The Irish Riot in New. York.
THE O&ASGEXEH'S PKOCESSION.
SLAUGHTER IN THE STREETS.
Fifty-six Persons Killed aad a Large
Nasaber Wouaded.
On the first day of July, 1690, a bat
tle was fought at the fords of the Boyne,
a river in Ireland. It was a fight between
Catholics and Protestants. A member of
the Scotch Stnart family governed the
Kingdom. History records him as King
James II. He was an ardent Catholic
partisan, and favored that church beyond
all others. He did his utmost to again
place Great Britain under the power of
the Pope. He carried his favors to such
a degree that the Protestant element of
his subjects turned against him, and or
ganized a movement for his overthrow.
To further this end they invited a Hol
lander, a protestant, who is known in
history as the Prince of Orange, and who
was married to James' daughter, to come men to stop the firing. " .; 1

about ninety persons. At their head
was their marshal, Johu Johnson, mount

pieces : next the master ot the lodge,
James D. Askin, and after him the other
officers. The colors carried by Patterson
Tese were the Stars and Strioes. with I
tie inscription, "True Sons of Liberty ;
Lodge No. 22, A. P. A." A banner
was also carried bearing the words,
"American freemen fall in !''
General AI. Varian and staff arrived
upon the ground at this time, in advance
of the regimeuts detailed for escort duty.
The excitement both within and without
the lines of the police greatly increased
at sight of the troops. In about half an
hour the column was formed and began
tbe march. The windows and roofs of
the houses in the vicinity were occupied
by people overlooking these preparations.
The approach of tbe troops bad been
greeted with faint cheering from some
quarters, heard londest when the Twen
ty second loaded their pieces with ball
cartridges, bnt a sudden stillness . gener
ally prevailed : the very air seemed op
pressed with a sense of impending blood
shed. - Tbe Orangemen were pale,
thongh determined ; officers of police
and militia hastened to and fro, regula
ting the movenieut of the forces, show
ing as they did so a consciousness that
serious work was before them.
As the Orangemen wheeled into the
avenue a single shot was fired from the
S. E. corner of Twenty ninth street. It
took no one by surprise : more were ex
pected. The column moved on and was
again fired at from the corner of Twenty
eighth street. A large number of joung
men were assembled here upon the top
of a wooden shed extending over the
sidewalk, and they instantly ' began
scrambling to get within the house,
while the troops opposite, threateningly
regarded them, and the policemen near
est made a rush into the door.
At the next corner was a similar col
lection of men upon a shed or wooden
awning, assembled evidently for hostile
purpose. .They were warned to go in.
many of tbe troops, pointing their guns
They retired hastily, and yet with defi
ant expressions.
Another shot was - fired from near
Twenty -sixth street, and stones ' were
thrown at the procession, and then it
seemed that a general street fight was
begun. ' The troops warmed with the
excitement of battle. The police hust
led all bystanders off the sidewalks, with
merciless clubbing in many cases, and
all along the line orders were shouted to
the people looking out from their homes
to elose their windows.' " j
' There was a sudden "slamming of
blinds from the first to the fifth stories of
.v. . i i "a' mi.i - tv--
zom powmm w two or urea snw. jsw
Uctitnents cf police made forays into the
side streets, driving back the angrj mob,
and arresting onmeroaS' Hybernians car
rying pistols and other weapons.1 f When
the Orangemen were opposite Tsrcnty
fuurth street, the column halted for a
moment. - n,- . J. 'i u r..a .
. Immediately after the halt a shot was
fired from an upper story of a brick
building at the N. E. coraer. - Simulta
neous shoots were fired at the Sixth Regi
ment from near Twenty-filth street" On
the same side of the stieet the Eighty
fourth Regiment received, the first shot
and in the confusion of the moment,
many of the men aimed at the windows,
as if expecting orders to fire. 1V
Iu an instant one gun was discharged,
and other followed in an irregular volley
along :be line of the Sixth, Ninth and
Eighty fourth Regiments, a . few ( men
loading and firing a second time. ' So
sudden was the occurrence that the of
ficers were taken by surprise,' but as
soon as possible they rushed among their
walk at the southeast corner of that
street and 'he the avenue. Mere was a
group ot aooui twenty policemen auu a
few citizens. All these, discovering that
the troops were aiming low, threw tfaem-
selves bv common impuUe upon their
tentiou after reloading their guns. ,
No regard was paid to the wounded
i of the iminent danger that other shuts
would be fired by the treacherous and
infuriated mob, and that the militia
would renew their volleys.
The situation at the crossing of Twen-
j ty-fourth street, where the rioters stood,
j was terrible. Before the eyes of all
there lay eleven prostrate bodies. Two
or three were piled together as they hail
fallen. A dead woman was stretched
across a dead man : a man with a fear
ful wound in the head, which covered
his face with blood, writhed in agony for
some moments, and then slowly crept to
the door step, and feebly strove to raiae
himself upon it presenting, as ho did a
full view of his ghastly injuries.
An aged-looking man, evidently an
Irishman, had received a shot in the arm
and sat down on the step and desperately
faced the troops in the midst of the firing,
while holding his bleeding arm extended
before him. He remained until relief
came, fixedly glaring in silence at the
Orangemen A lad crouched against a
cartwheel, just beyond the corner in
Twenty-fourth street, appeared to have
received some hurt. The women appear
ed at the windows above making signs of
anguish and bewilderment, looking alter
nately down at the bodies and then at
the troops and policemen. --
