opinion concerning the recent riot in this city

sion, and if present he would have given or
ders to fire without hesitation. The officers of
the S4th regiment last night voted to eXpel
Lieutenant Maclzlin, company c, and take
steps to court martial him for cowardice and
conduct unbecoming an officer. They also
adopted resolutions complimenting the police
for gallant and creditabe conduct during the
riot. Two German clubs have been organized
in Brooklyn since the riot, each member pledg-
lng himself that he would vote only for citizens

ment of the United States, and dearly gave sub
stantlal evidence of their respect for law and
love of liberty, we deeply deplore the calamitous
events of Wednesday, the 18th instant, and de.
nounce, as slanderouS and UNJUST the imputa-

public officers, that the great body Of the Irish
citizens of New York are, in any manner, re-
