note showing that his death was the result of
deliberate intent. but assigning no cause.

San Francisco Workinsmen-Large Meet.
| ing Mt The sand Lots-The Law Re-
speeding Chinese Employees.
SAN Francisco, February 18TH The
| largest gathering for nearly year assembled
at the sand lot this afternoon, in spite of
the inclemency of the weather, the rain
descending at times in showers. Kearney
addressed the meeting, and said that he
wanted the unemployed to come out and
parade. He read the bill adopted by the
Legislature, calling. upon corporations to
discharge their Cinnamon. He was not
afraid of its constitutionality, for the man
who tested it would be in danger of losing
his head. [Cheers.l The Federal Courts
WOulu UOL utCldlC III anu
he would go further, and say that they
would not dare to. [Applause.l The
law of this State now echoes the
cry that the Chinese must go. Senator
Kane introduced the bill. If Selby or any
other man tests it, and the Federal Courts
declare it to be unconstitutional, like the
firing on Sumter it will arouse the slumber-
ing people all over the Union to action. If
bred Scott decision is contemplated by the
corporations, to the effect that this bill is I'M
constitutional, let me warn the Directors of
these corporations that the decisions of eight
to seven Judges cannot permanently over
throw the liberty of a great people de,
termined to be free. Now that the law is
passed and signed by the Governor, we want
it enforced. Governor Perkins, to his credit
be it said, was as anxious to sign the bill
as the rest of us were to have it passed. He
had to attend meeting of the Harbor Com
missioners in this city, but he waited until
the last moment, so as to sign the bill before
leaving, and did so, as you all are aware
We want the corporations now organized
under the laws of this State to comply with
the law just passed, and discharge these hated
lepers and fill their places with boys, girls,
men and women, and not talk about its I'M
constitutionality. The voice of the common
people is the voice of God, because it is the
voice of honest industry. and the will of the
people is the law of the land. The man who
tests its constitutionality will do so at his
peril. The people of the Pacific coast are
unanimous, and by corporations discharging
their Chinese Immediately it will help
our friends in Congress who are agitating
the suppression of Chinese immigration
and the repeal of the Burlingame treaty.
All of the mining companies will be kind
enough to comply with the laws of the State.
The man or set of men who refuse to submit
to the laws of this State is not fit to live. We
will soon see who the law-breakers are. The
remainder of his speech was devoted to the
usual attacks on capital, ETC.. and state
ment of the demands of the laboring class.
At meeting of the Ward Presidents to-day
motion for the appointment of a committee to
see that the law relative to the non-employment
of Chinese was carried out, and if necessary
to take legal proceedings against the corpora
lions to compel them to comply with it, was
carried and the Chair appointed the COM
mittee. 1t was suggested that Chas. O'Conor
and 3. F. Butler be retained as counsel by
the w. p. c., to appear for it in the United
States Courts. The Board. however, decided
to first hold consultation with Clitus
