peaceful gatherings Of the inhabitants
Of this State, irrespective OF religious
| or political creeds, and makes it law
ful and right for any body Of peaceful
citizens to assemble together, and that
right cannot be abridged or intertered
with by any unauthorized body Of
men Of any nationality, creed or re-
! ligiOn, whatever real or supposed
provOcation there may seem to be;
| and I do, therefore, enjoin upon all
good, law-abiding, peaceful citizens OF
this our State Of New Jersey to assist
in every way in preserving the peace,
| good order and dignity Of the same,
| not only by abstinence from
proyocation, but by acts Of liberation,
| fOrbearance at d true manliness. And
l do hereby warn all persons from
| other States who seek, by acts OF pro
vocation, to interfere with the peace
full assembling of inhabitants Of this
/ State, that s1ch an oftense against
the peace and order of the common
wealth will be vigorously punished by
our authorities; and do further en-
Join and command all legally eOnsti-
| tuted authorities Ofthis State to fully
protect all peaceful assemblages of
our inhabitants, using every means at
/ their command to enforce this procla-
nation, assuring all such properly
constituted authorities that If vested
with an insuffieiency of ordinary local
power, then the entire power Of the
State will necessarily be called into
exercise to compel at any cost respect
for and obedience to our laws; and /
do further enjOin upon the members of
the society especially proposing to as
senable together tomorrow, to exercise
utmost patience and discretion in the
presence Of their rights, bearing in
mind that by large portion OF our
feIlOW-citiZens, on this peculiar occa-
sion, their gathering is deemed an un-
necessary renewal of ancient political
and religious feuds, no general inter-
est to the great body of our American
citizens, and that though they are
sustained in their right peacefully
to assemble together, they are by no
means sustained, as l firmly believe,
by any large number of sincerely
patriotic and Christian people in the
expediency of the exercise of that
right.
EVERYTHING GENTLE.
NEW YORK, July l2.-At the hour
of 9 am. everything was gentle. AL
feel assured that the action of Cover
nor Holman has assured peace. The
militia are already under arms, and
the police are fully instructed. Appl
anees to the police electric telegraph
brings the whole city's breadth within
reach of the one ruling arm at police
Headquarters, and all are at the Gov
ernOr's bidding. Everything prOmi-
ses a serene and peaceful day, and if
the Orangemen choose to parade, there
seems to be no reasonable doubt but
that they will parade undisturbed.
IOa.m.-In the vicinity of the pO-
lice Headquarters all is hustle and
excitement. The police, under COM
mand of various captains, assembled
upward of 1900 strong, 300 Of whom
have been ordered to the Twenty
ninth precinct, under command Of
Captain Barrett, and fifty more have
been sent to the Fourth, for the pur-
pose of guarding Harpers' building.
Among the perSOnages who visited
the central Office this morning were
Governor Hoffman, Mayor Hal, ,Sher-
if Brennan, Assistant District AttOr-
ney Fellows, and several other leading
men. There has been no disturbance.
IL a.m.-The Irish Catholic laborers
on the bOulevards have suspended
their work, and are marching down
in a body.
Inspector Jameson, with two hun
dred and fifty men, has been sent up
to FOrty-second street, corner of
Eighth avenue, to intercept them,
The National Guard is out in full
force, each regiment being stationed
at its respective armOry, ready jOr
any DEVELOPMENTS that may arise.
The battery from Castle Garden
Park has gone Up town; another bat
tery of ftwelve-pOunders is now cross
ing from Brooklyn to the east side Of
the city. Ali the marines of the Brook
lyn navy-yard have been placed under
arms.
A HOLIDAY APPEARANCE.
1880 a.m.-The streets in the upper
town districts have the appearance of
a holiday. Groups Of loungers are to
he seen or nearly every corner. Gangs
of men, five and six in number, may
be seen going in the direction of the
western part Of the city. The aspect
of affairs looks very threatening.
The men in the marble and stone
yards along East River nearly all left
their work, it is supposed, for the pUr-
pose of opposing the Orange parade.
m.-RumOrs are rife that riOting
is now going on in the upper part OF
Ninth avenue. The rumOr creates
great excitement down town.
ARMS sEIZED-PRBCAUT OF AU-
THORITIEs.
NEW YORK, July I2.-Several
rifles and a large
of cartridges, four trunks
and several cases containing wearing
apparel and other articles were left
last evening at the House Of the Good
Shepherd, the Roman Catholic re-
formatory institution, on East Eighty
ninth street, by an eXpressman, and
Captain Clinchy being informed Of
the fact took possession OF the proper
ty. It is cOnjectured that it was left
there through mistake and that it
was intended for some of the men
who were TO participate in the attack
to-day. The police heard of arms
being conveyed to various localities
in the city during yesterday. These
are supposed to have been distributed
during the evening to those who are
expected to use them to-day.
The day opened cloudy and sultry.
A dense fog Overhangs the city, at
seven O'Clock. The streets present a
novel appearance, not unlike the days
of the draft riots in 1883. Soldiers In
fatigue uniform are fastening in ev-
cry direction to report for duty at the |
armories of their respective regiments. !
Mounted policemen patrol the streets. !
Heavy squads of police are moving to |
designated points in the city.
Mounted police kept busy all morn
ing conveying orders from one point |
to another. There are about twenty |
stages kept in readiness to convey the |
police to any point as soon as possible. |
The building is nearly filed with re-
pOrters from all the papers. In the |
vicinity OF Hibernia Hall very few |
persons have made their appearance. |
In front of fourteen Spring street an |
efigy of man trimmed with Orange |
colOrs, was suspended to a telegraph |
pole and was cut down by order of
Captain Walch, Of the Sixteenth pre-
cinct.
Extraordinary precautions are be-
ing taken to preserve peace, and the |
appear to be working with
harmony and energy. Printed secret |
containing a plan of the pro-
posed attack on the Orangemen, have
allen into the hands Of the police, and
they have perfect knowledge of their
AT late hour last night,
