1t is impossible for any disturbance to oc-
cur, so perfect are the arrangements made
| by the authorities 10 quell any riot. With
the large extra force of police, the military
and cannon stationed ct different points
along the line, it would be folly for any
number of men to begin fuss.
At this hour, 9 A. NJ, all is quiet, and
there is sn assured feeling that the peace
will not be disturbed. The militia is ready
under arms, and the police fully instructed
what to do in any case. The appliances Of
the police electric telegraph bring the whole
city s breadth within the reach OF one ruling
arm at the police headquarters, and all are
at Gov. Hofman's biddIng.
Everything promises g serene and peace
ful day, and if the Orangemen choose to
parade, there seems to be no reasonable
doubt but they will parade undisturbed.
