THE SITUATION LAST NIGHT.
The Murderer in Jail and the Streets
More Quiet.

San francisco, April 24-The killing of
Charles De Young by j. NJ. Kalloch, in the
Chronicle Office last night, has produced a sen
sation here which has rarely been equaled. The
young man had been on debauch for some
days past, drinking very heavily, and had made
frequent threats Of his intention to shoot De
Young, but no attention was paid him as il
was simply regarded as the vaporing of q
drunken man. His boasting was regarded
with more Indifference from the fact that
since the shooting of his father last August
he has boosted from time to time that De
Young would feel his vengeance. De Young,
who heard of this, didn't pay the slightest at
tentiou to the reports, and, as he always went
armed, possessed undoubted courage, and was
unusually quick in his movements, his friends
were not at all alarmed for his safety.
CAUSE OF THE TRAGEDY
The Immediate eause Of the tragedy that
startled and shocked the city last night is be-
ieved TO be the recent appearance in this CITY
of a pamphlet entitled 1.-The Only Fall Report
of the Trial of T. 8. Kalloch, on the Charge of
Adultery" This pamphlet contained neftrait
of KaliOch and the woman with whom he was
said TO be intimate aud pretended to give a
full history of the affair-doingS of the church,
Kslloch's pulpit experience, arrest, arraign-
ment, trial and the result. It's imprint was
Boston; EVerlan &c Co., 1857" but it was
generally regarded, with how much truth 1t Is
now impossible to say, that its appearance was
due to De Young who was known to have gone
East some time ago to hunt up facts in the
career of KallOch. The pamphlet was extern
sivelY circulated and the Kalloch party was
wrought to quite
STATE OF DESPERATION.
NJ, L.
Kalloch, and, as the time of his trial for the
shooting of the mayor drew near, he became
more aggressive, and Kalloch's friends became
correspondingly exasperated. There is no
doubt that the young man was urged on, more
or less, by the desperate characters who have
recently had such set-backs in the arrest of
Kearney and the talk of impeaching the
mayor, aud that they took advantage Of bis
boasting and condition to put him up to the
deed. The wOrkingmen made no effort to
disguise their feelings over the result. and are
gathered in groups, this morning, earnestly
discussing the situation.
DE YoUNG'S MOTHER,
between whom and her son an unusually strong
affection existed. is prostrated by the shock of
her sons murder. That the end is not vet is
generally believed. De Young's brothers are
courageous, and more blood will be split be-
O-N-s
everywhere, and though De Young was most
cordially hated, his love for his mother was one
OF the redeeming features in him, and many
words OF sym mpathy are expressed.
THE MAYORS LIFE IN DANGER.
The shooting of Charles De Young by young
KallOch last night has created such excitement
in this city as has never been equaled before,
even at the most stormy period of our history.
1t exceeds in violence the storm of public pas
sion and agitation that succeeded the shooting
of Mayor Kalloch by De Young in August last,
and has increased to-day to such an extent that
no one can foretell what the ultimate conse-
quenee may be. The feeling against the party
of which Kalloch and Kearney are leaders has
been growing stronger of late, and this assas-
sination has infuriated the people so that the
mayors life is not considered safe from public
vengeance. Threats are freely expressed against
him and the entire sand lot party. Young
KsllOch is in Jail and is closely guarded
