sUPERuNTENDENTK KELso's ORDER IN
NEW YORK.

| ana their enemies t6el themselves al
ready masters of the situation. Grea
excitement prevailed in the city al
day yesterday. The movements o
the Catholic societies, .the intentions o
the 0rangemen and the preparation:
Of the police and military were sub
jects of interest. The Mayor, Superin
teBdent KelsO, Major General Shaler
and Others in authority, were in con
sultatiOn during the day, and the fina
result OF their deliberations was EN-
bodied in orders issued by Superin
tendent Kelso late last evening.
IL appears that the Mayor on the
9Th instant wrote communication "a
John J. Bond, Grand Master of the
| Orange order, embOdying the same
| sentiments expressed in Superintend.
ent kelsO's order, and suggested the
| DrOpriety Of dispensing with the in
tended parade and picnic, but as no
reply was received TO the letter and
as indications of riot in the case OF
the Orange demonstration grew more
and more threatening, the Mayor
finally determined to prohibit the
parade. A few outside Of the police
force, to whom this order and theIpOl-
icy il embOdies became known last
night, were almost unanimous in de-
nOunciug it as a cOwardly surrender,
and it was confidently anticipated
that public opinion would strongly
disapprOve of this concession to law
less threats of men who are con-
demned alike by their religious teach
ers and their intelligent political lead
ers.
TEXT OF RELSO's ORDER.
There is reason to believe that the
much dreaded riot consequent on the
Orange parade, projected for next
Wednesday, will not take place. Su-
/ perintendent helsO has this evening
issued orders fOrbidding both the Or
ange procession and the target exeur-
sion of the order OF Hibernia. The
parties comprising the target compa-
nies represent that portion of the
| Irish Catholic element which expires
ses its determination to oppose the
Orange display. Superintendent Kel-
80, in his order, says that he has
been appealed to by the Grand Mas
ter Of the Orange Lodges in the
United States to give police support
10 the celebration by procession
through the principal streets and ave-
nues of New York on the 18th inst,
in honor of the battle of the B0yne,
andthe surrender which was its con-
sequence.
These several commemorative vic
tories on the soil Of Ireland by one
English King over another, cen
turies ago, engendered the national
differences which have descended from
generation to generation with incress-
ing acrimOny, and large body Of citi-
Zens participating in these feelings
form a part Of our country. The Su-
perintendent has been legally advised
that he should not aid any street cele-
bratiOn that involved feuds and ami
mOsities belonging solely to the his
tory Of another country than our own,
and which experience has proved to
endanger the public peace abroad and
at home. 1t is given out that the
cOnspiratOrs have armed for the de-
tense of the parading lodges. Indeed,
it is announced that the procession
appears to have been specially organ
lied beyond the magnitude OF any
previous one, and is emphasized with
the announcements that apparently
eVince the determination to resent, if
not TO aYenge, the events which at
tended lest years celebration, and
some Of its leaders have stated to the
superintendent that they considered
collision Inevitable. II these need
less celebrations should provoke a
general disturbance il would furnish
the opportunity, always sought by
the laWless and dangerous classes of
the community, to participate in it,
and to carry the consequences 80 far
as to endanger the safety of
persons and property. The legal
decisions have settled that the
occupation of the streets by
procession is mere matter of usage
or celebration and always subject to
police regulation and supervision.
The surrender OF thOroughfares to
large organized parties Of men neces-
sarily interleres with the Individual
rights of other citizens, and those thus
engaged are, in the language of the
law, permissible trespassers.' The
federation Of professions by citizens
and the authorities is, perhaps, due to
the fact that street meetings and par
AIDES always represent some senti-
ment or occasion not at all calculated
to provoke hot blood. In every sub
ject matter for police discretionary
permission, the Inconvenience of the
few ought to be surrendered to the
widest security for property and per-
son Of the greatest number of citi-
zens, and at all times the police should
prevent occasions for disorder, rather
than wait to regulate or suppress it.
1t is very clear that if any one indi-
vidual should undertake, by himself,
TO produce an occasion Of violation
and excitement to others in the COM
munity, he would not be, in such act,
entitled to police protection, and sure
ly what may not be done by one indi-
vidual ought not to be attempted by
the organized many, when the aggra-
walton would be 50 much greater.
The order concludes by instructing
the police to disperse all bodies OF
men collecting on Wednesday next
for the purpose Of joining in target
excursions and professions.
THE EXCITEMENT IN JERSEY CITY.
The excitement in Jersey City in re-
gard to the Orange parade and riot
which is expected to follow in its train
is intense. There is no doubt that the
OrangemeL in Jersey City are deter
mined to parade at all hazards, and
the greatest alarm exists in conse-
quence among the citizens, who are
appTehensive for the safety Of their
persons and property. The Hibernians
make no secret OF their determination
to attack the Orangemen, Ia case the
latter should parade. Their prepara-
tiOns for the expected fray are said to
be very complete. The Shamrock, u
society composed Of about four hun
dred Irishmen, met at the Franklin
hall, Warren street, last evening.
Before and Subsequent to the meet
ing, excited groups assembled around,
ali discussing the situation and indul-
ging in threats against the Orange
me1. Celt Guards organization, num-
beriDg over two hundred men, re-
ceiyed orders to assemble at their
hall on Pavonia avenue, tonight, and
remain under arms till the following
morning. The United Irishmen, it is
also stated, are determined to turn
out and make common cause with
the HibeTnlans. They number some

were made to the effect that
thousands of Orangenen are coming
frOa Canada to participate in the pa
rade, which ad06d 40 little excite
ment and hate OF the Hiberpians.
