KEARNEY ARRESTED.
Dennis Kearney, the leading agitator, was arrested last Saturday night, in San Francisco, by
the policemen. He is charged, we believe, with seditious and threatening language. Kearney and his
friends claim that his arrest is in violation of the Constitution which guarantees free speech to every
man. While invoking the Constitution in one breath, so as to have a chance to stir up they masses,
they talk about hanging citizens, confiscating and destroying property, hanging jurors who may not
bring in verdicts according to the notions the agitators may have, and doing all sorts of things which
the Constitution does not approve, but the doing of which would badly violate that sacred instrument
which they invoke to secure free speech.
The agitators appear to respect only that principle of the Constitution which them think allows
them to stir up mobs to violence. It is of no use to tell them that they are inconsistent and that
through law and order all their grievances, whether real or fancied, can be righted. In exercising the
constitutional right of free speech Dennis Kearney uttered the following words, which we suppose
are in accordance with the constitution, but for saying which he was arrested. On the 29th of
October he said:
The Central Pacific Railroad men are thieves, and will soon feel the nerve of the
workingmen. When I have thoroughly organized my party we will march through the city,
and compel the thieves to give up their plunder. I will lead you to the City Hall, clean out
the police force, hang the Prosecuting Attorney, burn every book that has a particle of law
in it, and then enact new laws for the workingmen. I will give the Central Pacific just three
months to discharge their Chinamen, and if it is not done, Stanford and his crowd will have
to take the consequences. I will give Crocker until November 29th to take down the fence
