THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1873.

The San Francisco bummers train
ing i'll the lead of Kearney, under the
name of i'workingmen,' held a signif-
cant meeting last Friday night, during
the course of which Kearney made Il
speech, saying that one hundred thous-
and men were arming and drilling in
the East to support their fellow work
ingmen in California, and that the
time for action was near at hand.
Upon reading this information the
question naturally arises why are these
men arming, and who are they going
to fight! There are no other armed
men in the country except the regular
L. S. army. To attack them would
be treason and rebellion. and so great
a patriot as Kearnev would not dream
of fighting the United States. The
time for action being near at hand,
kearneys armed forces, then, are
about to precinitate themselves upon
women and children, unarmed citizens,
or places of business. There car be
nothing else to attack; the arming of
these men can only be fraught with
danger to the peace of the entire coast
Their talk means either buster, brag,
or anarchy, and the conclusion is very
easily reached that honest people should
frown upon the movement, discourage
it in every way as unworthy all honest
sons of toll, and stretch Kearney's
neck at lamp post on the first oppor-
tunity.

an opinion which sets aside the verdict
Of the superior Criminal Court in the Il
nous case Of the State Us. Thomas d.
Anderson for publishing forged election
return, and orders the discharge Of the
prisoner. This ruling by Chief Justice
Manning is basedo strictly legal grounds.
While the first sentiment Of all Democrats
regarding the case will be one Of indg
nation, it will be well for all to take into
consideration that the decision is proba-
bly, well founded in law.
