The Irish section Of The taiors met yesterday
morning at the Sixth Ward Hotel, and, though
they seemed 10 feel deeply for their brethren ia
prison and the hospital. they dad approve Of the
course pursued, and they found IL, therefore, IA
"a The occasion required. The meeting separated
without adopting any. II will be seen. from the
report az the Congress of Trades below, that the
same difficulty was felt ia that body. We here
subjoin some account OF
THE rAuORs IN PRISON.
Under guard ~ policemen, the thirty eight
tail0rs, charged with riot, and some with assault,
with intent to kill, arrested on Monday afternoon,
a. The mot IN Thiry-eighih street, and confined IN
the Sixteenth ward station house ,twere yesterday
transferred TO the jail situated at the Second Dis
uict police court, Jefferson Market, located in the
Sixth avenue, foot Of Ninth street. The prisoners

mitted them TO prison to await further hearing on

On visiting the prison yesterday, and viewing the
prisoners il was evident that depression Of spirits
was msnifestly exhibited by all Of them. Some were
very badly wounded on the he ad showing most dec-
dedy the demonstration made by The police in effect
ing the arrest OF the prisoners The nine prisoners
wounded are usmed Geo Luthweter. Emanuel Sig
Ter, Martin ZeigleT, Frederick Schmidt, Florence
Henry Schurhardt, and Jacob Webill. These
men exhibited very .woeful picture, each with
his head shaved, and the wounds thereon pas-
tered mp with sticking plaster. Some of them
eeem to be quite feeble in consequence Of losing so
much blood Strange to say. that only one in this
number able 10 speak English Sufficient to be
Understood, and out OF the whole thirtyeight Ger,
mans, not more than two or three could understand
English. The majority OF this numoer have not
been 10 the country much over a year, and some
only few months. Therefore, the reader can
deluded men have been carried on, from step 10
STEP by come designing parties, until the result has
shown itself by a large number being now in GUS
tody by the public authorities, on charges Of riot,
and assault and batteries, with intent to kill.
However serious a. this riot was, n, one has
been kiiied that can learn, notwithstanding the
Iumor that two were dead. Such, we believe, is
not the case. The policemen injured, although
badly, are doing well, and will recover.
During the dsy, yesterday, the Chief Of Police,
under the order of the Mayor. kept reserve force
near at hand, in case Of another attack and seve-
raj large omnibusses were in waiting to convey
policemen 10 any given point OF the city where an
outbreak might take place. However, up to g
late hour last night, the city was quiet; no more
demonstrations on the part Of the tailors took
place A great dissatisfa ction begins to exist on
the part of the wives Of those now in prison, who
arc depouncing the leaders and managers OF the
confederation for not liberating their husbands
from prison. Many Of the wives OF the prisoners
were allowed TO visit their husbands during yester-
day, and to-day the magistrate will examine the
prisoners.
The csuse OF the riot II seems originated IN con-
sequence Of German, by the name OF Frederick
Wartz residing in Thuty-eigh,h street, having, as
ALE grd engaged with the Z" bosses" 10 make coats
al the reduced prices, and then eddie them out
again to journeymen tsiors, he Wartz) making 4
profit Of twenty-five cents ON each coat as a kind
Of sub-boes thus realizing some FIVE six dollars
per day profit, out Of the labor OF the iourneymcn
THIS fact was communicated to the association,
and on Monday a deputston was formed, consist
ing 81 one hundred, Ia wait on Mr.. Wartz, Tor the
\ purpose Of making him return the coats thus pro-
cured. or take possession OF them. THIS deputs-
II ti,p WINS started of. but before they arrived in
N Thrty-sghb street, come friend OF Wartz Ga spy
in the camp went ahead, and informed Waru Of
the intention Of the tailors.
On the arrival at the house, the tailors found that
Wsriz had barred the windows and bolted the
doors, and thus prevented their ingrese; in conse
quenee thereof. they returned back 70 their head
quarters IN Hester street, when, after a coasuh,-
ton. the force was much increased. and other di-
rrciions given. Accordingly, another visit TO
Warizs house was made. the door was this Il ne
broken in, and tho coats all seized. numbering near
q hundred. and conveyed away by force. The
police now inisrfer,d. which terminated as we
stated IN yesterdays Herald.
