THE DEYoUNG-KALLoCH AFFAIR.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 27.-To-day
De Ioung's Cmonielepublishes long article
in which he shows that Kalloeh intended to
read in public the slanderous attack publish
ed some time ago by Napthaly in the Sun,
prior to the publication of the assault on his
fathers memory in the Chronicle 1t is
affirmed also that Napthaly retracted his
statements in the Sun and that Kalloch was
aware that they were baseless

TIE Man WHOM DEYouyG SHoT.-Ac-
cording TO the Boston papers Rev. |. s.
Kalloch has a very bad record. The Post
says He is native of Rockland, Me, his
father having been preacher in that city
when he was mere boy. The boy was
sent TO the Baptist College in Watcrville
Me, 10 study for the ministry While at
college the lads passion led him TO disgrace,
and finally resulted in bringing about his ex-
pulsion. He returned TO Rockland and
managed TO again get into the good graces of
the people, and had begun to preach. Ere
long. however, it was discovered that he had
been too intimate with the wives, sisters and
daughters of his deacOns and parishiOners,
and he was expelled in disgrace. Young
Kalloch, thrown upon his own resurces, came
TO Boston, and in some ineyplicable manner
secured letters of introduction and recon-
mendation to prominent Baptists here. The
fremont Temple Society offered him the va
cant pulpit without inquiring into the fact at
tending his departure from Rockland. He
was duly installed as past or, and gained
great notoriety here as a sensational preacher.
But he was detected in immoral practices,
and, when the expose came, it was found
that he had been in the habit of drinking
large quantities of liquor, and was guilty of
repeated acts of immortality. He was ar
raigned on Il Cargo of adultery, tried, but no
criminality could be proven by the testimony,
the jury standing eight for acquital and four
for conviction. kalloch then went 10
Kansas where he was arrested
for obtaining goods under false pretences, but
escaped through a compromise. After re-
pcated efforts 10 secure political preferment.
kaloch finally obtained the nomination for
Congress on the Granger ticket, but the La
Crosse Democrat published an expose of his
career, and the aspirant's hopes were blight
ed in that section of the country. He then
went 10 San Francisco. BY some means he
became popular with Kearney's party, and
was nominated for Mayor of the city.

THE Kalloch- De Dung affair cannot be
considered as other than a deep disgrace to
the city of San Francisco. That man like
whorecently opened a public meet
ing with prayer, the first words of which
were. I'VE thank thee, oh Lord, that the
Chinese must go"-should he a candidate for
mayor with strong prospectsof being elected;
that paper like the ChroHicIe-deriving, it
is said, large profits from blackmail, and
owned and edited by men TO whose hands the
revolver is about as ready as the pen should
be one of its most successful and influential
Journals; that the peace of the city should
depend upon and he secured by low dema-
gogue like Kearney,-is surely humiliation
enough for any civilized city.

TIE Use OF Troops AT TIE POLLS.

There are those who say that the policy of
the President al the present time is different
from what it was in 1877. This is
not the case 1t stood for the right then, it
stands for the same now. 1t will respect the
right and resist the wrong.
In respect TO the question of the use of the
army to keep peace at the polls, Mr.. Schurz
said that it is not possible for any man to
think that there is any danger that troops
will be used to prevent men from voting
who have right to vote. He vetoeda clause
in the Army Appropriation bill because it
stripped him Of his constitutional power to
control the army one day in the year MIR.
Schurz is convinced that no man fears that
he will be deprived of the right to vote by
the army, and quotes the Charleston Ne'cs TO
the effect that no one has ever heard of
case where citizen was prevented from
voting by Federal soldier. THIS cry about
the use of troops at the polls is a reckless cry
of partisanship to affect the ignorant.

TIE PrRrosE OF TIE DEMOCRACY.

Mr.. Schurz says that he is no alarmist and
does not believe that the Democracy pro-
pose another new rebellion in the sense of Il
breaking up of the Union. The South has
had enough of that. What they really de-
sire, in my opinion" says Mr.. Schurz, lis
not TO destroy the government but TO get
possession of it and TO use it for their ends
inside of the Union. If the Democratic
party should succeed in obtaining full CON
troll of the National Government, it would
far from weakening it, be likely, under
Southern influence, to indulge in an exercise
of power the like of which We have not seen
in times of peace, not merely for the preser-
walton of its ascendency but especially in
the Use of the national treasury for all sorts
of local purposes To what extent this will

