Charlottetown, July 16, AFTER THE FIGHT.
Tue unanimity with which all re-
spectable persons—-of every class and des | nomination ~ condemn the rowdyism ex- |
hibited on Thursday evening last is gratis fying and reassuring. We have much ploasare this morning ia publishing the reinarkg, made to his fluck yesterday, by the Rev. DD MeDou: 12, ond also the resos lution nuanimously possed by the Cons erevation of St. Duusten’s last night.
We litve no doubt that the members ofthe Orange Order in this city will,

publicly express their disapprobat‘on of the conde: c) those among them who in- judiciousiy—to use a mild term—made use of ceadly weapons at te commences ment of the disturbance.
From the remarks of the Rev. Mr, Meoneid, and fom the terms of the resolution—which latte’, we beiteve,

made by certain interested individuals to connect the whole Catholic population of Cyarlottetewa with the ding.acetul dis- turbanees. That the majority of those who were arrested are Roman Catholics —in name at Jerst—there can be no doubt. But we cannot see upon what principle of fairness or justice the Cathos lies, as a community, sre to be identified with and held respons vle for the un- seemly conduct of some rowdy men and Jads—whose fauit is in no way les- seacd beeduse they were drunk. No person but a bigot lost to ali sense of rea- son ora knave who desired to make eap- ital out of sectarian animosities, would think of asscrt_ng that Roman Catholic
Seclesiastics or laymen look with any f:yor upon the disturbance or riot. The Ministers of the Gospel of Peace have no word of encoursgement nor sign of favor for those who, by doing acts*of violence, break the laws of Godand man. This is clearly shown by the words of wisdom ad- dressed by the Rev. Dr. McDonald to the Congregation ef St. Duastan’s on Sunday morning.

The Orangeman took a flask out of his pocket and threw it back at the man who struck him. Heard shots. There was no great disturbance on the street till the shots were fired’ Then the crowd backed off. Stones were thrown, but none were thrown at the windows till after the shots were fired.

Tne crowd brought a laider out of Ofter's gangway and endeavored to erect it against the wil, but did not succeed. Calls were made to * pull down that flag,” “ pull down that rag.” The S.°- pendiary Magistrate arrived and addressed the crowd. Asked them would they dis-
perse if the flag were taken down. He said, you will promise not to throw stones if the flag is taken down, They
said, ‘‘we will,’ The Magistrate went to the [all and asked the flig to be jowered. After a while the flag was lowered.
