NEW YORK, July IO.-The air is
rife with rumors OF impending trouble
between the Orangemen and their
hereditary foes on Wednesday.
There was an excited meeting of the
Irish Confederation yesterday evening
at which resolutions deprecating any
attempt to Obstruet and prevent the
Orange procession was voted down,
and the majority was in favor Of viO-
Ience. Scenes of violence are reported
to have occurred in several places in
which meetings were held for the pur-
pose of organizing against the Orange
men. These disorders we're caused by
the attempts Of some to counsel mod
Grafton and only such action as the
law allowed. At the meeting at Hi
hernia Hall, O'DonOysn Rosa was
assaulted and hustled from the speak
er's stand while making an appeal for
peace and order.
The Orangemen are determined to
carry out their programme for a cele-
bratiou of their anniversary. They
expect to be Joined in parade by about
1900 members of the American assOci-
alton. and by about 1000 other sympa-
thizers, so that they will have alto
eether about 5000 in line. They eX-
press a calm determination to parade
regardless OF opposition, but seeking
no guard, though prepared to repel
attack.
The Grand Master and other prom
inent members have secretly received
many threatening letters, warning
them that If they parade it will be at
the peril of their lives.
The Roman Catholic Irish Society,
chiefly of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans, of this city and vicinity, num-
Der II, 1000, all of whom are believed to
be preparing to parade.
Mayor Hall was in consultation with
the Police Commissioners yesterday,
and clOseted with Superintendent
KelsO for several hours. It is under
stood they had under consideration
the subject of the Orangemen's parade
and police arrangements for that day.
It is clearly understood that If the
Orangemen persist in their determine
ton to parade on the 18th inst, the
police authorities say it will be their
duty to give the proceSsiOnists all the
protection in their power. It is feared,
however, that the police force avail
able for this service is totally made
Quate to the emergency, and that, in
addition to the police, several regi-
ments of the National Guards will be
called out to preserve the peace and
protect the procession, if attacked.
The general opinion is that few of
the hOt-headed will attempt to pre-
cipitate a collision during the day, but
that the great body Of Irish Catholics
will lend the premeditated riot any
is not for a moment be-
lieved.
1t is stated that Peter Cooper has
recently been seriously i'll, and that
he has gone from the city to remain
until autumn.
1t is stated that a delegation from
the Hibernian Society left last night
to await upon General Grant and re-
quest him to interpOse his authOri-
ty to preventa breach of peace, which
is represented as certain to occur
should the procession take place. The
Hibernians took with them a supply
OF legal documents, affidavits, ETC., SO
.
cial knowledge of the threatened dam
ger, and to be empowered to act if he
considered it proper occasion for his
interference. There are great hopes
expressed by the Hibernians, that If
the city authorities will not act to stop
the demonstration, that the President
will forbid it by proclamation.
In the course of his sermon at the
dedication of st. Faul's Catholic
Church, in Harlem, yesterday, Arch
bishop McClosky alluded earnestly to
the threatened Orange demonstration
on Wednesday next. He said, 1--WE
all know the danger which threat
ems the community during the en-
suing week. The newspapers have
agitated the. rumOr until it has
reached our ear, and it is even said
they are placarded on the walls. Ev-
tells US that systematic and
combined effort is being made to eX-
cite an inter- Catholic movement. The
procession announced TO take place in
our streets on Wednesday next is In
tended by the participants to produce
the end spoken of. Therefore, l ear
nestly exhOrt every Catholic to be-
ware Of even going near that Orange
procession on Wednesday next, If it is
to take place at all, ard l hope it is
not. l hope that the proper authori-
ties will see the wisdom of preventing
it. With all my soul entreat
you, Irish Catholics, to make no cOun-
ter demonstration of any kind; do
that would give your ene-
mics a chance they oovet to divert
to you the odium which the Orange
men will be sure to bring upon them
selves if they be allowed to cary out
their unprovoked programme of silly
ofiensiveness unmolested. They are
not worthy of recognition. Avoid
them as you would any other pest.
Let those Orangemen alone" After
stating that should conflict occur the
Catholic cause and the Irish name
would suffer, the BisElop continued:
81 warn all parents, husbands and
brothers to 60 to their employments
and attend to their ordinary avOca-
tions as usual on Wednesday ne xt
and return peacefully to their houses
in the evening. Let Catholic moth
ers, wives and sisters remain at their
houses and attend to their home du.
ties, ard allow no unworthy curiosity
TO draw them near this Orange pro- |
cession.
