SAN FRANcBco, July %, 1877.
To The People OfSan Franciseo;
The lawless and atrocious acts Of the
vicious and criminal classes in this com.
munity, committed last evening, compel
me again, and for the last time, to warn
all good citizens against appearing on
the streets IN large numbers and groups.
The object Of this caution is that the In.
nocent may not suffer and the street and
public places may be left free and unob.
structed for the operations OF the police,
military and committee Of safety, who
am assured will see that order is main.
tanned at all hazards.
Al. BRYANT, Mayor.
No further leniency will be shown the
mob. The most careful estimates Of the
fire last night will reduce the loss to
$4,000.

ALL OR NONE.

ST. Loup, July %. Three large crowds
Of strikers, roughs and bummera started
out this afternoon to finish the work Of
yesterday, closing the manufactures.
The three mobS, subsequently sub.divid,
nd into thirty or fourty small
squads and spread all over the north and
east parts Of the city and closed all the
mills, factories, china shops, brick yards,
and other places where men are employed
that they found working. Itis estimated
that three.fourths Of the manufactures
in the city are now closed. Some have
closed on account OF the high prices Of
coal, that article now commanding 80
cents per bushel.
The city will be able TO put from 500
TO 600 we'll armed men in active service

tention Of the Government 10 throw a
strong force along the line Of the Balti.
more & Ohio railroad as far west as the
Ohio river for the purpose OF opening
and keeping that road open to freight
and passenger traffic. The Pos,office and
War Departments are thoroughly advised
Of the situation.
An industrlously circulated report that
an engineer had said he would take no
troop trains out Of Washington caused
a crowd to gather at the Baltimore &
Potomac Railroad depot to see the troop
train depart for Philadelphia. At the
appointed time the train departed amid
cheers from most Of the crowd. The
troops consist OF the ID, 81 and 9Th
artillery and two companies OF infantry,
with two gattling guns and caissons.

Tie Mayor informs Us that organiza'
tion among the employees Of the various
manufacturing establishments, for the
protection Of the properties in which
they are interested, is progressing slowly.
The tramp element, although seemingly
scarce in our midst, is lying around on
the outskirts in considerable force. Quite
a large number are along the line Of the
G. & P. Il. R., between Bridgeport and
the ouhkirts Of Bellaire; also on the edge
OF Marshall county. While they have a
wholesome fear OF our increased police
force, there is no doubt that any occasion,
such for instance as a serious alarm Of
FIRE, would call them into the city ready
to avail Themselves Of any opportunity
for misChiei that might arise from any
unusual excitement. For this reason
organization ought to be thorough and
Systematic in order 10 be available. Let
it be known that the employees Of the yO'
ious manufacturing establishments have
enrolled themselves into organized COM
panies, and that upon an alarm Of fire
they will be found in force about their
factories and the cowSrdly inCendlary
will not dare TO approach them. The
same may be said for thorough organiza.
ton in all parts of the city and among all
classes.
The moral power Of thorough system
in our preparation Tor any emergency will
be very great. 1t will almost amount to
aninsurance against any emergency OF a
serious nature arising. We should not
rest too confidently on the we'll known
numerical superiority OF the Order.loving
and law.abiding among all classes Of our
citizens, for our neighbor Pittsburgh
when aroused from her first stupor Of
astonishment was found 10 have an over.
whelming force that could have crushed
in moment the diSorderly element Of
her population, had 1t been organized and
efficiently handled. She was without
warning and therefore unprepared for the
terrible emergency until she had been
swept with hurricane Of fire. WehavC
been fOrewarned, it becomes us to be fore
armed.

We have reliable information that the
editor Of the ISTELLIGENCER, through
personal motives, is lending himself to a
scheme, at the instance OF outside par.
ties, that is rather disrCputable. The In.
TELIIGESCER man, on the say Of parties
who are prejudiced, is taking the names
ol number OF citizens OF this city who
favor the workingmen, but are opposed
to violence, and because Of their political
complexion, intends bringing their names
forward US instigators Of violence. II
there are any such they should be pun.
ished, but we have heard the names Of
parties mentioned in connection with Mr..
CampbelPs scheme whom we know to be
the reverse, and who cannot be Classed US
Communists" simply because the INTEL.
LiGENCER has a spiIe sgainst them
Register q yesterday.
We reproduce the above from the local
columns ofthe Register for the purpose
of denouEciDg it as utterly false and ma
llcious. We have never thought OF pre-.
pairing such list and never expressed
such an idea, nor has any one suggested
it to us. We are at a loss to surmise
what motive should have actuated the
local editor Of the Register in making
such a statement, unless il be the TACT
that he himself has been reported as cx-
pressing sentiments Of very reprehensi-
4
bic and incendiary character with refer
ence to the existing troubles at Pittsburgh
and elsewhere. We have heard Of such
remarks IA coming from him, and from
an authority above suspicion.
It is not necessary TO prepare and pub.
lish list of such persons as give utter.
anceS 10 incendiary sentiments in this
crisis OF the public welfare. They will
IN all probability make Themselves sufFi.
ciently known and remembered among
their. friends and acquaintance to an,
swer all the ends OF retributive justice
hereafter in the way of an indignant pub
lie opinion.
As to the idea OF identifying any mar
with the mob spirit now prevailing or
account Of politics, it is both absurd anG
aIrOcious. Men stand on their records
aa.hey now make them, and not as they
may have affiliated politically. We hAv,
