Correspondence of the Dispatch.
Reaction-Eramination of Rioters-House
KITE.
90 New York, July 6.
MEssRs. EDIToRs-The reaction necessarily
attendant upon the excitement of the Fourth
was clearly manifested yesterday. A dali
sombre feeling prevailed generally. por.
tion of the Hibernians concerned in the fight
alluded to in my last, were examined before
Justice Stuart of the 9Th Ward yesterday
who is one of the most fearless magistrates in
the discharge OF his duty in the City-and the
ring gleader was held TO answer in the sum of
$4,000, and the participants to the number of
thirty seven, in the sum of $500 each. There
are a large number of the rioters awaiting ex
animation in other wards. The stage driver
will recover.
The subject of work house for depraved
neglected youth and idle dissolute men, has
long occupied the thoughts of the citizens oi
Richmond. One day last " eek, was politely
shown through the various apartments Of o
bona fide workhouse, the House of Industry
al the Five Points, which institution is under
| the careful and devoted charge of Rev. L. Nj
Pease. The Infamous and immoral character
OF this portion of New York city, the Five
Points, has long been known throug ghout the
Union. Ii has borne the tenn OF he'll upon
earth, and has not its equal on this continent.
1 he name Five Points is derived from the in
tersection Of five streets, and here within the
circumference of mile are several hundred
low white and negro brothels, cent rummeries,
| thieve-sials, where stolen goods are rec sived,
and scores Of decaying loatisome novels, ten
anted by drunkards, burglars and the aban
doned Of every sex and color. A similar mass
Of filth. misery and crime in so small a space,
can only be found in England. Until few
years ago the degraded tenants OF this section
were left to corruption aud ruin-none being
| found willing 10 60 personally among these
children of sin. encourage them 10 reform, and
assist in snatching them from moral death
Bui there was one who listened ia agony 10
the despairiDg voices of these dying wretc hes.
Ii was The Rev. Mr.. Pease, devoted selfsde.
nying christian. He entered one of the most
filthy of the dwellings, located in the centre of
this mass of human misery, and thereafter
having il properly cleaned, commenced his al
most hopeless work Of reform. He visited
many OF the moor outcasts and invited them TO
his house. There during the day be would
allow number of those honestly disposed to
come and sew-he furnishing them work. In
the evenings he held temperance and religious
meetings, and his auditors you may be sure
were not of the most select de scription. Re
foAI Iu ho Hal nd
stones-and his addresses were continually
interrupted by the oaihs and menaces of men
hired by some OF the vile masters of iniquity
in The neighborhood, expressly TO break up
the meeting. Mr. p. used persu aston, and
where that would not do, called the police 10
his mid, and finally succeeded in calming the
turbulent propensities Of his visitors. Step
by step, slowly but surely the worthy mission
.ary sped on his work of love. Commencing
with the house which be first hired, he has
broken up brothels, gaDblingy and drinking
houses all along the row, uatii be has hired
the entire row OF seven brick houses-cleansed
them Of filth and their degraded inhabi,ants,
and filled them with reformed families and
reclaimed men, women and vagrant childsrn.
Every one who enters the house must W0rk.-
Last year the expense Of keeping these dwelE
ings and tenants amounted to SIC, 600, and Of
This amount ihe pefsons3 employed cleared
$l2 900 30 that only $4,000 will have to be
made up by private subscription. Mr.. Pease

institution will pay for itself sa' y sioiss
