FRIDAY MORNING. JULY 21, 1871.
Eiotekeit.—Tho dispatches report a very
excited Irish mass meeting in New York, Wednes
day night, over the riots and their melancholy
results. These events are sufficiently deplorable
without making them worse by foolish talk and
threatening. The denunciations of Governor
Hoffman by tbe Hibernians, on tho one Bide,
and of Mayor Hall, by the .Radicals, on the
other, are alike undeserved and ridiculous.—
Both manifestly acted according to their best
judgment—the Governor in defence of what be
considered a right, and the Mayor to avoid riot
and bloodshed.
Which was right in the matter, is a question
admitting of serious and honest doubt. Tbe
American feeling is generally in favor of the
largest liberty of speech and action; and, above
all, is averse to being deterred from any given
course l>y threat and menance. But it does ad
mit of grave doubt whether the Majestracy
should allow needless popular demonstrating on
entirely foreign issues, at the hazard of public
disturbance and loss of property and life. There
is a wide difference of opinion on this point
among intelligent men having no local interest
in New York, nor any bias in tho matter.
But there should and must be toleration un
der a popular government. Tho peoplo must
learn to boar and forbear. Whites and blacks—
Fenians and Orangemen—French and Ger
mans—Irish and English, in the United States,
must learn to submit to tho avowals of opposing
interests and opinions, and content themselves
with maintaining their own viows without for
cibly assailing their antagonists. This is tho
true Democratic platform. This is tho only
plan upon which we can possibly maintain civil
freedom.
Ladob and Wages.—Reviewing tho last an
nual report of the “California Labor and Em
ployment Exchange,” the New York Commer
cial Advertiser says it is evident a groat battle
has been fought on tbe Pacific shore between
Labor and Capital, and Labor has been obliged
to surrender, so far as to yield up the point of
its natural and inevitable antagonism to Capital
and to concede practically that it must not op
erate upon the plan of the highwayman, but
mu'it bargain and trade on fair and equitable
principles. What is the result of this conces
sion upon labor ? The absnrdity of all (he stri
ker's arguments is displayed in tho fact that the
California savings banks show at this time
thirty millions dollars' deposits to the credit of
the working classes in that State—a sum here
tofore unprecedented. It is not disputed that
there may be individual and exceptional casesof
hardstiip, resulting from illness, death or dissi
pation ; but taken as a mass, the laboring pop
ulation of California were never in so prosper
ous a condition ; and this is the answer to the
false and ridiculous pleas of trades-unions that
Labor must striko or maintain itself in a strik
ing condition in order to save itself from ruin
by the aggressions of Capital.
“Limebick.”— A correspondent at Eufaula
who fails to send his real name, by the by,
writes us that the communication sent the Tjx-
EOBArn and Messenoeb over the above signa
ture, and published as original matter in Tues
day’s issue, was copied, word for word, from the
N. Y. Herald, of a late date, which the correspond
ent gives, but which we do not now recollect.
We don't like being imposed upon in this man
ner, but while newspapers aro printed there will
always be plagiarists to palm off the products of
other brains as their own. We catch one of these
chaps occasionally, and it makes him refresh
ingly mad—so mad, in foot, that he nevor tries
the little game—on ns, at least—again. If
“Limerick” has been at this small business
we’ll venture a lively bet that be won’t mix the
Teuegbapb and Messenoeb up with it any more.
We say “if,” only beoause we have not been
able to find tho issue of the Herald referred to,
and thus settle the question beyond peradven-
turo.
The Aboijtion of Gband Jubies.—Grand ju
ries have been abolished in tbe State Courts of
Wisconsin by an act of tho Legislature whioh
went into effeot July 1. In the United States
Circuit Court, held at Oshkosh, Judge Miller,
in delivering his charge to the grand jury of
that court, took occasion to comment upon this
law, and in strong terms expressed his regret at
the change. Judge Miller reviewed the history
of the grand jnry system and the objects for
which it had been instituted, and said that the
people of Wisconsin would have reason to de
plore the abolition of grand juries as a great
pnblio calamity. He also said that the fathers
of this Republio, if alive to see the gTand juries
abolished, would oonsider the inhabitants of
Wisconsin a degraded people.
