Philadelphia Riots.


The following extracts relating TO the late riots,
we take from the Philadelphia Gazette of last
evening
STATE OF THE ClrY.-On going to press we may
say that all is quiet. The rotous district is almost
| entirely clear. The Grard Bank building, which
IS the headquarters of the military, has, OF course
a warllke aspect, with its sentnels pacing before III
but the crowd about it is only curious crowd. No
fighting disposition is manifested. The City Troop
has been drawn up IN front OF the headquarters
during the morning.
Joseph Cook, who was killed while prming one
OF the guns OF the insurgents on Sunday evening,
was an old rloter. In 1912, on the 4th of July. he
was engaged in riot, and after some Of the riot
| from the police. Yesterday he was buried with
The honors of war;" and the American Flag was
| thrown about hIm!
Some OF our military men begin to talk OF taking
| OIL their uniform, and leaving people to seek pro-
lection where they can find it, Two months since
they were reproached for not acting promptly
enough; now they are charged with acting too
promptly. They are beginning TO think that there
no great pleasure in exposing their lives tor their
| fellow citizens, and then bearing reproach as ii
they were blood,thirsty mscreants.
1t Is enormously stated in some OF the morning
papers that the ball has been extracted from Capt
Scotts wound. This was not the fact when we in
CURED at his lodgings this morning. His situation
is not dangerous, however, and with care he may
/ soon recover.
On Sunday night the mob broke into The yard Of
| Merrlck u Towne'ssteam engine foundery, where
there was large quantity Of materials, such
scraps ol ron slugs, &c., preserved fer the use oi
the United States government, and provided them
selves with supply.
One Of the leaders OF the iioters is said 10 be
State officer; We trust while the Governor is in
town he will ascertain the truth Of the report and
| act accordingly.
This morning woman was arrested in Second
street market tor using inf1ammatory and seditious
language IN relation ito the recent riots in South
wark, and thereby collecting crowd around her
Being taken before Alderman Redman, he held
her TO bail In the sum Of $500 to keep the peace.
CoRoNER's VERDIcTs.--James Linserberger, one
| OF the persons mentioned among the wounded in
our list yesterday, is since dead. The Coroner
held an inquest on the body, and the verdict is,
that he came to his death (while in the act of
ping) by gun shot wound inflicted by the mi
lltary under the command Of Gen. Cadwaader.
We do not know where the Coroner gets his I-
rtes, but we think verdicts, such as the above
should be received subject to explanation. The
verdlcts in the case of other persons shot by the
military were similar TO the above, except the
clause IN parenthesls.
