DEITOCR.A.Y.IG' MISRULE.
ToE great city of New York was last
week the scene of another of those bloody
riots, by which it has been so often dis
graced. The difficulty arose \betypeii,
the Irishmen of the City, on the question
of the celebration by the Orangemen, of
the anniversary of the battle of the
Boyne.- Those celebrations are always
the occasion of very bitter feeling among
that class of-ohr citizens, andi they very
often give rise to disorder and bloodshed,
inhere the local government is too weak
or too corrupt to take proper recautions
to preserve the peace. It is certain, that
it would be better for the country if all
our adopted citizens would refrain from
celebrating important events connected
with the history of their own nations,
but as it is ono of the peculiar features
of our government, that the largest
liberty of speech and action should be
granted to every citizen, it is their right
to assemble in a peaceful manner, to
celebrate what ever they may deem
worthy of commemoration. In this
they should be protected, and the govern
ment that'fails to do this, would become
an object of contempt and reproach at
once.
But the' city government of New York
saw fit to forbid the celebration, and an
order to that effect, was issued by the
Superintendent of Police. Of course
this action received from the press of
all parties unmeasured condemnation.
„Governor Hoffman, who is an aspirant
for Presidential honors, saw at once that
this outrage on the rights of, citizens
Nrould recoil on himself, and also on the
arty who were responsible, and ho
gave orders on the day before the parade,
that he intended to protect the Or;ange
men in the celebration, with the whole
powier of the State, if necessary. The
parade came oil; and as a consequence
of this miserable shuttling between the
aiehoritics, the inoVwere emboldened to
attack, and the result is the killing of
nearly one hundred persons, and the
maiming of perhaps twice as macy more.
This is a Inirrible chapter in the history
of a great city,, and it tells a fearful tale
of the imbecility and treachery of Demo
cratic rulers.
In the very darkest days of rebellion,
this mob of New York city rose against
the officers of the General Government
who were engaged in making the draft,
and for three whole days the entire
country trembled at the prospect of re--
hellion in a, loyal — State. , Too Demo
cratic
Mayor of the city, and the Demo
cratic Governor of the State were power
less, and ,to a great extent •indiflerent as
to the result, except so far as it inter-,
fered, with the business of the city.
Fortunately for the country, just.thon
Grant hammered down the fortifications
of Vicksburg mid Meade hurled Lee's
legions from Ponn.;ylvania, and thus pro
-vented, to .Itonie extent, the evils that
would have resulted from that fearful
outbreak. BLit the people held the•truo
authortf responsible, and at the next ?lee-.
tion - Soymour was retired to private life,
and " tho Empire State was once more.
placed in the hands of ReiMblicans.
Under the administration of a Republi
can Governor there were no inithreaks,
although the city still remained in the
control of the scoundrels of Tammany
Hall. But under a Democratic Gover
nor, riot, violence and f 'bloodsht.•d again
appear. If the people of that good city
desire safety from the turbulent elements
that exist among them, they - must dis
card their present rulers, :and place their•
State and city in the bands of the party
of law and order.
Tire Suirrrso SEASON OF 1871 FAIRLY
BEens.—The shipments of peaches over
thoDelaware.and connecting roads s have
been rapidly increasing for the past few
days, so that the ordinary fitcilitios will
no longer meetlho demand for tramper
tatron, and the company will put on the
first of its regular peach trains, made .up
of.dars especially adapted, this' busi
ness; and run at express sbeed, '.to-mor
row.
Yesterday the regular trains 'carried
twenty car loads of fruit; principally
peaches, to Now York, and ,fifteen, to'
Philadelphia. These shipments are TM;

for this early in the season.. The fruit
'is not yet, however, "really 'first-class. ,

