Hintelns P??t?c?l cXpVtul
lu foference to the Into riot iu New
York! tho Baltimore iSM?^Utfc?r? . t.
"One of. the niost suggestive features
iu the commenta bf u portion of thu New
York press upon the late disgraceful riots
is the disposition to turn them 'to politi?
cal nccouut.' Comparatively little inte?
rest ?a manifested in tho merits of tho
masty tjuarirel, aud scarcely a pretenso of
sympathy for the lose of life,,'bat tho
great point seems to. be to fasten tho re?
sponsibility of what hus occurred upon
officials of au opposite political stripe;
and that without reference to what course
they may have taken. Thus Mr. Kelso,
of the police, who prohibited, the Orango
procession, ia charged with having'pu
silauimously connon toil to sign the capi?
tulation which gavo the oily up to tho
gutter snipes,' aud Governor* Hoffmau,
who permitted the procession, is spoken
of as having incited, through au infa?
mous speech, 'tho three days' revel of
crime and treason, which almost neutral?
ized by its shame the new glories of
Vi?ksburg and Gettysburg.' Tbe Tri
bune adds: 'These frightful scenes.will
not cease nntil that corrupt party which
depends for its exj.steu'ee upon tho Totes
of tho ignorant and vicious,. loses its
tyrannical control of pur public life. It
is in itself organized lawlessnoas and pil?
lage.' This prompt manipulation of tho
riots in a particular direction looks as if
the demonstrations whioh led to them
may-.ho.ve been possibly instigated for
some such* parp?se. NJbt that we would
imitate the example of the 1 'ribune, and
hold any party*, oe anoh, responsible for
the late tragical scenes io New.York. It
is certain, however, that tbe authorities
seem to have acted in good faith in their
e{Torts to preserve public order, and it is
diifioult to see. how Governor Hoffman
can be denounced by those who favored
the procession, after be revoked the
munipipal order forbidding it, and
promptly ordered oat the military for its
protection. These Illiberal attacks upon
Governor Hoffman Strikingly exemplify
the bigotry and blind malice of party
spirit. To call the party represented by
snob an officer-while some of its mem?
bers were lying dead and dying from
violence received in their efforts to pre?
serve order-u party of 'organizod law?
lessness and pillage,' is a pi eco of cool
impudence and mendacity which only
besotted partisanship could produae.
ut a similar character is the sneer which
represents that any party in America
'depends for its existence upon the vote*
of tho ignorant aud vicious.!' Such
illustrations aa theso show that it is nol
the Battle of tbe Boyne, nor the feudi
of Orangemen and their on ernies, wk iel:
excite tue politicians of Now York, bul
that tboir . only interest is that o!
wreckers, who have perhaps been instru?
mental themselves iu the destruction ol
a ship that they might plunder the cargo,
or, nt all ovouts, like sharks, who hove]
around the scene of n combat to devoui
tho bodies thrown overboard."
THE Tcnco-EaiTTiAK QUESTION.
. Some time ago, it was reported that thc
difficulty between tbe Sultan of Turkey
and the Khedive of Egypt had beet
settled, but, according to later accounts,
it ia assuming a more serious aspect. Al
the beginning of tho quarrel, the Sultat
demanded of tho Khedive only cooees
nions which tho latter might havo eas?Tj
granted. But events hive lately taker
such a turu that tbe Sultan seoms in
dined to mount the bigh horse witl
bis hitherto almost independent Egyp
tian vassal, und bring bim dowu to tb.
condition of governor of a Turkish pro
vince. The Khedive bad good reason t<
believe, until the middle of last year
that, in the event of serious complica
tiona between him and the Sultan, th
Emperor Napoleon would intcrfero ii
bis behalf. At tho samo time, the Bri
tish Government, thea the acknowledge
ally of JtTrauoe, though a friend of Tut
key, gave the Sultan the cold eboulde
in the quarrel betweeu bim and hi
insubordinate vassal. The aspect of th
Turoo-Egyptian question has been ab
raptly changed by the sudden disconi
fiture of France iu her contest witl
Germany. The Sultan availed himsol
of the situation to renew his demand
moro urgently than before, aud th
Khedive tried to tomporize, re-opening
in the meantime, negotiations with th
. English cabinet, to which he mad
tempting offers. Egypt is ?well undei
stood to be of great importance to Grea
Britain in relation to ber Indian posse,
sions, but the advances of the Khediv
were not enoouraged, the British coat
being unwilling to break openly witl
Turkey, especially when it became prc
bablo, about the close of l?st year, tba
a good understanding would be este
bliBhed betweeu the cour ta of St. Poten
burg and Constantinople. The publica
lion of the officiai Suez Canal report c
1870 shows that the resources of th
canal were up to that time less than one
fifth of what had been predioted, an
tho probability whioh may have bee
saggested that the Oanal will hardly pa
its stockholders for twenty years to com
even a moderate interest on the oapifc
invested, may have satisfied Britts
statesmen that it was not valaabl
enough to be the object of a polio
whioh might give rise to. a war. Th
sabscquent obstructions by sand to th
canal navigation have no doubt coi
?riaed tbiV c?*ov?otion. So that thoso
Americans who entered the military Bor
vifCe of Egypt are not likely.for tbepre
se'nt to fin3 activ^ employment. W V

Tho NjW.Yorkpoperp oontinhe.Ho be
crowdcd*v.wikh tjft delila.'of .Uhcfcigreat
riot of Waduosday, on the occasion of
the Orango parade, from which we ex?
