| mOrgue-The Hospitals.
NEW YORK, July 14.-The. effects of
the riots Wednesday are rapidly disap.
pearing from the streets. The neighbors
hood of the principal scene of disaster
lis still thrOnged with morbid sight-seers,
who interest themselves in viewing places
where the bullets struck, aud where vic
tins fell-in scanning the gouts of blood
that still sprinkle walls and side walks.
Distressed throngs seeking absent
friends timidly venture into the dismal
precincts of the Morgue, and eagerly
seek admission to the various hospitals,
but otherwise the city is entirely free
from visible reminders of the fray. Con-
versation among all parties turns upon
the events of the day, however, and
opinions are as plenty as blackberries
regarding the right and wrong of the
| parade, and the action of the troops in
firing upon the rioters. On one subject
| alone everybody seems to be unanimous
that is, the magnificent performance of
the police.
Have Amy Rioters Been Arrested
The prisoners captured during the riots
were all brought up before Judge Hogan,
at the Tombs, yesterday, and though they
all swear to their innocence, they were
held for examination.
The List of Dead Increasing.
The list of the dead is increasing by
the death during the night of several
who We're seriously injured; and many
others, suffering from severe injuries, are
expected to die. Commissioner Manierre
has directed that an official list of the
killed and wounded be prep AIRED, but it
will he some time before it is complete.
be has directed DR.. Charles P. Russell,
Registrator of Records, to grant no GER
tlficste of death in the case of any person
who may have died from a gunshot
wound, or from in jury to the hesd, until
the case has been fully Investigated. 1t
is believed that, by this means, full list
OF the casualties will eventually be OBJ
tanned.
The Mob Disarmed.
The detective force of the Central office
and special duty men of the various pre-
cincts performed excellent work during
the riot. They searched over three hun
dred persons along the line of procession,
and look from them seventy eight pistols.
That no more pistols were fired on the
streets was due to this action on the part
of the detectives.
The Gallant Behavior of the Police
President Smith states that the Board
will soon direct the Superintendent to
Issue an order congratulating the force on
the gallantry and efficiency displayed by
them Wednesday. Ii is wonderful that
the force escaped with so few casualties.
Only one was seriously wounded, Patrol
man Murphy of the Twenty second Pre-
cinct, who was struck in the mouth with |
a stone, causing an exceedingly painful |
wound, and John O'Connor of the Thir- |
teenth Precinct, who was shot in the side |
Nth. sasv aaeos hall Rats- --A1---~-----y
W. Forbush, of the Thirty second Pre- |
cinct, who vas thrown from his horse
and had his knee dislocated, and num- !
Der of others received contusions more
or less severe, but not really worth |
chroniCliDg.
Not a single ARRAY since Wednes
day Night
From an early hour yesterday morning
the city has been unusually quiet. Nota
single sffray of any description was
reported at police headquarters since
midnight Wednesday. The seventh ward
police report that on Wednesday there
was not single affray or arrest in that
precinct.
The COrOneE's Inquest.
Coroner Young has taken charged of the
bodies of those killed, and has given
permits to remove the bodies of those
whose residences are known, and whose
friends will not be likely to spirit them
away before they can be viewed. by the
coroner's jury, in accordance with the
requirements of the law. 1t is more than
likely that one investigation will be made
to answer all, the same evidence being
used in each case.
The Conduct OF the SoIdiery.
1t is believed an effort will be made to
show that the troops fired needlessly and
without orders from their commanding
officers. Inspector Walling, who will be
q good witness on this point, is of opinion
that the firing would have been neces-
sity within ten minutes at the latest.
Showers of bricks and stones were thrown
from house tops and windows while pistol
shots were beginning to come thicker and
faster every moment. The mob seemed
to be gathering courage and strength, and
it would soon have been absolutely neces-
sary to commence firing.
Gen. Lloyd Aspinwall remarked last
evening that it was hardly worth while
to discuss the question, whether or not
the troops fired a mement too soon. 1t
was better, he said, to be''s moment too
soon than moment too late. Had they
waited longer they might have been
moment too late.
A large number of witnesses will be
summoned and the investigation will be
very thorough. 1t is doubtful whether
the INQUEST can be commenced before the
latter part of next week, and Coroner
Young also wishes the excitement to
cool down somewhat before he begins.
The Grand Jury.
The Grand Jury will adjourn to-day
subject to call from the District AT
tor1ey,s office to investigate, and RecOr-
der Hackett will sit next week to try the
cases of those arrested as rioters.
The Dock Commissioner has directed
Superintendent Westervelt to furnish
them with the names of those workmen
who. contrary to their orders, absented
themselves from work Wednesday, with
a view to their discharge.
TIE Arch-ConspiratOr 10 be Tried.
It is said that Z. II. Core, well
known leader of the Hibernian Society is
to be indicted for conspiracy to create
riot. Cores speeches to the Irishmen in
Prince Street Hall on Monday night were
of an infammatory character, and the
Grand Jury OF the Court of Oyer and
Terminer, which is now in session, intend
to f,uud an indictment upon them. 1t
is also said, that Core used his influence
with the Mayor to have the Orange pa
rade stopped, and that to effect this he
had circulated report that thousands of
Hibernians had armed themselves and
would prevent the parade at any cost.
The Grand Jury also, intend to indict the
rioters, caught firing at the procession,
for murder.
