' Belfast, June 11.--The associated press , reporter, who was detailed to remain on | the scene of the riots, at five o’clock this I morning reported as follows: “ I remained ' ■ among the rioters all night. The greatest , damage in the way of wrecking and loot- ; ing was done along Hhankhitl and York i 1 roads. The lighting in both thoroughfares | was desperate and continued. The mob \ ; was composed of the lowest ruffians. Bay- 1 onets and the police had no terror for them, and in many cases I saw the mob in , ; overwhelming numbers press up against the bayonets of the police and drive them back. The only instances in which the ' police drove the mob at all, so far as i observed. were those in • which the officers in compact lines fired at close range rapid vollics of ' buckshot. Those the rioters could not J • stand against, and they were driven back, ! but even under such a galling tire the riot- • ers would drop to the pavements and rush ; upon the police while they were reloading. Fighting of this kind at such a close range ; as to be practically baud to hand was con- 1 tinued until 2 o'clock this morning, when ! twilight began to dawn and so many of the rioters disappeared as to leave a mob of unsuttieient strength to longer cope with the armed police who succeeded in dispers- • ing them. My observation shows that the j i mob of last night was composed of the | very scum of Belfast, i saw inembi.rs of t it throw paving stones weighing fifteen j to twenty pounds. 1 even saw the fiends hurling rocks at the gallant firemen who ; were imperelling their lives in attempts ! to save dwellings from destruction by j incendiary Area and helpless inmates from j horrible death. If anything else were i wanting to prove the character of tlie mob : : it would be furnished by the dozens of ! ruffians I saw during the night sneaking . away from wrecked or burning buildings | laden down with loot.

I The rioting last night was less dixi.strous than on Wednesday. After their day’s ' labor hud ended thousands of working people gathered hi the vicinity of Bowers hill barracks. They execrated the police and cried out, * We will h jve ten lives for i every one of our murdered girls.” Tic ; county pulici were then withdrawn and I'Wiiiri well known local constables wei** sent to reason with the mob. Tne latter demanded tin* withdrawal of.dl the j)olic.e. -Yrchdeucon Leon and several Ibxsiiyteiian olergymon after this implored the mob to disperse. Their addresses proved alto gether useless, and even while the clergy men were speaking the rioters kept tip desultory stone throwing at the police. One stone struck a divine square in the . face and hurt him severely. Captain Le- j strange, resident magistrate, who was present to counsel order, was struck on the | head by a brickbat. When the preachers ! ceased the mol) surged up to the gate of ’! the barracks and defied the police to come and take a square fight. Things went on ! this way till about 10 o’clock, when two troops of dragoons j galloped up. They were followed by 300 infantry. These men had been j under arms seven hours. The mob was for 1 the moment powerless with surprise, and ' dispersed. The runaways soon, however, became ashamed of themselves and re- i turned to the scene, warmly eheer- i ing the soldiers. The hitter had taken complete possession ■ of the streets around the barracks and cordoned them effectively. The mob real- I izing the impregnability of the police’s po- i sition. now departed in sections, cursing the pope, denouncing home rule and sing i ing ihe “Orange Lily” and “Rule Britan- J nica.” While all this was going on at Bowers Hill barracks a mob had taken possession of York street. They first concentrated in ! front of a wine store kept bv a Catholic tunned McKenna. The building was soon I seized and wrecked, and all of McKenna’s 1 stock of wines emptied in the street. The ' inoh then proceeded to Me Cl os key’s tav ern. ’file police had taken warning and got there first. A fight took place and was waged w : th desperation on both sides. The police fired twenty-six rounds of buckshot i at the rioters, but the mob finally drove i them away and smashed McCloskoy’s j tavern to pieces, distributing liquor to ' all who would drink or carry the ' liquor away. Several of the rioters were wounded in this light and were left heip- 1 less in the .‘.ticots by their comrades, who. maddened with liquor and excitement, rushed to the wnHc of wreck and pillage. A number of taverns were destroyed and nil their stocks of wine, whisky and beer ' brown out to the crowd in the streets v*. lie: drank it ravenously and carried it awn. in and buckets, in the latter h work scores of winch and children were iv.rnv •: *V* fii • the raiding lasted.

At times when the flames Hared high, the sight of uniformed officers scattered through the mob, tilling the street from house to house, each officer fighting on his own account, and all in the same dire* lion, every man shouting and cursing, the women and children at the windows shrieking and gesticulating was terrible. Finally, the police got together and car ried on their battle with buckshot. This eventually scatteied the mob, and the fire at MeCloskey’s was put out before it could extend. Me<7loskey and his family and a number of his Catholic neighbors were rescued from the fury of the mob by an orangeumn. who took them to his house and there gave them safe refuge. K ii v I it it <1.