ond, third and fourth class writer's Ito
say nothing about the vast underlying abysses
OF still lower ranked authors when the en-
during literature of three hundred glorious,
triumphant years is accessible.
The literature of the time is largely given
over to the newspapers and the magazines
No longer TO books, but TO them do we look
for the current thought of the day and the
drift of opinion. Through theirpages do the
leaders and opponents of public opinion and
of the religious, literary and social thought OF
the age address themselves To the people.
The readiness and rapidity of the utterance,
while of enormous and incstimable benefit TO
the world, are really injurious to the inter
eSts of literature, pure and simple,
and this no doubt largely accounts
for the comparatively inferior rank
of the works of the day. However
that may be, it is clearly evident that it is
not necessary to read hooks but newspapers
in order to keep up with the thought, the
hopes, the aspirations, the activities of the
seething times in which we live-times never
paralleled save at the new birth of the An
glo-Saxon race at the glorious Eliza
bethan renaissance, and of inventive and so
cial activities never dreamed of in the history
of the world.
Emcrson's famous rules are Read none
but famed books'-that is the " few great
voices Of time" whose merits and the worlds
consent have given them Immortality" the
precious life-blood of master spirit, en-
balmed and treasured up for a life beyond
life. " How many of the books of the day
would pass the criticism of Emerson and
Milton? The second rule is, Read no book
that is not at least year old'-a period OF
time we would greatly extend. though the
principle is of course obvious. Third, Read
none but books that you like"-three golden
pleasure and profit. 1t is a matter of econo-
my of time and of hard common sense 10

nevertheless plead for return to the old
paths and the old days-we would call again
at the Mermaid and mingle once more with
that glorious company and their longtime
successors at Wills coffee house We plead,
in short, for a revival of the study of English
literature-a turning from the pigmies of the
day to the giants of the past. And when the
reader has once made the Canterbury pill
grimage with Chauccr, been in at the death
of the Blatant Beast with Spenser, studied
Shakespeare "a much rarer study than is
generally supposed, seen the great original of
Faust with Marlowe, appreciated Webster's
funereal genius and pursued the stately and
magnificent course of English literature down
to Hawthorne, how tame and insignificant
will seem the published writings of these
later days,

SOME Democratic papers, including one or
two even in Mississippi condemn the assas-
sination of Col Dixon as an outrage, and do
not pretend 10 palliate its atrocity or TO deny
its political character Most Northern papers
that do not condemn al least remain silent
on the subject 1t was left for the New
York Nation, 10 directly adopt the tran
sparent falsehood by which the Yazoo bull
dozers undertook to conceal the true charac
Ter of the murder The Nation says-and it
is about all it saws onthe suhject-that Dixon
Twas killed in difficulty by a private
enemv." And then, sweet innocent, it pro-
ceeds to discover evidence that the white
disapproval of hull-dozing gains strength in
Mississippi. Having satisfied itself that
everything will soon be lovely in that State
If il is not already-and if in Mississippi
of course everywhere in the South-the Nd

the editor of the Nation world of good, if
he could he induced to move to Mississippi,
run for office on an Independent" ticket,
and be waited on just once by one of the shot
gun committees. Nothing short of this pro-
cess, apparently. can make him see any
thing not commendable in the Mississippi
methods.

The Vicksburg Herd'd is the only Demo
cratic paper in Mississippi which speaks ont
against the Yazoo policy. and its courage and
frankness deserve TO be heartily recognized.
In condemninG the policy of Yazoo intimida-
ton, it also exposes the fallacy of State
sovereignty in these terms: These doctrines
were all discussed millions of times before
the war, and the discussions brought on
the war, and the war settled them for
ever in common-sense, blunt, never
to-be-forgotten manner. 1t settled them
in a manner that any man of ordinary
intelligence may understand. The Union
was not made as a limited partnership,
and one Of its component parts may
not secede from it or break it up, because
the whole is greater than any of its parts.
The States, for local convenience, have all
the rights and liberties guaranteed them that
it is to the interest of a representative cen
trail government for them to have, but in the
event of any conflict Of authority the power
of the National Government is stronger than
lection 10 the States rests in the representa-
tive form of the Government, the courts and
ballot. So long as these possess their pres
ent power all this whining about states rights
and state sovereignty is intolerable nom
sence" But the Herald is almost alone
the more's the pity-and it must bc losing
caste as a Democratic manner

When Democrats raise their voices against
the course which the President pursued in re-
gard to Congress, they only prove the weak
ness of their cause. 1t is an cutlery merely
to cover their own shortcomings. They
know but too well that they have done many
things to alarm the conservative sentiment of
the country. They forced an extra session
of Congress without necessity, and threw the
people into needless agitation. In that extra
session they presented an exhibition of ty
ranical caucusrule subvcrsive of all frcedomo
individual action and opinion in the work
of legislation. The incorporate threats and
manifestoes accompanying their attempt to
coetce the Executive betrayed II lack of
just sense of the responsibilities of Gov
eminent, which might become dangerous
unless as firmly resisted as it was. Their
avowed design TO organize the Southern
States AS n compact partisan force has given
IA new stimulus to sectional feeling, and the
fierce intolerance of opposing political opin-
ion in some of these States, and the violent
and cruel means too notorious now 10 be
denied by which that compactncss " par
tisan interest and action are sought to he ac-
complished, have awakened serious appre-
hension as to what a party, in which such
impulses and influences are so potent, would
do with the national power if in such a way
it should acquire its possession.
