The LATE ELECTION RIors.-Editor of The
Star: IL is proposed that public meeting shall
be held on Thursday evening next by the citizens
OF w ashington, to give expression Of their an.
proval OF the action of the Federal and Munich
pal authorities in relation to the riot on Monday
the lst inst. The motive is doubtless laudable
but in the judgment of many citizens such course
Will be extremely injudici0us at the present time
As q mere vindcation of the authorities IL is not
necessary; the entire press of our CITY, and with
few exceptions, that of the whole country. with
ont distinction or party. has emphatically appro-
yea the conduct o, the President and the Mayor
An acknowledgment Of thanks, and not a vindi.
cation OF their conduct is alone called for But
even such an expression of opinion would be IN
timed on the part OF the citizens of Washington.
IN view OF the necessary action OF the Crini nal
Court, which meets on Monday next There will
doubtless be many persons indicted for a partici-
patton in this riot and 1t is notorious that steps
nave been taken for the purpose Of charging the
MAYOR with high criminal offence
Now, this officer and his friends are prepared to
meet every such accusation against him with
naughty defiance; and not only in his behalf
but also Of those who truly guilty they seek
to avoid any expression Of public opinion which
can be tortured into charge to forestall or con-
troll the judgment Of the legal tribunals Let us
leave ITO our opponents to resort, at this peculiar
time, to excited public meetings and infiamma-
tory harangues, and when the courts of Justice
shall have acted, then II will be appropriate for
the citizens of Washington with ali the facts L.
gally established to make known, in the most
signal manner, their stern condemnation Of the
authors Of this outrage and their high apprecia-
ton of the conduct of those who have rescued our
city from violence and our country from dlshou-
or. Under these circumstances ii may be reason
ably expected that the proposed meeting will be
postponed until more seasonable time, when all
may unite In the accomplishment Of a common
object. WI
Any Recommendation from the writer of the
above will always receive respectful considera-
'ion from the citizens of Washington. Without
entering upon the question of the appropriate
Time iOr holding such meeting, we cannot, how
ever dismiss the subject without saying that a
large majority Of our citizens are anxious for
an opportunity to express, in the most public
aud unmstakable manner, their endorsement
of the vigorous measures by which mob law
was put down on Monday week
The NAVAL Courts OF IsourRy-Iieut