Washington, June 9. -To-day was an other field day in the house. The republi cans, under the lead of Tom Bayne and Ben Butterworth, sought to make capital out of the attitude of the majority on the subject of the civil service, but their at tempt was a dismal failure. The impres sion prevailed that the democratic side was not as vigorous yesterday as it should I have been in refuting the false and seandal- | oils allegations of the opposition, but lo- duy they made ample amends. I SPRINGER AND DK'K TOWNBHKND | made admirable speeches in support of I the party’s position, and to show candidly that a ditterenee exists between the majority of the party and the president on this new and troublesome issue. They showed, further- j more, that tlie course of the ndministra- I tion hud been as near non-partisan ns it | gould have been, and several Instances were cited to prove it. These instances consist mainly in the large number of rc- i publics ns who have been retained in office I who are subject to removal at the pleasure of the president and his secretaries. But | the democratic speakers continued to make i the stupid blunder that they have been making all along by thinking that the 1’endleton civil service law protects any body in office or prevents dismissal for or without cause. The Pendleton law relates solely to.the means of getting people into office. Every man in or out of the classi fied service COfl.D BE BOUNCED TO-MORROW by the president and the department heads, and there is no authority, written or unwritten, that, could stay their hands. This is a fact so little understood that it is not amiss to call attention to it again. It was repeatedly asserted by Ueorgc H. Pen- I dleton in the senate when tlie bill was lie- ling debated, and it was only upon his I statement to this effect., Hint the passage of i t he hill was possible in the senate. It is i not the letter, but the alleged spirit, of Hie Pendleton law that restrains Mr. Cleveland from being a democratic president. Springer defended the president stoutly to-day, but gol Ids man laughed at all over the house when he j said Mr. Cleveland was not making as phil osophical a president as Thomas Jefferson | or James Madison. Spriugersenred a large | point, however, when lie said that since ‘ the days of George Washington there had ] not been as unpartisan an administration I os Mr. Cleveland’s. This is precisely j where the shoe pinches, and ii is the cause of the quiet talk alluded to in these ! patches a day or two ago among denim j in congress. I ABOUT ANDREW JAOKSON1ZINO I PKVK- I LAND. Democrats did not elect him to run the ! government according to the ideal of civil I homes most of the daj. The reverend gen- | Hainan returns to his humble pastorate not far from the base of the Adirondacks. I Therefore, by ton o’clock to-day the new I family at the white house bad started on its own account. nACK AT HIS DESK. At that hour, the president was again at his desk in the executive library, ready for work. The number of bills that have ac cumulated during his absence make a good loud for two men to enrry. They are not ho much in weight as fn bulk. Several hundred pension hills are among them. After writing several letters, visitors began to arrive. Samuel J. Randall was the first to call. Thus he became the first congress man who had an opportunity to congratu late the president on ids marriage. Sena tor Berry, of Arkansas, scored ils the first member of the upper house who secured audience. After these gentlemen, came many others, Secretaries Endicott and Lamar called before nine o’clock. An un married lady, with whom the secretary of the interior'had been well acquainted for several years, meeting him as no v.ns leav ing the executive mansion, said to him haiit.eringly: - "Now, Mr. Secretary, you must lie the next one of the administration to marry.” "That's for vou to determine," he an swered gallantly, and hIio laughingly an swer. d that then it was all settled. THK OKKIGIAl. RECEPTION. Mrs. Cleveland was probably somewhat lonesome to-day. Siie denied herself to all visitors. As early as half-past nine o'clock ladies began to arrive at the white house. It was with reluctance that several of them took tneir departure. About noon it be came evident that the young wife had con sidered her course very carefully and was following a distinct line of policy. Official announcement was then made that a state reception will be given In' the president and Mrs. Cleveland on Tuesday evening next, from nine till eleven, to which the cabinet, the judiciary .the diplomatic corps, the members of congress, the chief officers of the uriny and navy and the ladies ol their families will be invited. THE DEAR PUBLIC. On Friday evening, June 18, will follow a generul reception, to which the public wni be Invited without cards. Until after these receptions Mrs, Cleveland will not i.e at home to any callers. The sending of cards to members of congress marks an advance upon the code adopted by Miss Cleveland dm ing lieradmiuistrntion of the while house. Neither the president nor Mrs. Cleveland expects to leave the city again before the adjournment of congress. Nor will they result at "Pretty Prospect,” the country place recently purchased.
