Point, Sierra Nevada and Kentuck mining
companies, brought by the State two wears
ago to recover about $1,5O0,OOO back bullion
taxes. When the actions were commenced
the complaints were demurred to ON the
ground that the several separate causes Of ac-
ton were united in one. The demurers were
sustained and the usual time given to amend
the complaints. Instead of amending, the
State appealed to the Supreme Court which
decided that the ruling of the lower court was
correct. The State still neglected to amend
the complaint, hence it was dismissed.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2O.-Union Hall

the occasion of the meeting announced by
Colonel Deane, a prominent stock operator,
for the purpose of telling the public of three
new bonanzas which he claims exist on the
Comstock, and of ~denounclng the manage,
ment of the mines controlled by J. G. Flood
and his partners. Denis kearney, who has
for several days announced his intention OF
breaking up the meeting was present with a
large concourse of his followers from the
Sand Lots, and before the meeting was called
to order rose in a body Of the house and made
an attempt to organize the meeting. Con.
fusion ensued, and Kearney was arrested and
taken to the station-house OH a charge of dis
turbing the meeting.
Mr.. Deane in opening referred to his speech
some months ago before the Bullion Club, Of
New York, in which he stated that he would
make known the whereabouts OF three bonan'
zas unless the management speedily uncov'

carving out his threat and of censuring q
man who had such opportunities Of doing
good as j. G. Flood, the evil genius OF thu
bonanza firm. He then dilated to great length
on the alleged INSCRIPTIONS coulse OF Flood
and bis partners, and after defending himsel
from the charge Of being inspirired by sinister
motives, proceeded to locate three bonanzas
The first he asserted to be in the Ophir, ex.
tending into the Mexican, probably into the
Union, and perhaps into the Sierra Nevada
He advised no one to buy Oh his say so, as
Flood would initiate the stocks and after nn'
loading break them down, and punish those
following the speakers advice. He asserted
that the existence of this bonanza On the 22O'
foot level of the Mexican was known to the
bonanza firm two years ago, but that the devel
opment in the Sierra Nevada was a surprise
to them. The second bonanza he asserted
was on the 22O0-foot level Of the Hale q Nor

one, and had spoken Of it before the Bullion
(1,h &c Simp1V a U0OI DrOSDeCt, lie ue
