Governor Hoffman Yesterday made
the following statement to reporter
81 became thoroughly satisfied, that it
was necessary, not only for the present,
but for the future, that whatever layless
element there was in the city of New
York should be made to understand, at
once, and finally, that there was force
enough III tue city, military and civil, to
assert the power Of the authorities of
tne law and to preserve peace and order,
anu 10 protect the lives aud property of
the people. ! determined to issue the
proclamation at once, that professions
and assemblages for any lawful purpose,
should be permitted and would be pro.
tected to the full extent of the law, as
far as the civil and military power at my
command would be sufficient. There is
no safety for citizen, whether he be
poor or rich, foreign or native born, Pro-
testaht or Catholic, or for bis wife and
'cmi1ren, except i'll the maintenance of
order under the authority of law. at all
times, aud the people, whatever may be
Their nationality, or their religion, or
whatever may be their sympathies will
be sure TO see that it is their common
interest 10 sustain tie authorities in pre-
serving order at all hazards. This is
not question of tO-day's procession,
but it is u question which applies to all
future gatherings of men who choose to
assemble for any purpose, personal, re-
lgious, or political, who threaten no in
terfereuce with the rights of persons
and the property of others. They have
a right to these gatherings and process
sions and they must not be inte fered
with, and under all circumstances and at
all hazards, they must aud shall be pro-
tected by civil and military authorities.
The attempt to made the issue of today
one of religion or politics is wicked,
mischievou:, ard malicious, and every
good citizen, whatever may be bis creed,
or his politics, is bound TO sustain the
authorities in their determination to pre-.
serve order and vindicate the law. ..,
The majority of the seth regiment
were locked up in the armory all day.
y small detachment then went out, be-
haved very badly, and affiliated with the
rioters. As soon as this became known
the doors Of the arnlory were locked and
barred. f. .. aia t
A majority of he crowd that follow
ed the procession, evidently had no idea
that SO many had been killed and
wounded at Twenty y-fourth street, or it is
believed they would have stopped their
demonstration there. As the facts were
developed, CONSERVATION seemed to
strike every one present. The news
rang through the city in advance Of the
military, for the people by this time
seemed to forget the Orangemen, who
were squeezed into small compass, and
talked about the fight between the
mob and the military. The Orangemen
were so completely protected by the
proclamation of Governor Hoffman, and
by the t"arlessness of the military and
civil authorities on duty in executing
the Governors will, that not q man of
them was injured. .f ''"
Two companies Of the 69th were sent
last night to guard the Postoffice and
one to the Custom House and one to the
Sub-Trcasury. The Treasury also had
lis usual guard doubled. During the
day, bankers and brokers were supplied
by telegraph wires running to Broad ST.,
with the earliest information. At 2:3O
O'Clock most of the brokers commenced
10 deposit tin boxes containing their Sc
curitles in the Stock Exchange and Bank
vaults. All business on the street was
suspended, and at the close there were
scarcely brokers enough in the Board to
establish quotations. The movement for
securing valuables was made immediate
Iy after the reception OF the report that
the mob was moving down town on the
Police headquarters.
New York, July lathe fearful
than is yet reported. Hundreds were
wounded Of whom the police will never
able 10 get any account. there are 100
scouts out this morning, who report ev-
cry half hour to the nearest station
house. Everything goes to show that
the laborers are at work aud that no
trouble may be apprehended to-day. The
llth regiment lett the Police headquar-
ters at eight O'Clock the IA. m. Only 100
are on duty before the building. Gen.
Shaler and staff are still at their post,
where they will remain till noon. Ey.
trything in fact points to a complete
restaration of order. The streets in the
neighborhood rf the Morgue at Bellevue
Hospital were this morning densely
crowded with interested and curious
spectators, many of them in quest Of
their friends, but by far the larger por
ton is itnpelled by morbid desire to
see the MANNED and bloody bodies Of
he victims of yesterdays riotiug. The
number of contres in the morgue this
morning was twen'y-six, and of these
twenty were identified. and permits
were given by Coroner Young for. their
removal. ... -'..
