The New York Riots.

The supremacy of law and order over mob
dlctation was established in New York vester-
Gay, but At the cost of many lives. In conse-
qutnee q the vacillating action Of the New York
authorities the Orangemen did not turn out in
large force One New York paper estimates the
N mheT in procession at not more than one hum
urco; not more than were killed and wounded
in the fighting to defend their right to parade
Governor HOffman's final action is applauded.
but he is eensured for not having set his foot
down scorer. Had he and the city authorities
made positive announcement in the outset
that the law must be maintained, it is certain
that there would have been no riot.
The militia not only came squarely up to the
mark, but the police force, largely composed of
lrlsh Catholics, seem with two or three excep-
tions, to have performed their duty most faith
fully and zealously.
One result Of the attempt to put down the
Orangemen by mob law has been, as appeared
IN our dispatches of yesterday, to revive the pro-
scriptiye Know Nothing organization. Thus
one wrong begets another; and had mob law
reigned supreme in New York yesterday, there
can be no doubt that the excited feeling created
throughout the country would have caused some
Protestant or Native American organization
10 spring into existence almost with the
suddenness and of the threatening proportions
OF the old Know Nothing organization. But the
mob spirit in New York having been suppressed
this excited feeling will doubtless subside with,
out the generation of cOunter-organizations of
the kind named; a relief for which we ought to
be duly thankful. In fact we can get along very
well in this country without Ribbonmen,
Orangemen, or Know Nothings.

When the whistles blew for the dinner hour
thrOngs OF laborers ceased working along the
wharfs and on unfinished building, and boldly
announced that they had ''quit'f for the day.
Many employers stroye to reason with their
workmen, but remonstrance was useless, and in
many instances the "bosses" were accused of
with murder.
Large numbers of quarrymen employed in the
18th ward made their appearance at the quarries
this morning, but instead Of resuming work,
consulted together, and Immediately afterwards
broke up into squads and hurried down town. 1t
became apparent from their actions that they
had received orders from the different societies
to which they belonged, with reference to the
part they were toperform in to-day's operations.
INCIDENTS.
Constitution Hall, on Sd avenue, was thronged
this morning with an i'll looking gang of men,
who had crowded there in pursuance of a cali
for the formation of target company. The
volunteers came generally in pairs and quietly
entered the hall from a side entrance.
Ii is understood that arms were furnished TO
all applicants, and verbal instructions given in
relation to the proposed attack upon the Orange
men. The proclamation of Governor Hoffman
called down maledictions upon his head from
those present, and if a ballot had been taken the
Governor would have found few supporters.
A body of men, numbering over two hundred,
marched up 10th avenue this afternoon. 1t was
noticed that most of these individuals walked as
though they had bludgeons concealed under
their coats. A bystander innocently asked
where the crowd was going. "tOh, !" replied a
brawny Irishman, "we're only bound ON a pic
mic" In answer to a question to where the
festivities would take place, the same person
answered: "'Shure an its down to Orange
Grove. We expect to get a tug soon." This re-
mark was greeted with loud lau ghter by the rest,
and few minutes the entire crowd crossed over
to eth avenue, and moved up TO swell the inn
mensed mob surrounding the headquarters of
the OTangemen.
AT this time it seemed as If the force of police
