Views Of the New York EveniDg
Press.
New YORK, August 27th.-The
Evening Express on the shooting
says: Undoubtedly Kalloch is no
better than he ought to be. He is
paying the penalty of methods
which no good citizen should have
adopted. His conduct is indefensi-
BILE, yet his ranking words and
appeals to popular prejudice and
passion do not justify assassination,
and his assailant acted the double
part of a coward and would be-
murderer. 1t cites the case of Dix
on in Mississippi, and endeavors to
show the parallels of the two oc.
currences. 1t concludes that neith-
er the Democrats nor Republicans
can afford to justify acts of vic.
lence, and neither party does at
tempt to justify them, North,
South, nor anywhere.
The Comm ercioL advertiser says;
Imagine a condition of affairs that
must exist in community which
can be so moved over such quar-
rel. Two vulgar, indecent wretch
es who have exhausted everything
vile they could say of each other,
turn to their parents. One drags
the others father from the grave in
which he has lain for over thirty
years, and the other assaults the
purity of the mother now over 20
years Of age. Was there ever such
a hideous spectacle. Yet it is said
that this quarrel is to decide the
political destiny of San Francisco.
The people Of California must
blush for their State.

San says: There exists no doubt of
the fate of Talmage when he gets
back into the hands of his fellow
Presby ters, for counting of heads
now shows majority that is inn
placably anti-Talmage, and ready
to declare him guilty, and either to
censure him or to suspend him
from the ministry of the Presbyte-
rian denominations.

NEW YORK, August 27th.-The
Sun says OF Kalloch: We have yet
to learn that either he or any of the
churches he has served, has been
disfello wshipped by the neighbor-
ing Baptist churches, as Beecher
and the Plymouth Church have
been disfellowshipded by the lead,
ing Congregational churches of
Brooklyn and New York.