Papers have gravely; informed their - read:.
ors "that the funding scheme was an
entire failure, that there were few or no
bona fide subscriptio - tts MUM : new - bends,
and that theiltulh of the't,7o,ooo,ooo was
taken by the banks." These statements
strike us as being very hasty and.ill4
considered. It' must be remembered
that no other loarclias ever boon put
upon the market under circumstances 'sq
disi'dvantageous. The debt created in
Europe by the great war between Ger
many and Franco almost completely
absorbed the ontiye wealth of those two
nations, and thus prevented.the foreign
I demand* for the new - government, mewl
ties • that., would certainly. It_amffisen
under other ciraumstancese:The: pro
digious • development •of railroad and
.other enterprises has thus far in
juriously affected it in this country
by throwing upon the money markets
large interest paying bonds selling below
their face value. Of course the cupidity
of money lenders has, for the time, given
these attractive but somewhat precarious
investments a preference over the mom
secure, but less paying obligations of the
government. This will, in a very short
time correct itself, and prudent mon
who desire safe investments will soon
begin to seek for the now bonds as they
heretofore sought for the former issues.
It strikes us that since the first of
March, when subscriptions were first
solicited, the funding of $70,000,000 of
bonds bearing only 5 per cent, on a gold
investment is no very mean performance
iu finaneiering under any circumstances.
The fact that the banks took the bulk of
,this amount has nothing whatever to do
-with the question _of the_success Of_the
loan. These seventy millions of new
bonds just canceled seventy millions of
six per cents., thereby saving $700,000
annually in interest to the government.
con-t,aken-by-individuals-the 2
result would not have been any better
for the government. It must also be re
membered that Mr. Boutwell holds in
reserve constantly enough of funds to
purchase $100,000,000 of the matured
bonds, and that the withdraWing or that
amount of old securities from the market
Would almost necessarily send the same
amount of money , to be invested in the,
new loan, and thus provide the means of
further and continuous reduction.
Doubtless, iu good time, this will be
done, and when it is the funding project
will be consummated speedily. Let us
wait on the government, and as we wait
throw no obstacles in the way of its re_
moving our burthens.

The Surveyor General then stated to
the Board that there -was a very con
siderable falling off in the payments on
account of unpatented lands ; whereupon
the Board, having taken into considera
tion the foregoing Act of Assembly and
the duties therein enjoined upon them,
directed that the Surveyor General fur

to the Attorney General for cases in the
'several counties, to be proceeded upon
by him under the aforesaid act, after the

