An Ohio Catholic bishop On the Riots.
The Cleveland Herald, Of Monday saws:

"Bishop Rappe yesterday morning preached
q sermon In the Cathedral on the subject of the
riots In New York. He was unspsring In bit
ter denunciation of the mob that had committed
such outrages. He warned his hearers agsi nst
any act that tended In any degree to prov yoke
such scenes here. He said that the laws must
be obeyed, and the conscription Law must be
qulstly submitted to among the rest. He urged
the members Of his flock TO attend strictly 10
their business, and not even to discuss the
question of the drai. If any of them were
drafted, and could not procure exemption, they
must do their duty to their country as soldiers.
"If the drafted man was poor, and no provi-
sion was made by the city or county for the
relief of his family, they should he cared for by
the church. .....
He warned them not to ill-treat the colored
people. A colored man had as much right 10
live, and to labor for his living, as o white man
had, and their rights must be respected. II
was cowardly and sinful to molest those peo.
pie, because their skin was of different color.
HE also spoke against the practice of de.
manding extortionate wages. 1t was wrong
and wicked to extort from employers more than
The fair price of their labor.
Finally, he warned them not TO provoke Z
breach Of the peace In any manner, and said
that he had pledged his word as q Catholic
bishop TO the citizens Of Cleveland that there
should be no disturbance from the Catholic
Irish, and he looked to them that his pledge
should not be broken" =

able shame, that such q sordid, murdcrous, mis-
crcsnt litter should have 80 long imposed upou
ms the conditions Of O conquered race! That
such hideous beasts should be the domineering

and vlrtue of the city, have the power to thrust
the vllcst of their number into the Councils and

OF them being beaten and the others chased

Preyiopsly they had stated that coa. Bir,ey
hsd given them permission to carry with them
bayoncts, but they were to avoid getting into
ons in self-defence. The affair occurred while
the policeman Of the beat was attending to his

Yesterday morning an affair occurred Of Q

made their appearance In Dover street and &C.

tnent, and requested them to desist, but instead
Of doing so they shook their bayonets in his
face and otherwise acted outrageously They
were soon compelled to leave that locality. :
In the afternoon guard Of five or six negro
soldiers who were sent ont to gather up strag-
giers Of the regiment, came across one In the
| same vicinity and attempted 10 arrest him, but
he drew revolver and discharged one of the
barrele the contents taking effect, II Is stated
| In the ieshy part of the leg. He then beat a
hasiy retreat, followed BY the guard, as also by
crowd Of $50 or 200 persona, and passed along
Lombard street to Exchange Place, where Il
CHANGED that . sailor intercepted him. On the
tlatter endeayoring TO stop his further progress,
he drew his revolver and discharged another
barrel, the ball entering the wrist of the sailor;
who grasped the sword which the negro wore
| at his side, and rushed at him with the inten-
tion Of plunging 1t into him. r
The crowd had by this time reached the spot,
and in order to save himself from summary
punishment, the negre took refuge In one Of
the warehouses occupied by the Commissary
Department. Policeman Magruder reached the
place In time to take the sword away from the
sailor as he rushed in, and was obliged TO -four

await an examination to-day. He gave his
