Of society seem to be that an editor may say

workingnen that the course they pursue will
be the best evidence of their ability to adj
minister the affairs of the city, and that to re-
sort to violence would be fatal mistake.
The Post practically claims that either Kali
loch or De ! oung was justified in a personal
attack by the,language used, d,but De Young was
most to blame for beginning the quarrel by
lampoonnig the father of kalloch. So far as
can at present be learned, the feeling of the
community is almost entirely with Kalloch.
De Young's action is universally declared as
cold blooded assassination, and the belief is
general that if the Workingmen-in the event
of Kalloch's death-demand the surrender of
| the De Youngs for lynch justice, that outside
of lawfully constituted authorities, not a hand
would be raised to prevent the consummation
| of their desires. 1t is rather early as yet to
| speculate upon the effect of the occurrences
| upon political affairs, but this much is evident
| from expressions heard on every side that
whatever be the result of Kaloch's wound,
the affair will prove death blow to the cause
of the Honorable Bilks in this city. IfKalloch
RECEIVERS he is likely to receive a vote much
greater than would have been given him had
| nothing of the kind occurred. If he dies the
detection from Honorable Bilks will likely be
greater, but in that case the Republicans will
probably profit to some extent. 1t is difficult
to say what the effect will be in the interim,
but it can hardly fail to be disastrous to the
II. BIS. The Chronicle has been the head
and front of that organization. 1t called the
party into being; organized it and praised it
in and out of season, and can hardly be other
wise than that the elimination of the bitter
war it has waged in assassination will result
| in great damage to the party throughout the
State. Such advices as have been received
from the interior show the existence of a de-
glce of Indignation only second to that evinc-
ed in the city. At the Workingmen's head
quarters they are in constant receipt of offers
from the interior towns of men and arms to
assist in executing vengeance Oh the De
Youngs.
Kearney arrived on the Vallejo boat this
evening At the wharf he was met by a
crowd OF several thousand who received their
leader with almost frantic exhibition of joy.
Three companies of Workingnen military
comprising one hundred and sixty men with
rifles and fixed bayonets were on hand as an
escort. With Kearney at their head the pro-
ccssion moved up Market street for the Sand
Lots filling the street for several blocks and
making the air ring with cheers for Kearncy
