[From the Philadelphia Times, July Iol
The military are thoroughly hated in Southwark.
Some Of the medical sIaf stepped into an ice
cream garden down there one day last week, and
having Par,aken Of the frgid retreshment, disco
vered shortly after by its Effects that they had pro-
badly been drugged with tartar emetic. The idea
OF physician taking medicine, and administered,
TOO, by one without "licenee TO kill'' secundem
artem was rather ludicrous, and they continued TO
"throw up" the affair to each other for some time
afterwards.
REWARD FOR THE RIoTERs-We see that $500
reward is offered for the apprehension OF each and
every person engaged in the recent bloody war
fare upon the law and its ministers. Thisis right.
1t viii do more than all other things 10 bring the
really guilty TO justice. The traitors will betray
each other without doubt, not only to get the re-
their own crime. We hope and trust that every
man who has lent helping hand 70 this band OF
rebels against good governmeni-thls gang OF des-
perate desecrators OF the American hag-may be
put before jury OF his country, and punished for
his audaciiy.
The public feeling in Southwark has undergone
complete revolution, almost, since the arrests OF
the persons engaged in the late reasonable riots
have been commenced. 1t was thought before,
that the authorities dare not make the arrests
Now, general alarm instead OF general audaclty is
exhibited It is said that thousand spies pretend
ing TO be rabid " Natives' have been set to work
in that district, and that the names of some -four
hundred suspected persons have already been Sab
mitted to the officers OF the court. The result Of
this rumor Isl complete panic. Fear and trembling
speak lest listener be at hand to report their oh
servations; and those who actually participated In
the riot instead OF boasting about the streets OF the
act, are seeking to conceal themselves in obscure
places. In the meantime the Moyamenslng prison
gates cape pretty ellen to admit the arrested, and
the law is in fair way, at last, to vindcate ITSELF
and make the cupable answer for their warfare
upon the civil authorities.
The recent riots In this city are terribly In
jnrng II in his business and prospects. We do not
believe five millions Of dollars would atone for the
pecuniary damage alone. One gentleman arrived
here from the West Indies with $20O,O00, which

markets--the excellent water-the regular streets

chase ground 10 erect row of houses, when the
KensiDgton disturbances commenced. The South
wark followed-and in despair, he started for New
York; declaring that he did not feel his person safe
IN Philadelphia, to say nothing OF his property he
goes with his wealth to New York. There are
hosts of such instances. People are leaving us in
all directions, carrying of their ready cash. Then
again, business here is thoroughly suspended on
perlty we have been seized with paralysis. Every
man suffers more or less In this, for II extends
through all the various ramlhcatons OF society.
The taxes too, for some years to come, Will be
enormous A quarter OF a million Of dollars will
not pay the damage sustained. This will advance

continuance or repetition OF the troubles.

taken before Alderman Bolleau. who committed
him in default Of $1,000 bail. This IS the man that

The Anti Catholic and riotous feeling is particu-
larly strong among the pretty women OF Southwark
We note that they go so far in their exhibition

From Philadelphia Chronicle, July 1871
The riots are now numbered with the things that
have been, and the rioters, or many OF them, have
left for parts unknown. The Attorney General,
The Sheriff, and other officers OF the law, are
lively employed ferretng them out Yesterday there
was no disturbance Of any kind The military
several OF the companies from the interior OF the
State-paraded in uniform in the afternoon, and
made fine display Troops from the country
continue 70 arrive. On Saturday night, two com
panies arrived; the Lancaster Fensbes, a well drill
ed and handsome corps and company of rifle
men. They are both under command Of Major
Hambright. Other companies arrived yesterday
Many people wonder what the military are on duty
tor, when oil is quiet. We think they should be
continued where they are, as long us possible
They can do no harm, and may do much good.
