~oRANGEMEN's oRsIE.
NEW YORK, July 12.-While the Orange
men were celebrating the anniversary OF the
battle OF the Boyne, at Elm Park to-day,
| they were attacked BY 500 Irish laborers,
whose anger had been aroused by expressions
l OF the Orsngemen insulting 10 their nation
atty and faith. the assailsnts used stones
and the implements with which they had
! been working, and the Orangemen defended
j themselves with their pistols. 1hos. Grady

| with a an whose name js unknown. -Four

Adams and S -muel Smith-were fatally in

, verely wounded. Policemen were summon
ed 10 the spot, who succeeded by a vigorous
use of clubs in q~uellIng the riot. Subss-
quently cars conveying OraDgemen down
town were attacked aud several persons
wounded and the cars badly dam sged.
Thomas Kane was mel in Central Park by
Orangemen and fatally stabbed. The affair

several shots before any attack was made Oh

Orangemen with spades, shovels and every
available weapon. The Orangemen used re-
y~olvers, with which they we're nearly all
armed. Capt. Hilme states that the work.
men were the assailants, and after 200 or 800

The fact that there are no Orangemen in
the city il often spoken of as highly crafty
ing, az their presence in any community
mus, necessarily breed bad blood.
"The number ia gradually diminishing"
remarked a gentleman yesterday, "aud the

R,v. Father Burke, who was here from
Rome 10 1871, looking alter the interests OF
the Dominican Order, was 'elegraphed for 10
the spring 10 go 10 New York and USE his
influence TO prevent a threatened outbreak,

there is a disposition to make such a law
even in this country"
