Order Reguators.v which appeared IN the HERALD
OF Sunday last, while II awakened public curiosity
and stimulated inquiry into the possibility OF clean
ing out the Augean stable or metropolitan govern
ment by the summary process recommended by the
self fappointed avengers OF the tax.riduen people
thoroughly alarmed the more nervous members OF
the L. o. r. ana rendered the leaders OF 1t extremely
cautious. Knowing full well that having once OBJ.
talned clue to the secrets OF the Order the HERALp
would spare neither expense nor trouble In OBJ
tanning the earliest intelligence of the further
doines OF the Order f6f the instruction and en-.
tertainment Of ts million readers, great effort
was made destroy the effect of the erpos by ridi
cung the article n sensational hoax, and to pre-
vent tho possibility OF further disclosures being
made through laxative members who were present
at the Beecker street conference. The greatest
effort to secure the first was weak column OF pic
ayune w.t. IN picayune morning paper, decrying
the HERALD article; and for the accomplishment OF
the second object the gentleman suspected OF .let-
ting the eat out OF the bag" was taken in charge by
persons having authority IN the Order and hurried
out OF the city. But as only lew persons read the
picayune article and IA everybody read the HERALD,
ana as the banlshed Regulator and his patriotic
brethren were wanted in Wall street and could
remain away, these efforts proved utterly abortive.
by superior enterprise and SKIN the HERALD
obtained possession OF the important informa-
ton that vigilance committee had been
actually formed, and was In full operation under
the taking title OF the IL. q. r. and spread 1t
before It's readers on Sunday last. The advantage
obtained has not been lost. the full and graphic
account OF the proceedings OF the second meeting OF
the Regulators, given below, VIII amply prove.
The location Of the house wherein the meeting was
held, and the names OF the leaders of the L. 0. r.,
WI n
was compelled 70 give before he could obtain the
object he sought. How this report was secured, or
through wnom Is Of little importance TO the public,
but 1t Is proper to say, Tor the information Of the
l.. o. H., that our reporter was not assisted IN any
way by any sworn member OF their body.
1t Will be recollected that ~
