But though our concepnons, at best, must fall far short of the reality us regards ali super- natural things, We may nevertheless learn from the sacred record something of the matchiess glory of God and of our saviour, ‘with the Lord on bis throne, and so does the apostle Jolin in vhe jourth chapter of Revelation, But these get fori the MAJESTY OF THY MOST HIGH in His ceiestiai glory. In the transiguration we have that zlory vrought down to earth, It is as if the windows of heaven were opened and the radi- a the throne permitted to stream down How suggestive to the believer of led glory which pread out before him whcu to his immortal state he stands within the veil!

The faneral pro- cession moved without molestation whatever, for there was not the cause of the disturbance that was found in the streets on Wednesday.

A Gollant Member the Ninth Regiment Takes His Life to Prove His Cournge. Twenty-fifth street was tna fever of excitement yesterday at one o'clock, owing tothe birth of a painful rumor, which afterward proved too true. A crowd assembled before No, 222 and tooked long and earnestly at the closed windows of the house. A terrible tragedy nad occurred there—one of the last and perhaps the worst of the Orange riot. Mr. Edward J.S, Gaffney, a gentleman of courage, address and determination, beloved by every one who enjoyed his acquaintance, a wit and humor- ist of no m common order, was a member of Com- pany H, Ninth regiment, National Guard, On Wednesday, the morning of the riot, his youug wife locked him in his room and prevented him from reporting at the regimental headquarters. e- Neving that there would be no _ 4itficulty between the military and tue people, he laughed at his wife, made nO attempt to break out, and |: down and slept until evening. He got very much excited when he heard the news of the riot and the loss of life, and could not be appeased, He brooded over the matter and developed all the symptoms of melancholy madness, This continued until yester- day, when it had aterrible termination. Having heard that his absence from his post in the regiment was commented on by his comrades, he ted very much worse; and about twelve o'clock, while sitting at the dinner table, suddenly produced a razor, which he had conceaied on his person, and Grew it across his throat, An alarm was given immediately, and Dr. Edward Bradley, of West Twenty-fourth street, rushed to the scene, Two other physicians aiterwards arrived; Dut their efforts were useless.

The Com- missioners, it will be seen, are ready to recognize nd applaud the faithful performance of duty on the part of the force, and on account of the bravery and Willingness shown by the men all complaints pend- ing against members of the force were dismissed, and, as above stated, the following uddress was adopted:— Resolved, That the following address to the force adopted, published and read to the men in each precinct : To THE’ OFFICERS AND MEN OF ‘THE POLIOz:— ‘The atacrity, zeal and efliciency with which you performed every duty imposed upon you during the riotous dixcurbances of the 1th of July instant deserve to be made a matter of record in the history of the department. The tntelli,eut aud faithful manner in which those duties were performed merits not only the highest approbation of the Commis. but the universal commendation of a law-abiding munity; and while in the past the force has earned the praise of all good citizeua, in this instance they have estab- lished a reputation for the department for bravery, stendi- ness and efliciency which cannot be forgotien and witch will not be overlooked. To the detective officers under Captain Irving and the ward detectives acting under his direction the Board wish to record their special thanks. No duty performed on that memorabie day was more dangerous, and none in which were displayed more judgment, zeal and success, as is best evinced by the fact that so far as we have knowledge no metal the person or dwelling house or store was com- mitted. ‘Yo the Superintendent the Board express their cordial thanks for bis intelligent, discreet and wise direction of atfairs, In tho judgment of the Board no formed the ‘duties better, and yin this instance Justified the confidence which they reposed in him when selected as the superintendent of the forc be renew the expression of their entire conlidence in hisin- tearity. ability and singleness of purpose in the discharge of the dificuit and onerous duttes of the oifice. ‘To the inspectors, captains, sergeants and patro'men, the Board desize to express their tanks for the cheerfulness, fideiity and courage displayed by them in the execution of all orders entrusted to them, To: the various military organizations which co-operated with and sustained the police thanks of the Board are pre- eminently due.

It has been stated that the orgunuizauion 1s mostly composed of Orangemen and Orange sympathizers. For my part Ido not know as there 1s one such as stated in it, Qnless being born in Orange county, N. Y., conatt- tutes myself one.

