There seems to be very unfortunate mud
die over the conduct of few of the militia
regiments that took part in the suppression Of
the riots. Among other things not creditabe
1t is said that the men fred without waiting
for orders from their commanding officers, and
that some Of the slaughter that resulted was
unnecessary and inexcusable. Bearing on
these points we print elsewhere the statements
of some police officers, charging gross care
lessness and unsoldierly conduct upon the
Eighty-fourth regiment in particular. We
sly this ia very unfortunate, for we fad
30 much cause for congratulation in the prompt
crushing out Of the riotous element in our
midst that We regret there should be any
cause for complaint against the men to whom
the principal credit has been awarded. But
II these stories and complaints have any solid
foundation to rest upon they should be investi-
gated immediately, and the truth exposed.
Discipline is one Of those qualities that cannot
be overestimated in soldiery, whether regular
or militia. 1t is the quality Of all others that
makes good soldier; for without it courage
and determination are practically useless
nay worse, even dangerous. II Is evident,
then, that il the charge that the soldiers fred
into the crowd without proper orders be true,
o serious breach Of discipline has been CON-
mtted, which ought not to be overlooked.

The Strength Of Republican Government.
Monarchists and the aristocratic ruling
classes of Europe are in the habit of depre-
eating republican institutions and government
as weak, unstable and insufficient to preserve
order and protect property. This assumption,
too, is generally the basis of the arguments Of
European writer's against republics. We have
given an ample refutation to this assumption
throughout the history of this republic. On
Wednesday we gave in this city of New York
q remarkable example of the strength Of re-
publican government by the suppression of the
riot and maintenance Of the equal privileges
Of all classes In this city We have larger
turbulent class than in almost any other place,
composed of foreigners for the most part,
who have not learned to understand well our
institutions, and many of whom are refugees
from Europe for having been concerned
in disorders there. Yet when they arrayed
themselves against the government and peace of
the city the authorities, without standing
army and q comparatively small police force,
effcctually squelched the rioters. This turbu-
lent element assumed to be the power of New
York, claimed and boosted, in fact, that the city
belonged to them, and thought it could ride
rough shod over whomsoever it pleased. But
the militia-our citizen soldiery-and COM
paratively small body of police, backed by pub
lie sentiment, indicated the supremacy of law
and order, and proved that, without stand
ing army or the aid Of the federal authorities,
our local republican government was strong
enough for the occasion. So it has always
cen. If the riot had been much more for
midable the result would have been the same;
for there were ample power and resources
not called forth which the government could
have promptly invoked. Then what monarchi-
cal government ever suppressed more gigan-
tic rebellion or maintained its authority under
more trying circumstances than the federal
government did In the late war with the
Southi The truth Is, well-estabished repub-
lie like ours is the strongest sort Of government
because 1t rests upon the public sentiment of
the conservative masses, and can call forth its
defenders at any time from all the avocations
of civil lfe The people make the laws them
selves, and will see that they are executed in
times Of peril.

TIE city Quisi:

The effects OF the riots Of Wednesday are
rapidly disappearing from tho streets. The
neighborhood Of the principal scene Of dlsas-
ter Is still thronged with morbid sightseers,
who interest themselves in viewing the places
where bullets struck and where the victims
fell, and In scanning the ''gouts Of blood" that
still sprinkle the walls and sidewalks. Dis
tressed throngs, seeking for absent friends,
timidly venture into the dismal precincts Of tho
Morgue and eagerly seek admission to the
various hospitals, but otherwise the city Is
entirely free from visible reminders Of the
fray. The conversation among all parties
turns upou tho events Of the day, however,
and opinions are a. plenty a. blackberrles
regarding the right and wrong Of the parade
and the action Of the troops In firing upon
the rioters. On one subject alone everybody
seems TO be unanimous, and that 10 the mag
nificent performance of the police.
The prisoners captured during the riots
were all brought up before Judge Hogan at
the Tombs yesterday, and though they all
swore to their innocence they were all held for
examination. The list of dead was increased
during the night by the names Of several Of
the seriously wounded, and many others
suffering from severe injuries are expected
to die.

