DisORDERLY GATHERINGS 1t is the universal
desire Of our quiet sober, law abiding citizens,
hat the Metropolitan Police will not lose sight
of the 9th section Of the act of 1858. for the
"preseTvation Of O:deT and p1OpertY,n which
makes IL unlawful "fOr any person or persons to
Congregate and assemble at the corners Of ant Of
the streets or avenues, in any street. avenue CT
alley, or GA the foot pavements or flag footwavs
Of any street or avenue, or at the entrance or on
the steps, cellar doors, poTches or porticoes Of
any public or private building Otice, or et the
entrance. or IN, on, or around any OF the encIO-
sures OF the Capitol, Executive Mansion, public
squares, City Hall, Judiciary Square or at t. c
entrance Of any church, school house theatcr or
assembly room, or In or around the SINE, or any
other public or private enclosure In the city OF
Washington, and be engaged In loud or bolster
obs talking, or to insult make rude or obscene
comments, .emarks or observations on persons
passing by the same, or In their hearing or TO SO
crowd obstruct or incommode the said foot pave
ment = as to prevent the free and unin-
terTupted passage thereof under penalty of not
less than five dollars for each and every such Of
fensen There Is no law more frequently vio-
lated than this. Violations are OF nightly Occur
renee, and but few affests have been made under
II, comparatively; certainly moi enough to secure
quiet citizens, male and female, from insult and
annoyance. In the Second, Third and Fourth
Wards the nuisance is common on the most pub
. lie thorOugbfsres, and ladies and gentlemen are
insrlted by gangs Of nonresident roughs and
resident rewdies, who are rivals In blackguard-
ism, II not In the light-lnGsred profession. We
would suggest that II the first and second sec
tiOns Of the act were strictly enforced, and all
these roughs made to give good security when
arrested, or serve a term In the workh the
city would be relieved of nuisance.
