THE RIOT AT NEwARK-STATEMENr OF A
CATHOLIC.

To ahe Ed,sor Of The ". y. Trtban@
SIR; You have been most grossly imposed upon IN
the report in to-day paper OF the attack on the Ger
man Catholic Church in Newark do not wish you
,o take nv word alone a. the truth against any other
rersons; but | do wish to place dat contradiction
by the side Of the calumne published IN your paper
aid then await judicial investigation, wnich wul
show on whose side is the truth.
It Is not true that shots and stones were first trf
from the church or at any time unless by members
Of the procession.
tis not trne that a priest and twenty men were
seen running from the church. The press OF the
church two in number, hal two brother priests ron
Now.Yo ok quietly taking dinner with them, AMI all
were unsusp pciuus f danger until the attack hal &c.
tually been made upon the church, when they fed
for their lives seTvgnt-woman and boy were
the Orly other persons in II. IL must be understOOd
that ihe residence OF the cergymen Is connected WIN
the chufch. There was nobody at all IN the churcn
properly speaking, until the rioters entered II.
Ii is True and il can be proved, that Srea' nAIy
of the members of the were OeastS drunk
II IL true that before reaching the church many
uicked ND stones as they walked along the street ID
be prepared for the intended assault
II is true that many pistol shots wytT h.ep oy 'eso
same men as they were going up william ST., before
tbov reached the church and before the row began
Ii is true end it will be proved that the Protestant
Association began and carried on the assault on the
church.
Itis true furthermore that the authorities Of New
ark have not the Pc yer quell riot If any conse
queuce. 1hi. was admitted by The Neicark Afcer-
is.r some lew weeks ago. The authorities were
aware of il the day before lie riot, and experienced
their want Of power the day OF the riot itself.
II s true that these church.burningS and sackings
ere becoming mu n too common tn be borne with pa
toLtly; especially "a the authorities either viii
not or cannot protect us.
II is true furthermore, that we have not only to
bear the injury done to our property, but We have
Blso To- be- condemned the offending party, mat.
ter how innocent We may be. A.

against the real sentiment OF the city and wba, poln-

tie reope were determined ;het their voice should De

the Nebraska organ just started here, that not a

sentiment was that Of the whole meeting. This terri

CHICAGO, Saturday, Sept 2, 1884.
This event, which came of last night is Of sufi
cient national Importance to deserve impartial
notice Feeling has high, that 1t s more thai
can be expected from human nature, 70 look for
calm statement, from any of the party organs in the
City. Your Chicago exchanges will have informed
YOU Of the great excitement which the expectation of
this meeting had produced. That feeling was in
tense and universal. As the time ap preached ex-
ci,ement became SO intensified that it would be diff.
cult to find term strong enough to describe it
Justly Beside the event itself several circumstances
tended to produce this. Two months ago il was diff
hcult to find any prominent citizen who would pub.
lcly defend the honorable Senators political acts but
as the time drew near for that gvuemans visit to the
city, his supporters became more bold; the peope
and especially such of his former adheren's have
recently denounced his proceedings, were reminded
of the manner in which Mr.. Douglas had formerly
ohas,ised them how severely they had been whipped
back TO their party, how the whole city had oowed
before him and boldly asserted, that he would
now, not only trumphantly yiniicate himself, but
that ON the morning after the meeting, his former
friends would orngngly beg resdmisson to the party,
and that he would be q stronger man than ever.
This, of course, was unwise, and the saun ranked,
and s.eeled the feelings against him.
Another cause of excem ent was the place selected
for the meeting. We have in the city public Park,
central fitted up for public meetings, and where al
mas meetings aIe held. When, however, the meet
ing is not expected to be large, we have central
hsll--the South Market Hall-where such meetings
are always held. Neither place, however, was Sc
lec,ed, and grea, indeed was public assoaishnen,
when il was announced tha: the demonstration would
take place in hall scross the river, in the very
center Of all Irsh influence Now for some time past
the Sensiovo political oppon nts had boldly asserted
that every effort woal be used to eoere Chicago rati
6caon Of the Nebraska bill This icton, resulting
either from jusiable reasons, from the repeated
sssertoDs of The Chicago TrbEas the especial org
of the Anti Nebraska feeling here has been almost
universally expressed for month past. The moment
the place Of meeting was announced rumors ran
through the streets like prairie FIRE, that free public
expression opinion wasto be suppressed ths, the
meeting would be packed; that body-guard OF
IrishmeD, twe,ve from each Ward, was appointed;
that large body had been organized 10 queIl all op

