NEW YORK, July IS.
People have not ceased yet to talk about
the riots. Probably they would pass out Of
mind like all other nine days. wonders, lift
were not for theefforts of the partisan press
to keep the subject before the public The
Radical paperssee good chance to make
lparty capital, and therefore abuse the Cover
nor. the city authorities and the Democracy,
with impartial Industry. A very bitter quarrel Is
springlng up between the Irish Democrats on
the one side and the American born and Ger
man Democrats on the other, relative TO tne
responsibility Of Governor. Hoffman for the
slaughter of Wednesday. The Irlshmen hold
| that Mayor Hall was right In forbiddlng the
Orangemen to parade; that if his order had
been carried out there would have been'no
procession, and consequently no riot and
bloodshed. and that Governor Hoffman in re-
| yoking the order and promising protection to
the Orangemen, infamed the passions OF those
] who!hated the Orangemen, and made the rlot
and bioodshed possible. g-,.s <,-----..
i The feeling against the Goyernorls extreme
Ily ylrulent. Meetings of Irish citizens are
| being held In all the wards. for the express
| purpose of denounelng him. Fhe following
pithy resolutions, adopted last night In the
Fourteenth Ward, dre sample Of all OF
them:
Resolued, That, while deplorlng the melan-
choly consequences brought ABOUT oy tne late
| party riots, we utter ir as our solemn c2nylc-
| rIdA that to Governor Hoffman ts mai1 que
the blood thai was shed on July IL, methe
Reso,ved. That had he, as he was bound to
have done, put al Top to the Orange demon
stration, peace and quietness would have
relgned, and the innocent would mol nsVe
suffered with the guilty.
Resolued, That we denoance the conduct OF
the militia as COW rrdly, and nothing but
WantoIi s1crifce OF life upon thelr part.
Resolued, That we withhold, in future, our
political support from Governor Hoffman,
| should he ever claim our suffrage.
Tue Hibernian societies In New York. and
brooklyn are alsO pnseih6 outr ~, -
lutions. The Fenian Brotherhood, on Friday
nIght. took the same position. The officers OF
the Irish Brigade, an association OF veterans
of the late civil war, have appointed commit
tee to make preparations for monster anu,
Hoffman mass; meeting The Irish anf
Irish-American newspal "rs are not, no. De, S,
the Governor. The World by Implication, and
the Star directly, place the responsibility lor
the riots oa him. The purely Irish papers, Ike
ihe Irish People, the Irish World and Saint
Peter, are furious. The former reads It's
leading article: '.Is John T.: HofE :sn, GOV,
ernor OF the State OF New YORK, mnTderer!"
the murderer" are the words on huge ,pla-
card posted on the street fences and show
boards. The anger Of the irish press against
the, military Is no less pronounced: One OF
The papers, before mentioned, repeats between
every paragraph In Its columns these Illness
spray Tor the souls Of the people murdered by
the military on the l2tn OF July. 80
It must not be supposed that this torrent OF
lnveclive excites ne feeling on the other SIDE.
/ The Herald and Sun arei perhaps, just Al pres
ent, the leading exponents or the sentiments
OF the American Democrats. me German
Democratic papers speak for their people.
They stand by the Governor, anu saiOgiss scs sne
to be indignant that 'any foreign element
should presume to dictate how an American
eity CITY should be governed"-Q quote the
language of morning paper.) II an anti
Hoffman mass meeting comes on, unooupteo-
ly there will be meeting Of the Governors
friends called. 80 the quarrel goes on, anu
the Radicals are striving to. make the most
OF 1t. ..s...., r.e
man az q Presidential candidate Is unquestlon-
ablv laid on the shelf orthe present. The
Irish vote would defeat him In this city. WITH
out the city the Democrats could not carry the
I biy lose psI the nation. still Hoffman is very
popular with the rural Democracy Of this State,
and his recent course has. probably pleased
many Republicans. But for the sake Of har-'
mony in the party ranks suspect ne VIII be
sacrificed, and perhaps will not hlmseii op)ect
to be the scapegOat. i have no Idea tnat tne
present quarrels wilthave any permaneaI a. ei.
feet on the party strength Before the great
oyershadowiug question, 4 o year hence, whether
Grants administration shall be continued In!
power four years more, these petty local diff

1t Is worthy of notice that sipce the firing
| on the mob last week the City OF New York
has been remarkably quiet. The police report
that there has not been time fol. years when
| the city has been 80 free Of murders, ro0Derles
and other crimes. Whether or not innocent
people were slaughtered by the soldiers, lt is;
certain that the dangerous classes were stun.
ned with fright. This comatose state. ls, OIL
course, only temporary. Everybody expresses
| admiration for the police. They are the'only
pariiclpantsin In the riots who have come out Of
| Them Without making enemies. The police
commissioners, in Difference to the sentiments
Of the community, have ISSUED an order that
| The members of the force, In squads OF one
hundred at time, shall each enjoy three days
leave of absence with pay.
The midsummer dullness is making havoc
with business In Wall street and at the thea.
| tres. On the stock exchange transactions are
30 few at times that It Is impossible TO obtain
quotations. Ninety per cent. Of brokers and
hundred per cent. Of outside spectators
have gone from town. The gold room has the
same deserted appearance. A knot OF ! not lot
more than dozen weary looking young men
stand in the centre of the room discussing
the races or the riots, and occasionally some
one sings out, "Well, how much is bid ;" which
elicits no response. The board could make a
better show at Long Branch, Saratoga or New
port, or even at Sharon Springs, than In its
4 own home In Broad street..
