GREELEY, ¢v TEXAS and NEW YORK, - — _ The Riot Yesterday. About 100 men paraded yesterday in the Drange ranks, to vindicate tho right of titizens to assemble; and about 100 men were killed and wounded in putting down ihe mob who desired to deprive them of ibat right. This result shows that if the city author’. ties had never yielded to the mob, there would Lave been no riot at all. — Let O’ Hall Resign!

It i @ very great wrong to suppose that the Catholic Irish justify or desire any attack apon Orange processions. The Catholic tlergy, from Archbishop McCioskey down, bmve all denounced and forbidden any such Attack. They have spoken out boldly, like good men and good Christians, and the members of their Church sympathize with them. We do not doubt that the Irish Catholics of this city would, if necessary, turn out under arms to d-fend the nght of Orangemen to walk through the streets with their banners and music, It is only the grog shop and bar-room ruffiane, men with fo religion and no principles of any kind, who would attempt to kill or maim the lrish Protestants. Good Catholics all re pudiate and hate such brutal wickedness. One of the worst consequences of the blunder and crime of Mayor Haut is the false belief which it has disseminated that the Lrish Catholics were disposed to engage m o@ bloody riot rather than allow the Orangemen to parade. This belief doce them a bitter inj usti and for its existence: fammany and Oakey IAL. are responaiLle. Seaman The Cowardst The Democracy of the nation ought tc spew Tammany Hall out of their mouths They have convulsed the country with their shameful terror about a riot, and have don their utmost to produce a riot, when, if th had possessed ordinary courage, there was Bo reason to fear one, It was pure cowardice which led A.

And was there no cowardice: ance of that proclamatios in the final appear + Was it not some thing forced from the Governor by a public fecling which he had not shared, but dared got resist, even to save his friends aud back tre? Down with all cowards, and up with men of principles, convictions, and courage! oe A Cold Water Candidate for President, The Republicans of Massachusetts, in the beginning of their preparations for the State Heetion, which is to occur in November, are excited over the appearance of an uncxpected tandidate for Governor, It is @ peculiarity of Massachusetis politics, that when a man ‘8 elected to an office in that State he expects 4 retain it for his natural life, or until some thing better suited to his taste can be pro- vided for him, Ag it is but seldom that vacan. ties in the most desirable pla oceur, but lew men permit themselves to indulge in expectations of such posta of trust and honor as the executive chair of the Com nonwealth or seats in Congress; and these have usually settled their themselves, amic claims among bly and satisfactorily, by waiting for their turns as customers do in a barber's shop. For several years past Mr CLAFLIN has been Governor wets, and Dr. a em agriculturist, although he dues not know as much about farming as Horace Gnueciry hae Leen waiting patiently ta sneceed him when he should die, or from other good an sufficient cause see fit to make successor, Burien President GRanv, was supposed to be an WiLuiaAM of Massachu Louie, who is ent room fora To this arrangement Gen, Ben whose voice is all-powerful with wswouting party ; indeed, he was lo by the Doctor as the latte porter, Under these elrcumstances, the sar prise of Dr. Lona ked upon # principal # i and the politicians gon erally may be imagined when it was first vaguely and at length squarely announeed that Gen, Borien had determined to ran for Governor himself at the approaching elce yh, royardless of the claims of Dr, Losing @ov. Chav, of any body else, Tein not that Gen, Burien cares for the Mice Of itself that he takos this step, but because he is satisfed thas it will give the opvortunity to demonstrate is popularl lability as a candidate for the Presidency in 1872. His plans are compre- hensivo and have been well laid. He knows he can command the Republican vote, puro and simple, of Massachusetts whenever he asks it. Le has fully identified himeelf with the woman suffrage movement, so that he can safely count on the influence of all the strong-minded women in the State. He stands well with the agitators of the labor question, for he has neglected no opportuni- ty to express his high regard for the labor. ing classes—the bricklayers only excepted. He has gained the support of the Irishmen by espousing their cause against the Wash- ington Treaty. The principal portion of the Federal patronage in Marsachusctts ho has controlled for a long time. Aud now, asthe finishing stroke of his masterly strategy, wo are informed on the authority of Mr. Wen- D Puritirs that Butter will enter on the coming campaign as the apostle of tem- perance and the champion of the prohibi- tioniste, With the extraordinary combination of in- fluences which Gen. BuTLEn will have at work in his bebalf, it ie evident that he can carry Maseachusetts by an unparalleled ma- jority, after which he may be expected to enter for the Presidential race as the cold water candidate, thus at once knocking tho legs from under two formidable competitors, Vice-President CoLrax, who is a strong tem- perance man himself, and Gen, @nant, who is not generally supposed to be so strict a teetotallor as Mr. CoLrax is. All the Father Mathew Societies, which number more voters and are better organized than the Fenians, Would immediately rally to his support. The Sons and Daughters of Temperance would go for his election without reserve. The Infant Bands of Hope would ery for him. And uvless his calculations should signally miscarry, Gen. BUTLER would final- ly be floated int the White House on the top wave of a cold water tide of enthusinam which would bo even more overwhelming in its coureo than the hard cider excitement of 1840, which resulted in the triumphant elee- tion of TrrrecANog and TYLEn too. With Gon, BUTLER installed in the Execu- tive Mansion as a cold water President, an honest and irreproachable administration of tho government in every department would bo certain to follow. Peeulators would fly and hide themselves; jobbing Congressmen would be no longer known. Above all, the ravages of intemperance would cease throughout the land, for under BorLEen’s firm and decisive measures the insatiate ty- rant Alcohol would be as effectually shorn of lis destructive powers as if the General had the monster securely corked in a bottle. —— The Farmers’ Candidate tor Internal Improvements. The Hon. Honack Gneerey attended the handsome dinner given last evening ander the auspices of the North Pacific Railroad Company, to the party of distinguished edi- tors who ate about to make an excursion over the North Pacific line to the country about Lake Winnipeg. We never saw Mr. Greeiry in better health and spirits. The cares of the Presi dential campaign wear lightly upon him. Since it has become certain that the Repab- licans of Now York, with the exception of the Custom House officers and Mr. WiLtiaM Orton, are all for him, thero is nothiug to disturb is happinoss. Mr. GREELEY is in excellent condition for the one term on which he will enter on the 4th of March, 1873. 7 Saas Trouble Brewed by One of Gen.