Needs Something.—Th*e new machinery of
the Fostoffice at this point seems to need greas
ing, or something els 3. Certainly it don’t work
with any remarkable amount of smoothness,
just at present. Two or three times lately we
ti ave received the mail intended for the Chris
tian Advocate, the Farm and Home and Burke’s
Weekly, while ours went to the office of those
publications. Possibly new spectacles or spel
ling books, or both are needed.
Nobthkbn Peach Trade.—It is said the Del
aware Peach Growers’ Association will, this
year, send to market 3,315,000 baskets, and
Pennsylvania 4,000,000. A basket is about
half a bushel so contrived as to look like a
bushel. Long Island and New Jersey have
ceased to be important peach producing dis
tricts. The peach now centres in Southern
Delaware contiguous to Chesapeake Bay and
along the eastern shore of Maryland.
Lauba Faib and Lydia Thompson.—A writer
in the Capital who has known Mrs. Laura Fair
a good many years says of her personal appear
ance : “If Lydia Thompson were a little taller,
more rounded and fuller in form, had dark eyes
and lashes, and greater wealth of hair, she would
bear a striking likeness to Mrs. Fair when at
the zenith of her charms. Without tho changes
the fair Lydia still closely resembles her, in
manner as well as person.”
Fresh Pineapples.—This delicious fruit is
now ooming upon our market, and epicures are
correspondingly happy. We oonfess to a weak
ness for them, and Felix Oorput, round the cor
ner, has found it out We had some very fine
ones yesterday, the flavor of which still lovingly
lingers upon our palate, causing our lips to
smack his praise.
Murders Pardoned.—In our list of pardons
by Governor Bullock, yesterday, the first item
read as follows: “Murders, including fifteen
counties, 56.” The word counties was a mis
print. It should have been “commutations."
A number of the recently graduated senior
class of Williams College, have sailed for the
Newfoundland banks in Gloucester vessels, one
or two shipping as common hands for the “ex
perience.”
A blind ox, recently sold in Minnesota, broke
from the inelosnre of its purchaser, swam a
river, and walked twenty miles to its old home,
guided by “instinct.'
The Greenwich street elevated railway, since
its transfer, is recovering, and threatens to be
a good investment,
San Domingo Again.
The Philadelphia Enquirer, a leading Radical
Journal, prin's a letter from San Domingo,
dated June 2Gtfa, which is well calculated to ex
cite attention and remark. According to his
statement the surrender of the DomiDgo an
nexation project of Grant, means simply and
only a waiver till after the election. Meanwhile
a strong naval force is kept there with instruc
tions to back Baez against all foes, foreign and
domestic. The very last mail steamer brought
out the following instructions to the American
Naval Commander, from the Home Department :
“While your force is temporarily reduced yon
will be especially vigilant in protecting the
present Dominican Administration against all
assailants, whether foreign or Domestio, and, in
disposing your force, conform as far as practic
able to the wishes of President Baez.”
Under these instructions the American ships
of war have been put at the service of Baez,
and the crews are daily drilled with a view to
land service in order to assist in repelling BDy
assaults on Baez.
The necessity for these provisions and orders
arises from the fact that Baez is extremely
odious tot he people, and the leaders of the hos
tile factions are combining against him, and
would drive him out at once, but for fear of the
American ships. His so-called army amounts
to a rabble of less than eighteen hundred men,
all told, as the Commander-in-chief assured the
writer; and these “troops” have jaot been paid
for months, and now receive only a single ra
tion of plantains per day.
Meantime, Baez has been sustained by the as
surance that before the m onth of July is out,
he shall receive the $150,000 rental for Samana,
which Congress refused to make an appropria
tion for, and this promise bnojs"np the sinking
hopes of Baez.
