The morning dispatches give the further
particulars relative to the conflict between the
"Orange and Green" Much surprise and
very deep feeling is felt in all circles, at the
order of Superintendent Kelso forbding the
parade of the Orangemen. The citizens gen.
orally regard it as a surrender to the mob. Inc
Orangemen are sullen and dissatisfied, while
their enemies feel that they are already mas
tiers OF the situation. The few outside OF the
notice force to whom the order and the policy
it embodies became known last night, were al
most unanimous in announcing it as a COW.
ardly surrender, and it was confidently antici-
pated that public opinion would strongly dis
approve OF this concession to the lawles threats
of men who are condemned alike by their re-
ligious teachers and their intelligent political
leaders.
1t appears that the Mayor, Superintendent
Kelso, Major General Smaller, and others in
authority, were in consultation during most of
the day and the final result of their delibera-
tions was embodied in the orders issued.
On the 9th inst, Mayor Hall addressed let
ter to the Grand Master of the Orangemen in
this city, embOdying the sentiments subse-
quently incorporated in the order of Superin-
tendent KelsO, and suggesting that the Grand
Master would interfere to dispense with the
parade As no reply was received an the in
stration grew more and more threatening, the
Mayor finally determined to prohibit the par
ade by other means.
There is no doubt that the Orangemen of
Jersey City are determined to parade, and the
greatest alarm exists in consequence among
the citizens, who are apprehensive for the safe
ty OF their persons and property. ai.n

1t appears that Mr.. John J. Boyd, Grand
Master of the Orangemen in America, has all
along been opposed to the parade that was to
have taken place to day, but the various lodges
opposed him in his view. He said yesterday:
