SCENE AT THE CLAY STATUE.
Nvw OetzASs. La, March 14.-The scenes
q, and about the Clay statue this morning
brought to mind very forcibly and NO
lently the peculiar and ominous uprising
of that September day sixteen years ago.
Ten o'clock had not yet struck and a vast
multitude was already congregated on
Canal street, almost filling up the large
snace from curb to curb on each side OF
the boulevard. Just on the stroke OF ~
o'clock a shout went up from the people
stationed at st. Charles street. and num-
Der of gentlemen, among whom were MI
w. s. Paterson, Mr.. John q. WicKline'
and others who signed the call. came
marching along and began walking round
and round the base of the Clay monument
FALL nj"
"Fall in fall in !" was the cry, and the
crowd formed procession, which went
around the railing several times. hur-
rah for Parkersoni" "Hurrah for WICK
lifeIn "Get inside the railing and give US
a speechl" These and other cries made up
a confusion Of noises, among which an
angry tone was scientifically predominant.
The space inside the railing was occupied
by q dense drowd. Come down rom
those stepsi" was the request, and let
Mr. Patterson and Mr.. WIcklife get
there"
DETERMINED MULTITUDE.
The crowd obeyed with alacrity, and
soon the speakers held their positions OF
vantage. A rush was made for the narrow
gate. and in a minute there stood q packed
mass of humanity around the statue OF the
immortal Clay. The view from an altitude
was imposing. Not bad word escaped
the lips of the gentlemen who had mount
ed the steps. They stood motionless, sur
yeying the surging multitude, from whose
ranks there cleaned faces full of resolve
and determination. There were fully 3,OOO
neople within ear-shot, and more could be
seen struggling, pushing, aud running
here and there on the neutral ground. The
street-cars we're unable to pass through,
and vehicles Of oil descriptions were
halted.
