A DISGRACEEUL AFFAIE
FrightfuI Scenes Among the Dead an
Dying.
We have not the space to give
detailed account of this terrible riot
but will give the particulars in
condensed form. From the Ne1
York Herald we make the followin
extract:
The avenue was remarkably clea
of ladies and even men,. Up an
down the crossing streets som
hundreds of spectators were noun
ted on the stoops Of dwellings, un
willing to venture as far as the di
rect route Of the parade, but at tn
corners of the crossing streets, hud
died together in sinister and NUT
tering groups, were the creature
who were to turn this pleasant seem
of show and music into an occasion
of terror and of blood.
THE RIOTERS MAKING READY.
They were generally half grow
men and boys of the basest class
tenants of dense and distant quar-
ters, who had come to the spot witt
the intentions of violence and even
murder.
They were attired in greasy and
often ragged clothes, slouchy as to
hats, dirty as to boots, often freckled
and unhealthy in complexion, and
their coarse jaws, cheekbones and
brows; lowering, brutal and uneasy
mode of observation; strong dental
dialects and mode of swearing and
gesturing, indicated natures utterly
uncultured, or cultured only in the
forms of vice; bred in the densest
purlieus of social cast-aways from
the cradle up, and used only to the
delights of ruflianism and cruelty.
A few looked positively idiotic, as
if born to browse rather than to
walk upright, and so far from pos
sessing religious zeal in the matter
in hand they seemed to have come
to the congenial delight of a riot
of the issues to be settled
IN it. A few were tolerably dressed
md these, by their remarks, appear
ed to indulge the belief that the
Orange parade was not merely the
version Of their particular school
md creed, but that it was in some
manner a public insult which every
nan was bound to resent. Spewed
'ut of the lanes and garrets of a
lense city these men had all the
,elligerency with none of the ideal
SIN of the Paris communists.
