three four elements OF our population Of the sort
TO be counted upon In every riot-hrst, the great
Dulk OF the tlmid, who cry out to RibbOnmen and
Orangemen. "a curse on both your hOuses;" then
there were the ardent mutneers, who had made
II a matter OF conscience to waylay every
man with the yellow colOrs ana make
an example OF him, so that this business Of cele-
brating the Battle OF the Boyne and the lying down
OF the 'Croppes' should be at rest for ever. Again,
there was an indignant public backing up every
milltiaman as he went 10 his armory, saying:-
'John. look well to your cartridges, and don't
miss the command TO dre and don't fire away your
shot on nUthing.n
When the daily papers were taken up by the
guests at the hotels by the shopkeepers letting down
their fronts, and by clerks ana laborers going to
their business, and the proclamation OF Governor
Hoffman read and passed to their rejection, II
was plain that there was deep feeling embracing
fully nne-tepths or all the inhabitants Of the city,
that the Orange procession should go on, not so
much because 1t was needul as because 1t had been
nindered. and Its protection was now the common
business and reputation of the whole inhabitancy.
FENIANs NO RIOTERS.
A notable feature OF the anti Orange and pro-rot-
Gus class was the absence OF all the better Fenian
leaders from It, On Sunday night, 1t Will be remem-
bercd, O'Donovan Rossa--who is, by birth, talent
and suffering as wen qualified to be
representative Fenian as any living Irishman-
made a speech, urging temperance and Cancellation
and thorough obedience TO the law, religious toler-
alton and the elevation Of the Irish character among
their American fellow citizens. He was loudly
hooted and Kissed, and cries We're made to throw
him out, stop his jaw, &C., SO that ODonovan had
70 1s slenl, -..s,ssS.-a,sa,
u,s,A4sA..r MAN TO BE INDICTED.
It is the general opinion OF the folks who nave
been looking ak The Whole &iialE that shc W9st Wis
chievOus and guilty parsonage as an inciter of this
riot has been one Edward L. Carey. This man oc-
cuples the position of Port Warden, which is said
to give him considerable emOluments, and he
has certain influence Of the baser sort
over the worst and most ignorant OF
our Irish people He made an nnammatory speech,
accessory,to tGls riot as late Tuesday night while
the authorities were gathering together to take
measures to keep the peace and save the reputation
of the city. Carey was formerly tailor, who grew
into politician, and he made his most notable pub
lie experience as sort OF Father Mathew tempe
rance lecturer. He Is O tall, powerful maD
with thin face. scraggy mustacne ana goatee,
heavy eyebrows and high cheek bones His face Is
sallow and forbldding. He bears the name Of being
professional mischef.maker. There were few
men who went so far stirring up this riot as this
person, ana he stuck TO 1t with avidlty up TO his
last opportunity. Some further notice OF this man
may be necessary to TX the exact amount OF his
resp visibility in the death or the men and women
many OF them innOcent-who suffered for his dema
goguery.
THE NEWS GOING TO THE COUNTRY.
On wednesday morning as the daily newspapers
passed out on the early trains the great suburbs
Of New York, IN New jersey on Long Island, III Con-
necticut-even as rar as Philadelphia-where the
issues arrived before eleven O'Clock, the elaborate
accounts of the threatened riot, OF the changed
attitude of the state authorities and the almost
unanimous opinion OF the press that under
no circumstance the right OF procession OF peaceable
parade and Of th0roughfare must be infringed, at
once the news became the topic OF the day and pro-
baby as many as three millions OF people were In
tent TO know all the circumstances al the moment OF
Transportation. Never since the momentous days OF
the war has the whole East been so much excited
as yesterday.
tue ROUGHs QUIT WORK.
The public had not long to wait. Both parties
being fully ready, movements were begun soon
after daylight and the first incidents occurred on
the northern part OF the island, where nearly nine
hundred Iaborers, chiefly Irish, were engaged upon
the new Boulevards. These gangs OF men were
distant from i've miles from the business part
Of New York, and many OF them were hardly
aware Of what had taken place during the night.
The mutneers IN bodies OF from twenty TO one hun
dred, approached these gangs, and by persuasion
and threatening means obliged them to quit work,
while large portion OF the easy-nlnded ana those
ready for Q lark fell in with their meters.
Similar movements probably took place further down
in the city, particularly In second avenue on Ninth
avenue and upon avenues A, and O. which lie IN
the dense slaughter house and tenement quarters
uou farr no
stores, small groups Of men were Keeping lookout
upon the street. while within the enterprslng pro-
prietor was dispensing beverages, and parcels of
customers were looking at the printing OF their
blunderbusses and making abstruse chemical re-
marks upon the composition OF their cartridges.
THE WOLVES WANT ARMS
Finally detached gangs OF drunken or sury fell
lows--many Of whom had received some experience
in the draft riots Of 1863 and enjoyed the rare
delight of kicking Colonel o. Bren TO death-moved
insolently upon the Police Headquarters, and began
to boot the Governor General Shaler and The
troops. AFTER listening TO them for some tine the
police and military finally chased them down HOus-
ton street 10 the Bowery and Dagged nearly the
whole number
The rioters then crowded around the Fenian head
quarters on Avenue A and the armory of the Goth
Regiment at the corner OF Essex and Grand Streets
vided with arms immediately The officers also
pOunced upon these NOISY villains, and arrested
great number.
The lowest and most mendacious crowd was at
Hibernia Hall, however, and after good deal OF
chatting and cursing several OF these, armed with
knives and pistols, marched upon neighboring
FenIan hall and demanded arms. Unable TO obtain
these they executed st. Adams tactics In the
street-undertook to march to the Orange rendez.
vous IN order, but were charged 10y the police and
they ran like pack OF cravens. These and similar
movements occupied the whole forenoon. The
great action however, to he fought on the west
side OF the city. near the Irish Protestant Hail,
where the few Orangemen Of forttude were pre-
pairing to face the storm OF bIgotry and wrath.
THE SCENE BEFORE THE BATTLE.
How shall we describe the character OF the men
and boys who hudded on the corners OF Eignln ave-
nue. from from Thlrty-flrst to Twenty-thlrdS
Everybody knows that our uptown cross blocks
are very near together, that there are ten
OF them within half mile. The whole theatre
