Th< n n w i s e efforts of a few individnals to make t h i an Irish question are unjust to m e n of t h e i o w n blood. T h e y profess to b e repelling slan ders o n our Irish citizens. "What slanders ? 2<< serious attempt has been m a d e t o identify oui Irish born population with the rioters, e x cept this o n e of their o w n . W e protest against all foolish efforts t o c o m m i t our Irish population t o sympathy with t h e rioters. Meetings of Irish citizens t o consider this question are preposterous. T h e y have onlj the same interest in the subject—no more, no less—as all other citizens. T h e dividing line i s between the orderly ©f all races and the disorderly. T h e disorderly happened to b e o n this* occasion of o n e race, b u t they were a very fragmentary portion of the num- ber of that race w h o live among u s . Irish born soldiers turned o u t a s promptly as any t o p u t down t h e m o b ; Irish born policemen were brave and faithful; the chief of Governor Hoffman's personal staff, on the day of the riot, w a s General McQnade, an Irish born Catholicv The Worid and t h e Tribune seem to look upon this sad affair chiefly as a rich m i n e of political capital. B o t h s h e d crocodile tears over the dead rioters, thinking thus t o catch what they call " t h e Catholic vote." T h e World, which i s always d o i n g harm to il3 friends, tells u s Mayor Hall h a s secured all the Catholic vote for himself, suggesting to the mind that this, and not the public peace, m i g h t have been the e n d in view of h i s P o l i c e order. It i s a gross insult to Catholics to appeal to t h e m a s b e i n g sympathisers with disturbers of the pnblic peace. T h e rioters w h o lost their lives were, i n this instance, from t h e peculiar nature of the excitement, specially of o n e race; b u t they undertook their unlawful work against the remonstrances of their fellows of the same race, and their death appeals n o more t o t h e sympathies of the lawabiding masses of their own race, than would the death of; a burglar, shot while breaking into a house, appeal t o the sympa- thies of good m e n w h o h a d b e e n born i n the s a m e country as the criminal. T h e Orangemen's ilemonstration had been accompanied b y disorder and violence last year, against which the authorities could n o t fully guard, because t h e outbreak was unex- pected. If this year they had been compelled t o o m i t their procession simply becanse they were threatened with attack, the peace of the State would have been jeopardized for years t o come. T h e successful m o b would have b e e n arrogant; law-abiding citizens would h a v e given way to undiscrimiaating hatred of all connected, however remotely, j i t h this old-world quarrel. T h e police order, if justified at all, came too late. T h e Orange procession, if improper, was j a s t a3 improper w h e n first proposed, a s it was after t h e open threats of the rioters. T h e order came s o late that the suppression of the pro- cession would have b e e n ascribed, o n all hands, n o t to the wisdom of tbe Police, but t o t h e dictation of a band of organized peace- breakers." Mr. 0*Conor admits the deliberate preparations for disorder. T h e calling out of t h e military was prudent, necessary. It was n o t an ordinary, impulsive outbreak against which t h e authorities h a d t o provide, but a premeditated riot. I t was organized lawless- ness, challenging the organized authorities' of the law. T h e trial had t o take place, then and there, or far worse evils were in store for all concerned. It would have been very impru- d e n t t o postpone the trial, and Governor Hoffman never did a wiser thing than to meet t h e threats of the rioters when h e did a n d as h e did. 2Jot a point was yielded to the mob. T h e procession marched over the route it had marked out for itself; and it did so unbroken and uninjured. T h e public at large have too healthy a sym- pathy with the men w h o suffered while in the discharge of duty, to spare m u c h for those a m o n g the crowd who were killed a»d wound- ed. T h e non-rioters w h o were killed owe their death t o their o w n imprudence in lend- i n g additional n u m b e r s and apparent strength to an anticipated m o b of rioters, b y their presence i n i t s ranks. A railroad track, crowded with r u n n i n g trains, would have been chosen b y a prudent m a n as a safer place. Four soldiers and one policeman were killed ; twenty soldiers and, as many police- m e n w o u n d e d ; and y e t m e n , w h o were securely stowed away, free from responsibility or immediate danger, would have u s believe it w a s a peaceable crowd, which would h a v e done n o harm, b u t for t h e military. A smaller proportion of so-called innocent per- s o n s w e r e killed than i n t h e Aator place riot, and a larger proportion of th» defenders of law and order were killed and w o u n d e d than in- any previous riot that h a s happened in N e w York. T h i s proves the formidable na- ture of the outbreak, a n d t h e necessity of the bloodshed which suppressed it. All accounts agvee that-scattering shots were heard before a n y of t h e military fired. T h e m o b was the first t o u s e fire-arms. M e n p u t o n the dan- gerous duty of maintaining the public peace d o n o t lose t h e natural right of self-defense.