tract the following:
There seems to bo n good deal of quar?
reling among the militia regiments us to
tho behavior of. tho men.of tho difforeut
corps during the fight, which will bo tho
subject o?, military investigation.. Tho
New York Times, however, furnishes the
following statement:
Gen. Varian detached tho right wing
of the Seventh regiment, nader tho lead
of Oaptain Moore's company, aud sent
it forward ou the West sidewalk, to act
as flaukors aad stationary guards. The
orders of . the General were that if
the suspected men threw stones or other
missiles, or fired on tho processiouists,
the men of the Sovoutb were at once to
fire upon thom. General Varian espe?
cially cautioned this flanking party that
they were to avoid, if possible, firing on
women or ohildrou. "If those men use
violence," said the General, "uso your
pieces, and aim well." Captain Smith
moved his company to the spot desig?
nated, and there remained. As the pro?
cession moved in front of tho right wing
of tho Seventh, several stones and other
missiles were hurled from tho opposite
buildings, when eight or ten of tho
Seventh mon elevated their muskets and
fired. At the same moment, several
missiles were thrown from the sidewalk
crowd, and a few pistol shots were fired.
The Ninth regiment was then in column,
by companies, when, in some inexplica?
ble manner, the men opened fire to the
right and left. Scarcely had the volley
been fired than the ground held by the
Ninth was deserted by them, and the
men rnshed for shelter to., the sidewalk
and houses, thereby making it impossi?
ble for tito wing of the Seventh to .main?
tain its formation. The Eighty-fourth
also opened firo, and became alinoBt as
much demoralized as the Ninth.
Numerons minor incidents of the day
illustrate tho desperate character of tho
mob. The New York Tribune gives the
following interesting details:
Although without organization or
leadership, the rioters were evidently
prepared for fight, moat of those arrested
having concealed weapons. Had the
line of troops been broken or tho police
been forced from their positions, the
most frightful hatchery and pillage mast
have inevitably ensued. Only the aotivi
ty of tho police early in the day, at
Twenty-eighth and Twenty-nipth streets,
prevented the concentration of the mob
before tho appearance of the troops; and
the unfortunate blunder of the troops
who fired without orders'nnquestionably
had the one happy effect of cowing and
crashing the rioters. It is probable that
this one himty error saved the city from
greater bloodshed at a later hour, when
night would have lent courage aud time
wonld have swelled the ranks of the mob.
i Soon after the procession had started,
a ferocious-looking woman rushed out
from the sidewalk,-seized the regalia of
one of the Orangemen, and attempted tc
pull them from his shoulders. A soldier
warned her back with the butt of his
musket, but the infuriated amazon spit
in his face, and with imprecations and
shrieks of rage, reproached her country?
men for their cowardiae. When the
firing began, a dense mass of people
were struggling toward the centre of the
street, apparently desirous of breaking
up the line of march. About the time
the firing oocarred ia Eighth avenue,
three radians in Sixth avenue, meeting
in front of Fairchild's. Bazaar, between
Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth streets,
a lady who wore orange-colored ribbon?
in her bonnet, at once attacked her, and
tore her head-dress to fragments. She
was frightened by this unexpected as
sault, and flod iuto one of tho neighbor
ing stores, where she was protected.
Sergeant James M. Miller, of the six
teeuth precinct, resides in the house
from in front of which the firing began
and says at tho time it was occupied onlj
by three ladies, his wife, daughter and i
Mrs. Goodrich.
.Forton minutes before tho column
was ready to move, Police Inspectoi
Walling hud noticed a party of men 01
tho roof of tho house on the South-east
ooruer of Eighth avenue and Twenty
eighth street. The revolvers of thc
party wero plainly seen, and from theil
commanding position the inspector re
alizcd how easy it wonld be for them tc
Sick off tho leaders of the procession
[e therefore oalled the attention of Col
Clark to tho rioters, and a squad of thc
Seventh Regiment was detailed to watol
their proceedings. Suspecting that thi
rioters wero about to fire, the soldier
threw up their rifles, and in a twinkling
the roof was cleared. On the top of t
houso, a little further down the avenue
au old man was seen deliberately loading
his revolver. At the time he was no
molested. With reference to the attaol
on tho crc~d, Inspector Walling oak
that he did not consider it unjustifiable
and that although many were killed, thc
firing was really a saving of life. Thc
polioo forae, said tho inspector, ooult
have driven the orowd at every poi ni
along the procession.
James G. Hitchcock, of New Haven,
an eye-witness of tho affair, says tba
fou? o' the dead foi! w ' Iii loaded pialah
in their hands, ready aud taking aim a
the procession.
