THE NEW YORK RIOT AGAIN.

"a Some of our Irish fellow citizens
have complained Of an article in last
weeks Courier, bitterly denouncing
the New York rioters, and others
have intimated that these structures
have emenated from the COURIER on
account Of supposed hostility to the
Irish people in general.
For every decent Irishman, who
is willing to concede to every other
human being, white and black, Prot
eatant and Catholic alike, the same
rights that he enjoys himself, we
have just as much, and no more re
spect for, than we have for any
other man.
1t Is the manifest destiny OF Irish.
men, as well as all other foreigners,
to become Americans, and the sooner
they recognize this fact, and ANAL
gamate themselves into a homoge
neous citizenship in their adopted
country, the better it will be for ali
concerned.
q The COURIER regards the annual
fapfarorade, on March 18th, to the
memory Of mythical character,
who is superstitiousIy credited with
having driven the frogs, snakes and
Lizards, from ireland, as a foolish
relict Of antiquity, and not particu-
larly creditable to the worshippers of
st. Patrick in this country. Neither
do we approve of the Orange organ
lzation, which aims to keep unduly
prominent conflict between fanati.
cal and bigoted religionists, which
occurred on the Boyne, in Northern
Ireland one hundred years ago
Nevertheless the Constitution of the
United States guarantees to Hiber
mans, st. Patricks, Orangemen, and
everybody else the inalienable right
to make fools of themselves if they
want to. To protect them in their
parades over these musty ideas, we
would invoke the whole power of
the Government, and grind to pow
der, if necessary, the vermin who
would interfere in New York or else
where.
In this connection, we take occa-
sion to quote and fully endorse what
Henry Ward Beecher says on this
point:
THE Orange societies should par
AIDE next year without banner less
or one inscription rubbed out. They
should not do it on an implied prom.
lse that, IT protected for cnce, thew

ing them. When the time arrives, i,

oession is kept up or not. But as

To Brlg-Gen. l.. THOMAS, Adjutant
Gen. U. 5. A., July so, 1864.
The history of this McCandless is
buried in profoand obscurity to the
public, nevertheless this letter will
give a pretty accurate clue to his
character. He is doubtless one OF
the chaps who went in early to cap
ture'the rebels by sprinkling little
salt on their tails. and without en-.
dangering the righteous institution
of slavery. He turned up his indig.
nant proboscis at Fremont's order
and became paralyzed with holy hor.
ror at Lincoln's Proclamation. Fl.
nally, in 1864, the arming of the ne.
groes was too severe a test for his
patriotism, and he Joined in with the
rMcClellanized democracy in declar.
ing the war failure, and refused the
rendered promotion returning to
private life with an expiring flourish
of trumpets intended to demorslizo
our troops in the front and prevent
their reinforcement from the rear.

GEN. GRANT AND THE TREATY
OF WASHINGTON.

In leading and comprehensive
article, on "The Presidents Treaty
Proclamation" the New York hide
pendent thus discourses:
"We think it q we'll deserved trib.
nte to the President of these United
States TO say-what we have already
said-that "the eminent wisdom, the
cool and thoughtful moderation, the
pacific temper, and, at tho same time,
the unfiinching frmness' with which
he has managed this question be.
tween Great Britain and this coun.
try, and conducted the negotiations
to such happy result, entitle him to
the strongest concentrations and the
warmest gratitude of the American
people. President Grant held the
key to the position; and, though a
man OF war, he has earnestly sought
the path OF peace while urging the
just claims, and maintaining the
rights Of this government. He has
gained many laurels on the battle
field in defending the Union against
the Vaccinations Of treason; yet
not one Of them reflects higher
credit upon his name than this splen-
did achievement Of the peaceful civil,
ian and wise statesman.
That Democrats should seek TO
belittle his services, and especially
that the Democratic members of the
Senate should in body vote against
the ratification of the treaty. is a
sad revelation OF the unprincipled
and unpatriotic intensity of partisan
hatred. The people of this country
made no mistake when they chose
General Grant TO the Presidency.
We favor his reelection, not for any
party reasons, but because we APP
prove of his general policy, both
political and financial, domestic and
foreign, as well as Of tho Republican
principles which he SO faithfully rep-
resents.
Caring nothing about the selfish
quarreis among Republican politi
clans, except to condemn them, we
believe In honoring those who do
well aBd trusting those who have
proved themselves worthy OF it,
While we do not hesitate to criticise
President Grant in friendly spirit,
when in our judgment be deserves it,
we ARE not hunting for faults, and
have no plques to crafty BY finding
them and exposing them. We leave
this sort OF criticism TO the open and
avowej enemies OF the Republican
party