The people at large, of every class, are rejoiced that the spirit of mob violence has been squelched; and they reserve their regrets for those who fell in the performance of duty as ministers of the law and protectors of the public tran- quility.

She is a woman of sorrows, and ac- quainted with many people who could but did not make her happy. Fate has been unkind. Men and time wait for no woman. Everything has been against her and so on and so on and 00 on.

The woman Stanton h a s explained t o ai interviewing representative of the San Fran ciscan press-why s h e sympathizes with the woman Fair. S h e has, it seems, "Iookec into the m i l d blue eyes" of t h e murderous prostitute and cannot believe she is bad. I i other words, the brutal assassination of hei paramour because h e resumed allegiance to his wife becomes insignificant, ia view of the interesting personality of the prisoner. T h e woman Stanton further said that the imprisonment of the woman Fail was disgraceful and that " s h e ought to have books, flowers and music." Thi3 l e d to some general remarks o n prison discipline. Of course ike woman Stanton disapproved it. S h e thought the jails should b e surrounded with fine "grounds and gardens," and that instead of having bands of music t o play in the parks wo ought to s e n d them to the pris- ons to play "for the unfortunate." All this is of course simply revolting. It would be sufficiently disgusting if tne woman Stanton were a morbid, crack-brained person, but she is nothing of the k i n d S h e i s p a t forward by the Woman's B i g h t s party as its best specimen of female strong mindedness and wholesome womanliness. A n d s h e shocks the conventional decencies by obtrusively avowing sympathy with a vile prostitute con- victed of the murder of one of the victims of her mercenary schemes. B u t there is in this a suggestion of something more important than the views of the woman Stanton and the character of the party of which she ! is a leader. Are not she and it the out- j growth of a false sentiment of the time ? ; Are not they the more flagrant and offensive ; results of a gradual demoralization of the wholo body politic ? Are they not the bloom- ing srarfaco nuisances which have their roots deep in the social soil ? Tho general prison criticism by the woman Stanton helps to explain her attitude toward the woman Fair. She (Stanton) regards crim- inals as not sinful but " u n f o r t u n a t e . " She would have them n o t punished but petted. Soft music should play for thorn while their appetites were tempted with deli- cate viands, and their artistic tastes, if they have any, should b e ministered to, and if they have non» pains should b e taken t o implant and culture such tastes. I n other words, the outlaws of society, members of the danger- ous classes w h o prey upon it, ought to b e bet- ter treated than innocent persons who are active i n good works. U p o n thi3 theory the. .murderer, the thief, a n d the prostitute become objects of tender interest who should be pampered rather than disciplined. Hold- ing such views it was quite easy for the w e m a n Stanton to embrace and weep over the woman Fair, n o t for the sake o f her physical and moral individuality, b u t because she was an illustration of a theory. W e are willing to believe that Stanton, Anthony &. Co. do not appropriate with alacrity topics and p3rsons that are nasty because nastiness is grate- ful to them. Nastiness is a practical pro- test against conservative decency and Stanton, Anthony & Co. are at war with conservatism i n every shape. I t is n o t surprising there- fore, that they find themselves identified ' with much that i s socially fonl, because it i s in antagonism to the established order of things, of which order they are unqualified opponents. B u t the restless hostility of the Woman's Bights party toward old fash- ioned rules and systems is only one phase of the general impatience of the social establishment and the principles • o n which it is founded. W e see that impatience manifested, in so-called reforms which have no recognized connection with the Woman's B i g h t s question. T h e notions of the