A SAN FRANCISCO BLOT.

Rev. I. D. Kall0ch believed to be
AoFtally Wounded - X ar m ey
Does BOOd Turn and Saves the
City from BloOdshsd.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. M.-On Friday
night Rev. |. s. Kalloch, formerly Of
Boston, defended himself against charg-
es Of immortality in the presence of an
immense meeting Of his friends and ad-
mirers. He declared that the charges
printed in the newspapers were trump
ed up by two infamous scoundrels, nam.
ed Charles and Michael De Young.
Yesterday morning Charles De Young
drove in a covered coupe to the front of
the private entrance of the Metropolitan
Temple, where Mr.. Kalloch has his
study and rooms, and sent messenger
boy asking him to come out. Mr.. Kal-
loch Immediately appeared on the side
walk, when De Young shot him in the
breast, Mr.. Kalloch turned to retreat
within doors, when De Young shot him
in the back. Mr.. Kalloch is believed to
be mortally wounded. A crowd i'm
mediately seized the carriage in which
Do Young was, turned it over and
dragged him out. He was dreadfully
kicked and bruised, and would no
doubt have been killed on the spot had
not an unusual number Of policemen
came suddenly to the rescue and hur.
ried him to Jail.
Word of the hostile meeting Of the
editor and the clergyman few over the
city and caused the widest excitement.
The workingmen gathered in knots and
with great unanimity declared that the
Chronicle Office should be torn out and
that the Msssrs. De Young should be
hanged. A mass meeting was ordered
on the sand lots, aud the presidents Of
the ward societies ass sssmbled for consul
tation in secret. Over ten thousand
people gathered in an hear on the sand
lots, and they were clamoring for ven-
geance, when several prominent lead
ers took the rude stand that had been
hastily erected and endeavored to call
the meeting to order. AT last one Of
them made himself heard, and he be-
z an by counselling peace and patience.
He was drowned with ieers and gronns
from the crowd. Another we'll known
leader obtained the attention of the
masses, and declared that nothing could
be done until Denis Kearney arrived
He said he was on his way down from
Vallejo, aud would arrive at dusk.
This pacifed the crowd enough to get
them to listen to speeches. Kearney
came in the evening and addressed the
vast throng, which had grown to about
10000 souls. He said that ten days
hence the workingmen would rule the
city according to the Actof Assembly,
and although he thought this foul mur-
der ought to be instantly avenged, he
would not have blood shed now, because
it would prove that the humber class
es were incompetent to govern them
selves, much less the city. He wanted
10 win the election first, and then by
legal means put down the hounds who
have misruled it, and who go pistol in
hand to avenge their supposed wrongs.
The speech had most pacific effect,
and San Francisco was spared bloody
riot, If not total destruction.
The brothers De Young were both in
Jail. 1t was guarded by large force
of armed police and several companies
of militia. All of the military compa-
MES were under arms, and the members
of the Grand Army of the Republic
were summoned to duty by General
Macomb. Had there been riot, the
slaughter would have been very great.
So the value Of Dennisl lKearney's speech
was extraordinary.
Rev. l. s. Kallock was in 1857 the
pastor of Baptist congregation in
fremont Temple, Boston. He was very
popular, but was charged with immor-
al conduct with Mrs. Stein, of Brat
tleboro, Vermont, at hotel in Cam
bridge, Massachusetts,. The jury in
the case disagreed, but the people
thought him guilty, and he was obliged
to leave. He went to Kansas, and tried
preaching, politics, and farming, but
failed at everything. Some years ago
he settled at San Francisco, and after
preaching strange doctrines to great
crowds of people, he again entered the
political arena as workingmen s candi-
date for Mayor.
Charles and M. H. DeYoung are ma
tives of New Orleans, and proprietors

have been in California for thirty years
nearly and are self made men-spright.
ly and enterprising journalists. Mr..
Charles De Young is an independent
editor, but has never let his passion get
the better Of his judgment before to
such an extent as at present. He had
a running pistol fight with one Naph-
thaly, who had traduced him, and
with Judge Lake, who took umbrage
at an article written by DeYoung. In
these affairs no one was hurt. Mr.. De
Young piques himself on his honorable
descent from an excellent French ances-
try, and upon his moral career in San
and when Kalloch threatened
to revive Naphthalys scaLdal, IL eXas-
perated him beyond measure. He told
kalloch he would shoot him If he dared
to read the article from Naphlhaly's
journal, and he kept his word.
The brothers De Young were inter-
viewed early. this morning. Charles
would say nothing, except that the
published accounts of the affair were
'orrect. nj. H. De Young, in answer
10 remark Of the reporter that it was
4 bad state of affairs, replied that it
might have been expected. "Mr. Ral.