Since these measures for annexing Domingo
to the United States have ffieen in progress,
Americans have become so odious to the San
Domingo population, as to be nusafe on the
island. The writer says that out of the twenty-
five white Americans, outside of Government
officials, who resided on the island a year ago,
all but two have thonght it necessary to consult
their personal safety by leaving for tho United
States; and tbe natives manifest their extreme
hostility to our people by assaulting them with
deadly weapons whenever a chance to do it
safely turns np. Such is the character of thiB
now American protectorate according to Radical
authority. The writer winds up with the fol
lowing tribute to the salubrity of this “Grand
American Sanitarium.”
The weather hero is intensely hot, and wo be
gin to fear ravages of pestilence. Some one
has aptly said that “the history of San Domingo
is that of a cemetery.” In 1795 the British
landed 9,800 troops. The following year this
force was increased to 22,450, with a powerful
naval squadron to co-operate. In December,
1797, only 3,000 men remained alive, and Ed
wards, in the history of the West Indies, tells
ns that at the evacuation soon afterward only
1,100 remained alive In 1802, as we leant
from Thiers’ history, Napoleon I. landed here
32,000 men, mostly veterans of Egypt, sustained
by a squadron of twenty-five sail-of-the-line.
Before the year 1803 was over thirteen general
officers were dead, and only 12,000 men re
mained fit for duty. In later days the Span
iards buried 1G,000 men, lost by disease alone.
Shall we not learn a lesson before sending to
this national graveyard our own sons and broth
ers?
Mr. Akerman In North Carolina.
We see by a dispatch in the New York Tri
bune of Monday, that Attorney General Aker-
man has been rampaging down in North Caro
lina. On Sunday last he made a speech in Wel
don as the dispatch says to a “goodly” audience
“consisting almost-entirely of negroes and rep
resenting a large portion of this State.” We
are a littlo astonished that the amiable Attor
ney General should have selected Sunday for
his prelection, but so the dispatch states it:
“Weldon, N. C , July 16.—Attorney General
Akerman spoke here to-day,” etc., eto.
This is the way wo account for it: Akerman
was bound down to Robeson county to see how
Lowery is coming on, and stopping at Weldon,
regaled himself on one of those execrable din
ners for which that place has a world-wide ce
lebrity. The black and greasy knives—the
dirty table-cloth—the stringy beef—the sobby
potatoes—ihe black coffee—tho dingy bread,
eto., all operating on that immense natural res
ervoir of bile with which Master Attorney is
endowed, stimulated eructation to such a won
derful extent that immediate relief must be had.
Accordingly, he rushed from the table—seized
his hat and encountering at the door the usual
collection of straggling niggers who congregate
there, on Sundays especially, to see the “o’yars,”
he proceeded to disgorge himself at once on the
Democrats of North Carolina in a manner be
coming his best conceptions of what was due
the dignity of a Cabinet counsellor and the
chief law officer of the crown.
In this speech he virtually promises the ne
groes that if the people of North Carolina should
amend their constitution, as some of them talk
of doing, it shall be set aside at the point of the
bayonet. We should do injustice to Akerman
to suppose he could have made such a pledge
unless excited by a Weldon dinner or half a
pint of the famous Weldon extract of com.
This part of his speech was telegraphed to the
Tribune as follows:
“I have been asked, in case the proposed
Convention should assemble and provide a new
Government for the State, and the present
Government should refuse to be displaced, and
a collision should arise between tbe two, which
one would the Government of the United States
maintain ? I cannot answer. I cannot under
take to say what will be the mind of Congress
or of the President in that unhappy emergency.
I will remind you, however, that the Supreme
Court of the United States has pronounced,
through the mouth of Taney, that ‘it rests with
Congress to decide what Government is the es
tablished one in the State.’ (Luther agt. Bor
den, 7 Howard, 42.) And I will express the
opinion that CongTess, having provided, in 1867,
for the establishment of a lawful Government
in North Carolina, through the action of her
own people; having afterward approved the
Constitution which her people ratified by a large
majority; having recognized the credentials of
that Government, in admitting members from
North Carolina to seats, will not suffer that
Government to be overturned in 1871, except
by proceedings that are well founded in law.