"In regard to present issues il/13 recom

TH.IIIIO.ODEB CLAIM
:WA, !alto the following ooturannica

tient the West theatert.Beinalioaa
oftl?Mlth Mr./Tomeroy la Well_
acquain4d with the facts which;he here
'Products and We'submit_the, able artiele .
to the consideration of those opposed to
the payment of those claims :
An article which appeared iu the DM
aware county American of last week,
discussing.tho.objectionable measures or
the last Legislature, among which it
°lasses the appropriation to the claims
for war damages, does gross injustice to
the people of the border counties, in
charging them with disloyalty and in
hospitality. The right .of lho . bOrder
people tp seek indemnity for their lessee
from the Legislature, is a .fair,questiliii
for discussion. And while they have
probably only no equitable . right, based
on the Golden hub to "do unto others,
as you would that they in similar:cir
cumstances should — do unto yod,"
not_ necessary, in order to enforce the
negative view of the question; to-villify
and slander a brave and generous people.
Pretiousto the war, there was no pro
vision made in the Constitntiou or
Laws of the State, for the, payment or
war damages, just as there war no pro
visions intho Constitution of the United -
States for a dissolution of the Union, or
for conducting a war for its preservation,
and yet lOyal men never doubted the
poWer of Congress to enact measures for
the public safety, or for the suppression
of the rebellion. ,So that while the peo
ple of the border have perhaps .no legal
right for reiMbursernent for their !cases,
upon the State, they have an equitable
claim which the - Legislature - may honor
or not, just as they may see proper.. But
it is desirable that the whole amount
they actually suffered should be paid by
the' United States, whore it properly be
longs, and whore the claimants should
-havo - applied — beforeLthis,- and- thins-save
thfi Treasury of the State from any fur-
ther depletion account of these claims,
for there is little doubt of their ultimate
payment somewhere. As a constant
oppiug - of water upon - tystontry7lll,7lir
time, wear a hole, so these claimants,
who are now thoroughly organized, will
pio'ss for payment until 'success crowns
their efforts, and if defeated at Wash
ington, they Will return to Harrisburg,
and continuo their efforts there. "The
bloW struck at Chambershurg -was a
blow at the State," was a forcible ex
pression of Governor Geary In his late
special message ;but lie might have.gone
farther and said that it was a blow
aimed at the entire North. The rebels
had no special dislike to the people of
Cumberland Valley, more than they had
to our own beautiful Chester Valley, but
- Chamberstiurg was destroyed because it '
was a loyal Northern town, in retalia
tion, as the rebels said,. for property des
troyed by the Union army in the South,
and the whole North, was intended to be
humiliated and punished by its destruc
tion. Had the invaders entered Penn
sylvania through the adjoining county
Cecil, Maryland, instead of, as they did,
through Washington county, the same
punishment might have been inflicted
on West Chester or Modia, and then in
discussing the question of compensatory
damages in their papers, a milder tone
would probably be employed, the other
os being gored.
15/hon the writer in the American says
that the Union soldiers, when protecting
the' border, were charged two dollars per
loaf for bread, ten cents por glass for
water, and ono . dollar por pint for cher
ries, be wrote what ho could not holp
knowing was a deliberate falsehood and
* a
malicious libel, for the purpose of still
further poisoning the public mind against
the border people': Public sentiment, in
this region, is sufficientlyunanimous and
violent now against the payment of those
claims, without resorting' to such ex
tremely unfair means to stimulate fur
ther opposition. The State has already
advanced nine luindred thousand dollars
to the Chambersburg sufferers, for which
the Governor is instructed to demand
reimbursement from the United States,
and it is not likely the State Treasury
will be replenished by the receipt ofAhis
amount, if such wholesale misrepresen
tation should have any influence upon
Congress.
These charges of disloyalty and inhos
pitality have been made, before, but
never so boldly and audaciously as re
cently. As to the former the region is
quite as loyal, and always has bean, as
any other portion of Pennsylvania. They
furnished their full quota of volunteers
to the Union army, and respondettP to
every call made upon them for troops by
either the general or state gliverntuent.
There are quite as many disabled sol
diers, and quite as many widoaii and
orphans there as elsewhere ; while in
addition to all these horrors of war,
their buildings wore burned, their houses,
stores and mills were snokod and pillag
ed, and their live stock driven away.
All this was their ruisfOrtune, and not
their fault, and they may be the • inovi
nage hardships of war, for which the
State is in no Way responsible ; lint if so,
that is no reason why the facts of the
case should bo x , misrepresented, and in
sult and further injury Who:told union
the unfortunate sufferers. As to the
charge of a want of hospitality, never
was - vilar slanders penned, and the water
thoitrti.:lo tit° AMerican would dls-.
tingulsb himself if ho could produco a
case wbero provisions were sold, not pt
the prices ( - muted by him, but at any ix
trome price, while it 'hi susceptible of
proof that the people wore eaten out of
all their - provisions, wiiliout either .re-,
coining or expecting compensation. In
every community there aro Cormorants
who will take advantage of the necessity
of others to prey upon mid - fleece them,
aid there may have been an isolated
C 4813 of this kind on the border, but if
there was, it grosidiinjust to brand'
the whole population as sharks and
swindleis. The people of that whole
region are noted for4heir elegant hospi:
which they dispense with unspar
ing hands, which • all can testify who
havo - 11Yed or *dated - athoreigit — them.

