ST. PATRICK's DAY IN NEW YoRK--A
DISTURBANCE WITH THE PoLICE.-The an
niversary of Ireland's patron saint was
celebrated with much enthusiasm by the
Irish-American citizens of New York. The
American and Irish flags were displayed
on many buildings, and several of the
streets through which the procession passed
had the appearance Of general holiday,
the streets being densely crowded with per-
sons. The Laborers' Union Benevolent
Society alone paraded nearly 5000 men, in
five divisions. Many of the societies had
elegant banners, some of which were car
ried on wagons drawn by four and six
horses. 1t is estimated that there were
| 10000 men in the procession. The column
was headed by the Sixty-ninth regiment,
which paraded with full ranks. This
organization was presented with full
stand of colors by Mayer Hoffman on be-
half Of the city. There were forty-four
bands of music in the procession; fiity-two
elegant banners, nineteen Of which were
drawn in large wagons; and seventeen car
riages, carrying the officers of societies.
The most attractive feature Of the process
sion was the companies Of cadets, which
headed nearly all of the temperance or
CARNATIONS. An Irish .jaunting car and an
Irish pike attracted much attention. The
organizations were reviewed by Mayor
Hoffman in person. John Francis Mcguire,
member of Parliament from Cork i; Richard
OGorman, Matthew T. Brennan, and the
members of the Common Council, were also
present.
There was an immense gathering of
spectators in front of the City Hall. The
snow had been removed and thrown aside,
and the marching in front of the hall was
comparatively good.
The only unpleasant incident transpiring
while the pageant was in progress was a
free fight between some of the Hibernians
and the police at the corner of Pitt and
Grant streets, originating in an effort of
the former to remove truck that was
blocking up the passage-way. Some fifteen
of the police were badly hurt, while about
an equal number Of their opponents had to
retire from the field with broken heads.
Many of the rioters were placed under ar
rest.
The Tribune treats the disturbance in a
very serious manner, and gives the list of
twenty -one policemen who were injured,
three of them seriously from swords cuts
on the head, and adds
"The slaves used by the officers of the
ancient Hibernian societies were broken
and used as clubs, the spear-heads and
lances on the ends of the weapons infct-
ing terrible wounds upon the heads and
faces of the officers, who defended them
selves as best they could with their batons.
One of the marshal's aids of Society No. 4
Joined in the melee, and with his naked
sabre cut right and left among the police,
inhicting in two or three cases very dan
gerous wounds. Other officers joined their
comrades, and were in turn beset and
beaten. In several cases the officers were
attacked and beaten before they could
reach their comrades"

A FINE PRosPEcT.-A partial canvass of
Washington city has demonstrated the
fact that the fourth and sixth wards are
the only two which are at all certain for
the anti-negro suffrage party. In all the
other wards the colored people and their
friends are apparently in the majority, and
are well organized.
It is said that in the first ward George
T. McGlue, white, and John p. Cook,
colored, are the prominent candidates for
the nomination for aldermen. 1t is yet too
early, however, to form any correct opinion
on the subject.--Sun.

THE Duty OF VIRGIN1A-GooD ADVICE.
The Valley Virginian says:
"Our duty is so plain one that it seems
idle to repeat it, and we would not but for
the deplorable apathy and indifference
natural we know Of our people. We
must take charge of and control the negro
population, and every white man that has
a vote must vote, and instruct every color
ed man in his duty. The great hero of
this century and of the war, Stonewall
Jackson, did not deem it beneath his dig
nifty, but considered it a sacred duty, to
instruct the negroes, even before the war.
Are we so proud and foolish that we can
not profit by his exampleP Or will We
lie supinely on our backs in mastery in
activity and see this vast element OF
strength welded against US by the vilest
and lowest creatures on Goods green
earthH We will not insult the intelli-
gence of our people by admitting such a
thing, but we feel it our duty to urge upon
them the necessity of going to work at
once and controlling this element. There
is no time to be lost and it would be a
poor compliment to people who held q
world at bay with 'skirmish line for
four years to say they cannot now con-
troll four millions of race which that
skirmish line at the same time held in
subsection. -
" The silver lining to the 'cloud of
our troubles is to make an element of
strength out of that with which our enc
mics expected to destroy u.s. and it is our
duty to black and white to do it. 1t is
bitter "a hard duty to perform; but
remember the words of our best and
braycst,' and let every man do his part in
the trying times now upon us. Providence
always assists those who help themselves"