To THE Epiror vr THE HERALD :— The action taken by the Board of OMcers of the Fighty-fourth regiment on Saturday night affecting me calls for a brief notice on my part, The meet- ing was called for eight o'clock, whereas I did not receive the notice till ten minutes before nine, The Board proceeded, therefore, in my absence, to expel me, as stated, for “cowardice and conduct unbe- coming an officer.” Whether there was even a shadow oF a trial, with an egy placed in the seat allotted to the accused, Ihave not yet ascertained, But I have no disposition whatever to im- pugn thelr action, which 1s ly desti- tute of validity for many reasons. There Was no notification in the notice I received, even at an hour when my attendance would be out of the question, that charges would be preferred against me as required by the military code. My resigna. tion had been tn the nands of the Colonel two days belore this mock trial. How the charge of coward- ice can be sustained by the butchers of Eighth ave- nue f cannot conceive, uniess it consists in my tall- ure to shoot down a defenceless and tnoffensive mob, like others of my regiment, ‘without orders. In any case I esteem the separation from such @ hody alled for by the dictates of honor, as I could not continue my connection with the regiment without incurring a share of the responsibility for what the people will always regard an indefensible massacre, JOHN MACKLIN, late Lieutenant Co.

MAYOR HALL’S DEFENCE, ain G Company, Eighty-fourth {From the Philadelphia Evening Star.} New York, July 14, 1871. Your special correspondent meeting Mayor Halt this afternoon in the City Hall, addressed him thus:— “Lam anxtous to know the facts of the apparent difference of opmion between you and Governor Hoffman on the policy of suppressing the procession on Wednesday.” Mayor—That Is a matter on which T do not choose to make any statement. CORRES PONDENT—May I ask, then, whether the order was issued hastily or was carefully discussed by the Board? Mayon—AS to that I would refer you to a letter written by me last year. After the encounter at Elm Park it was resolved by the Orangemen to parade again on the 17th of August, My letter to Superin- tendent Jourdan, advising him to prevefit it, being shown to the Orange chiefs, they dropped the mat- ter and a collision was avoided. That letter ree mains in the sale at headquarters and was recog- nized as the policy of the city government. ConRESPONDENT—Was the action relative to thts year’s parade hasty or deliberate ? Mayor—The order was printed as early as Satur- day, the 8th, You will notice my letter to Mr. Bond, the Orange Grand Master, deted the in. The question of forbidding the parade was decided in the Board prior to that, In the discussion my view was earnestly sustained by Com- missioner Manierre, an American Methodist Protestant; Commissioner Bosworth was out of town; decidedly urged by Superintendent Kelso, an American Protestant; Commissioner Barr supported it, of course, and Commissioner Smith acquiesced in itat the time. 1am unable to state his present opinion. Ali the others with myself hold the same views as at the time of the decision, except that the sad events of Wednesday have deepened and Sy the opinion of last week, y idea was that ifeariy pabiished the order would have the effect of giving time to arrange demonstrations in other shapes, Which would have led to the same danger wnd disorder we sought to avoid. I wished to communicate the order Tuesday evening, too late to allow its discussion Ul after the anniversary had passed, That the surprise should prevent the procession and the adverse target excursions and the peace of the city would be preserved, bloodshed prevented. In this my voice was overruled and the order published Monday night; I think unfortu. nately. My duty under the charter 1s to preserve and protect the public peace, to keep order, not especially to guard public or private rights, constt- tutional, legal or natural. While studying tats ques- tion last year I, with Superintendent Jourdan, went to the Historical Soctety’s Library to consult the contemporancous history, the press of 1849, in reter- euce {g We Aston piace righ We sumd tay Zune to Paxagua RALD, MONDAY, JULY 17, 187% calling on Mayor Woodhull {n advance to close te Opera House and prevent the seerblags which threatened the place—au infringement of the rights of the manager andthe public, The HERALD, less judicious, after the bloody tragedy blamed the Mayor Tor neglecting to close the house.