have been enabled, "by their political

There is also in that city another class
of Irishmen not nedily so numerous as

and consuming hatred—the Orangemen.
They are Protestants, and take their

_districts or-in the localities where the
Irish reside •in - the ',greatest numbers.
:Among these groups: women wore most
conspicious by the .; vehethence With
which they denounced prangemon, police
and soldiers alike, aell children of both
sexes gathered 1_ aboWt them, ignorant
alike of their own danger and the deeps.
rate resolutions of those about them.
. ,
The men were gruff and silerit, evi
dently angry that their opportunities-for
pillage had been wrested from thorn by .
the enforced, action of the, mon whom
they had made Mayor , ' and Governor.
Numerous gangs of ruffians, six or eight
in,mimber, moved from street to street,
eager alike for fight or pillage. At the
several rendezvous -of the Inbernians
many bore rifles without' effort at Con
cealment, regardless of the policomcfii
on their beats, who made neat t.'
disarm them.- .
In the upper parkof the city the riot
ers began to 'hove southward at an early
-hour, ooinpollingall workmen on their
route to desist and join with them. In
ono or two instances movements wore
made; against the houses Of men who had
protected the Orangemen • during the
riots of last year, but as the rioters wore
Without leadership they gradually dis-
Portted before carrying their threats into
execution. Attacks were made by the
rioters..on ono or two' armories where
arms were known,to be stored, but the
resistando of a few detormjped police
men cowed the mob.
The rioters were vicious and fierce
enough for any-purpose, but it was plain
that they were about to organize what
they had boasted. Still their demOnstra
tions—wero' so threatening before ten
o'clock that, the police were compelled
to seize Hibernia Hall, and General
Sbaler called for a regiment of troops
from Brooklyn, whereas in Jersey Cit
all had boon comparatively quiet. While
the mob was without direction, divided
counsels almost wholly destroYed the
effectiveness of the troops and police'.
The police in the field behaved with
all the readiness that could be expected
or asked of them, and wore admirably
handled ;but it is not to the credit of
headquartdrs, but of the officers who
handled§Jhern in the field. They made
no glaring blunder, and behaved .with
snob daring that, while the troops were
actuated by - the mime spirit which actu
ated the police, it is a matter of fact that
they were most bunglingly maneuvered
in.forming the lino of march, andduring
the subsequent firing on the crowd.
About noon the fact became known that
the Orangemen had resolved to parade,
starting from their lodge ropmat Eighth
avenue and Twenty , ninth 'street, and
thither the rioters from all points of the
city 'began to concentrate, Many
marched in largo "bodies through the
principal streets undisturbed. A largo
police force had acted with gioat spirit.
But the rioters soon returned to the
places from which they had been driven
and prepared to 'renew their hooting or
to indulge in more violent demonstra
tions. A. few shots _were fired from
houses in the avenue before ;the proces
sion moved, the police in ono instance
returning the tire bytt single - shot. But
Nothing" really serious occurred until the
head of the lino reached Twenty-third
streot and gm Ocegornon vioro opposite 4.
Twenty-fourth a t.
Soon after the Orangemen - made their
appearance in the street, preparatory to
taking their place I the lino of march,
the mob in Twdnty- inth street began
hooting, and the pol co at once putthom
to flight . Subsequet tly Twenty-eighth
street was cleared in the same way, the
police previously being sent there, _and
these kept - the rioters at a distance.
Later in the day five regiments of troops
Marched to same point, and "by two
o'clock the entire brigade and a large
body of police had formed in Eighth
avenue, hemmed in all the cross streets
by an angry mob.
Here they wore fired upon from a tene
ment house on the corner of Twenty
fourth street; but not more than half a
dozen shots wore discharged -in all, rind
none of them apparently took effect on
the trdope or policemen. The 84th regi
ment, however, inimediatedly and ex
citedly discharged their weapons at tho
house and at the crowd in . the 'Aven . ho
and along the 'street . They. had pre
viously loaded with 12rt11,cartridge in the
open street, as'iC to intiminato the riot
ers. and tha effect of their ilro was
murderous.
At the same time the Ninth and Sixth
regiments, in the roar of the Orangernon,
began firing indiscriminately,- sweeping
TWeiity-fifth, Twenty-sixth, Twenty
seventh and Twenty-eighth streets, the
extreme roar firing a few shots into
Eighth avenue, into a platoon of police
men stationed at, Twenty-ninth street.
The troops of the . Sdith, Ninth and
Eighty-fourth Regiments, were, for a
moment, completely. demoralized and
broken. Their.firing,was as wild as it
was uncalled for, and ,wholly without
orders.„ .
They soon reclovered from their mo
mentary panic,'however, mid, reforming,
marched on again,, leaving a hundred 'or.
more dead and wounded - men, WoMen
and children •behind them. Tho. side
sfreetl, .from Twenty-fifth to Twenty
eighth streets; were instantly °leafed pf
all but - these unable - to fly, rioters
abandoning their friends without coin-
Imuction. They abandoned also the
conflict. No further attempt was made
to obstruct the march of the Orangemen
or their escort.
The. riot was suppressed by this single
xolley, and • the most ilesperite and,
drunken of the mob could not be induced
to 'resume the fight. - •

