uion of affairs in Ireland which concludes rs follows
II lfish feuds are as mplacabe In America IA they are

THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE RIOTS.
Prom TIE ChoGqO Ercaj1J Poet
The responsibility will be justly chargeable,
spite of the rebuIes commands and denuncations OF
their clergy allow themselves to be swayed by ther
wretched traditions in opposition TO American law
second Democracy OF the city, notably to Mayor
Hall and Tammauy whose tool he S for the eXhDltlOn OF
they have pretended deprecate II Is idle to tamper
with rioters and fatal to DO controlled by them They
should summariy be suppressed If costs thousands OF
lives Political have long pampered with
the rabbe in that city that neither life nor property Is
secure
TAMMANY's ATTEMPT TO ESTABLISH A WICKED
TYRANNY.
from T1s BHggb t0uanerc1t ffrernser
The law must protect any and all who are
annoyed AT the principles or embems OF in the
procession are Obliged to come in their way To en-
molestation would be to establish wicked tyranny in
the heart OF free country The mob attempted suGn
the metropolis would been given over to the con
troll Of mob As 1t Is, the rioters have been made TO
feel the laws power and 10 learn that America Is not Je
under reign Of terrorism.
THE AUTHORITIES WHOLLY RESPONSIBLE.
The Pitsbargh Dispatch.
The excitement this year was intensified by
the unfortunate action of the authorities. Supernter
dent Kelso without color OF law issued proclamation
forhiddng tbe procession 10 take place This intensified
the determination Of the Orangemen 10 turn out and
Titated them greaty-they regarding the Superlnten
dent having acted under the influence OF the Catholic
ton permitting the procession lrrtaed the other elc
ment and intensified their purpose to break up the pro
cessiOn at any Thus the conflicting action Of tine
authorities rendered the excitement more intense and
destroyed all possibility Of alaying the trouble.
THE VAIN TRICK OF HOFFMAN.
From Thl Clr'HBGn CAT0npic
Gov. Hoffman, with an eye sharply set on the
Presidency appears the and orders change Of
the last moment The puSlanmity Of the whole
combined performance OF KelsO, Hail. and Hoffman
passes what could have believed possible for
Tammany If the great power Of the City of NewYork
backed by the state authorities and aided by United
States troops cannot secure TO the Irish PrOesants OF
tnat city tie exercise Of the rights in which tho
celebration must be suppressed because few Hibernian
societies threaten to attack the peaceful procession
its march, and because Roman Catholic Archbishop
authores-it is high time for the American people to
have that fact definitely ascerained.
WHAT SURRENDER TO THE MOB REALLY MEANT.
From TIE Dilo-rIt.
To admit that threats of Il riot in the event
OF procession impose duty OF preventing the riot by
prohibiting the procession instead Of by failing shoot
ing the rioters is to admit the loss OF liberty and the fail
ure Of government The question i one of ncacuable

city in the country and cannot he settled safely TIL set

violence by other societies IN case OF paradng IN public
The parading is prohibited. When some weeks or
months have passed, those threatening societies will
propose parade There may may not be threats made
against them if they do 50. Will they resign their right
of parade Can they exercise 1t without peru OF attack

TAMMANY's DILEMMA.
From ne NeC-HareA Courfer
Three times in the course of Its article, The
World emphasizes the point that II the city authorities
actually consulted the Governor, and received his ap
proyal In advance of the action taken, then he alone
responsible Tor the result, Of the ntmcly change In the
programme. We have manner Of doubt that the
course of Mayor Hall adopted after full consultation
with The maagcr of his party. Nor doubt that
the course me Worid in anticipation and in support
of that plan the result OF such cOnsulduon ana
that of Superintendent keo under his advice was the
course be pursued. World reporter found HIM
quite while the riot was In progress ana IN the
mood quoting old PLAYS and otherwise witthy
defending his position. He declared that he mad
been ovcrruled by his associates" and his supe
ror in Office but remained of the same opinion still
The Tammauy leaders found that in surIendering to the
behests of the rOughs upon whom they largely de-
pend for votes and mdjOTites they had Oensc 10
ihe whole body OF lawabding citizens-that the mer
dignaut that the element which noted the city in
had proved itself strong enough to parayze the po
lice aud dictate the OF the city authOrtesthey
summoned Hoffman TO the city, aud 10 him, the man
they had created tommi the task extrcatng them
that in settling The responsibility for the bood,hed on
Wednesday, shall receive some very pretty reyela
tons OF inside Tamuauy history.
TIE LAST DEMOCRATIC REVOLT.
from The D,troi POST
As the anti-draft not of 1868 in New-York
encouraged and brought on by the il-advised man
agcment the NewYOrk Democratic politicians,
the riOtng OF yesterday That the mob directly
encouraged by the he station. the cowarlice, and the
surrender of the city authorities 10 their dication Is
probable be past dispute. II the Governor had Is
sued his commendabe proclamation three or four days
earlier, and If the city authorities had been firm and
decided from the beginning, announcing at the very
outset Of this miserable business that the rights Of
orderly procession would be sterny and
effectively maintained, and all rioters summariy
dispersed and punished there is good 10 believe
that the day would have been quiet and peaceabe How
could they believe that the police would be- In in
ihortes had proclaimed procession had no light

backing and filling pditering ana doubedeang policy
with the mob the very way encourage riot; and
the Tammany politicians cannot escape the guilt OF yes
terday disturbances the Democratic party its share
of ObOquy for having, for past, petted nduged

assaed the public peace IN July lSGj ald again in july
TAMMANY's BLOODY HANDS
From UtiaiHg0n (Dcil Commercial
In the first place, the Tammany officials,
who rule and pluudcr Ncw-York, gained their places
and have held Them by sympathy with the mobs OF that
yicousness. They have grown fat the public spois
and have been supported In each fresh thct by the de
teced. And now these classes, by this treatment
grown defiant and bold, have plunged the city
into disorder riot. and bOOdshed The cords OF
sympathy between the outlaws of this most out
lawed city and It's officials and the encouragement they
have had in their wckedness, the why the
riots projected Tammanys corruptOns bred the
purpose of violence And when the mob spirit was
reused yacillatons the City Government in the
face OF threats, produced the actual outbreaks Tam
many's weakness developed the acts of violence. Was
strange that with such officials 10 preserve its peace
New York was a battle ground yesterday