I will also remind you that the some Court has
pronounced in tho same case, that when a call
is made on the President to protect a State
against domestic violence, growing out of such
a collision, it is his duty, under the law which
Congress has made, to determine which party
is the lawful Government, and which party is
insurgent; and it is my opinion that the pres
ent National Executive, finding two so-called
Governments in the field, will uphold that one
of them which Congress had reoognized, unless
he found that it had been lawfully superseded
by the other.”
And underneath this paragraph is telegraphed
some oompliments to the speech, such as that
“throughout it was an able, statesmanlike ef
fort" which would satisfy every body that Aker
man is a “thorough-going," “advanced Repub
lican,” a point we dare say no Radical ever
doubted; for admitting that Republicanism, as
they interpret it, consists in a rancorous ani
mosity to law and to one's own species, no man
is more advanced in this particular than Mr.
Akerman.
Proof Positive.—The Commercial Advertiser
says an Orangeman was staggering home last
Sunday night, singing on the way that well
known Slogan “Croppies, lie down.” A Hiber
nian unfortunately met and knocked him down.
Picking himself up the Orangeman demanded :
“See here, my friend, did you mean to insult
me ?’’ Whereupon the Irishman, for an answer,
knocked him down again.
“That’ll do,” said he, once more regaining
his perpendicular and walking off, “That’ll do,
I’m satisfied that yon did 1”

Of the flood at the Langley Cotton Factory
and the Bath Paper Mills. Tuesday morning,
and the damages therefrom, the Chronicle and
Sentinel, of Wednesday, says:
We regret to chronicle a most disastrous oc
currence at Langley and tbe Bath Paper Mills,
by which two most flourishing manufacturing
enterprises have been badly damaged. Briefly,
on yesterday morning, about three o’clock, the
immense dam at Langley Cotton Factory broke,
and the contents of a pond of water, covering
some six hundred acres, swept away. This
enormous quantity of water was precipitated
into the pond of the Bath Paper manufactory,
and the dam there was unable to stand the
pressure, and went down in a few minutes. The
combined waters of tbe two ponds then swept
onward, until they reached the track of the
South Carolina Railroad, near Horse creek,
where half a mile of trestle work and embank
ment were undermined and destroyed.
The damage done to all parties is estimated
at about fortv thousand dollars. The Langley
Factory has lost between twenty and twenty-five
thousand dollars by the breakage of tbe dam.
But the heaviest damage will be found in the
time which it will take to complete the repairs.
It will be four months before the factory can be
placed in running order again, and during this
time fully two hundred operatives will be thrown
out of employment. The factory oommenoed
work only about two months ago, and this early
suspension is universally regretted.
It is estimated that the Paper Mill will have
to expend about fifteen thousand dollars in re
pairing tbe dam, and a good many hands will
bo left without employment.
We quote as follows from the same paper of
same date:
Another Road fob Augusta.—Tbe Columbia

The Constitution, of yesterday, makes the fol
lowing centre shot at Bullock, taking as its text
Bullock’s late letter to Scott, chairman of the
Ku-klux Committee:
The Governor states his “pecuniary interest
would have been greatly increased had I (he)
never consented to participate in the effort to
carry out the Congressional policy of recon
struction.’’ If we are to take the tax digest and
income as evidence of pecuniary interest, the
Governor never had any since he has been
South until very recently; for, up to last year,
he had never paid any tax, State, county or city,
in Georgia, except an execution for double poll
tax and cost. Now he revels in wealth like
Croesus. Whence the change ?
The Atlanta Sun, of yesterday, has the fol
lowing :
A Taliaferro County Homicide—Two Years
in the Mountains of North Georgia —Some
time during the year 1869 Alexander H. Evans
killed Jesse Nunn, both then living in Taliafer
ro county, in this Stale. Evans escaped, and
was beard of no mere. Some time ago, the
services of Messrs. Rasbury and Ed. Murphy,
professional detectives of this city, were engaged
to hunt him up, and on Monday the prisoner
was brought to this city, and lodged in the
county jail. He was found up among the
mountains in Dawson county, in this State,
where he had purchased and fitted up a nice
little farm, and had moved his family there.—
He had, no doubt, long since concluded that
his detection by the authorities was impossible,
and that they had lost sight of him forever, and
could remain there without being discovered.
