| Walling. One squad was placed on
the corner Of Thirtieth street and
Eighth avenue, another on Twenty
eighth street, and small corps on
TWenty-ninth street, about halt way
down the block, on both sides OF the
avenue, TO prevent any one not
a member of the Orange fraternity
| from entering the lines.
Several persons, representing them
selves as Orangemen, were allowed
TO pass through, but, being rather sus-
picious looking, were searched by the
police and on about twenty were
found revolvers, pistols, all kinds Of
clubs and old rusty swords.
From one man was taken seven
shooter loaded, q box OF cartridges
and a roll containing the names Of
nearly one hundred volunteers, who
had got ready to do duty. Every few
minutes arrests were made, and in

from the prisoners. A fellow repre-
senting himself as reporter had
furnished himself with four shooter
and ammunition and club. be
gave his name as McGuiness. He
was taken in charge, together with
his companion, named American.
Towards two o'clock, the neighbOr-
hood of the Orange headquarters be-
came Intensely crowded, and the po-
lice had much difficulty IN keeping
the mob within bounds. At about
half-past two, the Orangemen formed
on Twenty ninth street, below Eighth
avenue, and at the same time the
TWenty-secOnd regiment, under Col
oneI Porter, marched past and formed
in line on Eighth avenue, where they
loaded with bail cartridges. Next
came the Sixth regiment, which took
up q position to the north Of Twenty
second street. The police were on
the east side OF the street and the mir

anee, and numbered scarcely two hun
dred. They have two banners, one
the stars and stripes, and banner
bearing the picture of William Of
Orange on horseback, and small one
with the inscription, American free
men, fall in"
The procession waited for some time
for a band of music, which at last ar

on the mob and il was fea red
that general row would
take place, but it was soon quieted.