The StVevis are sat anart for the use of people traversing them, not obstruct- ing them. ‘This matter of processions is not very fully understood, but there are some quite pointed legal decisions sustaining the idea that even two persons standing for flve minutes on the walks are an infringement of the rights of the highway. Io the language of the London police they may be or- dered to “move on.’ A procession interrupting the ordinary business of streets is not 80 very clearly aright. Aright or a trespass it 1s clearly compe- tent for police authorities to restrict when it threat- ens to produce violence. I most positively believe that when the people consider the consequences of Wednesday's parade in their sad solemnity they will assent to the propriety of ee pret- erence to stop the procession and omit the funerals. Popular opinion or sentiment has usualiy two stages: the first emotional, sympathetic, effer- vescent, almost unreasoning. Time brings what President Van Buren so happily termed “the sober second thought of the people, always rignt.” ‘To this settled judgment of the future IT trust for ap- proval of my plan for discharging the duty of my office to preserve order in the city. For the conse. quences of the revocation of the order by superior authority 1am not responsible. Already some of the organs of public opinion begin to look at the other side. The Springfield Repubiican, a rabid, puritanic paper, fully supports my position, The Tribune discusses it, the S’andard ts talking it over and the HERALD is agitating it. The funerals are to come, and the inquests; people will look at the causes of the slaughter, to consider whether it might not have been avoided, and whether the result was worth the expense.

If an unorgan- ized mob made suMicient resistance to cause such an effusion of blood as that on Wednesday, what would have been the. result of a collision between the military and Orangemen and 10,000 or 12,000 Hibernians fully supplied with the best arms, Well oficered and drilled? Of our city troops only one regiment is provided with breech- loaders; the others are good for one fire, and then they must go through the old clumsy process of muzzie-loading.

OULD MAN, IRISH BRIGADE OFFICERS, Meeting of the Associatioa—The Calling Out ot the Militin to Suppress the Riot Con- demned—A Projected Mass Meeting. Aspecial meeting of the Irish Brigade Oficers’ Association was held last evening in room No. 8 Astor House for the purpose of giving expression to their opinions on the action of the authorities tn the late riot. Colonel Benson presided and Colonel McGee acted as Secretary pro fem, Acommittee was appointed to draw up resolu- tions expressive of the object of the meeting, com- prising General M.