He will be carried to Taliaferro county for trial.
The Constitution reports the following result
of a habeas corpus case tried in Atlanta, Wednes

TTaufas Corpus Case.—Yesterday Judge Pitt
man, Ordinary of Fulton county, had a habeas
corpus case up before him. Anthony Brown,
colored, petitioned for the writ, and was repre
sented by Messrs. Finley and Robinson, attor
neys at law. Anthony was convicted at the
July term of the District Court of larceny from
the house, (stealing a watch from B. Herman)
and sentenced to pay a fine of $100 or go to
the work gang for twelve months. Judge Law
rence discovering that he had no authority to
sentence Anthony for twelve months the next
day, in open Court, corrected the sentence and
made it six months.
It was claimed by the petitioner's attorneys
that the sentence was illegal and void, and that
the Judge had no power to amend the sen
tence after recorded on the minutes of the
Court.
District Attorney Irwin, contended that the
writ of habeas corpus did not lie in this case,
but that certiorari was the mode; that the Or

a court passed in pursuance of the verdict of a
jury.

The Savannah Customhouse Defalcation.—
A Courier-Journal’s Washington special, of
Monday, says:
Collector Robb, of Savannah, is now attempt
ing to shove the responsibility of the late defal
cation in his custom house from his own shoul
der to those of an ex-collector, one James John
son. Robb informed the Treasury Department
that the loss occurred then, and intimates that
it was so well covered up that its discovery was
made impossible until now. The Treasury offi
cials think this a very strange story.
The Philadelphia Age argues the municipal
question very pithily, thus:
City debt under Democratic administration,
$19,000,000; under Radical administration,
$50.000,000; taxation under Democratic rule,
$1 50 per hundred; under Radical rule $5 40;
facts are worth more than Eu-klux stories.
“Old Pat”
Below will be found an original letter of this
old hero, whoso headlong flight over the “stone
stairs,” and exploits in the wolf cave, have so
long delighted our juveniles. The letter is
characteristic, and shows the bull dog propensi
ties of the general:
(copy.)
“Palms’ Mill, Sept. 7, 1777.
Dear Sir—I received your favor of the 6th
—observe the contents. I have received no in
telligence of the enemy’s fleet in the river yet,
or to the eastward, but expect to hear from
them soon, upon which I shall despatch an ex
press to you immediately. Gen. Schuyler writes
me the 2d September that our army is at Sara
toga—that Burgoine has left the Grants, and is
coming down with his whole force, and that our
army must retreat further down towards Albany
in order to be reinforced.
“I cannot deliver any tents, agreeable to Gen.
Washington’s order, without first having a re
turn of vour division, and of the number of tents
in it —for tho some they may want, yet, on the
whole, there may be a surplus.
“With esteem and respect, I am your obedien
humble servant, Israel Putnam.”
“P. S.- The eastern militia are turning out.
Think if Gen. Washington was here, ’twould
be a good scheme to march a body of troops
and militia east, and come ’round on the back
of Burgoine, and, in case the enemy don’t come
up this river, I am for attacking them in their
own quarters on York and Long Island, and in
stead of eternally dancing after the devils from
one end of the continent to the other, faith, I
am for making them dance.”
“To M»j. Gen. Sullivan.”
Reading tlie Riot Act—Firing upon
a Mob.
Mayor Hall, interviewed by the Evening Tel
egram, says:
Mayor—There is no such thing as a riot aot
in this country, in the sense in which you use
the term. That is an error of the publio. This
is a most important point, and I trust you will
quote me accurately on it.
