NEW York, July l5.-Never during the
last twenty years has New York been
more free from disorder of all kinds
than during the last two days. The
Il rible events of last Wednesday have
learned the mob lesson that does not
| seem likely to be SOON forgotten. Cir.
cumstauces and incidents Of the riot
continue to be the absorbing subject of
conversation and many additional de.
tails OF interest are given. The resoiu.
tons passed by Capt. Joseph H. Petty
and the thirteenth precinct police, de-
nouncing the S4th regiment for having
sal colonization thr0Eshout the depart
ment. It is the opinisn of every officer
of rank with whom this reporter has
conversed that the firing OF the military
could have been ayerted but q few mo-
ments longer. The crowd were press-
ing on the police aud military, and each |
moment missiles and shots. were COM
ing faster and faster from house tops
and the mob in the streets. That SOL
diers refrained from firing go long as
they did, speak well for their discipline |
and GOODNESS. President Smith and
other commissioners are indignant ut
the conduct of Capt. Petty, and charges
have been preferred against him and
sergeant VIM Quinn and roundsman j.
w. Folk. who signed the resolutions. |
