THE MISERABLE ASSASSIN.

| Young haliOcn, the miseFaDle assaB
sin, ia the son Of the man whC Wai
elected Mayor by K~arDey and his banc
of Communists. Young Kalloch is 4
drunkard and has been on debauch
for some days past, drinking very
heavily. He bad made frequent
threats Of his Intention to "GX" De
Young, hut no attention was paid tC
him, as it was simply regarded as the
vap0rirg of drunken man. His boast
ing was regarded with more indilfsr-
ence from the fact that since the shoot
ing of big father last August he has
boastel from time to time that De
Young would feel his venta nee. De
Young, who heard of this, did not pay
the slightest attention to the reports,
and as he always went armed, possess
ed undoubted courage and was un-
usually quick in his movements, his
friends were not at all alarmed for his
safety.
One Of the immediate causes of the
tragedy il by some believed to he the
recent appearance in this city Of a
phamphlst, entitled "Ouly Full Report
of the trial of |. S. Kalloch on the
charge of Adultery" This pamphlet
contained a portrait of Kalloch and the
woman with whom he was said to be
intimate, and pretended to give full
history of the affair, "doings Of the
church, Kalloch's pulpit experience, ar
rest, arraignmsnt, trial and result
Its imprint was "Boston, E1erhen &
Co, 1851" but it was generally re-
garded, with how much truth it is i'm
possible to say, that its re-appearance
was due to De Young, who went East
some time ago TO hunt up facts in the
career Of Kalloch. The pamphlet was
extensively circulated and the Kalloch
party were wrought to quite a state of
desperation. 1t came to add to their
trials and perplexities. De Young has
continued his vigorous criticisms Of the
Sand Lot Mayor and the miserable
ruffians who were controlling the oity,
and as the time for his trial for the
shooting of the Mayor drew near he be-
came more aggressive, and Kallooh's
friends became correapondingly exas-
perated.
There is no doubt that the young
man was egged on more or less by des-
psrate characters, who have recently
had such q set back in the arrest of
Kearney. and the talk of impeaching
the Mayor, that they took advantage Of
his beasting and pushed him on. De-
Young's aged mother, between whom
and her son an unusually strong atfec-
ten existed, is quite prostrated by the
shock of her sons murder, and as she
is about 80 years OF age 1t Is expected
that she will soon follow him TO the
grave. That the end ia not yet Is gen.
orally believed. De Young's brothers
are quite as courageous as he was, and
more Llood will be split before the end.
Young Kallooh on being arrested was
perfectly cool. He still carried the
smoking pistol in his hand, which lie
surrendered to the officer on his way to
the station house. He observed strict
retieence, and on being shown to his
cell positively refused to have any in
tereourse whatever with reporters Of
the press.
When the coroner's wagon bearing
the body of De Young turned from
Kearney into Market street the crowd
made sort Of rush that had the ap- ,
psarance Of being directed at the wa ,
gon. " might have been merely The
natural surge Of the concourse follow
ing the wagon on meeting the crowd
on Market street, but the police, view
ing 1t as an attempt at violence, used
their clubs freely, beating back the
crowd and inHicting severe punish
msnt on some Of the most forward ones.
