IRE AND vs. GERMANY.
The Latter Victorious Through the Hedlum
Of Shot-6uns and Clubs.

NEW YORK, July 21.-The San says
that NOnnet or HsckensOcket, on the
Erie railrOad, has been, during last
week, a scene Of serious disorder.
The Erie employees there were q
number Of Irish and German laborers.
To guard against disputes, a COM
pany of Germans we're stationed at
one point and Irish at another, bat the
men met in the village after labor and
entered into a deadly contest. On Sat
urday, the men having been paid OF,
repaired to the saloons in the village.
The Germans were, at ten O'Clock in
the evening, discussing lager in Jacob
Gross saloon, and a number Of Irish
men, under the influence of liquor and
bgut on mischief, entered and picked a
quarrel, and eventually drove the
Germ Sns out. Their violence was
such that Mr.. Gross and family were
Obliged to flee for their lives. The
Irishmen having thus cleared the
saloon, drank all the liquor, then broke
the glasses and china, and departed.
On the following Tuesday morning,
while Ryan and O'DOnnel, Irish
labOrers, were going to work they
were met by several Germans and
terribly beaten with clubs. Ryan
max not survice his injuries. The
Irish labOrers, at a meeting the same
afternoon, resolved TO attack Gross
saloon, headquarters Of the Germans.
Armed with clubs and stones, they
approached late in the evening at the
door Of the saloon and demanded ad-
mission. This being denied them,
they stOrmed the place with stones,
and damaged il considerably. The
Germans had, however, got word OF
the intended assault, and armed them
selves with shOt.guns, discharged
vOlley after vOlley into the crowd Of
assailants from the windows above,
while Others, armed with clubs, made
a salley upon them below. The riot
ers be&t a hssty retreat, leaving three
Of their wounded. Patrick McAIahOn
was shot in several places. The
wounds, though painful, are not neces-
sarily fatal. Isaac Cullen was hit in
tTenty-six places, and his recovery is
doubtful. Martin Gahegan was hit
two or three times and severely
dubbed. How many Of those who
ran away were hurt cannot be sscer-
tanned.

banks. But whereas the vote on the main
question a fortnight before, when the bill was
brought in from the Banking Committee, was
1O7 to %, il was nov bare majority; show
ing that the question was now fully under
stood by the House.
It Is evident that the matter is far from
finally settled, and that IL will shortly come
up again We trust, by that time, some of
our friends viii be prepared to ventilate the
subject fully, Here is Mr.. Boutwell, trying,
at an enormous expense for stationery, adver-
tising, telegraphing, commissions, puHery,
and humbug generally TO convert two hun
dred millions of six per cent. bonds into five
per cents so as to save the country two mil
lions in taxes per annum yet here are four
hundred millions of bonds lying in the Trea-
sury, on which the country is taxed nearly
twenty-four millions of dollars, every dollar
of which goes as a subsidy, q free gift, with
out one particle of consideration, into the
pockets Of ring of national bank monopo-
lists, who now impudently claim that the peo-
pie should be taxed nearly two millions in
addition, in order to furnish these same banks
with clean notes in place of the filthy rags by
means of which, and on pretense Of which,
they now collect this outrageous subsidy.
The true position of the case is this, aud it
should never be forgotten. The superior
ereepbacks cost the people nothing, Wilde the
inferior national bank notes cost the country
twenty millions of dollars per annum. And
the ring of monopolists who receive this
enormous subsidy forms the very centre and
nucleus of the whole tariff, land grabbing,
subsidy-j jobbing, radical nest of fraud and
corruption that is to-day, by means Of the
tariff and the railroads, dividing up the whole
country into series of Independent satrapies,
in which each separate ring plumbers the
helpless people to their hearts content. OF
this monster of compound monopoly and
tyranny the national bank ring forms the
head and heart. This national bank ring is
the point at which Democracy should aim its
blows. Destroy the head, and the limbs and
body will lie helpless The true Democratic
platform is the destruction of the bank, tariff,
and railroad rings by means of which radical
plunderers to-day hold the country in sub
lection.

