DALLAS, SATURDAY, AUG. S.
MOB LAW.

The Bulletin of Wednesday has the
following article concerning the victims
of the mob riots in the city of New
York:
"The final count up shows that the
killed and wounded in the New York
riots on the 18th ult. amount to 1873
Their nativities are given by the Irish
Democrat as follows: Australia, l; Gu
ba, i; Scotland, s; Germany, !;
England, Z; United States, 10; un>
known, 81; Ireland, Is. The question
occurs Was it worth the sacrifice of
all these lIves-of those not of the mob
as well as of those who were-to assure
to two hundred men the privilege to
march in public procession? We think
not"
With an inherent vindictive feeling
against the Orangemen, it is not sur.
prising that the editor of the Bulletin
should take the view he does of the
matter under consideration. The great
question is not whether it be profitable
at present to sacrifice over hundred
lives for the privilege of allowing a
small number of persons to join in a
peaceable procession? but is it right
for portion of our citizens to say that
any class of persons, whether citizens
or not, shall not have the privilege of
celebrating day hallowed to them by
many sacred remem brances, without
being in danger of being disturbed by
mob, who may not think as they do
concerning the event they celebrate?
Living in land of liberty, let us not
prohibit any class of persons from en-
joying any day which they may wish to
celebrate, no matter how obscure or
ridiculous it may look to u.s. Any at
tempt to enforce this principle of reIigi,
Gus intolerance is remnant of despo
tism which should never be tolerated
in our country, as it is in direct antag-
onism to the great principles which
underlic our form of Government.
