A PROTESTANT LEAGUE.
1t was ascertained that circulars had been
issued OH yesterday for the formation of
Protestant League, to act in all cases
wherein the asserted claims of Roman Cath
olici>m are incompatible with civil and re-
lisious liberty. 1t is understood that 5000
are enrolled for this organization.
TIE FIRST SYMPTOMS oP DISTURBANCE
gangs of Irish laborcrs at work on the
piers, Boulevard, and water-works, in the
upper part Of the city, almost simultane-
ously threw aside their tools. and endeav-
ored to force their Swiss and Italian fellow
laborers to do likewise. The latter,
who were quite numerous, refused to
quit work, and the result was fight
at the corner of 143d street and 18th ave-
nue.. The Irishmen here attacked the Swiss
and Italians, and having the advantage of
arms and numbers, beat them most unmer-
cltully. There being but a small force OF
police in this vicinity, Gen. Shaler ordered
regiment of cavalry and the Eighty-fourth
infantry, which had been quartered at Elm
Park, to dispense the mob. The order was
promptly obeyed, and the battle of the
Boulevard was therefore of short duration.
THE MOB DEMAND ARMS.
At II o'clock large party of Irishmen
surrounded and attacked the Fenian head
quarters, corner Of 10th street and 21st ave-
nue., and demanded the arms there stored.
General Millen, of the Fenian Brotherhood,
assumed charge of the building, and swore
that he would not give up the arms. The
assailants then drew their revolvers and
made a rush for the door, as if to carry it
by storm, but the determined conduct Of
General Millen kept them at bay until the
arrival of hundred policemen, at whose
approach they fed ANONYMOUSLY, leaving
the municipals masters of the field without
struggle. The police then seized all the
arms in the place and brought them to
headquarters. s........a ....-....s 81. .-
At the Fifth Regiment armory, in Hester
street, large crowd had collected, and sig
nited their intention of taking arms. There
were about one hundred men of the regi-
ment in the armory, to each of whom were
dealt out forty rounds of cartridges. See
ing that the regiment was prepared for
them, one brawny individual said, "Come,
boys, let's 90 down to the Seventh Ward
and get the lads, and We'll clean out the
ID Dutch" The majority of the mob
then started off under the leadership of this
man to get the 'flads."
p. THE FIRST BLOOD.
1t was reported at noon that man had
been killed in front of Hibernia Hall, on
Prince street. 1t turned out that one Con-
rad Freeman was savagely assaulted by a
gang of rutians, who knocked him down
and stamped upon him, leaving him for
dead. He WAS taken home in dying con-
dition. None of the assaulters were ar
rested. .--4:-.
ANOTHER MOB DISPERSED.
About half.past the crowd greatly in
creased around Hibernia Hall, and de-
monstrations were so threatening that or
ders were given to dispense them. A large
police force, backed by two regiments,
proceeded to the place. The police met
with fierce resistance, and used their clubs
freely. The crowd then gradually gave
way, and, after retiring sullenly for few
minutes, broke and ran after which order
again reigned in the street, and no threat
ening crowd again collected in tho neigh
borhood. Hibernia Hall was closed and
placed III charge of the police, and all the
liquor stores around thought it better to
close also. .....
About O'Clock large body of police
again marched to Hibernia Hall to disperse
disorderly characters who had again col
lected in the neighborhood. The crowd,
however, did not wait for the police, but at
once dispersed. .sr
TIE ORANGE PARADE.
Owing to the late hour at which Governor
HoGman's proclamation was issued it was
uncertain whether procession would take
place, as the Orangemen. had abandoned
their plans and preparations in consequence
of the previous order Of Superintendent
kelso but during the morning they de-
cided to get as many members together as
they could, and come out under the pro-
lection Of the Governor. One of the officers
of the Orange Association, named Joseph
Burton, called at the central Office and held
a consultation with Governor Hoffman and
Superintendent Kelso to perfect arrange
ments for the procession. The line of march
decided on was as follows:
The procession to form on the corner OF
18th street and 9th avenue, and march to
Esd street; through 23d street to 9th ave-
