"
and Conviction OF the Rioters.
There was cullen aud rebslious spin: abroad ou
Monday night, bur there we're go many blnecoals and
bsyonets sprukltd over the city thai The riolefs
were exceedingly careful as to what they said or
did iD their cOneayes around street IN the
low grogga ries Of the infected district; Tie state OF
feeling to which we Ieier was brought about by
the restoration Of stolen pFoperty-;he arrest of
riotersthe prompt action of the civil and military
forces-and the determination OF the Authorities 10
sustain the laws and defend The citizen INEFFECTIVE
Of color creed.
Our policemen ard our soldiers are unit On the
question of putting down tie riot aud publishing the
rio,ers ~ tie, wiling TO work sngiy or
together fos The accomplishment Of that end.
Order has been 20 Gar restored that many Of The
negro refugees hsse lief; Police Headquarters 10
look after employment. The dwellings of some
have been burned and they have no home % which
they ceu return. The dwellings Of Others have been
ss ked, and they will find nothing but vacant apart
nsnis-tLe rioters having appropriated their beds,
ehars, tables, dishes ana clothing. In some ne Oh
borhoods it is no, safe for them to even now ven
ture hoIe.
Notwithstanding the fact that we have an I'M
repimentals-who
,,, armed ana equsl TO any
.rs,eanev no abe.bodied man who Is loys' !"
bumsni,v should give slumber to his eyes Oalii he
has IN some way enrolled himself as guardian, .,
the peace.
The mob has feline character, it can make die
cozda1t noise q; night, etesl silently along watch
ing for = chance TO spring upon tie victim. lti'
not sAfs 70 trust the animal even when II purrs ana
sheshs its claws neither s il wise 20 conclude that
i, is dead because it has been put down, for like
cat, Il has more lives than one.
Three prominent leaders have been arrested, the
recep,scles are crowded vita rioters, aud the work
goes bravely on; bat every man must constitute
brnself keeper Of the peace, and with unsieepinR
vigilance watch for the welfare Of tue city and
country.
With the exception Of al unmportant attack
made upon some colored men employed by the Erie
Railroad Company at their wharf, the city was
quiet yesterday. The police patrols have agair
been resumed, and it is now deemed safe for the
policemen to act sngy during the day except in TIE
Eighteenth and Twenty-irst Wards, where double
treble, and quedruple patrols are considered neees
s.ry. In both Of those wards there are many idi'
and ugly meu armed with slungshots, pistols, an'
clubs, whose fear Of detection does no, seem snii
cient to deter them from still continuing tier at
tacks upon policemen, soldiers, or citizens, even IL
broad day.
Mutterings and threats by the rioters are daily
heard. Information was yesterday furnished BY The
police to Lieut.. Baldwin, commanding Battery {
United States Artillery, stationed in the Park, tina
from various sources, il bad been learned that Ger
tain men had plotted TO surprise the guard at SOM
favorable moment during the night, and spike tn
guns. AS IA precsution against such q surprise,
double guard was ordered.
The eolored population of the Eighth Ward have
we understand, within the last few days, been ex
ceedingly busy in forming military organization
and in terrifying and Strengthening Sullivan ant
Thompson streets, between Broome and Crane
Streets which section Of the city is largely inhabited
by them. They feel confident of their ability TO re
sist spy attack which may be made upon them b,
the riolers, and have, it is said plenty Of arms ant
ammunition.
REWARDS FOR TIE RINCLEADERs
We understand that it is the intention Of tht
Mayor shortly 20 issue proclamation Offering re
wards for the apprehension Of the murdeTers Of TN
colored men in this city last week, aud Of tie par
Elephants ia the other crimes perpetrated by the mob
This measure will doubtless have the effect OF bring
Ing the rngleaders to justice.
