KILLED AT MICHIGAN BLUFFS. - We
learn from a private letter, dated at Mich
igan Bluffs, Cal, Nov. 18th, that two men
were accidentally killed in the mines at
that place last Saturday. Marvin Kibbe,
was killed in the tunnel on his claim by a
sudden flood Of water. He was aged about
A years. and was a native of New York.
His partner, Johnson, was similarly killed
a year ago. John Klipinger lost his life
in another tunnel, about the same time as
Kibbe. He was about As years Of age,
and emigrated from Ohio to California.
Both men were highly respected BY the
people of the Bluffs. and their sudden and
melancholy deaths cast a gloom Of sorrow
over the neighborhood.

QUARREL ABOUT COUNTY BoUN-
DIARIES.

There is going to be a lively time in the
Legislature this session about county
boundaries. Lander county desires to
have the Blue Spring District, and the
North Twin River and Twin River Dis.
tricts annexed to its Jurisdiction. In all,
it claims a geographical extension Of at
least a twelve-mile square area. These
coveted districts, now known to be ex-
ceedingly rich, are at present in Nye
county. Esmeralda is after poor little
Nye, also desiring to bite off Silver Peak
and Red Mountain, on the south Of that
threatened county. This latter named
section Of Nye is of the approved rich
character of country. Lyon county is
after Esmeraida-wants the Walker river
country-must have it-won't take "No"
for an answer. We believe that Douglas
and Ormsby are at present in harmony of
relation on the boundary question !; but
no knowing when they may flare up.
Roop and Washoe want a REIMBURSEMENT
of line, or the Dutch Flat Company wants
they should have. The Consolidation Bill
for Storey county is being drawn up by
an aspiring young man of the Assembly,
who feels confident of his ability, by mere
force of genius, to put it through the
Lower House of the Legislature. But, of
course, he won't do it the first few days Of
the session there will probably be suf-
fcient dispute or debate about it to con
stitute i. a real part and parcel OF the
county boundary question-albeit wholly
and exclusively affecting one county.
So. you see, fellow-citizens, that the
short session is not apt to be much shorter
than the law allows. The county bound
aries question alone will occupy at least a
two-week session. And then-allt the rest
Of desirable legislation, before or after.

WHAT They THINK OF THE KILLING oP
MuLL1aAN IN New YoRK.-The following
extract from a letter by q gentleman in
New York, received in San Francisco,
shows in what light the people of that city
regarded the killing of the notorious Billy
Mulligan, by officer Mortimer Hopkins,
and gives some items Of interest in the
history of a scoundrel and desperate, of
whose presence the world is now happily
rid :
Perhaps no event could have created a
more general feeling of satisfaction than
did the receipt, in this city, ofintelligence
of the deserved death of the scoundrel
Mulligan. Everybody was gratiied, and
everybody told everybody else SO. I do
not suppose there is in this great metro
polls, where the miscreaut spent many
years of his life, more than one person
who feels any regret at his departure from
this earthly sphere, and that one is the
poor woman who married him q few years
ago. Mulligan had for some time lived
with a woman Of questionable reputation.
but good manners and considerable intel
ligence. She became very much attached
to him, and yielded in everything to his
wishes. On one occasion he kicked all
the females out Of the house; and when q
short time afterwards, the premises had
been filled with gentlemen dodgers only.
at his instance, he turned them out like
wise. HIS vicious inclinations kept him
~eternally embroiled with some one, and
finally he was sent to the State Prison for
killing or attempting to kill q policeman.
Now the angelic nature of woman appear
ed for, even in her fallen state, there is,
until the lowest depth has been sounded,
some redeeming trait in the female nature.
Eve induced Adam to eat Of the forbidden
fruit. but she became his true help-meet
outside Of Eden, and she and her millions
of descendants have, for six thousand
years, made this planet a second Eden to
man. This woman owned the house she
lived in. She married Mulligan, mort
gagged her house to ready money. end
Herewith she actually bought her husband
out of Sing Sing. There was no effort
too grpa, for her to make. But the rascal
repaid her in his W peculiar way, soon
abandoning her. I have heard from peo-
pie who know Mrs. Mulligan, that she
expended nearly all her means upon her
reprobate husband, and that now she has
not q thousand dollars in property and
money in the world. Even a lost woman
is sometimes deserving of charity. Faith.
Hope and Charity" says the inspired
writer, but the greatest of these is Chart
ty." This woman, alone, in this great
city, mourns the loss Of one who, a villain
to all the world, was yet dear to her.

DEMOCRATIC PROGRESSION.

The Democratic party, and the leaders
who control, and therefore really compose
it, are progressive, decidedly progressive.
