II T. y.
ter OF the Orangemen in America, has all along
been opposed to the parade that was to have
taken place tomorrow, but that the various
lodges opposed him in this view. He said yes
tCrday 81 am strongly opposed to the public
demonstration. | think it bad policy for the
Orangemen to turn out on the 18th. | know,
because | have been well informed, that there
are between six and seven thousand Catholics
under arms, and that they will oppose the dis
play. | know this, however, that the Orange
men are prepared, and that if attacked they will
stand their ground, and will not show the white
feather. The Orangemen did not intend to hold
any picnic tomorrow; they intended TO parade,
after which they were TO retire to their various
lodges, of which there are seventeen in this city,
and then disperse"
Notwithstanding the order of the superinten-
dent of police in this city, trouble is considered
Imminent, and extraordinary precautions are
being taken to quell any disturbance that may
arise. Judge Hilton, representing the park
commissioners, issued an order yesterday fore
noon, directed to the foreman of all the gangs
of laborers employed by the commissioners, ill.,
structing them not to excuse any workman from
labor tomorrow unless reasonable cause could
be shown. Any workman absent tomorrow
will be Immediately dismissed unless he pre-
sents an excuse satisfactory to the park COM
missioners.
The police of this city are still confident that
the Orange parade will take place tomorrow,
and a force of reserves will assemble at the
central Office at six A. NJ, and will, upon the
first notice of outbreak, be transferred by stage
to the scene of disturbance. The ordinance and
sanitary police, and the detective force will all
be used MS reserved force. The available force
will not exceed 100 men. Every man will carry
revolver, and supply of other arms was re-
ceived at headquarters to-day Capt. Wilson's
mounted police, one hundred men, will be on
duty for any emergency, with revolvers and
sabres. The whole surgical force of the police
department is ordered on duty at six A. NJ. to-
morrow.
Ii is understood in police circles that the bur-
glars and hghwaymen OF the city have formed
combination to make Simultaneous raid on
the iewelry and dry goods stores during the con-
centration of the police at the place OF riot. In
formation has been received that large num-
Der of thieves are fiocking to this city from 9th
err cities, in hopes of obtaining plumber if the
riot occurs. Mayor Hall and Keso have been
in communication with Major General Shaler,
with respect to the necessity for military force
TO aid the police, and shortly after noon to-day,
Gen. Shaler issued orders to number of reg-
ments, ordering them to rendezvous tomorrow
at their respective armOries for the preservation
OF the public peace. Gen. Shaler, when visited
this afternoon, declined TO say how many troops
would be under arms, but said that he had been
careful to call out a sufficient number to meet
any emergency. Col. Emmons Clark, of the
seventh regiment, has ordered his regiment to
assemble at their armory, in fatigue dress, to-
morrow, at M. 1t is reported that other reg
iments have been ordered out

tons condemnatory of the action of Supern-

street, near Mott, and three streets from Hiher-

Major General Shaer commanding, will be at
the police headquarters in Geographic commune
cation with all sections of the city and the
armorieS. Troops have been detailed to guard the
wires. Heavy reserves of police can be rapidly
moved to any part of the city. The feeling
against the authorities for issuing an order for
bidding the Orange procession is intense.
At late hour tonight Orangemen and mem
bers Of the American Protestant association,
although intensely indignant, resolved to obey
the police order, and postpone their parade
until a more suspicious time

The constitution Of the state of New Jersey
enumerates, among other rights and privileges
that the people have the right to freely assemble
together. 1t also proclaims that no person shall
be denied the enjoyment of any civil right,
merely on account of his religious privileges.
1t also makes the governor of the state COM
mander-in-chief of the military and naval forces
of the state, and, under his oath of Office makes
it his duty TO promote peace and prosperity, and
maintain the rights of the state.
Now, it having come to my knowledge that a
body of the inhabitants of this state, in con-
formity to a custom among them, and in conso-
nance with the customs of other bodies and So
cieties of the inhabitants of this state, propose
to celebrate what, TO them, is deemed an ami
versary day; and, 1t having come to my knowl-
edge that interference with this contemplated
celebration may possibly take place, by reason
of which n serious disturbance of the peace of
this state would ensue; now, therefore,
l. Theodore f. Randolph, governor Of the
state of New Jersey, do hereby proclaim, that
both the letter and the spirit of the constitution
of our state of New Jersey, as well as the long
established custom of our people, do permit and
protect all peaceful gatherings OF the inhab-
