NEW York July IL.
There Is thueh feeling and con-
siderable surprise manifested In the
city this morning at the order of
Superintendent Kelso forbiding the
parade oftho Ofangemon. The Or.
angemen are, IF course, bitter and
Istlleit and theft enemies feel them
selves already inasters Of the situa-
ton. Great excitement prevailed In
the city oil day yesterday. The move
ments ofthe the Roman Catholic So
cieties, the intentions of the Orange
men, nnd Che preparations of The
police and military, were subjects of
the most intense interest.
The few outside of the police force
to whom this order and the policy it
embodies became known last night
were almost unanimous In denounc-
ing it as . cowardly surrender, and
it was confidently anticipated public
opinion would thoroughly disapprovo
of this concession TO the 1awless
threats OF men who arc condemned
alike by their religious teachers and
their intelligent political leaders.
The excitementin Jersey City with
regard to tho Orangemen's parade,
and the riot which is expected to
follow in It's train is intense. There
is no doubt that the Otahgenen of
Jersey City are determined to parade
at all hazards, and the greatest alarm
exists in consequence among the citi-
zens, who are apprehensivo for the
safety Of thcir persons and property.
The Hibernians make no secret Of
their determination to attack the
OraDgemeh, in case the latter should
parade. Their preparations for the
expected fray are said to DO very
complete.
The people are still confident that
the Orangemen's parade will take
place to morrow and the entire force
Of reserves will assemble at the con-
trail Office at 6 a. m, and will, upon
the first notice of an outbreak, be
transferred by stages to the scene of
the disturbance. ~
The ordinance, sanitary police and
the detective force are all to be used
as reserves. The available force will
not exceed LOO mon. A supply of
revolvers aud other arms was recclv-
ed at head quarters to-day. Capt.
Wilson's mounted police, over 200
strong, will DO on duty for any emer-
gency. armed with revolvers and
sabrcs. The whole surgical force of
the police department will attend at
a. m. tomorrow.
tits understood in police circles
that the burglars and 'highwaymen
of tho city have formed combina-
ton to make simultaneous raid
upon the jewelry and chief dry goods
stores during the concentration of the
police at the place of riot. Infor-
nation has been received that nun.
bors of thieves were leaving other
cities for New York, in view of the
expected riot.

Kelso have been in communication
with MAJOR General Shaler, with
respect to the necessity for a military
force to aid the police, and shortly
after noon to day General Shaler
issued orders to number of regi-
ments ordering them to rendezvous
to. morrow at their respective armor-
les for preservation Of the public
peace. Col. Emmon Clark. Of the

JOHN J. BOND,
Grand Master of tho Orangemen of
America, it appears, has all along
been opposed to the parade, but va
rious Orange lodges, opposed him in
this view. He says, however, that
the Orangemen are prepared, ana II
attacked will stand their ground.
pLEAsANroN's RESTORATION.
A Washington special says the re-
ports Of the past few days that
Pleasanton had resigned and that
his resignation had been accepted, is
authoritively denied. 1t is at the
same time asserted that Secretary
Boutwell,. before leaving for home,
gave some Instructions to Deputy
Commissioner Douglass which indi-
Gated that he expected that gentle
men to be Acting Commissioner be-
fore his return. There is much spec
ulation as to the course of Pleasanton
in case he should not DO sustained by
the President; some asserting that
he will Immediately resign, others
that he will retain his position and
square his conduct to tho Secretary's
orders.
