The Mayor was at the City Hall all night, doing what he could; but the mob
had arranged their plans to act in concert, appearing in separate bodies
in different sections of the city at the same time, so that he hardly
knew, with the force at his disposal, where to strike. The next morning he
issued another proclamation, calling on the citizens to report to him and
be organized into companies to aid the police. He called also on all the
volunteer military companies of the city to rally to the support of the
laws. They did so, and that (Saturday) night they, with most of the fire
companies, who had offered their services, were stationed in strong bodies
all over the city; and the rioters saw that their rule was ended. Beside,
many of the most notorious ringleaders had been arrested and put in
prison. A short fight occurred in Catharine Street between the police and
mob, in which both had some of their men badly hurt; and an attempt was
made to get up a riot in Reade Street, but it was promptly put down. The
city was rife with rumors of bloody things which the mob had threatened to
do; but, with the exception of the military in the streets, the city on
Sunday presented its usual appearance. The lawless spirit was crushed out,
and a hundred and fifty of the desperadoes who had been instrumental in
rousing it were locked up to await their trial.

In June of the summer of 1835 occurred the Five Points riot, which grew
out of the feeling between Americans and foreigners. It threatened for a
time to be a very serious matter, but was finally quelled by the police
without the aid of the military. Dr. W. M. Caffrey was accidentally killed
by one of the mob, and Justice Lowndes was dangerously wounded.

In connection with the series of riots of 1834 and 1835, might be
mentioned the Stonecutters' riot, though it was promptly suppressed.