woman Stanton about prison management are not new. They have been given out from the platform from time to time for many years. They are the fruitage of a false philanthropy which has in other forms worked disaster to the peace ai.d safety of society. W e shall not have to look far for examples of its damaging consequences. It is a false philanthropy w h i c h encourages a continual tinkering of t h e criminal laws to make them easier for their "unfortunate" objects. I t i s a false philanthropy which, s o soon as an atrocious murder is committed, sets about contriving plans for shielding the murderer from tho just penalty of bis crime. It is a false philanthropy which gradually neutralizes in- dignant public opinion and permits the m u r - derer to escape. I t i s a false philanthropy which would transform our State prisons into elegant retreats for convicts who, if they have been guilty of any indiscretion, have only obeyed the promptings of "moral in- sanity", and are, therefore, t h e victims of society. It ia a false philanthrophy which, ignoring the proof of monstrous wickedness in the world, would treat crime as a disoase, which should stimulate tender sympathy, but never arouse a wholesome horror. N o t h i n g of this, we say, is now. T h e professional reform- ers of the platform and the press were at work creating and fostering this false philanthro- py, long before t h e Woman's B i g h t s party was heurd of. W e are apt to belittle the ef- forts of the sentimentalists and to deny their potential influence. They have been s o far successful that they have in m a n y minds wholly perverted the very significance of the term philanthropy. It has ceased to mean a love for all m e n and a desire to promote the aggregate welfare of mankind, and come to mean a morbid tondorness for bad men, and an inclination to interpose b e - tween them and the just consequences of their wickedness—consequences which regard for the welfare of mankind, genuine philan- thropy, insists shall inovitably foilow wrong ; doing. The worst of this false philanthropy is n o t in what it does but in what it indicates. I I t is itself a moral disease, but i t is also a symp- tom of a far graver moral disease. It shows i a gradually unsettling of the moral convictions of society, a confusion of the distinctions between right and wrong, a cutting loose from the old moorings of well-founded prin- ciples, and a drifting out toward tho sea of vague theory. It discloses social demoraliza- tion. When wo reach this radical point we touch the source of all social ills. The out- growth of this demoralization is varied. I t develops i n political and official corruption, i n the degradation of religious organizations, i n loose ideas of marriage and sexual relations, in the unsexing of women by making them aggressive and immodest, in an alarming indifference to the vices and crimes which are the grosser consequences of moral insensibility. There is n o weakening of wholesome restraints, n o rebellion against the wise regulations approved by the experience of past ages, which m a y n o t b e traced to t h e rooted social demoralization of t h e time. Indeed i t must b e traced there. N o w i t i s worthy o f note that all this systematized ,evil and all this tole- ration of evil are justified under the specious plea of a false philanthropy. It i s that spu- rious sentimentality which connives at cor- ruption and regards listlessly the non-en- re rs te in s! st ar .r- V m •e st n ie 1- d a al 0 t- foroemenfe of moral and: statute law, enco aging adultery under ihe name of free lo and making the publio conscience dull to kinds of crime. It is that spurious sex mentality which. affords us the disgust: spectacle of the woman Stanton sympathizi with the woman Fair—the Woman's Big leader consorting with the murderous pr titute. .•-. f- • T h e R e p u b l i c a n P o l i c y o f P o l l t e n o i W e design in this article t o pay little att< tion t o t h e rage and ridiculosity of t h e fell who i s written down B e n s o m , and w h o y terday s e e m e d to have.the m o s t t o say, of the m e n w h o have little t o d o and m u c h say at t h e Navy Yard.