Prince Erie On and or tho Battle Field.
As the public may be somewhat confused
about the story Of Colonel Jim Fisk's adven-
lures on and off the battle field last Wednesday
we think clear statement of them should
be made by himself There is some doubt
as to how and whore he got injured. Had he
been pricked by bayonet, however slightly,
or scratched by bullet there would have
been warlike ring about that, and everybody
would have been satisfied. He would then
have been an undoubted hero and entitled to
q niche In the temple Of fame. But to tumble
down, to be rolled over like a porcupine, to
be hustled in crowd and thus to get his
ankle sprained has something of Fallstaffian
idea in it. To have had his gorgeous diamond
pin punched out by the blow of Hibernian
would have been more Of sensation. A
sprained ankle does not come up to the pune
ture of Achilles heel in heroic sentiment.
Still, with the temptation the irrepressible Jim
always inspires to badinage, we must give him
credit, as well as his gallant regiment for
doing good service. The next time we hope
he will be able to keep on his pins before the
enemy and not have occasion to take special
train to Long Branch before the battle is over.

COLONEL FISK AND THE NINTH REGIMENT
The Loss on Mr.. PAGE.-Colonel Fisks
statement reported to the HERALD from Long
Branch, of bis achievements In the field on
the memorable 18th Of July, 1871, is very
funny but, according to all the evidence on
the subject, he was q good soldier on
that day among the soldiers Of bis brave regi-
ment though he seemed to regard the hostile
forces on the field OF battle as sort OF Irish
optra 6ou6e. The Ninth regiment, in the loss
OF Mr.. Page, late one of the subordinate
officials Of the Grand Opera House, has lost
an amiable and worthy man, whose untimely
cutting of will be widely lamented. But his
death was glorious in the cause of liberty and
law, and his claims in this regard aud bis
memory. we hope. will not be neglected.

up something-to yield portion Of their lib
erty-and to consider the prejudices OF
others. Defiance begets defiance. Let the
Orangemen remember that the strong hand of
our city and State governments was not ex-
tended to them because they are Orangemen
or Professionals, not because there was any
sympathy for them in their ridiculous factious
quarrel with the Ribbonmen. 1t was simply
TO vindicate the equal rights Of oil, and TO
maintain that liberty which is the foundation
of our institutions against mob dictation.
Having been secured and defended In this
right 1t would be well II the Orangemen
would henceforth forego any unnecessary pro-
voking parades.
Let US say word, ALSO to our adop ted
Catholic fellow citizens, particularly to those
from Ireland. We say TO them-and they

American people than religious bigotry or reli

same footing here all are tolerated and pro-
tected. None can claim special privileges.
| The Catholics, above all others, ought to be
| careful not to show intolerance, because there

intolerance, that all other Christians are pro-
scrbed by that Church, and that If 1t had tho
power it would coerce all other sects. We do

bridge Wanted"

Under this caption you presented to your rea-
ders q somewhat non-committal article touch
ing the bridge question-the bridge, l mean,
across the depot leadeng to North Knoxville.
Why did you not take the bull by the horns"
at once for don't doubt that you are really in
favor of the bridge being built? Some may be
opposed to it, but what of that. Must we sur
render a valuable enterprise because few may
interpose objections? Not at all.
That bridge ought to be constructed, and will
be, in my judgement, in a short time. There is
a tide in the march of progress which we can't
stay foolishly as we may act. All that's lack
ing to push forward the matter in question is a
healthy agitation--a strong and vigorous appeal
to the citizens of this city. But few yet under
stand it or know anything of the expenditures
involved Some are of the opinion that it will
take fifty thousand dollars, and that horrifes
them. Why it will not cost half that amount.
A proposition has already been made to build a
superior iron bridge by q competent party for
twenty-five thousand dollars. The same party
has also agreed to put up Howe Truss Bridg e
for fourteen thousand and Beam Bridge for
seven thousand dollars. Is there anything in
this to scare any one?
By the way / am authorized to say that in
six days after the bridge is completed all the re-
quired stock will be secured to put street cars
on Gay street. which will be worth to Knoxville
at the very start fifty thousand dollars
