NEW YORK, July To- Never, during
the last twenty years, has New York been
more free from disorder of all kinds than
during the last two days. The teribls
events of last Wednesday have taught
the mob q lesson, that does not seem
likely to be soon forgotten. The circum-
stances and incidents of the riot continue
to be the absorbing subject of conversa-
ton, and many additional details of in
terest are given below:
Police Resolutions ComdemnIng the
NaiIitary-GeneralA Approval OF she
Firing.
The resolutions passed by Capt. Jo-
seph II. Petty and the thirteenth precinct
police, denouncing the eighty fourth regi-
ment for having fred without cause,
meets with universal condemnation
throughout the department. 1t is the
opinion of every officer of rank with
whom the reporter has conversed that the
firing of the military could have been
avoided but few moments longer. The
crowd were pressing on the police and
military, and each moment missiles and
shots were coming faster and faster from
the housetops and the mob in the street.
That the soldiers refrsined from firing so
long as they did, speaks well for their
discipline and GOODNESS.
Inspectors Walling and Jameson,
Cspts. Caffrey, Burden, jeremiah Petty,
DeCamp, Helme and others, who were
engaged are unanimous in asserting that
the military would have been compelled
to open fire within very few moments,
and had a general volley been fired the
loss of life would have been very much
greater. President Smith and other COM
missioners are indignant at the conduct of
Capt. Petty, aud charges have been pre-
ferred against him, Sergeant William
Quinn, and Roundsman John w. Folk,
VINO signed the resolutions.
Eunere0ls
Arrangements were made yesterday by
the officers of the Ninth regiment for the
funeral services of their late comrades,
Sergeants Wyatt and Page. -Four COM
panies of the Seventh, FIRST and Thir-
tenth regiments of Brookiynn, viii also
participate in the funeral services.
Tue Riots OF Last Year.
1t appears by the publication of letter
under the date of August 4, 1870, that
Mayor Hall sent letter to Superintend-
ent Jourdan, advising the suppression of
the proposed Orange parade of that
period, and taking substantially the
ground on which Order No. 81 has been
based.
The Deaths Increased TO Fifty-Six
All bodies at the morgue were identi-
fed. The number killed, thus far repor-
ted, is fifty-six, five additional deaths
having occurred since Thursday night.
Ten companies of police, As men each,
will attend the funeral, tomorrow, Of
Henry G. Page and Sergeant Wyatt, of
the 9th regiment.
How the Rioters Mixed in the Crowd
The Mail says in regard to the riot:
kll talk about innocent ard peaceful
spectators is nonsense. The Police Com
missioners have at headquarters nearly
TWO hundred revolvers and butcher knives,
taken from seventy men arrested during
the riot. One Hibernian had three i'm
mence pistols slowed away IN his pock-
cts, aud another had knife q foot and
a half long concealed in his coat sleeve.
These arms were borne by men in the
crowds along the side of the procession,
and are sufficient proof that the rioters
were determined TO kill as many as they
could.
GOV. Randolph Serenaded.
MoRRIsTowN, n. j., July l5.-The
neighbcrs of Gov. Randolph, without dis.
tinction of party, serensded him las;
afternoon, when the Governor responded
as follows:
l have every reason to be grateful
when my public acts seem to have the
hearty approval of my neighbors snd
friends, native and foreign as to birth,
| Republican and Democratic as to poll
tics, Protestant and Catholic as TO relig
ion. The truth is, and these recent events
clearly demonstrated it, that whatever
! differences we have as to cur political
| opinion or religious faith, or whatever
accident of birth may have made US, ma
tive or foreign, we are all, if we are al
we should be, intensely American, PROUD
of the title and Jealous of any act by any
| people that may serve to tarnish TIT
| honor or strike at the privileges of Ou
common countrymen. As JerseYmeD
with great historic associations and memo
ries, we should be Tecresnt TO all on
fathers commended for, did not we ahemp
at any cost to transmit our rights ant
privileges untramelled and unimpaired.
Whilst, during the recent troubles
complete military preparation was mad
10 promptly aud efficiently sustain tn;
owl power in case of need, and willis
the military power would have certainly
been exercised TO have protected at an.
cost the rights Of the humblest citizen
let me say to you, VINO know me best
that my great satisfaction tonight
found IN the fact that 20 serious use o
the military force was found necessary
So great was found to be the noble for
bearance, patience, and Christian tolera
+
ton of our people of ell religious an
political creeds, that the military fore
was, on that occasion, as l trust 1t eve
may be, in full subordinstion TO the civ
power-assisting, not controlling 1t
sustaining liberty by unfolding law.
