For Fiv Days th Mobi Oppottd to
Contoription Raged Through th
8trets, and Mor Than a Thousand
Person Wero Killed or Wounded.
During the draft riots In the war
days of 1803 New York city was in the
grip of a reign of terror and blood
shed for nearly a week. Conscription
was begun on the morning of Tuesday,
July 13, in a four story brick building
at Third avenue and Forty-sixth street,
under the supervision of Provost Mar
shal Jenkins. Assistance and protec
tion1' had been promised, but no one
came to help blm and his little force.
Drafting commenced at 0 o'clock, and
a big crowd stood outside. A atone
was hurled through a window at 10:30
o'clock, and soon many more were bat
terlng against the walls. Terrorized,
the police and draft officers fled to the
street, where many of them were
roughly handled.
The rioters rushed into the draft
office and threw the enrollment books
out of the windows to the crowd,
which tore the records to shreds. The
draft wheel, chairs and tables were
smashed, piled In the middle of the
room, and a match was applied. This
hnlldlnc was one of tho many burned,
the aggregate loss by incendiary fires
being estimated at $2,000,000.
For negroes. in the city it was a day
of doom, tho mob looking upon them
as one of the chief causes of the draft
Many of them were killed and wound
ed, some being shot, others beaten to
death and still others banged to trees
and lampposts. .The Colored Orphan
asylum was burned. Near Fulton mar
ket boys killed three negroes anu leit
their bodies on the pier near Fulton
ferry entrance.
So suddenly did the shock come that
(he police and limited force of militia
in town could not resist it. There wns
a hurried conference between Major
General Wool, ex-Governor Morgan.
General Anthon and Brigadier General
Harvey Brown; but, owing to the ab
sence of Governor Horatio Seymour,
whoso opinion was wanted, martial
law was not declared. Brigadier Gen
eral Brown, however, took command of
the troops in the city und summoned
from nearby points all available sol
diers. Mayor George Opdyke issued
au anti-riot proclamation.
During the afternoon a mob swept
along Fifth avenue, destroying proper
ty. They were ready to burn Mayor
Opdyke's home, but Judge Barnard
saved it by telling the crowd the only
way to resist the draft was by bring
ing it before the court. He promised
he would issue a writ of habeas corpus
for any drafted man for whom appli
cation should be made. In all the
mobs were many Infuriated women,
whose actions were often worse than
those of the men.
Horace Greeley, who was a particu
lar object of aversion to the rioters,
started, as usual, from his home in
Nineteenth street to go on a Fourth
avenue car to tho Tribune office.
Friends told him of his danger, and he
spent the day in Windust's restaurant,
at Park tow and Ann street, and went
home at night hi a closed carriage
while mobs were demanding bis blood.
Governor' Seymour issued a procla
mation the next day calling on ail citi
zens to stand by 'the constituted au
thorities and assist Sn maintaining
order. Rioting, however, continued
throughout the day and night, the po
lice, soldiers and mobs having many
fatal encounters.
On the third day the rioting contin
ued, and many of the mob and the
city's defenders were killed or wound
ed. The federal authorities postponed
the draft, hut trouble did not cease at
once, as many of tho rioters thought
the action, was a governmental trick to
gain time. The fourth day brought
further disorders in New York and
Brooklyn. Archbishop Hughes ad
dressed a crowd in front of his home,
urging them to keep the peace, nis
plea bud a soothing effect.
On the fifth day fighting ceased and
order was partly restored. A heavy
storm also dampened the ardor of the
tired rioters. General James B. Fry,
provost marshal general of the United
States, Issued an order that drafting
would be resumed. Brigadier General
E. It. S. Canby assumed command of
the Federal troops in the city, reliev
ing General Brown. A roundup of
ringleaders among the rioters followed,
and many were arrested. By July 30
order was completely restored.
More than 1,000 persons were killed
or wounded during the rioting.' among
