whereby several innocent persons lest their lives
and the metropolis was thrown into CONSERVATION,
shows that underneath this subject was deep and
traditional dispute OF which we Americans are as
ignorant as If some partisans Of the Jacobins and
Bourbons among our French population had
determined to have riot in our city.
The daily newspapers Oh Monday and Tuesday
mornings raised this subject into prominency again
by their generally unanimous dsapproval Of the
action OF the head OF the police in forbdding the
Orange procession. Tens OF thousands Of people
who were without sympathy for the Orangemen. and
who looked upon their intention TO parade as mis-
chleyous and unwarranted, began to feel that If 1t
had come 10 such pass that one set OF our citizens
could ntimdate another set in the matter Of public
display, there was an end to tolerant governments,
and the city OF New York must TALL into disgrace
among the other cities of the country. twas the
American impulse, therefore, to insist that the Or
ansemen should parade-not SO much because they
had any reason to do so, as because they had been
threatened. This agitation eliminated In Governor
Holman making decisive and rapid descent from
Albany to New York on Tuesday night and calling
a great council OF authorities TO his room at the
Clarendon Hotel

At this council were present, first, Governor John

Next Superintendent of Police Keso: q fat, norid,
robust man, with q large mustache and strong
pbysio.nomy, short, clOse-cut hair and all those
other indications by which we recognize a man Of
administration and tact, and, In crises, lerocty,
Keso was a Tenth ward boy, native to our city and
his original impulse was to meet rioters OF any Kind
whatever, and IN whatever number, with the strong
arm OF his conslaDulary.
Ia this he was thoroughly supported By all his
men, and The municipal police were earnest in
their desire ior the combaI yesterday the best dis

The next character in the Clarendon House council
was General McQuade. son OF an Irishnan with
decided Mileslan features and Jolly fat face, short
HAIR dark, bristling muStache square head, hair
trimmed close, after the manner OF pugilist, and
small, searching eyes, which appear to dance hall

Finally Coone, Van Buren, assists at this council

Those people at a distance who attribute the gov

leadership might nave changed their opinions by
looking i'll upon this little select assemblage OF men
gathered on the eve of such peru as dangerous
class once aroused might make in great city IKE
ours. There was no talk OF evading the emergency.
On the contrary, everybody appeared 70 have that
feeling Of relief which follows declared Intention

and summon their officers to early meeting at their

the great mass Of our Inhabitants were TRANQUILITY

SCENES IN HiBERNM HALL.