Offices Of the Erie Company With another
gentleman to give orders for the TRANSPORTS
ton Of certain freight over the road, and,
having transacted his business, came away.
He was not in the building fifteen minutes.
Mr.. Fenton has denied in the most sweeping
and emphatic manner the charges which have
been made against his integrity and we are
satisfied that all impartial men believe him
to have been shamefully maligned
Under these circumstances il was reasonable
to expect from the Times frank withdrawal
Of its accusations and an apology for making
them. Il gives us, instead, a number OF
reasons for suspecting Governor Fenton on
general principles, and leaves the pub
Tic in doubt whether il means to re-
tract or TO reaffirm charges which it owns
itself unable to support. This is neither
manly nor decent. The readiness of jour-
nal which proclaims itself the champion Of
propriety to seize upon the most infamous
falsehoods and repeat them without shadow
of reason, is astonishing enough; but its hesi-
tation either to persist in its position or
manfully to draw back is more surprising still
We commend once more TO it, and to its COM
rade in SANDER, the Springfield Republican,
the excellent sentence above quoted
"There are papers here which would stand a
very poor chance of carrying on business if
the law of libel afforded illuminated per-
Sons any real protection"

ISLANDER.
From the N. Y. Tribune

From the N. Y. 1Ti0Une
The Times on Wednesday omitted to publish
the straightforward and explicit retraetion of
its SANDER on Governor FentoR which, In a
moment of misplaced confidence, we expected
from it. The Times has recently been an
eloquent denouneer of reckless journalism.
It reioiced the other day over the verdict in
the Goldschmidt libel suit as salutary lesson
to newspapers which abuse the liberty of the
press by invading private character; and il
Justly remarked that ''there are papers here
which would stand very poor chance of car
ryine on business If the law of libel afforded
calumniated persons any real protection f"
The libel ous story which occasioned these
remarks was an unfounded report that Mr..
Goldsebnidt had squRndersd his wifes pro-
perty. The ink is hardly dry on the com
ments we have quoted when the Times pub
fishes a libel q thousand fold more afro
cious, accusing an eminent Sc
nator of selling out his party and
conspiring with his political opponents to
bribe member of the Legislature. Such a
charge as this ought never to be made except
upon the most convincing evidence The
Times seems to have had no evidence at ali.
IL spoke upon the faith of baseless Albany
rumor, confirmed, as it supposed, by the
statement that Governor Fenton had called
upon Jay Gould at the Erie offices, and held
a prolonged interview with him. We have
inquired into this circumstance (ae ths Times
might have done and ought to have done),
and are able to say that the statement is un-
true. Governor fenton went to the public

the Jurisdiction Of the police, ssbureau" is
to be created for the regulation OF that espe-
cial nuisance, and it It's probable leealizing by
. recognized system Of black-mail Another
''bureau" is 10 have control over the railroad
and ferries in so far as they are amenabIe to
corporation ordinances. We presume that
there does not exist single citizen who be-
Heves that the public will get any fresh pro-
lection from the superintendent" and his
subordinates, nor do we imagine that anv one
doubts that the railroads and ferries. and
through them the public, will be required to
bleed for this latest device for the employ
ment of City Hall loafers.
The amendments TO the charter and the
measures associated with them are. nearly
without exception, bold and insolent usurpa-
tions of popular rights. The single good
feature which they present is that, being so
emphstically despotic in their conception,
they cannot fail to be oppressive in their exc
cution. In spite of organized fraud at the
ballot-box, and unscrupulous corruption in
every department of city government, the
people viii find means 20 rise against their
oppressors at day not far distant The ring
have nothing that can now restrain them from
Wholesale confscstion and plunder, but we
are no more prepared to believe that the
grave Of popular liberty in this city has been
dnally closed, than that usurpstion such as
that of our present masters can be eternal
