THE FLiCuT OF TAMMANY.

Under this caption, referring to the re-
cent New York troubles, the Buffalo ET-
press of Thursday of last week says: "The
anticipated conflict between the Orange
men and the Catholic mob of New York
on yesterday, created n tremendous
skcdadling among the Big 1nguns of the
Tammany chiefs, who are supposed to be
accountable for the disgraceful and I'M
prcccdGnted surrender TO the demands of a
lawlcss gang of Irishmen who threatened
to'attack and demolish peaceable citizens
in quiet cclcbretion Of one of their long
observed holidays. Having listened to the
aprtals of n bigotcd religious faction to
prevent the parade, and the threats of vio-
lencc if they permitted it, they shamcfully
and UNANIMOUSLY yielded to the demand and
then cowardly fled the city to escape the
righteous vengeance of an outraged people,
that was imminent, and which they must
have been aware they justly merited.
The New York Herald, which by the
way has ftly denounced this whole pro-
cceding to interfere with the Orangemcn
celebration, and in whitening and sarcas-
tic language rcprimanded the authors and
abettors of this dastardly covering to the
Catholic mob, mentions the fact of these
departures in n series of special notices,
which may, and may not, be gratuitous.
We give the friends of the missing indivi-
duals the benefit of an insertion in our
columns, rs some of these frightened cow
ards may be skulking in this community ::
TAMMANY's "NEw DEpARTURE.''--
Departing from the field of battle before the
enemy fires.
"What are the wild waves saving" to
Peter B. Swecny at long Branch ,
Nor REGISTERED IN NEW YORK;
Big Judge Connolly, tie Register, was last
seen on the road to Saratoga. where he is
, expected to arrive on the 18th inst.
/ Brennan, Connolly, Swceny and Tweed
are all out of town trying TO invent some
means of "iumping'' on the 18th of July.
They can all return now. Kclso has set
tied it.
/ Straycd or stolen from the premises, the
/ experienced accountant, Dick Connolly
/ (tOrmerly called 'SIippcry Dick"). Any
person, be he orange or lemon, who will
return him to his owner 1.-THE city govern
mcnt) will be handsomely rewarded.
STRAYED FROM IloME.-The honorable
Boss Tweed, for q long tme an inhabitant
Of this town. Can be recognized by big
bull's-eye diamond on his shirt front. ANY
good citizen who will bring him back will
be suitably rewarded for his trouble by the
people and at some future day be elected
an alderman.
INFORMATION WANTED. OF the where
. ol nf -,
Police Commissioner of this city. lie was
elected sheriff some time ago. His deputies
are anxious, and would be glad to hear
from him. Any information as to hi'
present abiding place will be thankfully
received at the New Court House.
And of those who did not run at tho
anticipated smell of powder and the sigh
of Orangcmcn blood The Herald says:
:, OK DECK.-We do not advertise fo
Judge Cunning s. Bedford, Jr., or 70
Recorder John +. llackett, for they are OF
hand ready to punish all violators of th
law, as Recorder Hoffman did in 1868.
OF Superintendent kclso, who seems t,
have played 4 very conspicuous part in thi
but only as the tool and stool pigeon of hi
master, OF course, the Herald adds:
Superintendent Kelso might have made
Won Mollke of himsefif be had shown the
backbone of that fine old Prussian. But h.
plays the role Of Louis Napoleon instead
and declining TO die at the head of hi
army, lays his sword at the feet of the enc
my.
The whole affair seems to have been mos
bunglngly managcd by these New Yor
officials, if they sincerely desired to pre-
serve the peace only, and the proceeding
disclose an unwilngncss to give onense t
few thousand ignorant Irish Catholics
whose good will and opinion were of NOR
consequence than the defense and main'c
nance Of the rights Of American citizens t
celebrate customary holiday.
