every thing will depend upon the course he
concludes to adopt.
At $50 p. NJ. Kaloch's condition was i'm
proved. slight examination has been made
and the physicians expressed an opinion of
good ground for expecting recovery.
| AT the workingmens' headquarters they are
| III constant receipt of offers from interior
towns. Of men and arms to assist in executing
vengenco ON the DeY oungs.
Kcarney arrived ON the Vallejo boat this
evening. At the wharf he was met by several
thousand, who received their leader with al
most frantic exhibitions of joy. The work
lngmens military companies, 100 men,
with rifles and fixed bayonets were on hand
as escort.
With Kearney at their head the procession
moved up Market st. far the Sand Lots, fill
ing the street for several blocks, and making
the air ring with cheers for kearney, and
cries of Hang DeYoung."
The procession stopped at the working
mems headquarters, on Market ST.. near 9Th,
where the Ward Presidents are in session,
celebrating on the course to be pursued
kcarney entered the building aud joined ,he
Ward Presidents, and the crowd gathered
around, blocking up the street. The entranc-
es were guarded by sentnes with fixed bay
on"ts, and no one was admitted without the
countcrsgn. Ii was announced from the
window that nothing would be done without
due dclibcration, but that vengeance would
be taken No reporters were admitted, and
the result of their deliberations is unknown.
The march was soon resumed The crowd
had assembled at the Sand Lots before Kcar-
ncys arrival. and was harangued by several
prominent workingmcn, counselling prudent
action.
kearney on his arrival Immediately ascend
ed the stand and began addressing the assem-
blage, which numbered not less than 10000.
The indicative feeling which had prevailed
during the day, was apparently in no wise
diminished, and at a word from kearney the
whole body would have poured down town
without hesitation, to wrcak vengeance on
the Def oungs. kcarney realized the situa-
ton fully and addressed himself to the task
of quoting the passions of his followers He
reminded them that in ten days the election
would put the whole machinery of the city
government in their hands, and that without
fail the proprietors of the Chronicle would
then meet their deserts: that any present at
tempt at violence would be met by the revol-
vcrs of the police, and rifles and gatling guns
of the military, and that the game was not
worth shedding of the blood of one honest
man. He abiured them by their regard for
their reputation throughout the country, the
eyes of which were upon them, to do no viO-
lence, but dsperse quietly to their homes
and tomorrow he would meet them again.
In the mean time he would inquire more full
~ into the state of affairs, and would then he
believed, be able to show them how to dis
pose of the matter with credit to themselve
The crowd yielded implicitly to his advice
and when he dismissed them surgcd away in
various directions.

cidcd opinion in kaloch's case for some a
hours
August "a. Kallocs condition through
out the day has been comparatively favora-
bic. The wound has not yet been probed.
The case is critical but recovery is expected
by the medical attendants
The Chronicles leading article this morn
ing, on the shooting of kalloch, says they do
not propose to comment in detail upon the de-
plorable event The time had not vet come
for calm and candid discussion of the merits
of the case, but if there is in this great city
one human being in the shape of a man, and
pretending to the dignity of manhood, who
could tamely have heard the mother who
bore him assaulted in language too vile to be
repeated, without offence to modest ears, let
that despicable creature throw the first stone
at the avenger of the grossest insult that was
ever offered to a woman venerable in years
and irreproachable in character; and contn-
uing says Let those who are disposed to
indulge in harsh judgment in this case, make
it their own. Let them consider what they
themselves would have been impeled to do
had their own mothers and sisters been sub
jected to brutal insult before public assem-
bage.
The city is now perfectly quiet although
every preparation has been maintained by the