The apothecary's shop at the oornei
of Twenty-third stroet, was most tho
roughly riddled. A pistol shot havinj
been fired ot the troops from that corner
a volley had been at once poured inte
the crowd collected there; and tho bullet)
crashed through the large plate glas:
windows, breaking inult$gudes of bot Hoi
and whistling about tho ears of the ter
rifled druggist. Fortunately no ono ii
tho store was injured.

The New York Wotld gives s om o par?
ticulars bf the death of tue young Vir?
ginian, Charles H. Pettit, who uvas
among the persons killed during tho
riot. Ho was twenty-two years of age,
and Was to have boon married in two
weoka-to an estimable young lady named
Id ii 11. dulmson, and it was while return?
ing- froni ber honso, after extending uh
iuvitntioo to go to Brooklyn, tlint hu
met with his untimely end. After leav?
ing nor"resideUco lie walked to Eighth
avenue, having some buaiucss to attend
to, promising lo return in a short timo.
Twenty minutes had scarcely elapsed ,
when a mes8onger ornoo running to her
house with the sad nows that young
Pettit had been shot through tho heart
and was lying dead on the avenue. A
few days, since the youug man received a
lotter from his mother, signifying her in?
tention to visit New York to wituess his
marriage. Young Fettit conducted a
large provision business ou tho Westside
of tho city, and is spoken of by all
parties iu tho highest terms.
As if wo had not hud excitement, and
troublo enough, says a New Yoik letter,
it is proposed in some quarters to call a
general indignation mooting to denounce
, the Mayor, and to demand that tho Police
Superintendent Khali vacate his place.
Another proposition is to nomi nat e no
man to the Legislature this fall who will
not pledge himself, ia advance, to vole
for a bill suppressing parades on the 17th
of March, as well as on tho 12th of July.
There is a very noticeable coolness be?
tween the Governor and tho Mayor, re?
sulting from their conflicting orders.
The mass of the Demooratio politicians
divide as to which was right and which
was wrong. Tbe World linds fault with
both for not anting in concert together.
The Republican journals place thc blame
for the whole affair at the Tammany
door. It is intereatiug to note the views
of the non-combatant classes of the
foreign population, particularly the
French and Germans.
Tho National Guard lost two killed and
twenty wounded. Of the civilians killed,
twenty-five were natives of Ireland, five
of the United States, two of Germany,
one of England, one of Scotland, ono of
Australia, and sevoral unknown. Of the
wounded, about ninety were natives o?
Ireland, ten of England, ten or fifteen of
the United States, a few Germaus, one
oolored man, and the balance unknown.
Two women, ono American and the other
Irish, and a girl, also Irish, were of the
number killed.
It is said E. JJ. Carey, tho well-known
leader of the Hibernian societies, is to
bo indicted for conspiracy to create a
riot. Carey's speeches to the Irishmen
in the Priuce Street Hall, on Monday
night, were of au inflammatory charac?
ter, and the grand jury of the Court of
Oyer.nnd Terminer, now in session, in?
tend to found an indiotment upon them.
It is also said Carey used his influence
with the Mayor to have the Orange pa?
rade stopped, and, to effect this, circu?
lated a report that thousands of Hiber?
nians had armed themselves and would
prevent the parado ot any cost. Carey
holds the office of Port Warden, a posi?
tion worth 83,000 a year. The grand
jury also intend to indict tho rioters
oaoght firing at the procession for mur?
der. It was a subject of general re?
mark, yesterday, among those who wit?
nessed the riot on the Eighth avenue,
that the most violent of the mob were
nearly all women. It is said to-have
been a woman who fired the first shot
near the Grand Opera House. A woman
was tho first victim of the first charge of
the police at Tweuty-igtith street. On
the sidewalks, at tho shop doors, at the
windows, women were heard shrieking
curses against tho bloody Orangemen,
and stimulating tho courage of their
husbands and brothers.
The Post gives the following as a re?
liable aocount of Col. Fisk's mishap:
"Col. Fisk was marching at the hoad of
his regiment, in his shirt sleeves, flour?
ishing a large sabre, when the first
crackle of musketry was heard iu front.
Simultaneously with that volley there
seemed to come a whole shower of stones
aud bricks at tho Ninth, and ninny men
declared that rifle shots were fired at
them from windows and roofs. As the
firo ran up the line of the Eighty-fourth
regiment toward tho head of tho Ninth,
that regiment wheeled, and Col. Fisk
aud bis officers stood to the right, for
the first company had knolt ready to fire.
They discharged their pieces without re?
ceiving any orders, and the second com?
pany followed their example. The mob
surrounded Fisk, and as he raised his
sabre they fell apon him, and n few
minutes afterwards bo was picked up in
the gutter, with bis right ankle dislocat?
ed. Ho was carried into a bakery, and
attended by Surgeons Pollard and
Thompson. At first it was thought he
was struck by a spent ball. Au hour
later ho was removed in disguise to the
rear, where a olose ooaoh was in waiting
on another street, and he was removed
to the dook, where he took the boat for
Sandy Hook.
