Examination Before Justice Wells

The quiet of our town was disturbed on
Monday last, by an examination before JUS
tice wells, of three men named Turner, Peter
son and Wool from Oregon Gulch, on charge
of murder of man named John Cooney.-
After hearing the testimony presented, JUS
tice Wells discharged the prisoners.
The facts are as follows: A Mr.. Mckenzie
had some difficulty with negro in the employ
of Turner. in which Mckenzie came off second
best Mckenzie was soon after drinking and
making some severe threats against the ne
gro, when Cooney, who was also drinking ad-
vised Mckenzie to kill the negro and offered
''to back him. The two then armed them
selves, Mckenzie with double barreled shot
gun, and Cooney with Colts revolver, and
long carving knife, and proceeded to the cabin
of the negro. On their way, they passed the
cabin of Turner between whom and Cooney
there had been some hard feeling, and inquir-
ed if the negro was there, and not finding hin,
Cooney made some threats against Turner
himself and then proceeded with Mckenzie
to the cabin Of the negro.
Turner knowing of their intentions to kill
the negro, called two Germans Wool and Pat
terson, and started after Cooney and McKen-
zie. On overtaking them Turner demanded
their arms, stating that he knew their object,
and they wo uld not accomplish it After
few words Mckenzie gave up his gun, and
Cooney threw his knife at the feet Of Turner,
and instantly drew his revolver and fired at
Turner without effect. Wool then fired at
Cooney with rife. Cooney fired second
shot at Turner, and received a sh OF from the
pistol of Peterson, both without effect Coon
ey presented the third time at Turner, when
Turner levelled his fowling piece at Cooney,
and both fired together-Cooney's bali struck
the muzzle of Turner's gun, and glancing
along it, touched his finger, while Turner's
charge of shot, took effect in the breast of
Cooney, killing him on the spot. Turner,
Wool and Patterson Immediately surrendered
themselves to the citizens, and were brought
before the nearest magistrate for examina-
ton
Cooney was native of New York, but had
removed to New Orleaes. He was Second
Lieutenant of the first regiment of Louisiana
Volunteers during the Mexican war, and as
we have been informed held a commission as
First Lieutenant in Whites Regiment, which
went to Yucatan at the close of the Mexican
war. Cooney was man of about forty years
of age, is represented as an intelligent and
peacable gentleman when sober, but when in
toxicated desperate

Another Slice of from Butte Co.

We see by the Senate proceedings of the
25th that Mr.. Peck reported back bill for
an act to amend an act to divide the State into
counties and estab blish seats of justice therein"
The object of the bill was to give portion of
the territory of Butte to Sutter county, and
in our estimation an important part of it
being the three Buttes from which this comfy
received it's name, and which rise with beau
tiful and majestic appearance in the valley of
the Sacramento. 1t must also cut off q con-
siderable quantity of agricultural land. occu-
pied by settlers. If we remember rightly,
the legislature heretofore set them over to
Suffer, but they were again restored to Butte
County through the exertons of our members.
And now Sutter has got them again. 1t may
be more convenient for the inhabitants of that
vicinity to be attached to Sutter county, but
the Buttes properly belong ed to this county,
and should never have given them to another
county. ''He who steals our purse, steals
trash, but he who flches from US our good
name," must expect to meet the frown Of our
citizens. How much of Butte does Colusa
county desire' and why don't her represent
atives move in the matter while the legisla-
ture are in the mood Whittle away. gen.
tlemen, and when you get our boundaries re-
duced sufficiently, dub US with the baptismal
appellation of Peck county. We should like
that quite as well as we do losing the grand
origin of our present name.

typo, has be en- below, and returned lately
with a Notarys commission in his pocket
from Gov Bigler, who is also typo. Califor-
MIA appears to appreciate the craft. Mr.. W.
is whig, and politically we do not care fig
for him, but printers who stoop from their
profession to fill offices should be careful how
they tolerate the society of politicians or they
may be led to exclaim. as did Gov. Bigler at
the Broderick supper, that she had been ele-
rated from the printers desk to the Governor
ship of California" The idea is preposterous,
and if the Governor had not got mixed up
with politicians who make office their God of
worship, he never would have considered him
self elevated from his profession to Office
He should be made to return to first princi-
ples-the ley trough and the roller. Printers
in office should bear in mind the steady and
glorious ascension of the divine Lola-She
was so hard up originally as to wed king,
but her we'll directed ambition continued as
cending until she became the wife of printer.
There is nothing dishonorabe or particularly
disagreeable in printer accepting Office, but
we opine it would not be SO frequently done
if the printers as a class were not disposed to
be accommodating. If the Mayor of Marys-
vile was not an old Ohio whig, and would
keep in view the dignity of his profession, and
at proper distance the disgusting political
buzzards who will crowd around him, we
should feel like saying there was bright ca
reer before him. As it is, he will doubtless
guard well the interests of Marysville, until
the democracy have chance to place their
heel upon the Hraderick serpent, and the
Gen. be permitted to arise to his former voca-
ton.

A PREsENT-Judge Wheeler of Meals

bank note, issued by the River Raisin Il Lake
Erie Railroad Company, bearing date Dec. 10,
1885, This carries an old Michigander back
to the wild cat times which once enveloded the
western States and rendered every man rich
until the day of reverse came, and showed by
sad and bitter experience that rags were not
cash, nor dried herrings legal tender. But
Michigan has nobiy recovered herself, as we
see by late jackson Patriot, for which we
are indebted to our old Michigan friend, Col
Baker, that she is out of debt and has over
half million surplus cash on hand She

and since that time has remained a staunch
and reliable democratic state-and reaps the
reward of her steadfast devotion to democrat
ic principles, by being the first of the western
states in clearing up her Indebtedness. With
her democracy we have labored through many
a hard fought campaign. and we are going to
do the same thing over again with the Califor-
MIA democracy. until it shall be no longer
said that she is ''knee deep in gold, and over
head and ears in debt" Then will the corrup-
tion of the present legislature be remembered
in scorn, and the name of Broderick and his
tools be buried in withering contempt.

Mr.. Editorials We often see in your val

localities, you will hardly refuse to publish
occasionally, short ones, if not SO interesting
to your general readers, from the agricultu-
raj portions of the county. Since the reno
val of our county seat from our town, we
have become quite plaee-not exactly the
town we mean, but the township of six miles
square For while our mining fLends in
Plumas, and other mining counties. are pick
ing up their treasures, and perhaps losing
treasure at home, we are content to live
rounded with our wives and babies. our chick
ems and pigs. Within this township there are
now sown and growing, and promises well,
some two thousand acres Of wheat and barley,
besides vegetables of all kinds Along our
stage road (by the bye, the best conducted
line in the State), where but year or two
ago were to be seen only an occasional pole
fence, you now see a continued substantial
one for three miles-but to give you more sub

places arc some distance back-some as much
as three miles. This larning they obtained
from an occasional chill and musquito bite on
the banks of the river, and in the vicinity Of
the sloughs As an evidence that it is more
healthy back from the river, we have instan-
ces of families Of six or eight, living even ono
mile back since 81, without a single days

not boast that we are ahead of other portions
of our county-for in passing by the "Half

this much we DO know, that in this section We
