| New YORK, March 12th-The Herald says
| of Kearney The arrest of this blatant,
| foul-mouthed incendiary at his breakfast
table yesterday morning, attests the vigor
which has been infused into the administra-
ton of Justice in San Francisco by the Citi-
zens' Protective Union, which is the name
assumed by the new Vigilance Committee.
In San Francisco a Vigilance Committee,
whatever title it may deem it expedient to
take, is q thing of power
OF kalloch's proclamation. the Herald
says: Behind his cloud Of buster it was easy
TO see That the terrified Kalloch had COM
| pletely backed down, and that he was trying
to raise tremendous dust to cover his re-
treat. His grotesque lies, his air of effront-
cry, his brazen denial that hoodlums had ever
contemplated any violence, his ridiculous
bunc0mb and sWagger, did not conceal the
fact chat the hoodlums had been forced by
their fears to make change of base. and
that the sole anxiety of the cowardly Kai.
loch was to get out of dangerous scrape
without colIessing his CONSERVATION. lie
INDUCED IN : tall talk because Ia this coun-
try speech is free, and he thought an air Of
bravado would CONCEAL the white feather.
The World says: The arrest Of kearnev is
plain notice given to Kearney's followers
that if they doa't keep quiet and behave
themselves worse thing win overtake them.

Special to the RECORD UsIoN.l
WAsHNeToN, March 12th.-The oficia
reports called for by Horace Davis resolution
concerning the existence of slavery in Chin
and the provisions OF the Chinese law agains
expatriation were received by the House O
Representatives from Secretary Evarts thi
afternoon, and they fully justify the predic
tons heretofore made in these dispatches a
to theic importance and interest. 1t is some
what noticeable that Secretary Evarts ha
thought proper to weaken the effect of tn
publication of the Chinese law in regard t
expatriation by sending to Congress
his very recent correspondence o
that subject with Yung Wing. While
was not called for by the resolution
} or known TO have occurred. It is equal
: noticeable that Yung Wings assertion tina
this law does not apply to Chinese in thi
country is unsupported by the citation of an
qualifying clauses, or any repeal, but res;
solely upon certain phrases In the preambl
of the Burlingame Treaty. which pr1babl
not one Chinaman in a million has ever hear
of, while on the other hand all Chinese sui
jects are more or less familiar with the re
quirements and stringent penalties of thei
own laws.
