A SPECIAL to the Boston journal says that
Mayor Hall has been interviewed by a person.
al friend in relation to the riots. Mayor Hall
said that he anticipated the disturbances and
determined to prevent them by counseling the
Orangemen not to parade. He felt assured
that the sad events of Wednesday showed that
his apprehensions were correct, and he felt that
he had not the blood of the slain or the wound
ed on his head.
The Mayor abstained from commenting up
on Gov. Hoffman's proclamation, except by
stating that he thought it ill-advsed under the
circumstances.
1t is rumored to-day that Mayor Hall had
consulted with Gov Hoffman on Monday in
reference to the Orange parade, and that the
Governor agreed at once with the Mayor, that
it would be better to forbid it. The Mayor, it
seems, informed the Governor that peace could
only be secured by persuadDg the Orangemen
not to march, or by preventing all parades on
the 18th.
A reporter has been assured by prominent
magnate of Tammany that the Governor only
changed his mind when he found the whole
| public dead set against Kelso's order, and then
| he followed the example set by Governor Ran.
dolph of New Jersey.
The intimate poll dcal and social relations ex.

| to become a scapegoat for the former, and t.
| keep the secret to himself.