MEETING OF PROPERTY OWNERS OPPOSED
TO THE SECOND-AV. ASSESSMENT

Last evening meeting of property holders on tho
second-av. met at the Bulls Head Hotel, corner Of
1hirdav and Twenty y-fourth st to take measures 70
resist the Secondary. Assessment There were about
20 persons present. The meeting was called
TO order by Isaac ADRIAScE who notninateA
JACOB VAsDERPoEL for President, aud DAVID B.
Soor1 for Secretary The Chairman stated the pur-
pose of the meeting TO be to prepare material
jects: nrst TO obtain the names Of witnesses and
what they could state second, TO get money TO carry
opposition to the assessment. IL could be proved
that great deal of the work was not yet done and
that fact would be fatal to the assessment Facts and
money were wanted not speeches. Il was
stated that Mr.. Mac COtter could prove that
work was left undone that is, a rock leftl in
the vicinity Of Joness Wood. John G. Beck Nm.
Thomas Crimmins and Stephen B. Fish said they
could prove the same. Mr. Beekman could prove that
stone wall was built by an outside party to get rid
of the sone and culvert erected at inordinate ex
peDse.
Mr.. ScoTT asked whether an avenue could be con-
sideres graded when the sidewalks we're not laid
down. The Chairman answered il could not. Mr..
SCOTT said there sidewalk from 42dst. up to
where he lived. Other points, showing the grading
to be unfinished stated by several persons who
were ready TO prove them.
Mr.. McCrimmins, as contractor, was ready 10
prove that he would take portion of the work at
much ess than the contract. He considered that
from Fifty sixth-st 10 sixty second st. the blocks
could be dore at sl00 a block. A gentleman stated
that the charge made was s. 600 block.
Ninety TO One Hundred. .and. fourth.st. at IS
cents per cubic yard he bids opened, and
on a second advertisemnt the contract was awarded
at 70 cents.
Mr.. BURTIs SKIDNoRE presented compilation OF
facts and accounts tsken from the books OF the Mu
nicipality which he coniended made the assessment
Illegal beginning with the ordinance itself which he
showed to be unsound in three places.
Mr.. FREFcB could not understand the use OF hay-
ing the set aside the road should be paid
for, and another assessment would be levied.
Mr.. WETMoRE replied that the advantage TO those
below 42d.st would be that they should not pay
again for grading when they had paid already Those
above 42d. st. would pay only their due.
Mr. FRENCH said he had come for information and
he had got it; Mr.. skdmores proceedings were in
conformity with bis acknowledged good Judgment;
he wished TO take the assessment off himself las pc
low 42d. ST. and place il those above. lie thougn'
it too much to ask the latter to pay for such r"
action. 4, IL
Mr., sKIpMoRE did not understand IL 80; he only
wanted to have an unjust assessment set asife
Mr. McMAHAs thought the object ought to DC DOT
tn set aside the assessment but 10 endeayor 70 nave
the City pay for the avenue.
Mr. WErMoRE thought that a single cent could not
be put on the railroad.
A subscription made 10 pay for the room. Inc
election of Treasurer was deferred. The meeting
then adjourned.

POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY AT CHICAGO.
THE truth OF THE DOUGLAS MEETING.

Correspondence Of The N. Y. Tribune.
CHIclGo, Friday, Sept. !, 1854.
l have this hour returned from the Douglas
"Vindication Meeting" As il will be variousy re-
ported, perhaps some account Of it from outsider
may not prove unacceptable The meeting was a re-
msJkable one, and will excite comment, both in ro-
gard to il as an expression Of public opinion and also
with reference the disturbances which interrupted
the speech.
As an expression OF the public sentuen, Of Chicago,
the meeting Overwhelmingly conclusive against
Douglas. For an hour before the meeting numerous
bells were toed and above the sound Of every other,
and as il consciously and by authority procaimiag
the great voice Of the city, the solemn booming
of the big city bell As far as observable up and
down the river the flags of the vessels were at half
mast Added 10 these indications the aspect of the
immense throng of men, they came with stern and
grave demeanor in the dusk of the evening" into the
space in trout OF the North Market had the effect OF
very unusual and to an almost sablime public
demonstration snd when the first terrible groan
rolled up from that vast assembly in respon,e to an
early offensive remark by Douglas, groan so uui.
versal so heartfelt, and expressive Of the mingled
contempt and indignation OF the people, il mastered
even his andseity and he measuraby lost his sefeon
troll and hence much of the disturbance which fol-
lowed. repeat, as an expression Of the public SEN
tmeDs Of Chicago, the meeting Wa Overwhelmingly
conclusive against Douglas
Bat Judge Douglas was not permitted to finish his
speech This extremely unfortunate for Chicago,
because the disturbance wrong in itself and be-
cause be and his friends win esiul--indeed he 80
asserted again again on the stand-tha it pre-
determined and that an armed band had come organ
ized and determined at all hazards to prevent his
being heard.
A careful Observance Of the occurrences Of the
evening, 80 far ss they could Be and understood
by stranger satisfies this charge is unfounied.
He in fact spoke over hour, with frequent inter
ruptions 1T is true, but not such TO break of the
line Of his argument and be remarked before he left
the stand that IL the audience had gwen hin ten
m putes more he would have got through. Why