Presently one and then another of the
friends of the victims stole out aud
touched them to see if they were still
alive, but still hastened within. '. One
young Irishman, however, remained and
walked to and fro wringing his bands and
makina piteous aad incoherent cries of
grief. From time .to time he clenched
bis fist and seemed to be making desper
ate resolves of vengeance, and then would
stop to look at one and another of the
bodies.
Tbe surgeon of one of tbe regiments
came with commendable promptitude to
attend to the wounded. At last when
the mob had been driven far back on the
side streets, the work of removing the
dead and wounded began, and the col
umn remained at a halt. Gen. Varian,
indignant at the action of the Eighty
fourth Regiment in firing without orders,
ordered it to the rear, and brought up one
half of the Ninth to take its place at the
left of the Orangemen., . . ..
( The procession then moved on. The
passion of the mob appeared , to have
greatly subsided. ., Tbe sidewalks . were
lined with people, the windows of many
of the bouses were crowded, and at many
points workingmen in large numbers sus
pended their labors, to witness , the pro
cession, t But tbey were all silent... . ,
The line of march was through Twen
ty-third street to Fifth avenue, down the
avenue ; to iTourteentb street, through
Fourteenth, street to Union Sousre, thence
down fourth avenue to the Cooper In-
- - "
nnine.
The bouses in Twenty-third street, be
yond Booth's Theatre, were all closed
and the blinds drawn.' At the Fifth Av
enue Hotel two or three thousand, well
dressed people were . assembled,, and
cheered the troops, the policemen and the
Orangemen. St' 7-
Along the avenue people showed them
selves freely at their windows, and there
was no sign of any disturbance in the
dense crowds lining the Bidewalks. The
movement to the Cooper Institute was
unattended by anjv incident except the
frequent .singling cut and arresting of
armed and scowling Hibernians. ,
Excellent service was rendered by the
police ofSuers, who were in citizen's dress
and mingled with i.he crowds along the
liue of march from the moment of start
ing until Cooper Institute was reached.
Twenty-one armel and disorderly Irish
men were arrested., put into the prisoner's
squad and taken along with the proces
sion. Several of the men were provided
with Colt's navy revolvers, and all had
one, aud in some cases two pistols. 1
The names of some of those arrested
were as follows : Henry Deery, Patrick
O'Mahnsey, James A Lynch, Drew,
Frank Kiell, No. 28 Greenwich street;
McDermott, Sliermall, Billiugs, Jersey
City ; John I'o -ers, Patrick Green and
others.
, The language of these men was ex
tremely vio'ieot. They were all evident
ly members if a Hibernian society and
comprised some of the worst specimens
of the mob e'lement.
As the precession turned into Fourth
avenue a sit igle shot was fired in the
crowd in front of the Union Place Hotel,
bat it did not appear to have been aimed
at the Orangemen or their escort. The
inmates of a large house near the corner
of Tenth street, lustily cheered the pro
cession af it passed, this being the only
friendly greeting it received in this part
of the ro ute.
Thousands of people were assembled
in the st rcets about the Institute, and
seemed ia a highly excited condition,
though completely overawed by the dis
play of force. The e'ores and saloons
were closed all along the Bowery, the
proprietors dreading the paroxysms of
mob rioters. The Orangemen quietly
, disbanded here, doffed their regalia, and
were soon lost in the crowd
The tr jops remained at rest until near
ly sutido wn and then received orders to
j return t their armories. The Thirteenth
Kegimenf., of Brooklyn, marched up
the Bowery and met Gen Varian's com
mand 80 m after its arrival at Cooper In
stitute. The police force detailed to
escort t'jc Orangemen cousbted of the
second ind third divisions, numbering
over seven thousand men, in command of
inspect' jrs Walling and Jameson.
. There was no flinching upon the part
of the police at any point in tbe per
formances of their difficult duty. Inspec
tors V ailing aud Jameson continued in
active conference and co operatiou during
the critical period proceeding the arrival
of the militia They also persoually
arrested four persons wihin the police
lin 3s about the Orangemen's Hall, who,
on examination, were found provided
with, pistols and other weapons.
Between nine and ten o'clock A' M.
Superintendent Kelso was informed by
representatives of the Orange societies
that they bad determined on availing
themselves of tbe Governor's promise to
protect them and would parade in tbe af
ternoon, the line of march to taken up at
two o'clock.
On the receipt of this intelligence In
spector Walling and two hundred and
fifty men were sent in stages a large
number of which were kept in readiness
all day in front of Police Headquarters
to Twenty-ninth street and Eighth ave
nue. ' One of the Orange lodges having
their meeting room over Stiner's tea
store, on the comer. A despatch was
also sent to' Inspector Jameson, directing
him to form a junction with Inspector
Walling, which he did, making the com
bined force five hundred men.
Almost tbe firt shot that was fired by'
the mob at Twenty sixth street struck
Henry C. Page, business manager ' of
Fiek's Opera House, and a private in
Company K. Ninth Regiment killing
him instantly. Colonel Fisk ran to save
him from falling, and received a blow
with au iron implement abeve the ankle,
which disabled him. He was taken
away iu a carriage by Jay Gould, and
was attended by the Ninth Regiment
surgeon, Dr Pollock.
The locality of the bouse to which
Fisk wvs taken was kept a secret, as tbe
mob threatened to take the life of any
of the members of the Ninth Regiment
whom they could catch, especially that
of Colonel Fisk. r ., i: , ; ;: , ,..
The total number of killed is reported
to be 56, and between 100 and 200 are
wouaded. ' The exact number ef wound

