Democratic State Convention.

When and where shall the Democratic
State Convention be held, for the purpose of
selecting Delegates to represent California in
the National Convention? -Four years ago
it met in Sacramento, in the latter part of
February. We are not very particular as to
the time of holding it, but should prefer an
early day, but have decided preference for
Sacramento. The Legislature will be in ses-
sion, and during its deliberations many per-
sons visit the city, either on business or to
see the assembled wisdom of the State."-
Besides Sacramento is central, convenient and
has ample accommodations. The San Joaquin
Republican suggests sacramento as the place,
and the Sth of January as the time"-both
of which we approve. We should commence
the campaign early and conduct it vigorously.
Our opponents are organized, active, unscru-
pulous and to compete with them it is ne
cessary for the Democracy to organise
When and where, gentlemen of the Central
Committee, shall the State Convention be
held.-Mountain Democrat.
We have heretofore alluded to this subject,
and would again suggest to the State Central
Committee it is time they were moving in
the matter.

Later from Salt Lake.

Dates from Great Salt Lake City have
been received up to the 3 lst of October -
We learn from the Deseret News that the
market was being well supplied with a large
stock of goods of various kinds. Buildings
and improvements were constantly being
made. Major Burton and command had re-
turned to Salt Lake City from an expedition
against some Snake Indians who had mani
tested signs of hostility in the country around
Fort Supply (Green River) He reports
everything quiet and the Indians friendly.
Various companies of immigratng saints had
arrived, and were arriving in the Valley
They report having had no trouble with the
Indians, but that the Government troops had
brush with the Sioux, not far from Ash
Hollow, in which they killed l20, took seve-
raj squaws and children prisoners, and only
lost five of their men. Orders to cease trad
ing with the Indians had been received at
the trading posts at the Devils Gate and
Hams Fork and those traders had packed
up their goods. There was a sample of cot
ton, beautifully white fine and silky, in Gov
ernor Young's office, grown in the territory.
The accounts of the wheat crop are distres
sing. At Mantl corn and potatoes were doing
well, and there were prospects of few bush
els wheat. Only twenty bushels of wheat
had been raised at Parowan, and frost had
cut off the expectation of late crops. In
Carson county, the crops yield about two
thirds of the amount sown.

Todd's Valley Correspondence.
Division of Placer County,

Mr.. EDIToR--I notice the Iowa Hill News is
advocating q division of the county, l therefore
wish you to make room for this communication on
the subject, believing that the discussion of it is
one Of more importance than any other which
now attracts the attention of our citizens.
In this portion Of the county we unhesitatingly
oppose the move believing that our interest would
be greatly injured by division. And we know
full we'll that there is more security for US, by re-
-maning as we are than by trying the uncertain
ties of new county, assuming heavy debt. with
no money in the treasury. no public buildings of
any kind, which must be built at heavy expense,
and of course heavy taxes must ne levied and the
tax payers must pay them. We fear the effects of
q new Indebtedness. and we pay heavy taxes,
although we do not complain or think we are un-
Justly taxed. But, see what would be the conse-
quence if little petty county had to support the
same number Of county officers as the entire coun-
ty does now and heavy debt to start WITH
Why, the very fact itself shows that we would
have to repudiate or be almost bankrupt at the
start. xxx says. "therc would be two sets of
officers to support, true,-now we only have one
and does the correspondent of the News expect
the new set are going to work for half pay if the
county is divided. Certainly not. The sum paid
to county officials is comparatively small to other
expenses
a division will impede the rapid development
of the rich resources of this divide, it will depre-
cate the value of property and retard mmig gra-
tion. Who wants to invest. or who will invest
money, in a petty county so deep in debt that it
will require almost double the amount of taxes
that could be collected, to keep it up.
1t is just as convenient for us to go to Auburn
as it would be to Iowa HILL The present county
seat is lavorably situated in central position for
the whole county, and when occasion requires our
attendance at it in the winter. we don't have two
or three feet of snow to contend with as the case
is at Iowa Hill.
We now live in county of some Importance.
fourth in political strength and magnitude in the
State, are felt in our legislative bodies but di-
vide, and our political power is destroyed.
The News man says. that the question of a di-
vision was exciting the attention of the people
of Placer" 1t is true, but the excitement is the
reverse Of what he would make US believe. Here
are opposed to q division, aud shall do our
part against it.

n. Wing Party9 Let circumstances speak.
Now for our model Treasurer We think
the law requires the Treasurer on the lst
Monday in each month to settle with the
County Auditor and pay out all funds in his
hands upon the county Indebtedness in the or
der of acceptance; at least we know that our
late Treasurer on the lst of each month knew
what he could pay, and we think that he also
informed the public by advertisement what
numbers he would pay; and we think also
that if during the month before his final
monthly settlement he received county mon
eys he changed his numbers advertised and
paid it out at once, thereby saving an amount
of interest to the county. | think | have
seen an advertisement of our model Trea-
surer, in the Press, telling the folks that on
the lst of each month they might see what
he would pay, and think that the first ad-
vertsement he made stands as it did at first,
somewhere in 500 Of the old issue Although
l have dealt but little in scrip, know of
numbers having been paid, issued and ac-
cepted long after those advertised-but |
presume the Press can tell all about the Doc
tors reasons for not advertising, and also for
not making his accounts up at the time law
requires. But enough now.
