po4OIng was a vulgar aslassinatloni
aud is a dark blot on San FrauciscJ's
record. The dead man was far from
blameless, but he on whose account
the crime was committed, was not
irreproachabla in reputation or reti-
cent in speech, and had little excuse
to have the Islander against hln
avenged by bullet. Neither eide can
claim to have ac'ed tne part OF meek
innocence; each had made charges
against the other, unsuitable for pub

true; neither side was just fed IN
avsnging their wfongs, OF supposed
wrongs, with the pistol. 1t is q grea'
misfortune for San Francisco that
any OF the parties has ever made his
home here; cur community Is sick OF
the malicious personal abuse drawn
from the secrets Of private lie and OF

Indignant public opinion and the in

that such offences should no longer
be committed with impunity In our

The cor0ner's autopsy on the b DE-
OF Charles DsYoung shows that the
fatal shot struck the deceased on the
right side of the jaw, and did not
penetrate the brain, but ranged down.

Dispatches already flied seem to
have pretty thoroughly exhausted the
facts in connection with the kslloch-
DeYouDg affair. Nothing has been
learned 10 throw any further light on
the subject. The tragedy is the theme
of universal comment on the strset
and the general expression seems to
be that such . result might have
been expected az any time during a
number Of years past, owing TO the
personally aggressive course that ba-
always been characteristic of the
Cayoailis. CitizeDs deplore such
recourse TO VIOLENT means OF redress,
and believe that the provocatioa in
lthis case vas altogether inadequate,

Daring the forenoon, business has

Is row IN progress. This afternoon

which it will be removed 10 the late
residence. in preparation for tbs
funeral, the date o! wbich is not yct
fixed. Young Kailoch still remains
IN bis cell at the city prison, and ob
serves strictly his previous reticence
He vas visited By counsel this morn
ing. About s O'Clock, his father went
to the station house and wss cloee,ed
with the prisoner about an hour,
but nothing Is known OF the
nature Of the conference. Soon
after, young Kalloch was brough,
before the police court, his father sc.
companying him, and the case WAS
continued until next ThGTsday. As a
further indication of the tenor OF
public opinion, it may be noted that
many OF the better class of citizsna,
while lot expressing any marked
sympathy FOR DeYoung, exhibit 3
strong feeling oiindignauOn in q gen
eral way against the Kalloobs, both
iatber ard son, considering THEN
whole course in connection with the
quarrel with the Chronicle as objec-
tionable and disgraceiul, and expires
sing the belief that it Is time the city
was rio of them, in The interest Of re-
spectahihty, peace and good order.
The Bulletin editorial, this evening,
alter briefly reviewing the whole
Kailoch-DeYoung quarrel, Gays: The
causes which lie al the bottom of the
feud are reckless journalism on The one
hand and border politics on the other.
There is a line in journalism which
cannot be ovsrstepped without pre-
voking retaliation. Il is, in large
sense, the dead line. The public
acts of public persons are just subjects
of public criticism, but even that lati.
tude is not justified if personal malice
is the leading motive.
The Post says. editorlaliy: The
homicideo of last night was the natural,
logical and inevitable outcome OF the
example Get by the deceased. Isaac
NJ. Kalloch appealed to the popular
court of last resort to vindicate his
family honor, precisely as Charles
DeYoung had done eight mouths
ago. The only difference in their
respective cases was in the fatal end
ing. In both, theintent was criminal,
viewed from strictly legal and moral
standpoint; in both, malice aiore-
thought stood self-attes.ed; in botA,
justification is sought in the pIo7oca-
ton of unbridled vituperation and
SANDER.
The Examiner says of the tragedy
that it was deliberate assassination
and the assassin had mauiiestiy pre-.
meditate1 the strocious deed with
malignant determination to make no
failure Of his fatal purpose. The
murder Of last night WAS another, and
the last tragic chapter in this most
unfortunate and depl0rable trouble.
For the peace, order and good name
OF San Francisco, it should be tie end
of the lawless violence and the
criminal shedding Of blood in relation
to such matters.
AS regards the responsibility for the
of the pamphlet heret1.
fore referred to, it is noticeable that
the Chronicle, this morning, fails TO
deny, in express terms, any coanec-
ton with It. After mentioning, in
its local account of the tragedy, that
the Bulletin extra Of last evening |
assigned the document as q provoca-
ton for the shooting, the ChroaicIe |
article continues that the deceased, |
only yesterday afternoon, stated to the
editor of the paper that he
had been greatly annoyed by notes
addressed to him requesting him to
send copy of the pamphlet reflect
