IMPOSITION ON IMMIGRANTS.
In another column will be kuld q letter from
Messrs Rischnuller Lo scher of Green wich street,
complaining o. tatemen, which appeared in our
paper OF Tues ay asst, under the above head. Al
though these gentlemen have succeeded in fully
excupating the mfe elves from the imputation Of a
any way sanctioning the extoiispate demands Of
their depot watchmen, twill be sem from 8 leir
own showing that there were good grounds To- the
charge that was preferred at the Mayors Off e. As
to their complaint that representations OF the fact
were not in the frs instance made to they a. it may
perhaps BE- as well to remind them that in the case
of emigran.s impositions OF this sort in which
no distinction can be drawn between the conduct
Of the employer and Of The ter ant are Of
too frequ n. occurrence for the ipu red parties not
to take the promptest and most q fectual steps to
obtain Justice. The persons aggr ieved in this in
stance suffered enough by the lc - of time occa-
stoned by an appeal to the authorities without
their hazardng the additions delay that might
have occurred from inefief tual effort to obtain
redress from unwilling employ ers-which is but too
frequently the case. No fr N certainly can effec-
tually guard against the ,shoneaty of their SER
wants. and Messrs. Rischms Ter Loescher have done
all that could have been expected from them by
dischargtng the delinquent Waterman, and remu-
ne1atiDg the complaining parties for their loss
Of time.
STREE PREACHING.
Tire open air preachers were out in full force
yesterday, and usual attracted large audiences.
l The meeting on the Battery was interrupted by q
gang Of evildispoeed PERSONS who created gener-
| al fight, in the course of which q man named Woods
/ received o dangerous wound in the side from dirk
i knife. It was armored tina. an American was shot,
but the report wss doubtless fabrication The in
reference of the police put an end to the tuult.
Not satisfied with this exhibition Of violence por-
ton of the mob proceeded to the Park, and in a
very few moments succeeded in getting up fight
with party of foreigners, and creating great ex.
citement generally throughout the Sixth ward. A
strong body of police, however, headed by the
Chief, attacked the beligerents, and succeeded 10
capturing half dozen Of them, and lodging them in
the Tombs. 1t was with the utmost difficulty that
the police prevented serious riot.
| MISCELLANEOUS.
