drown his voice and break up the meeting The
most obscene epithets were applied to him, mot
withstanding there was number OF ladies pres

the speaker, and cries of - Pull down the
stage" uttered from many quarters The police
with Captain Goddard at their head were there
but, We are sorry to say, made no attempt what
ever 70 preserve order and prevent the speakers
from being interrupted. Accordingly, many re-
spectacle gentlemen, finding 1t impossible to hear
what was said, and becoming disguised IL not
frightened with the action of the rowdies present
who were allowed to have full sway, were COM
PEELED to retire. Finally, however the portly

manner, aided by his stentorian voice, convinced
the rowdles tnat he was not thus to be put down.

treat them well. Loud and prolonged cheering I
IL would only be swapping the devil for the witch
Mr.. Wallach. however, can be beaten very easily;
but Mr.: Berret can't do 1t. The speaker then
spoke OF his own prospect of an election and said
the question was settled beyond doubt in his
favor II only those for whom he had done so much
would support him, and not cast their votes for

The speaker was here interrupted by loud
Misses, and wells of the most obscene character
followed by shower Of stones aimed at those on
the stage 1T seeming to be the disposition of the
rioters to personally attack Dr. Magrude that gen.
tlemans friends prevailed upon him to retire from
the spot. One young man was struck, though not
seriously Injured whilst several of the lamps were
broken TINS disturbance caused a general siam

used toward him, besides being interrupted in va
rlous other ways such as firing packs Of crackers
immediately in front of the stage throwing of
stones, &c. The police made no effort to stav
these rlotous proceedings, but looked calmly on
apparently very much Interested in what was
going on. One OF our respectable citizens upon
the stand noticing Captain Goddard below left
his position and addressing Captain Goddard ar
pealcd to him TO preserve order and protect the
speakers. The Captain replied be saw no dis