It cannot stay with the grantor one moment. rule binds the Government as com pletely as it does individuals. The decision made by President Grant's Sreretary of the Interior is discredituble as a misconception or a misapplication of law ; and it will be widely mischievous, We have now before us the facts of a case in Kansas, where a man four years ago bought two cighty-acro lots of the Kansas Pacific Rail road. They had been “ preémpted on” be fore the grant to the railroad, but had been abandoved after the grant and after the lo cation of the line. The owner is absent in Texas bringing home @ drove of cattle. As soon as Sceretary DELANO’s decision was publiehed, aswarim of speculators got on the wing in Kansas and commenced preémpting: every lot of land in the railroad graut that wasin that category.

There is not # military title given to any person in the book, although the battle of Yorktown bad been recently fought at her very door, One thing is certain, If this story about Gaonar W, ‘aton is true, the one about the little hatchet is a base falsehood. The first President of the United States might have in- dulged in such «frolic as that described in the young lady’s journal ; but for the boy who made the speech about the cherry tree to have done so would have been # moral impossibility, plahcemenectstdee Seen eaten One of the slimmest humbugs of the day is what is called cumulative voting.

He has stands or stations about thirty miles apart, from North- weet Virginia to North Carolina and the South, in the charge of trustworthy agents ; and horses after being stolen are ran from one station to another, until they reaca a country where there is no danger of their being identified. Then they are sold, and Mr. Beanp equitably divides the profits among those who are entitled to shares. Mr. Beano is occasionally arrested, but never stays long in custody. He has many warm friends, and appears to be very popular in Virginia. Ta. Mr. Jonny W. Gannett, the Presisem of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, is described by the Washington Star as @ short, plamp man, of Pickwickian amplitude at the waistband, an overplus of neck, @ prominent forehead, bald head fringed with white hair, and tufts of white side whiskers, with a round face, to which a pe- culiarly childlike innocence is given by a color. less complexion and mild blue eyes, But Mr. Gannett is a man of immense power and doter- mination, notwithstanding his blond and benevo- lentaspect. Itis not by any means safe to adopt it ae a rule for judging character, that an amia- ble and philanthropic expression of countenance indicates want of self-will or the resolution to it when necessary. —— The Rev.

It is a fact that he was not an eflicer of the Freedmen’s Bureau in Louisi- ana; but he bad in bis hands money contributed for the freedmen, and money derived from the treasury of the Freedmen’s Bureaa, This money ho employed in building the Ames Methodist Episcopal Charch in New Orleans; and in its ex- penditure be was charged by all the press of New Orle with dishonesty, and Mr, Newman has never disproved this charge. Besides, he thought best to leave New Orleans, and he is now in Washington trying to clect Mr. Hanzaw to the Senate, on the ground that Hantas is a Metho- dist. That is a sort of business which be had better abandon, and the sooner the better. —— The St. Louis 7imea argues that Grant is certain to be renominated, and that proves that he 1s certain to be beaten, It is remarkable how easily the Democrats convince themselves that the Republicans are going to commit bari- kari, expr ame They say that Sam Romeo Reep of Cin cinnati is going to be married!