, l.' . • . ,
AS the Orangenien Wheeled into the
.avenue a single shot was'fired•from the
south-east corner of Twenty-ninth street.
It took he ono by surprise ; more were
expected. The column moved on and
was again fired at from the , corner of
TWenty-eighth street': " a largo. number
of young men were assembled here upon
the top of-a Wooded idled extending over
the sidewalk, and, thni instantly began
scrambling to jet within the house,
while the troops opposite threateningly
regarded them, 'and the policemen mai ,
est made a rush intohe door.
At the next corner was a similar col
lection of men Upon shod or Wooden
awning, assembled evidently for hostile
purposes. They wore warned to go in,
many of the troops pointing their gnus.
They retired hastily, and yet with defiant
expressions.
Another shot was fired from near
Twenty-sixth street, and stones were
thrown at ho procession, . and - then it
seemed as if a general street fight was
begun. The troops warmed with the
excitement of battle. The police hustled
all bystanders off the sidewalks, with
merciless clubbing in many cases, and
all along the line orders were shoutbd
to the people looking out from the houses
to close their windows.
There was a sudden slamming of blinds
from the first to the fifth stories of the
houses - in two'or three - blocks. Detach 2
ments of police made forays into the
side street ; driving back the angry mob,
and arresting' numerous Iliberinans
carrying pistols and ,other weapons.
When the Orangemen, were: opposite-
Twenty-fourth street the column halted
for a moment.
—7l
Irffinediately after the halt a shot was
fired from an upper' story of a brick
building at the north-east cornet: Simul,
`taneously shots were fired at the Sixth
Regiment from near Twenty-fifth street.
On the same side of the street' the
Eighty-fourth Regiment received the
first shot, and, in the confusion of the
moment, many or the men aimed at the
windows, as if expecting orders to fire.
' In au instant one gun was discharged,
and others followed in an irregular vol
ley along the line of the Sixth, Ninth
and Eighty-fourth Regiments, a few men
loading and tiring a second time. So
sudden was the occurrence that the offi
cers were taken I.)yr surprise, but as soon
as possible they rushed among their men
to stop the firing
The firing of the Eighty-fourth regi-
Mont was chiefly directed at • the upper
part of the house whence the attack had
come, but the sidewalk was swept also.
As soon as the smoke cleared, nine
bodies, one of thorn that of a woman,
Were seenlying extended and still upon
the pavement in front of the house.
The right wing of the regiment being
advanced about twenty-five yards beyond
Twenty-fourth street, the moo hi - that
part of the line fired across the sidewalk
at the south-east corner of that street
and the avenue. Hero .was a group of
about twenty policemen and, a few citi
zens. All - those, discovering that the
troops were aiming low, threw them
selves by common impulse upon their
bellies. However, a portly, well dressed
mau, Who was afterward ascertained to
be R. C. J. Latthnore, was instantly
killed, and after him Policeman Tolm
O'Connor fell dangerously wounded.i.
The firing over, there *was a pause of
several minutes, in which_ a fourth at
tack of the Hibernians was awaited,
while the troops were brought to an at
tention after reloading their guns.
' No regard was paid to the wounded
and dying for several minutes. The
terrified citizens were afraid to venture
out of their houses, and none of those
escorting the Orangemen could advance
beyond the lines to . give relief, on ac
count of the.imminent danger that other
shots would be fired by the I treacherous
and infuriated mob, and that the mili
tia would renew their wild volleys.
The situation at the crossing of Twen
ty-fourth street, where the rioters stood,
was 'terrible.. Before the eyes of
shore lay eleven prostrate bodies. Two
or three were piled together as they had
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 momenta, and then ulowly ciupt
to the door step, and feebly strove to
-raise; limeolf upon it, presenting, as he
, did, a Tull view 'of his ghastly injuries.
An aged looking man, evidently an
Irishman, had received a shot in the arm
and sat down on the stop and 'desimr
ately fared the troops in the midst of tho
firing, while holding his bleedlifig-arm
extended before him. Ho remained
