EVENING STAR.
Further from San Francisco

The Vigilance Committee, moreover. we
have the fullest assurance, had determined to
SIT an perpetntty until not only the city of
San Francisco, but the entire State, should be
subjected to a thorough publication. Our in
formants state that they have prepared q
black list, embracing the names Of about one
hundred and eighty of the most notorious
murderers, thieves and black-legs, all of whom
will be required to quit the country, at short
notice, or contemplate the contingency of
summary judgment before the tribunal of
Judge Lynch. Among their names are said to
be the following:
Dave" Broderick, from New York.
Yankee Sullivan. from New York
Charley Duane, {" Dutch Charley,") from
New York.
Billy MuIligan, ("great on the pistol
from New York -
Bill Lewis, boarding house keeper)
Colonel james, Qawyer)
Ned McGowaD, (judge)
Daniel Aldrich, [black-leg)
The two last mentioned, as soon as the de-
termination Of the Vigilance Committee leak
ed OUT had departed for parts unknown-to-
gether with numerous company of what our
correspondent delicately designates as "shOul.
-hitters'' and ''baliotbox suffers - The
Col James, who figures in the list as claw
yer" is said TO be notorious for his success in
procuring the Liberation of Grimm ais and, in
this way, has made himself obnoxious to the
general Indignation.
The name of Broderick is said to head the
list-the same Broderick who ehone as one of
the q bright particular stars among the
"bruisers and b hoys'' Of the city some wears
src,, and whose subsequent career in Califor-
MIA, politically, was such, we thought, as to
give promise for him Of better things We
need not say anything Of Yankee Sullivan.

York on the 9TH Of June, 1854, forfeiting his
81 500 recOgnizance to appear to answer the
charge of prize fighting with Morrissey at
Boston Four Cornes) Arriving at San Fran
cisco, he opened a fash porter house, on a
grand scale, at rent of $500 per month The

which was the common rendezvous of all the

quarreled with his partner, Mulligan, who
was the financial partner-the partnership
was dissOlved-and "The Gibraltar" was

and gave exhibitions of ''the muscle" and the
next we hear of him, is his arrest, at Nevada,
for acting as second in prize fight. He gave
bail, and returned to San Francisco, where he
led the idle life of a professional vagabond
About this time. his former partner, Multi
gan, (Gibraltar Mulligan,) gave him a severe
hogging. In September last, he left suddenly
for Honolulu, Sandwich Islands.
Here his fortunes seemed to take turn for
the better. The bruiser, in a short while,
managed to ingratiate himself into the good
graces of His Majesty King Kamehameha,
and for a while he was quite favorite with
the ladies at his Court-these sometimes ac
cepting his company at the opera and other
places of amusement. The natives, however
feeling indignant at the Kings fondness for a
stager of this character, Sullivan judged 1t
expedisnt to emigrate back to San Francisco
as suddenly as he had come. At San Fran

career, since he left New York. If he escapes

fought Sullivan in February, 1850, we think
down in Maryland, this Dutch Charley figured
prominently, and was always looked upon as
a lion among the fancy fraternity. Dutch left
for San Francisco shortly after the fight aboVe e
alluded to. In California his career was with

old Vigilance Committee of 1851 had in refer

with a conspiracy to rob the banking house of
Palmer, Cook Co. Subsequently he was
elected Chief Engineer Of the San Francisco
