The Recent Riots and Insurrections-Public


Opinion Here and Abroad.


The recent riots in Philadelphia and Illinois
the terrible outrages in Southwark, and the bloody
tragedy in Carthage, Illinois, involving the de
strucnon of so many lives, have created vast
sensation throughout this country, and elected a
very prompt and gratifying expression of upright
and patriotic opinion from the independent press


But there is another ordeal to which this matter
10 to oe subjected, and that is the public opinion
of Europe. What will be the tone Of that OPT
Mon? What will the advocates of the monarch-
cal and arstocratica institutions OF Europe say to
these thngs9 How they will gloat over the ac-
counts OF these acts With what eagerness they
will point to them evidence of the incapacty Of
man for sef-government


great deal Of sensitlveness has often been ma
infested here, in consequence of the abuse and
sarcasm Of English travelers-Dickens, Feather
stonhaugh, Fider, Trollope, and so on. The cri-
ticsms on the peculiarities of manners and socie-
ty in general have excited great deal of indigna-
ton. But how ridiculous must all this sensitive
ness about these trifes appear when viewed in con-
nection with the feelings which will be aroused
against US in Europe by these melancholy reports.
with which our newspapers have been daily
filled, are read on the other side Of the water
There can be no question that these things will
have tendency to cast discredt on democratic
institutions, and the great of human liberty
To all the old grounds Of assault upon this country
dishonesty Of the repudiating States-the gross
financial mismanagement-will now be added
these dark and bloody scenes OF discord and blood
the riots in Philadelphia, and the massacre OF
Joe Smith in Illinois. These sad events will be
ascribed the inadequacy of our free institutions
to preserve peace and order. II will be overlooke ed
that they have resulted from want of energy in the
authorities, and the unfaithfuness and ineficiency
of much Of the newspaper press-the organs of pub
lie opinion.


And yet, in spite of all that can be said of the
dishonor OF the States in refusing to pay their debts
--ot the mismanagement Of financial institutions
by rogues and rascdls Of oil descriptons-and OF
the terrible condition of portions of the pop
ulstion Of our large cities, produced in great
measure by the pernlcious and demoralzing vol
unteer syst. Of extinguishing fres-ln spite of ali
this, we are not afraid to place the condition oil
our community in contrast with that oi the peopl.
who are groanlng under The despotisms of Europe.
The history Of the past and OF the present day dis
closes picture Of society in Europe in many par
tculars painful and revolt lting in the extreme anc
to which the outbreaks which we all now deplore
afford no approach to parallel.


MORE CArcHPENNY Extras" The Tribune
still continues to follow the practice OF the Sun in
issuing catchpenny extras, pretending to contain
later news from Philadelphia. Yesterday it circu-
lated one which contained no news but whal
we published in our morning paper. And in order
TO make these extras go of, they invent statements
and publish them facts. This system OF decep.
tlon and dishonesty never escapes punishment
