The women appeared at the windows above
making signs of anguish and bewilderment,
looking alternately down at the. bodies, and
then at the troops and policemen. Presently,
one and then another of the friends OF the Vic
Tins stole out and touched them to see If they
were still alive, but soon hastened w,fsln: One
young Irishman, however, remained, walked
to and fro. wringing his hands, and making
.piteous and incoherent cries of grief From
time TO time he clenched his fist and seemed
to be. making desperate resolves. OF Ven-
geauce, and then would stop to look at one
and another of the bodies. The surgeon OF
one OF the regiments came with commendable
promptitude to attend to the wounded. At
last when the mob had been driven far back
on the side streets, the work of removing the
dead and wounded began, as the column re-

dered 1t. to the rear, and brought up one-hall
OF the 9th to take Its place at the left oil the
Orangemen. The procession then moved on.
The passion of the mob appeared to nave
greatly subsidized. The sidewalks were lined
with people, the windows OF many OF the
houses were crowded, and at many points
workingmen IN, large numbers suspended
their labors to witness the procession; but they
were ali silent. When all were gone and the
right of procession had been vindicated, 1t was
an awful scene for an American city to see
these bleeding and shattered forms OF men
and women littering the paFements ana stones
of Eighth avenue and the cross streets. Priests
now appeared upon the ground, seeking to
perform the last office for.seme past praying
for, and the little groups of relatives, children
and brothers, with dlsordered hair and dress,
and tears and Mprecations blended, stopped
over the bodies and added to, the htdeousness
iof the resnlt.
After a little while, carts and furniture
wagons were impressed by the police, and
one after another the warm but lifelesS bodies
were laid in these vehicles-the heads toward
the tall of the Garland they moved over to-
ward Broadway; and passed the line of hotels,

Square, where Its reception was extraordinary.
Loud acciaims came from all hotel guests,
who represented every part OF the 'Unltea
States, while from Madison Square and from
safe distances the mob still hurled occasional.
stones and bricks, and made fendishi iontcrtes:

The Flight at Grace Church.
About IL. go o'clock a. crowd of about one
hundred aud. fifty laborers and longshoremen
formed In an irregular procession in Prince
street, and marched out into Broadway. There
was no. mistaking their purpose. Many Of
them were armed with clubs extemporlzed
from packing-boxes and barrels. They were
headed by a Yilanou us-lo oking individual, who
wore q long-skirted broadcloth coat, and

This mnrderous gang proceeded quietly and
defanlly up. Broadway, making no other de-
monstration than to call to recognized sympa-
thisers who were discovered on the sidewalk
to joln them. Their destination and determl-
nation were, however, apparent to all the law
abiding citizens OF the great thoroughfare,1
who looked sulleRly apd trembllngly on.
the crowd that followed them on 'elther
sidewalk was swollen by the raft Of lawless
wretches that crawl into sight on those cor
ners when there is q prospect Of excitement.
Pickpockets, gamblers of the contemplate
grade, professional thieves, murderers, and
every shade OF Villains down to the youthful
Esneak-thieves, who scent q harvest 10 every
organized oppositionto law, sWarmed out OF
their dens and holes OF Murderers' block. For
It is on such occasions that the noxious aud
unsNspected Lille with which every great City
teens dares to come into the light, and law
abiding citizens are horrided at an eruptisn OF
savages who have no interest whatever in the
questions at issue, and who are impelled by no
prejudices, but who scent plunder and blood.
Drawn into the. tide the swell mob had 1t all
its own way from Houston street up to Tenth.
Citizens were hustled and bonnetted, pockets
were picked, watch chains gcut, tradesmen
knocked down, and stunned and aghast
the dealers on Broadway Selther hastily
closed their doors or retreated to the
t4rNxv<a
Church the procession encountered detach-
-ment of police. The officers were mounted,,
and the men were In omnibusses. The crowd
was ordered to disperBe: The rabble, headed
by Its armed ringleader, broke out In defiant
yells. Not minute elapsed after the order
was given before the police were In the street,
and charging upon the incendiarles like q
with cloven skull, and his sword was left ip
the gutter. Afew Of the bravest OF his rowdles
stood q moment, and then fled bowling. The
argument Of locust was mol beyond even their
comprehension, and In FIVE minutes the; whole
foul crew bad been scattered, and were howl
Ing In full flight back to. thelr retreats. A
round of applause from thousands of specta-
tators in the windows and on the balconies
who had witnessed the rout, testlaed.to' Its
completeness when the street was clear.
An incident. -
Before IklS procession started from Prlnce
street there was one person In 1t, a mere boy,
who could not have been over. .l8, who made
himself conspicuous by the most violent Ian
guage and action. He f6urlshed revolver,
and vowed the most fearful oaths that he would
have the blood of an 0rangeman before night.
Half frantic with excitement his slender frame
and freckled face were seen flying through the
croWG as lie melted his fellows tc, acts OF Eyio
lence. When the party started he took his
place in front, and for long way marched by
The side of the leader with his pistolin his.

down the cleared thoroughfare, ind was at

teenth street. Passing through the, knot OF
bystanders he CAME upon the senseless. form
Of this boy laid upon 3 board. His skull was
crushed, and the blood had saturated him. from
head to feet. "A sorrow;strick crowd sglared
at him. One Il them said it was always 30;
