were on a most extensive scale and were virtually completed two days before the pro- cession. There was so much secrecy and caution observed thatthe police had not the most remote idea of the plan of attack or of the number of an- tagonista they would have to encounter, There were simply rumors basedon mere suspicion that THE HIBERNIAN OKDBR was preparing; but that was all. But there were prominent Irishmen in the city who made it their busiaess to ascertain the extent of the preparation and tho feeling of the men who proposed 10 break thelaw.