The license fee for tho former is §30 and for the latter 810. A suitable examination of applicants is provided. The members of the Board receive 32,500 a yeai each for their services. It is bolioved that the license system will secure more reliable drug dispensers and reduce tho number of so-called accidents from blundering compounders of med- icine.

When the building was put up, three-quarters of a century ago, the property was divided into two hundred and three shares. Each shareholder nominated a person to represent him according to t h e terms of the association. During the lifetime of each nominee the shareholder he represented received his proportion of the rents and profits. Upon the death of a nominee the shares represented by him or her went to the other owners. It; was further agreed that the several interests should so vest in the shareholders represented by! sur- viving nominees, until there should remain alive but seven nominees, when the property should become an estate in common bolonging to tho shareholders represented by the surviving nom- inees. Of course the original owners selected as representatives young and healthy persons whom they regarded as likely tb live long. The death of. John P. DeWint, at Fishkilk in 1870, left but seven nominees alive, and of course tho share- holders they represent take possession of the property, which will soon be sold at auction and the proceeds divided.

At tho expiration of an hour I adminls tor about a quart of oat-moal gruel, composed of abou one-third meal and two-thirds water, with an ounce uu< a half of saltpetre to each pailfuL This tho anima usee as a beverage, and its quantity is regulated by clr oumstances. If there is a retention of urine, I relieve tho bladder by means of a catheter, and if the anima becomes very weak and cannot stand, I sling it anc treat it Internally with "Humphrey's Homeopathii Remedy." Old and weak horses seldom recover, bu with horses of good constitution there seoms to be n< danger, and, as tho disease is not contagious, I do no, think it is likely to provail to any alarming-extent. THB CAUSE OF THE DISEASE^ as already stated, is a mattor of uncertainty. Dr Palmer thinks it may bo attributable to some poisonous fumes from the ammonia arising from the stable drop, pings, and yet hesitates to positively express tha opinion, because in New York horaos havo been at tacked in the finest private stablos, and the city rail road stables are regularly cleaned and strewn with l l s h e d S e r m o n . On the evening of the 16th, the Eev. Hugh Smith Carpenter preached his evening sermon at the Polytechnic, on the riot and its lessons. The sermon BO pleased the audience that a number of the leading members of the congregation desired its publication, and a request, signed by Judge Neilson of the City Court, ex-Judge Reynolds, Assistant District Attorney Pearsall, Mr. Luther B. Wyman and Mr. Henry H i g - ner, was addressed to Mr. Carpenter for the MS. The request was acceded to by Mr. Carpenter, and the ser- mon is now in course of publication. Wo take from it a few of the more noticeable passages: MENTAL AND PHYSICAL MEAT. It win behoove you to pay quite as much heed to tho quality of nowspaper placed upon your stoop, as to tho quality of meat brought by your butcher, and to scan more keenly the platitudes and sophistries with which tho editor dilutes bis articles, than the watery illusions which the milkman puts into his " ories" and cans. THE EBLATION8 OF BELIOION TO POLITICS. A Christian community has n o more right, it is true, to attach itself to a particular party, than to a particular broker or business ; nor to trado in politics, than to tratlo in stocks. For tho parties are simply the stock- brokers of tb© times. But every Christian institution must affect the trado political, as well ai tho trade com- mercial. Jesus Christ did not lnvbst with the money- changers, nor speculate in doves. But he made himself felt upon 'Change. . .. 1 HIS VIEW OF THE BIOT. Ton are aware that the matter of immediate issue on the 12th of July, was the bare right of procession, the simple freedom of festive celebration. Whon this right was threatened, the popular heart throbbed with a sense of outrage, and the popular cheek waxed pole and red by turns. For the right of festal celebration is simply the right of public thanksgiving. Deeper etiU, however, has been the displeasure of society at the reply with wolch such a complaint has been met. That reply has pleatled simply this, not that there could bo any reasonable provocation of a riot, but, that the mob would be so unprovoked, and lost to reason. Now this species of reasoning maddened and fright- ened every thoughtful oltizan. It is difficult to recover from the Indignation which has flushed the city's coun- tenance at such a line of thought, no matter how honestly that line of thought may have been enter- tained, i Public sentiment discerned, at once, what officialism in its sober second thought could not dispute, that to keep the peace by the sacrifice of liberty, was forever after to ensnare both liberty and peace ; and that to preserve order by any truoulenco to disorder, would be to assuage pain by committing Bulci'ie. All men could see, instinctively, that if the rights involved were minor rights, the ontrago plotted would bo the more causeless outrage, and its Impunity the more wanton shame. TEXBtTTE TO GOV. HOFFMAN. The State of New York can woli afford to give God tbankn, that, in days like these, her Governor has shown himself to be an honest citizen, and a masterful and faithful man. This is K NO QUESTION OF SECT OB CREED. The Roman Catholio religion ia a good religion for Roman Catholics. It is far bettor to be-a good Papist than a bad Protestant. Tbe struggle is not for refor- mation. To a certain. extent that struggle proooods within the Romish Church, as well as without it. We, ourselves, are only reformed, or. Protestant Catholics. Apd the protest is not silenced there—the Reformation is in progress. The priesthood.la not behind the poople, but lnt advance of them. The Popo himself is better than hiss popedom.

A libel suit against the Times, which it begs—but no more letters .'—that is our adv to the Mayor.

The Mayor states that "a fun statement of all the a counts for the last two years Is being printed for pu lie distribution, and in manuscript accompanied t Mayor's Message." We are most happy to hear it. T, Mayor's Message was very longjVet gave no intimatis of this most interesting fact.; We trust the prlntli will not require another month.

Tho essence of tho wholo matter is contained in th italicised words.

And yet Mr. Connolly and Mr. Hall sheltering themselves behind the above opinion of Mi O'Gorman, paid these amounts without deduction 0; demur, and have as yet, for nearly three years, nove acquainted the taxpayers, for whom they were trustee: with tho fact of such extraordinary claims being mad and paid.

As we were told u crowd had assembled in Eis Boston, we took him in our little tug and landed Inn safely at Long Wharf in Boston, where carriages wer< in waiting.- Rooms,bad been token for him at tb Parker House, and In half an hour after ho reached th' hotel ho was hitting down to dinner with half a dozes : friends, quita prepared, ho said,, to give the first road iiig in America that very night, if desirable. Assnr ances that the Jsiudest feelings toward •' him existes everywhere put him in great spirits, and he seemec happy to be among us.
