The riot which occurred in Toronto on
Sunday last will bring to mind the l2th Of
July riot Of 1871 in this city only In the Toronto
caee the conditions were reversed, 1t being a
Roman Catholic procession which was attacked
by Orangemen while peaceably passing through
the streets. According to the Toronto Globe, a
journal which viii not be suspected OF doing in.
justice to the Protestant side Of the story, no.
thing could have been more unprovoked. Tho
procession was composed OF worshippers many
Of them women aud children, who after divine
service in the cathedral, marched first to st.
Pauis Church, and afterward to three other
churches, for the observance OF religious rites
pertaining TO the jut lice. They were accompa-
MED bya crowd Of rufiiuns who endcavored to
provoke n collision by shouts OF To hell with
the Pope !" and other insults, and these demon
STATIONS failing Of the desired effect, more de-
clded measures were adopted. After leaving
81. PatricKs Chapel, the third church visited,
the people In the procession found that their
passage through william street toward st. Ma
RVS Church would be contested by the mob,
whereupon they changed their route and took
another thoroughfpe. This however, did not
save them from outrage. At the Intersection Of
two streets they were met by mob who mani
tested a determination TO stop the procession,
ana began hostilites with volley OF stones. The
women aud children at once took flight In ter
ror, while the men stood their ground and re-
taltated by stoning their assailants. Several PTS
tolls were also fred. by the aid Of the 20 ice what
was left Of the procession was after long strug-
gle, permitted to proceed to st. Mary's Church,
but after leaving that II was again attacked by a
larger mob. And now It appears 10y dispatches
from Toronto that pacards have been posted
calling upon "Orange young Dritons to organ
ize, and the statement Is made that unless Arch
bishop LYNCH be persuaded to forbid the con-
templated pilgrimage Dext sunday, serious con-
sequences are apprehended. II the authorities
in Toronto permit such rioters to rule, they will
disgrace themselves In the estimation OF decent
folks everywhere. In these days, intelligent
people regard mob violence under the pretence
Of religious fervor with very little charity, no
meter what the name Of the religion which the
mob may profess To uphold.

JAY GOULD seems to be in a sad state of
disappointment. For some time past he has
kept the Tribune Engaged in the work of break
ing down the market price Of Pacific Mail stock
Thus on Thursday, September %, he said In the

next day, September "a, he reported That A" tho

The dignity Of Senator ALLISON, Chair
man Of the Commission appointed to treat with
the Sioux for the cession OF the Black Hnls, re-
ceiyed severe shock during the first formal
conference with the chiefs. In most persua-

Indians proposition that instead OF selling
their lands they should lease them to the Cow
eminent, so that the white men could come In
and work the mines, assuring them that II they
agreed to this ngement, when the gold and
other valuable minerals should be exhausted
the country would again be theirs to dispose o.
When this seductive proposal was translated TO
the chiefs. instead OF hearing a chorus OF ap-
proving bows" he was greeted with shouts OF
uncomfortable laughter from the whole body Of
aboriginal dignitaries. The idea OF the white
men ever consentne to surrender TO the Indians
a territory IN which they had once gained a
foothold, struck these not entirely unsophisti-
Gated children Of nature as a tremendous joke,
and It proved altogether too much for their pro-
verbal gravity.
