DENIS KEARNEY.

The wires were down yesterday south of
later than the 24th. But the dispatches of
that date at least inform us as to the all inn
portant matter on which we so anxiously
, waited information, t.at is, the position to be
taken by Kearney on his arrival from Vallejo.
The "arch agitator,'' as his enemies love to
call him, arrived at the expecteted hour--ar-
rived to find 10000 of his ~fanatical followers
ready at his nod to throw themselves on
the bayonets of the troops and inaugur-
ate at San Francisco 4 carnival whose
end. If once begun, it is given no man to
~foresee. But Kearney is not the mere
blatant demagogue he has been represented
to be. Above all, lie is not the coward we
have over and over been assured that he is.
He has his faults, among them a disgraceful
intemperance of speech; but he is neither
~bloody-minded nor a coward. If it had been
his ambition to shed blood no better oppor-
tunity could have been asked for than that
offered last Saturday evening; while a
coward would surely have ayailed himself
Vi Wuat was certainly all lrreSlStaDle
force in San Francisco, the force of
twenty thousand men, many of them fnlly as
well armed and as skillful in the use of their
weapons as the pick of the troops to oppose
them. But Kearney has some of the quail
ties of a real leader. We are far from being
of his admirers, and equally remote from be-
lieving in his peculiar doctrines, but for all
that he possesses qualities that command
our respect. The course he took in Saturdays
trouble was Il skillful turning to account
of a very exciting, embarrassing situation.
We very much doubt if there is an intelligent
man in the United States, acquainted with
recent events, who does not to-day place a
far higher estimate on Kearney as a man and
as a leader than he did a week ago. And the
good judgment he displayed is sure of its
reward. If he had urged his party to
storm the Jail, the obnoxious De Young
might have been lynched, but the price paid
for this success would in the end have been
the irretrievable rum of the Workingmen's
party. AS it is, as near as can be predicted in
the course of human events that party will
gain control of the city government on the
third OF next month. But, judging the op-
posing parties by their representatives, we in
tinitely prefer the party of Denis Kearney to
one whose consummate flower is the
cowardly, would-be assassin, Charles De
Young.

At a convention of the Greenback-Labo
party, in session in New York on the 26th, it
was resolved :" that we do extend our hearty
congratulations to the Workingmen's party
of the State of California. and pledge them
our honor as men that We will not rest until
we too have rewritten the Constitution of
our State" A resolution .sorrowfuliy ex-
tending heartfelt sympathy" to that martyr
Kalloel, called Geo. w. Gibbons, one of the
delegates, to his feet to move that this resolu-
ton be stricken out, aud that the convention
abstain from interfering in a fight between
two men of notorious character, such as De
Young and Kalloch. Gibbons went on to
say that De Young had only acted as any
snan OF feeling and spirit would have acted,
and that he hoped there was not a man with
in heiring OF his voice who would not under
similar circumstances strike TO the earth the
wretch who would SANDER his mother. This
motion which was greeted with cheers, Kisses
and groaris, failed to carry. The resolution
extending sympathy to Kalloch was carried,
and the G~reenback party Of New York puts
itself ON record as supporting and endorsing

cal warfare is to attack the character Of an

Prince Napoleon has purchased the Ordre,
a Partisan organ of the Bonapartists. L'Or-
Dire will hereafter utterly repudiatc heredi-
tary Imperialism, giving its support to auto
cratic Republicanism, instead. This bait may
possibly take, but its success is rather dubi-
Gus, considering that the French on two oc-
casions have already had experience in
Autocratic Republicanism, the experiment in
each instance terminating in the Empire.
The great Napoleon found the position of
First Consul an easy stepping-stone to the
throne. The little Napoleon in starting from
the fortress of Ham took the route by way of
the Presidency of the Republic, zone and
indivisible," to arrive at the same destination.
In each instance success was achieved through
an apparent hearty acceptance of Republican
ism, the direct opposite of the Imperialism
subsequently established, but it is not likely
that the French will be caught Il third time
by the same old game.

WHAT DO.
VI Hints They Have Given Wise
Men.

New York Correspondent ST. Louis Republican.
One day there was a great loss to one Of
the banks by means of a raised check reported
in New York, and the reporters of the San
were busy writing out their facts about it.
One OF them stopped a moment to say in a
chatty way that if the bankers would cut into
the checks the amount for which each check
was drawn a raised check would be all
impossible thing. The managing editor
overheard the remark. "Mr. Blank" lie
sale, "when yon get through, write IA letter
to the editor Of the Sunsgiving that idea.' 1t
was done, and the letter was printed next
morning containing the suggestion that the
amount of each check should be cut into 1t to
prevent an alteration. A few nights after
ward a spruce young man came in, and,
scattered around some blank checks with
numbers cut through them. as is now
common, said !: 81 am much obliged for that
idea , it's going 70 be worth $4,000 to me-"
The reporter who originated it is still labor
ing by the week. You now and then hear
OF a case around pr~inting-house square of the
valuable things reporters have done. There
is, however, too much work and lite crowded
into their twenty-four hours to give them
much TIM to tell about what they have DONE.
The past to them is as the waters that have
run by. They are interested only in what
they have got to do to-day, or what they have
got to doto-morrow. When leisure days come.
they do not find themselves in a mood to re-
1--WE the past. So it is hard to get at what
these agile gentlemen have done that should
be fixed into history. Nearly every man has
a story of some extraordinary obligation he
rests under to some newspaper man but he
would be indeed a mar worthy of prominence
who could say that he had fulfilled such an
utilization. The venerable Peter Cooper
not long ago won a suit through The sugges.
ton of "A reporter who was examining 4 con-

Several Of the Eastern powers have lately
endeavored to induce the United States Gov
rnmen to undertake with them a mediation
between the South American States now at

By and bye those powers may possibly ac-
quire a faint comprehension of the Monroe
doctrine. If they do they will understand
that their intermeddling with affairs distinctly
American, is looked upon with little favor by
the United States.

In discussing the De Young-Kalloch shoot

In discussing the De Young-Kalloch shoot
ing, the New York Sun speaks as follows:
We observe a prevailing disposition to
lump together the conduct of De Young and
the conduct Of Kalloch, and to indulge in IL
general deEunciation of both those parties,
as if both were equally to blame. We dis.
sent entirely from this view. De Young be-
gan the personal warfare in a most offensive
manner, and arrogantly demanded that Kali
loch should withdraw from the canvass as a
candidate on pain of all exposure of his past
life, a demand such as no one had a right to
ask OF atreeman. Exasperated by De Young's
unprovoked attack, Kalloch retorted sharply
and savagely; but who would not be savage
under such circumstances? Shooting was
not Unsuitable under any provocation, but
had kallocll been the original agsressor it
would have worn a less aspect of deliberate,
wilful murder than it does now"
