QUIET RESTORED.
NEW YORK, July I5.-Never
during the last twenty years, has New
York been more free from disorder o
all kinds than during the last twOdays
The terrible events OF last Wednesday
have taught the mob a lesson tha'
does not seem likely to be soon for
gotten. The circumstances and Incl
dents Of the riot continue to be the
absorbing subject of conversation, and
many additional details OF interest art
given.
RESOLUTIONS OF POLICEMEN.
The resolutions passed by Captain
Joseph II. Pelly and the Thirteenth
precinct police, denOuncing the Eigh-
ty-fOurth regiment for having fired
without cause, meets with univei sal
condemnation throughout the depart
ment. 1t is the opinion of every Off
Ger of rank with whom the reporter
he's cOnVer5f / that the firing of the
military could have been avoided but
few moments longer. The crowd
Wss pressing on the police and mill
tary, and each moment missiles and
shots were coming f9ster and faster
from house tops and the mob in the
streets That the soldiers refrained
from firing as long as they did speak 5
well for their discipline and cOOlness.
Inspectors Walling and JamisOn,
Captains Caffrey, Burden, jeremiah,
Petty, D(camp, Hulma and Others,
who were engaged, are unanimous in
asserting that the military would have
been compelled to open fire within a
very few moments, and had general
vOlle7 been fire d the loss OF life would
have been very much greater. Pres
ident Smith and other commissioners
are indignant at the conduct Of Cap
tain Pelly, and charges have been
preferred against him, sergeant VIM.
Quinn and rOundsman John w. Polk,
who signed the resolutions.
THE FUNERALS TODAY.
Arrangements were made yesterday
by the officers of the Ninth regiment
for funeral service for their late COM
rades. Four companies of the Sew
enth, First and Thirteenth regiments,
of Brooklyn, will also participate In
the funeral service.
1t appears, by publication of the
letter, that under date OF August 4,
1870, Mayor Hall sent letter to Su-
perintendent JOurdan, advising the
suppression of the proposed Orange
parade of that period; of his taking
substantially the ground on which the
Order of Fifty-seVen has been based.
All the bodies at the Morgue, ex-
cept one, have been identified.
The total number of killed thus far
reported is fifty-siX, five additional
deaths having occurred since Thurs
day night.

NEW YORK, July 15.-S1me of the

$4,000.

A MOVING ARSENAL.
The Mail says, in regard to the riot,
that all the talk about innocent and
peaceful spectators is nonsense. The
Police Commissioners have at head
quarters nearly two hundred butcher
knives and reVolvers taken from sew
enty men arrested during the riot. A
Hibernian had three immense pistols
slowed away in his pockets, and an
other had a knife foot and half in
length concealed in his coat sleeve.
These arms were borne by men in
crowds alongside of the procession,
and are sufficient proof that the riot
ers were determined to kill as many
as they could.
