NEW YoRK, July 15.--Never, during
the hst twenty Years, has New Work
been moGe free nom disorder of all kinds
than during the past two days. The
terrible events Of last Wednesday have
taught the mob a lesson, that does not
seem likely to be soon forgotten. The
circumstances ahd incidents of the riot
continue to be the absorbing subject Of
conversation, and many additional de-
tails OF interest are given below:
The resolutions passed by Capt 10
seph II. Petty and the thirteenth pre-
cinct police, denouncing the eighty
fourth regiment for having fired without
cause, meets with Universal condemna-
ton throughout the department. 1t is
the opinion of every officer of rank with
whom the reporter has copversed that
the firing Of the military could have
been avoided but u few moments longer.
The crowd were pressing on the police
and military, and each moment missiles
and shots were coming faster and faster
from the housetops and the mob in
the street. That the soldiers ~refrainod
nom firing so long as they did speaks
well for their discipline and GOODNESS.
Inspectors Walling and jameson,
Cnpts. Cafrey, Burden, jeremiah Petty,
DeCamp, Helmo and others, who were
engaged are unanimous in asserting tIat
the military would have been compelled
to open fire within 4 very few moments,
and had Il general yolley been fred the
loss of life would have been very much
greater. President Smith and other
commissioners are indignant at the con-
duct of Capt. Petty, and charges have
been preferred against him.
Arrangements were made Yesterday
by the officers Of the Ninth regiment for
the funeral services of their late COM
rades, Sergeants Wyatt and Page. -Four
companies Of the Seventh, First and
Thirteenth regiments OF Brooklynu, will
also participate in the funeral services.
Il appears by the publication of u let
ter under the date of August 1, 1870,
that Mayor Hall sent a letter to Super
intondent Jourdon, advising the suppress
sion OF the proposed Orange parade of
that period, and taking substantially
the ground on which Order No. 81 has
been based.
All bodies al the morgue were identi-
fed. The number killed, thas far re-
ported, is ffty-six, five additional deaths
having occurred since Thursday night.
Ten companies Of police, Is men each,
will attend the funeral, tomorrow, of
Henry G. Page and Sergeant Wyatt, of
the 9th regiment.
The Mail says in regard to the riot:
All talk shout innocent and peaceful
spectators is nonsense. The Police Com
missioners have at headquarters nearly
two hundred revolvers and butcher
knives taken from seventy men arrested
during the riot. One Hibernian had
three immense pistols slowed away in
his pockets, and another had q knife n
foot and II half long concealed in his
coat sleeve. These arms were borne by
men in the crowds along the side of
the procession, and arc a sufficient proof
that the rioters were determined to kill
us many as they could,
MoRmsTowN, n. j., July 15.--The
~neiShbors Of Gov. Randolph, without
distinction Of party, serenadct him last
afternoon, when the Governor respond
ed rs follows:
I have every reason to Be grateful
when my public acts seem to have the
hearty approval of my neighbors and
friends, native and foreign rs to birth,
Republican and Democratic as to poll
tics, Protestant and Catholic as 10 relig-
ion. The truth is, and these recent
events clearly demonstrated it, that what
ever differences we may have as to Our
political opinion or religious faith, OF
whatever accident of birth may have
made us, native or foreign, we are all,
if We are as we should be, intensely
American, proud of the title and Jealous
OF any act by any people that may serve
to tarnish the honor or strike at the
privileges of our common countrymen,
AS Jerseymen, with great historic asso-
ciatlOns and memories, VIC shotlld be re-
creant to all our fathers contended for,
did not we attempt at any cost to trans
NIT our rights and privileges untram-
melled and unimpaired.
Whilst, during the recent troubles,
complete military preparation was made
to promptly and efficiently sustain the
civil power in case of need, and whilst
the military power would have certainly
been exercised to have protected at any
cost the rights of the humblost citizen,
let me say to you, who know me best,
that my great satisfaction tonight is
found in the fact that no serious use of
the military force was found necessary.
So greas was found to be the noble for
bcarance, patience and Christian tolcra-
tion'of II people of all religious and
political creeds, that the military force
was, on that occasion, as I trust it ever
may be, in full subordination to the civil
power-assisting, not controlling it
sustaining liberty by uplolding law.
Mr.. Polney and others made speeches,
commencing the Governors course.
Some of the rioters have been dis
charged from custody and others re-
L - - n-
leased on bail in sums ranging from $500
to $4,000.
Two more deaths to-day: Wm. Nc
grath and VIM. II. Lattimer, a well
known merchant Of Brooklyn, several
more deaths are hourly expected. Six
OF these are now lying in Bellevue Hos
pital, being hurt beyond al hqpeo Of re-.
coyery, Among these is Walter Rryor,
son Of the popular actress Mrs. J. j.