on the niggers and Northern settlers up
towards Garrelstown, knowin that, on
I their return, they'd all stop at Bascom's
for a drink, and that ef they'd bin suc-
cessful in their hangin and burniu they'd
be in good humor, and ready to adopt
anything I shood suggest. It wuz a very
short but salUfactry coLsultasheu. There
wuz some objickshums on the part of a
few to what they called an abandonment
uv Diuiocratic ideas, but Bascom settled
their hash in very short metre. He re
mark that it wuz necessary that the of
fice be in the hands uv his friends lor ob
vious reasons. He wanted pay and he
knowed uv no other way to git it. He
beleeved in the fullest freedom uv thought
and ackshen, and that every one should
express himself untrampled, but helyoost to be, the iltegility uv the athendJ
coodent abide a idiot. If there wuz any
one iu that assemblage so stoopid ez to
differ with him on that question, let him
make himself known. No sicb man
shood ever git a drop at his bar, never ;
such a one wuz not deservin uv even the
commonest necessaries uv life. Several
who bad riz to their feet to object dropt
as. though they had been shot.
It wuz determined to hold a public
meetin tbe next nite at the church to
make a public endorsement of Vallandy
gnra's idees.
Es the prinsipal objict uv the meetin
waz to convins the Republikins uv the
doubtful States that the Democracy uv
the South really accepted the situashen,
and ment, in ded earnest to recognize
tbe great prinsipal uv equality, I arranged
to hev all the niggers uv the CoruerB
present and saved lor em tbe best seats
in the hou.'e. Joe Bigler and Pollock
cum uv course, which I coodent help.
I opened the exercises by makin a
short speech ez I took the chair. I re-
joist that the time hed fiually arrived
when the lion and lamb bed layed down
together, aud a child wuz the lead in uv
I knowed our colored fellow-citi- j
em
zeus hed bin despiteful! y voosed. and
and that due respect had not bin aliuz
paid to our fellow-citizens uv the North,,
but that time bed now passed, and
hoped forever. The Democrlsy uv the
North, through Vallandygum, hed spbk,
they bed accepted tbe situashen, balle
loogy, and from this time henceforth and
forever there wuz nothin but peece t

Yoonited Stales recognize the legality j
nv all the amendments made to the Con- i
stitooshen dooring and sinee the late on
pleasantuis, and that they recognize and
most heartily acquiesce iu all the results
nv the war ; that they not only with
draw all thetr opposishen to yoouiversal
suffrage, hut pledge theirselves to see
that our Afrikio fellow-citizens hev notj
only this but all other rites heretofore
enjoyed excloosively by the Caacashen."
I put the question ez to the adopshen

nanimously. It would hew bid well hed

And with a strength and activity with
