The New York Press ON the Riot.
The Star, TammaDy organ, says:
"The facts carry sufficient weight of them
selves. Thus stood affairs. Every body and
everything was at sea. The result of permit
ting few fanatics, no more than hundred at
the outside, to flourish their banners through
the public streets. may be inferred from care
full perusal of the fearful story. So tar as we
hear the Orangemen did not dare to outrage
public sentiment as grossly as they first in
tended, but contented themselves with timdly
marching under cover before, behind and be-
tween the State militia. The ancient order of
Hibernians behaved like sensible men, and re-
putable citizens, avoiding the crowds, and ia
no instance participating in the disgraceful
melees with which the day was Marked
Fighting, which led 10 wholesale aid ipdis-
criminate slaughter. was generelly begun by
some hotheaded fanatic on one or the other
side, who deemed it smart trick to drop a
brick upon a soldiers head, or fire bullet at
militaman's head. OF course the soldiers
could not stand snch outrageous familiarity as
that, and retaliated upon the fanatic by firing
upon the crowd. A wholesome lesson is taught
by the incidents of the day; and We do not be-
leve it will everahappen again that carefully
considered and an officially issued order, ema-
mating from competent authority, will be with
drawn at midnight, in compliance with a re-
quest from another official who may deem his
ideas of duty better and wiser than those of
the more immediate representative of the peo.
Pile. If Kelso's order had stood the day would
have passed OFF in perfect quiet; as it is, the
record is as black as the devil himself could
wish it.

AFTER Gov. Randolph, the Democratic chief
mag istrate of New Jersey, had set Hun noble
example of manliness, after the whole respec-
table population of New York had risen in an
CRY protest, after a storm OF Indignation had
burst forth which no governor could possibly
lace, ne published his proclamation, rot on
TUESDAY, When IT was dated, but on w ednes-
Day morning, at such an hour that most of the
morning papers, except the Tribune, were una
bic to make any comment ON it, and the Or
angemen, as he doubtless hoped, would be I'M
able to turn 1t to advantage. Published on
Monday, the governors proclamation would
probably have insured a quiet parade, and
saved the awful flow of blood which we have
this morning to report.
The mournful lists of yesterdays casualties
are elsewhere printed, but the chief and most
cnlpable victims are not there mentioned. Put
down among the killed A. Oakley Hall; set
down as dangerously if not fatally wounded,
John I. Hoffman, the deadest man in the
morgue, borne thither by the police last night,
IS not so sad as the man who undertook to 81
lepce tine police and give the rioters full sway;
the worst wounded man in the hospitals is not
so badly wounded as the Governor of New
York, who had not proved bis ignorance on
Monday of the surrender eonsummated Mon
day night by his political associates and subor-
dnates which he could have neutralized and
did not. Add to the list the one man promoted
by his share in this business; his name is The
odore f. Randolph. And above all, give honor
TO the people of New York who arose for the
right as they have not risen since Sumter"
The Herald says:
much credit is due to Gov Hoffman for his
share in yesterdays work His proclamation
came late, ii is true; to late to prove as useful
in allaSing the passions of the multitude as it
otherwise wouid have been; but it was set free
from anything that could give offence, and yet
so clear, so firm, SO unmstable that its inf1u-
enee for good is incalculable. II exhibited no
desire 10 shrink from great public duty, or to
evade that duty in the face of grave public
danger. Ii was manly, straish forward doc
ument, holding out protection to those who
needed it, and indicating swift retrbution for
those requiring punishment. The Recorder of
1868 showed himself tie same man as the Gov
ernor Of 1871. There was now as then the
same lmpatience with murder and riot, the
same determination to enforce the law and
punish the law-breakers. He breathed only

to break the peace and shed the blood OF others.
In all things from the moment he came to the
city, he was strong, earnest and energetic in
suppressing the mob-violence, which it was
plain must have cone To him is due the hon
or of preserving the city from even worse
scenes than those which were witnessed in 8h
avenue. He lifted up the trailing flags of our
common country and held aloft the glorious
old star spangled banner. He rescued the city
from The disgrace of a surrender to the mob"

NEW HAMPSHIRE LEGISLATURE -Wednes-
day, when the matter for the removal OF Judge
Allen came up in the Senate, Senator Smith
rose to personal explanation. He said it had
been represented to him that Judge Allen was
an incorporate man, and on that representa-
ticn he agreed to vote against him. He
afterwards learned from Democrats that
the charge was false, and he was 10 be removed
because he was Republican, which Senator
Smith deemed quite different pretext and
constituted no valid reason. The vote being
taken, the address of removal failed.
Under the lead of Mr. Bingham yesterday
an address was carried through the House for
the removal of another Judge, because it was
asserted that he had prosecuted Democrats for
violation OF the liquor law and let Republicans
run clear.
