Montreal Canada, July 12.
The state Of Montreal to-day has beenany thing
but satisfactory to the friends of peace and order
The Orangemen decided, at the request Of the
National and Benevolent Societies. not to walk,
and went 10 church very quietly this morning.
They made no show Of insignia, and were careful
not to attempt anything calculated to excite their
Catholic neighbors. They abstained, in conformi-
ty with their resolution to rescind motion to
walk, from displaying anything offensive to the
Catholics and there was no sign Of hostility up to
10 q. m.
The Irish Catholic Union turned out in force in
the morning the branches occupying the streets
and receiving orders from headquarters in st.
Patricks Hall. All through ST. James street. and
Victoria Square men were picketed, all armed
with revolvers but offering no violence. They
were held in check at first by forces of volunteers
at various points, but as there seemed to be no
intention to make use of the military as the day
went on they increased in confidence, and be.
gan to talk of giving lesson TO the 0rangemen.
The Orangemen went to Knox Church and
heard sermon, which must say, was Of a rather
inAamatory character, from Rev. Mr.. Dontiet On
issuing, two women walked down Beaver Hall
Hill wearing Orange lilies They were assaulted
by a crowd who had been standing outside, and
the mob increased in violence, driving the ladies
into dry goods store. v.
The agitation was great, and the noted Irishman
F. B. McManill, exerted himselfgreatly to prevent
violence, but his good Offices were Intellectual The
crowd increased, and row became inevitable.
1t was impossible to protect the women and the
man who thrust himself forward In their defense

no assistance He tried to succOr the females who
had precipitated the disturbance, and at the foot
of the hill endeavored to make beadway against
the infuriated mob, some three thousand strong.
He was ofcourse, selected as victim, and against
him was arrayed all the force Of the opposing ele
ments. He drew q pistol, and menaced the whole
crowd, attempting to cover the retreat Of the la.
dies, but without effect. He saved his daughter
and tried to run for shelter from the shower of
bullets. When he got in front Of Clendenning's
Block he was surrounded, and tried 10 run into
Fertilization Lane. The long and short Of the
story is that he was killed by amulitude ofshots,
and left lying in the street amid the triumphant
shouts ofthe crowd. ,e
The scene was a most deplorable one The man
was wholly undefended, was surrounded by a
crowd in front and rear who had no mercy. When
the dead msnlay on the ground the crowd exult
ed over him. Some English came along and car.
ried the dead man away at the risk Of their lives.
While the fight was going on, a gallant fellow
named Henshaw attempted his defense. He was
seized and almost Kicked to pieces. THIS happen.
ed OF time when the English and Scotch were at
lunch. In the afternoon they attempted to pick
the lock Of Dunn's store where refuge by fugihves
had been sought, but without effect The police
behaved atroeiously, never attempting to savethe
young man, whose name Is Hackett, and who was
an agent for McKillop's Commercial Agency, He
was an Orangeman and member Of the Church
ofEngland. This has been the only murder Of
the day, and a most atrocious one It's, Not man
has been arrested yet. The police have been In.
active and the indisposition Of the Mayor 70 take
extreme measures to preserve the peace Is very
severely commented upon, The streets are lined
with armed mobs tonight.
/. At Point st. Charles a serious row Is going on
and trouble is feared in the city From all points
east and west, orangemen are puring in, and 1t is
probable th 1t great scenes Of bloodshed will be
experienced. The whole Of the volunteer force Is
out, but as yet the riot act has not been read and
they have no right to patrol This arises fromour
abominabe political system, which truckles to
the Irish Catholics for votes. Meantime the Gov
