We know we'll that the conduct of the dis
turbers Of the public peace here last night,
will not be defended by single man of char.
acter, or by any one who has the slightest in
forest whatever in the prosperity of our city,
or in the we'll being of society any where.
We have heard complaints made that too
msny employees of the Government office
holders-fsured in the proceedings. Though
we agree that those who assumed the manage
ment Of the affair committed gross blunder.,
indeed, in that connection, the fact forms no
excuse for the outrage upon the public peace
and on the rights Of others, involved in the
shameless conduct of the mob 80. .5,i1
;. The meeting adjourned over until 3 p. m =
on Friday next to re-assemble then and there.
On that occasion there will DO no Interruption;
as men who would seek to destroy by violence
the guarantees Of the American constitution,
will not dare to carry out that purpose in the
light of the day-not they, indeed. -.
Charge to New Granada The return OF
Hon James 8. Green, of Missouri, United
States Charge to New Granada, at this time,
is not occasioned by his resignation, as allege1
on the Avenue. He comes home only because
bis health required a brief change of climate;
and the unsettled state of political affairs at
Bogota, at the present time, rendered it prob
able that at no future time could he be better
spared from his post. Mr.. g., who is now
daily In consultation at the State Department
upon American questions in issue with the
New Granadian Government, contemplates
flying visit to his family in Missouri, before
again sailing for his post. 1t will be recol-
lected that the rights and interests Of the i'm
mense American transit over the Panama
isthmus are virtually in his care; and the
fact that the public of the United States hear
no complaints from that interest or from the
New Granadian Government, goes to show
that those interested in the Panama Railroad.
the mail steamship lines on both sides, and in
American commerce at Aspinwall and Pana
ma, are right in the high appreciation of his
diplomatic abilities and services which they
express on all occasions.