After an absence of about half an hour the committee returned to the room and General MeMahon reported on behalf of the committee. He said the committee had not agreed unanimously to the resolutions, one of the members objecting toa clause of a sentence. With this exception the resolutions were the unanimous expressions of the committee. He then read the resolutions, which were as [ollows:— Resolved, That as an organtzation represonting in great measure the Irish soldiery of New York who fought to main- tain the government of the United States and dearly gave substantial evidence of thelr respect for jaw and love of lib: erty, we deeply deplore the calamitous events of Wednesday, Tihinstant, aud denounce as slanderous aba unjust the lun tation directly made in many quarters, and supposed to be Fipiied in certain official acts of public ollicers, that the great body of the Irish citizens of Ne responsible for these cecurrencea; that we fail to perceive in the published reports of these events the evidence of any rlot- combination too great or widespread forthe civil power to subdue, and we therefore believe that the employment of the militia and the firing upon the people demand a searching and thorough investigation, Resolved,,That we Invite all citizens who belfeve with us that the interests of justice and good government will be ad- vanced by the course proposed to meet at such time and place as may be hereafter named, for the purpose of delibe- rating upon the best means of securing a just and fmpartial Investigation of the facts and aflixing the, responsibuity on whom it belongs. 7. MoMA! York are ih any mauner THOsas STANLEY, Mr. R. J. LAWLOR satd he could not sign the re- solutions, as he objected to the phrase “the employ- ment of the militia,” as it contained an implied condemnation of Governor Hoffman’s conduct. ‘They haa not met to condemn any party, but to make arrangements for a mass meeting, at the same time shadowing out their opinions on the question to be considered. General M. T. MCMaHon thought no condemna- tion was implied, He was of opinion that tne civil power would have been sulficient to queil any dis- turbance that might have occurred, and that the pieernne of the militia was an aggravation to the eople. Colonel MCGEE objected to the whole report of the committee, as he thought it was not a true expres- sion of the opinions of the officers of the Irish Brigade. jajor D, P. CONYNGHAM observed that the report was not intended as an expression of their opinions, but only preliminary to the action to be taken at the general meeting contemplated, Alter some desultory discussion the report was adopted unanimously. A committee of nine was appointed to make pre- parations for the mass meciing, after which meet- ing they adjourned. MASS MEETING IN. JERSEY CITY, The Temperance Men in Council—The Late Riots and Governor Hoffman. A mass meeting was held yesterday afternoon in St, Michael's church, Jersey City. It was announced as the monthly meeting of the Si. Michael’s Tem. perance Society, but many delegates from other societies were present. The chair was occupied by Mr. Patrick Meehan, President of the society. After the routine business the subject of the late riots was taken up and discussed, The foliowing resolutions were adopted by acclamation: Resolved, That it is the sense of the mass meeting feld under the auspices of the 8t. Michael's T. A.B. Society, uf Jersey City, numbering hundreds and representing tue thou. sands of Irish Catholics who compose our congregation of St, Michael's parish, that the commotion now existing is the offshoot of a deep design on the part of prejudiced men to develop a general anthCatholictand amt-irish movement 4 us, planned a long time prior to the late 12th of July, “but shunned up to these present occurrences by the better classes of our American feilow citizens, whose alliance with these lodges was reckoned on as the result of & riot_in out streets, which the action of the civil and military authorities and the Inflammatory articles of the daily press were calcu: lated {f not designed to provoke. Kesolved, That we rejoice that these conspirators were thwarted by the orderly attitade of our Catholic eltizens of Tersey City, who proved that thelr respect for the. laws-and for the goot nate of thelr tace and religion was strong enough to foil the expectations of the prejudiced men. who eageriy seek in the folly of the few a pretext to revile the Cathoile religion and the Irish people. Resolved, hat the turmoil in New York is, in onr judge ment, chargenh eto the criminal course of the authorities of that State—notably to the action of Governor John T. Hoft- man in refusing to warn all concerned against a violent course until the Inst moment, when his proclamation could only serve to spring the trap of death upon. unticeding massen. We believe that the good and wise among the Catholle people could have res lence had the ¢ el ead of Weduesday morning.

Sararoga, July 1@ 1871. ‘There Was mich excitement deg i aus ticipation of the torses Longfellow and Kingfisher coming together again on Tuesday in the three-mile race. Discussions regarding we hoped-for event were earnest in the extreme, Hotel stoops were thronged by the betting men, each of whom had something to advance regarding the merits of the racers, ; The prospective pleasure of thismeeting, however, has recetved a sudden check to-mght, as it 1s an- nounced that Mr. Harper, the owner of Longfeliow, has refused to start him on that day, This an- nouncement was brought about by prominent gentlemen despatching a friend to Mr. Harper with the offer to bet him $5,000 that Kingiisher would beat Longfellow it they came together. “Phe sub- stance of the answer was that Longfellow would not start Tuesday, ‘The intelligence has surprisea everybody, and the impression is general at this writing that flare per has been trightened; yet this cannot be fully assertained until to-morrow, when the entries for that race will close, as the entire matter may be a ruse of the betting fraternity. In the event of Kingfisher baving a walk over on ‘Tuesday he will be startea by Mr. John Hunter to decide the match now pending with Mr. Jerome $1,000 against $2,500 that Mr. Hunter would p duce @ horse during the present summer that would run a mile in 1:41.

THE CAMPBELL ¢U The Murder io Furman Street, Brooklyn—The Prisoner’s Previous Record, The murder of Michael Campbell in Furman street on Saturday night occasioned some little excitement among the friends of the deceased and those of Daniel Galvin, who ts accused of committing the crime. The cause of the quarrel, that of the Orange riot in New York, naturally created more or less ill feeling ani led to several brawls. The friends of Campbell are very bitter to- wards Galvin, and already talk of revenge. The prisoner shot 2 man in the arm about two years ago, and this has not been forgotten by his enemies, He 1s still confined at the Washington street station house awaiting the action of the Coroner, THE PRISONER'S STATEMENT.
