As II was, they committed sad error. III
they had any apprehension Of disturbance, |
they ST. uld have procured the attendance /
OF magistrates and officers OF the law, placed
themselves under their protection, and acted
only under their direction. II, in the very
commencement of the disturbance, a few of
the aggressors had been captured, and car
ricd off 10 jail, the deplorable catastrophe
would have been prevented.
The Police Of this city are censured by
some for refusing % 90 over to help quell the
disturbance. it should lie recollecied, how
ever. that they lose their authority Oh leav-
ing the county, and are no more than pri-
vaie citizens on the Iloboken side Of the
river. Besides, Hoboken is in the state Of
New Jersey, and our policemen have not
even the slightest shadow of an official right
there.
New York is infested by rowdies to almost
as great an extent as it is infested by rats !;
and wish 10 Heaven that the same weapons
with which we destroy the latter could be
brought to bear against tho former. Don
Emanuel Lyons Magnetic Rat Powder s"
is moi hurllul to human beings, although it
is sure death to all sorts Of vernin. or else
VIC might use il TO exierninaie rowdyism
from our midst. As soon rs Mr.. Lyon gets
done admring the medals which he received
per The Baltic from the Emperor Nicholas
and Queen Victoria, in acknowledgement,
suppose, of the efficacy of his magnetic
powder in freeing their palaces from royal
rats, cockroaches, and other royal nuisances
| would advise him TO turn his attention ia
the preparation of some kind of powder by
which Rock Boys, Short Boys, and all simi-
lar pests with which New York is infested
can be at least held in check, if not utterly
destroyed. II Don Emanuel Lyon will only
| do this for us, much as we now thank him
for rendering our homes agreeable and free
from vermin, our future gratitude will as far
exceed our present thankfulncss, as II Rock
Boy exceeds rat in everything annoying
and detesable.
