IN FRONT OF THE M0RGUE.
The streets In the neighborhOod Of
the Morgue at Bellevue Hospital,
were, this morning, filed with spec
tstors. both interested and curious,
many of them in quest of their friends,
but by far the larger portion impelled
bV a morbid desire to see the manned
bodies of the victims of yesterdays
riOtinQs, The number of cOrpses in
the Morgue this morning were tWen-
ty-six. and of these twenty were iden-
titled, and permits given by Coroner
Young for their removal. The other
six still remain. The bodies lay in
coffins. which were placed in rows
along the wards attached to the dead
house, and the crowd was allowed to
pass around to see il any OF the Gead
4 were friends. About seven thousand
people must have passed.
THE sIXTY-NINTH BEHAVE BADLY.
The majority of the Sixty-ninth
regiment were locked up in the ar
mOrV all day. 4 small detachment
was sent out, but behaved very badly
/ and affiliated with the rioters. As
soon as this became known the doors
of the armory were locked and
barred.

At the TOmbs this morning the

separately examined, and when the
party had committed no overt act and
no weapon had been found on him,

discharged. In all other cases where
weapons were found upon their per-

ers. He remarked that most of these
men were ignorant and poor, and that
for week past they had been melted
by certain class to create this riot,
and when they got into trouble
their leaders deserted them; 80, under
the circumstances, he felt it to be his
duty to offer his services. Most of the /
prisoners who were discharged were
severely reprimanded by the Justice,
| who cautioned them not hereafter to
listen to their so.ealIed leaders, who
evidently care nothing for them, and
only used them for their own pur-
poses. Not one, he said, was present |
there to-day, but If 80 many pick |
pockets had been arrested the court |
would have been attended by any
number of counsel.
WHAT GOVERNOR HOFFMAN SAID.
Governor Hoffman, yesterday made |
| the following statement to reporter:
g become thoroughly satisfied that j
it was necessary, not only for the /
present but for the future, that what
ever laWless element there was in the /
city of New York should be made to /
understand at once and finally, there i
was force enough in the city, military
and civil, to assert the power Of the
authorities of law and preserve peace
and order, and to protect the lives
and property of the people; I de-
tremined, therefore, to issue
proclamation at once that pro-
cessiOns and assemblages for any
lawful purpose should be permitted, /
and would be protected to the full ex-
tent of the law, as far as the civil and
military power at my command
would be sufficient. There is no safety
for the citizen, whether he be poor
or rich, foreign or natiye-born Protest
ant or Catholic, or for his wife and
children, except in the maintenance of
order under the authority of the law
at all times, and the people, what
ever may be their nationality, or their
religion, or whateszer may be
their sympathy, will be sure
to see that 1t was their
common duty to sustain the
authorities in preserving order at all
hazards. This is not a question of to-
days procession, but it Is a question
which applies to all future gatherings.
Men who choose to assemble for any
purpose, personal, religious or pOliti-
cal, who do not threaten to interfere
with the rights Of persons or property
of others, have the right to do
so, and they must not be inter
ferred with, and under all cir
cumstances and at all hazards
they must and shall be protected
by the civil and military authorities
in the assertion and maintenance of
their principles. Men of all parties
and of all creeds have an equal inter-
est in the attempt to make the issue
to day. One OF religion or politics is
wicked, mischievous and malicious,
and every good citizen, whatever may
be his creed or his politics, is bound
to sustain the authorities in their de-
termination to preserve peace and
order and to vindicate the law.
HEART-RENDING SCENES.
At the Morgue this morning the
crowd was allowed to pass around the
bodies of those killed in the riot yes

any Of the dead men as their friends.
About seven thousand people must
have passed before twelve O'Clock.
