The New YORK RIoT-A PARALLEL Casa
correspondent Of the New York EUening Post in
looking through his experience for a parallel to
the sagacious and equitable decision Of the New
York city rulers to suppress the Orange process
sion lest it provoke the Hibernians to riot, finds
but one case that is pat to the point, and it is
this: -
Many years ago, in an interior county of Illi-
nois, there was an old lawyer who had borne
sway at the bar so long and SO uninterruptedly
that he regarded the court and jury as his private
property, and by a sort of quiet acquiescence
such had come to be the general idea. At length,
however, a young lawyer moved into the county,
who at once determined to contest the supremacy
of the autocrat. One day, in an important and
hotly-contested case, he followed up the old
Judge with such audacious vigor and success that
at length the veterans temper gave way entirely,
and he proceeded to pour out upon the young
counselor's head such a torrent of furious denun-
citation that everybody expected a scene of vio-
lence, or else that the youth would subside into
nonentity. But just as he was getting ON his
legs to reply, what did the Court do? Just what
