in the terrible defeat Of the Irish forces.
Almost two hundred years have elapsed
since this distinguished battle, yet the
bitter traditions have been handed down
to our times. The subjects fGreat Brit
ain in this aud other countries who are
Protestants have formed permanent organ
izations under the name Of Orangemen. A
demonstration of this organization during
the past week in New York, which was
opposed by the Ilibernians or Catholic
Irish, has led to the bloody scenes norrat-
ed in our columns.
THE NEW YORK MOB.
New IIork has been the theatre of a
most disgraceful AID blood riot the past
week. Last year while the Orangemen
were celebrating on the II of July by a
public procession, they were attacked by
party of Hibernians and few of their
number were killed and others wounded.
This year as the II of July approached,
the Orangemen made extensive prepare
tions to celebrate the day with process
sion in the streets of New York and
petitioned Mr.. Kelso the superintendent
! of the police to protect them. The Hi
bernians were loud in their threats to
attack the Orangemen ifthey should at.
tempt to celebrate by procession, and
it was evident that bloody contest was
near. Superintendent Kelso, having con.
suited Mayor Hall, on the 10th issued an
order forbidding the Orangemen to par.
ade on the 10Th. This filled the Hiber.
mans with rejoicing, and they, consider.
ing themselves masters Of the situation
were aroused to high degree of excite
ment and resolved to attack the Orange
men in their places Of toll, if they aban
doned their undertaking. Meanwhile
Supt. Kelso and Mayor Hall had ordered
large number of police and severa
/, regiments of soldiers to quell any distur
/, Dances that might occur.
In the afternoon of Tuesday IL, Gov
Hoffman learned of the order of Kelst
! forbidding the parade of the Orangemen
and Immediately ordered special trail
> and left Albany for Few York. On hi
arrival, he held consultations with Kels,
! and issued proclamation, revoking tn,
! order of Supt. Kelso and pledging pro
lection to the Orangemen.
Superintendent Kelso Immediately re
> voked his obnoxious order, and gave tn
: Orangemen full notice that they SHOULD
l be protected by the civil and militar,
Z forces of the State if they desired t.
> parade.
