A. OAKEY HALL, Mayor, BOYNE BLOOD. [From the New York Leaver—the Mayor's organ.) ; About a week belore the 12th of July the Times contained a letter written by some high authority in the order of Orangemen. It was, as nearly as could be interpreted, a tirade against Roman Catho- lics, 10 Wien the writer Intended to convey Intor- mation that the authorities of New York were being cursed for not furnishing to some Intended processiou of Orangemen a great number of poitce- } nen for ald or protection, While it 18 notthe duty | eee of the city authorities to take notice of matters thus brought (o thelr attention (and especially when they | are vulgariy abused for not doing what they nave ‘no opportunity of doing), the Mayor officially ad- ; formation about the proposed parade and inquiring What the parade was for, But it seems that thts jetter was only the keynote of the operations of Orangemen of the Untied } States and Canada. New York was to be invaded at ail pornts, Quebec, Jersey City, Long Istana, Patiadeiphia and other places were to be brought 5,000 men, not one. half of them bound by any tes to the United States, not one-half of them with any rights of citizens of British Queen and to the extirpation of the Roman Catholic religion, These men had nothing to lose. were arming against the laws of New York. They all intended to carry concealed Weapons, When the Mayor heard this of 6,000 fanatical, iwrespo: fibie mer, he was justly alarmed, Tr, OW! to the,criticisms of the republican papers upon the authorities for throwing away arms by furnish. ing them to the snilitia, there was but one regi- ment in the city armed with breech-loaders, Five thousand armed aliens, Whose constitution makes | them Yelligeregis, are greatly to be Feayed, Whea | preceding yg Juth oF July, vnwarreusaviy emeanor, gesture | dressed a note to the writer of the leiter, asking ine | # public procession through the streets of the city on the 13th Into New York city from Montrea!, | New York, and all of them sworn to loyaity to the | , they stood in a store, and the soldiers levelled their | They intrenched themselves behind the unexpect- | It ail parts of the world were as pure as men who know that there 1s but one policeman for every 400 people, It was very evident that the was moving, and that the mob, like Corbin of old, was contemplating a new corner in gold, ‘ihe police were brave enough. ‘Thi rioters, from ail sides, would have outnumbered them twenty to on Give every Orangeman a platoon und ses him safe throngh New York.” Su men said. The Orangemen, counting the Canadians and Jersey City men, would have numbered 6,000 (so their leader says), and there Is: not half that number of policemen in New York. “Give ’em a Stil the fanatics persisted in the row. Nothing could induce them to defer the parade. The Orangers had not paraded on the 12th of July put once tn forty-seven years in this city! Indeed, the: had threatened last year to take an American hoil- day fora cover ‘or their intentions, They were told what danger they would put the city in. ‘They did not care, In the Superintendent's oie: there was un order, gotten ready by John Jourdan for use last year, When on Taesday night it was seen what the | morrow would bring the order was brought out and the Superintendent stopped the parate. The Orangemen thanked God, and bawied, “Re. ligious liberty"? ‘The préss was dissatisfied. It cated the act a surrender, Tne press was blind. The Communists, although they could not read, ! sided with the press. For once the literary author- ity and the lowest class wero tn perfect unity of opinion, The Mayor saw ail this; he anticipaied the howl of the Commune and the nowl of the press. In the face of it ull ho “surrendered” to peace, and it seemed that tie clly was saved by a riot! The Tribuse has often been re to say that the or once the Tribune was right. ‘The Mayor could not see that the cruel stubbornness ot a few fanatical aliens, with yellow ribbons rouad their necks, made hii the godfather of religious liverty. He could not know that he was bound to see women and children fealty to the British Queen. Oxictally he was only the Keeper o{ the peace of New York, and he tried to Keepit. The parade was tobe stopped. For tie sake of the one swect Ilttie girl in her grave clothes | we Wish it had never moved. Tae Mayor only did his duty, Let tt stand for what it 1s worth. New York city is on a crowded island, a triangic | of narrow streets and unsecluded houses, with few means of escape, At the lower aagle commerce has | piled up its destructible property. Along the broad- way backbone, and near 1, cluster the earnings ot the lower angle. Give a mob the east side and the West, aud property and lile are in terrtole danger. There are no London bridges, and Innocent Burnaby Rudges have no way to go, Over this triangle the | Mayor exercised his duty; and on Tuesday night the Orangenien breathed freely, the women and chil- grsn slept quictly, and men said there will be no elit. New York Sta‘e ia larger and her powers are stronger. On Tucsday night the Governor issued a proclamation, aud the Orangemen were permitted to parade i they chose, At this moment they might have chosen to be heroes, and in a vody have remaipea at home. The ree ligious liberty of marching in_ the State of New York was theirs. In the State the Mayor dil not command. Le took his place with the po- | lice, and as the chief officer of one of the State's j cities did what he could to Keep the peace under the proclamation of his superior officer, The Governor | had his right. It is something to be thankful for that so lew Orangemen took advantage of their rell- gious liberty to create a rio'. Some say fifty, some ; Bay 159 hung on tue scarfs and paraded. We have exainined the war maps of the World and | Trivune and wonder where the Orangemen were. { ‘Thanks to the lateness of the permit, littie of the | Commune was up. Yet there was a tight, and for every man of the Orangemen @ spectator was killed he troops. Not an OUrangeman was touched. Each one was “protecied.’? Happily the procession was not long. It is said that one regiment, after firing, could not reload their guna. Another repert says a brave policeman nad to save his comrades from death by threatening to brain a militiaman i he did not stop firing. This was to be expected, The soidiers did as well as they could, Sad a wilty reporter to his companion, as us at the dour, “Drop! they are doing their level pest. Tho smoke is clearing away, and men are begin- | ning to see that the precious lives of men, women | and babies ave gone. it is hard to reach the ric ing innocent ones. It was the innocent ones for whom Kelso carel. But, echoed the men whose Wives ana children were safe in Long island and New Jersey, me one had blundered.”” Public sentiment in any exigency of riot always is divided upou the proper methuds of igen with it, the rurali- tea of New York state, there would never be trouble in the city. But New York has seen a great many riots, from the one of the doctors of the last century just over. When doubts and ditferences as to treatment at various times arose. it was found that meu of even the same party could not always agree, priviug a riot at all hazards of its cause, unless ter evil on the other hand to be en- | countered, When the extirpation of cause mjures | public security more than the riot itself can.