In England the assemblage of a mob—even
an armed mob—in the public streets constitutes
only a misdemeanor. The reading, of what is
known as “The Riot Act,” that is, a special act
applying to the continuance of such assem
blages, makes what was of itself only a misde
meanor a felony. After this act has been read
continuance becomes a felonious act, and tho
military can use- their rifles. Here we have
laws which make such riotous gatherings felony
without the reading of any other aot. The
“Riot Act” in England is an old law. but there
is nothing corresponding to it in this country.
Reporter—And what corresponds to this pre
caution of the English lawmakers with us ?
Mayor—Tho order to fire on a disorderly mob
in this country is entirely in the hands of the
commanding officer, and of course no suoh order
would be given were it not probable that a
bloody riot would ensue if such a course were
not adopted.
Reporter—Is it not a fact, Mr. Mayor, that
in the Astor place riots, in May, 1849, a Riot Aot
was read ?
Mayor—Yes.
Reporter—How, then, could a riot act be
read if no such thing existed ?
Mayor—Well, no such aot does exist. The
law relating to riots was read at that time, but
it was only as a warning to the mob that they
were in danger of being shot down if they did
not disperse. You must bear in mind another
distinction with regard to the reading of the
Riot act. In England, where such a custom is
in vogue, this distinction is usually made:
When the riotous assemblage is confined to one
place, the Riot act is usually read aloud, so that
the people can hear it. When the mob is not
confined to one place, but rushes from one
street to another, then before the soldiers fire
a halt is made. The Riot act is only supposed
to be read for the people by a “fioto juris,"
after which the military officers are at liberty
to give the order to fire. No one hears the
act read, and yet the condition is fulfilled.

The Last “Swell” Marriage.—The Phila
delphia Ledger, of the 15tb, says:
An Anglo-American wedding took place in
London, a fortnight ago, in which one of our
young Philadelphia ladies was a principal actor.
Miss Frances Butler, youngest daughter of the
late Pierce Butler, Esq., of this city, was mar
ried on the 29th ult., to the Hon. and Rev.
James Wentworth Leigh, Vicar of Stoneleigh,
and the third son of the late Lord Leigh. The
marriage ceremony was performed at St. Thom
as’ Church, London, by the brother-in-law of
the bridegroom, the Venerable Archdeacon,
Lord Saye and Sele. The bride was attended
by eight bridesmaids, four of whom were Eng
lish and four American, among whom were
Miss Wadesworth, Miss Low and Miss Pringle,
and was given away by Rear Admiral Thomas
Turner, U. S. N. Among the large and brilliant
assemblage of spectators, were the mother of
the bride, Mrs. Frances Anne Kemble, Dr. and
Mrs. Owen Wister, Mr. and Mrs. Pratt McKean,
and the Misses Ingersoll, of Philadelphia. After
the ceremony tbe bridal party were entertained
at an elegant wedding breakfast, and the happy
couple departed, on a visit to the country seat
of one of the relatives of the bridegroom. The
festivities of the day were closed with a ball
given by Lady Leigh, in honor of the occasion.
How Vance is to Get His Seat in the Sen
ate—Under date of July 17th, the Washington
Correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette, writes
as follows:
Friends of the impeached and self-banished
ex-Governor Holden, of North Carolina, assert
to-day that they have effeeted an arrangement
with the United States Senator-elect, Vauoe,
and his friends in that State, whereby it is
agreed that Holden shall go back to his home in
North Carolina, and rest there in peace, under
the protection of Vance and friends, and that,
in return for this protection, Holden nnd his
friends have obtained a promise from the Rad
ical Senators, who heretofore opposed Vance
taking his seat in tbe Senate, to withdraw their
objections, and, in pursuance of this, Vance is
to have his seat in the Senate at the next ses
sion.
Had the Legislature of North Carolina, acted
with due wisdom and discretion and elected an
eligible man Senator, there would have been no
occasion for any such “dicker.”

Eatbquaees.—There seems to have been an
extensive quaking of Northern earth yesterday
in New England. In Concord, New Hampshire,
the shock was lively enough to ring the church
bells.
The Russian army is said to be nearly two
million strong, and the German army still bigger.
