10 THE CITIZENS OF 0Rov1LLE AND VI.
cINITY: Gentlemen-Your roads are in a
very bad condition, and unless repaired
without delay,will soon, if the present rainy
weather continues, (Which we have reason
now TO expect} be almost impossible. The
evils arising from a bad condition of our
roads are too apparent to all classes of COM
munlty to render rehearsal Of them neces-
sary, and as roads cannot be repaired with
out means, to work with, and as there is no
funds on hand at this time for that purpose,
the undersigned hopes that all partys who
nave not paid their road tax for the present
year will do SO promptly, without having to
be called upon the second time; by so doing
the time necessarily spent by the Overseer
III collecting, will be shortened, and a conse-
quent saving effected in the road fund.

Denver, and P. I. Herbert, Members of
Congress from the State of California
GENTs.-Allow me to suggest to YOU as
the Representatives of the State of Califor-
fornia, and through you to the proyer COM
mittees in each branch of the American
Congress, the dire necessity of ascertaning
the true boundary line between the State of
California snd the the Territory of Ttah, 1t
Is contended in good faith by large and
respectable portion of the citizens of Carson
Valley, that they are citizens and residents
OF the State of California, while ou the other
hand 1T is cOntended by the Mormons that
the whole of Carson Valley is in Utah Ter
rltory. Indeed, while | was in Carson Val
ley, holding the July term of my count,
was induced to believe that the whole ST
Carson Valley is in Utah; and in view OF
that state of the case | exercised Federal
jurisdiction over what | now beliye to be
portion OF California. An important case
has been taken to the Supreme Court of
Utah Territory, and is to be argued at our
next January term, wherein it is exceeding
ly doubtful whether the parties to the suit
anu the property IN controversy are not all
located in the county of Ell Dorado, Califor-
MIA. Therefore, in view of justice being
done alike to each-California and Utah
the boundary line should be determined at
this time. A bitter feeling pervades the
minds of the people of that valleywho are not
Mormons, on the ground of the collector OF
revenue in Carson county, collecting taxes
from the body of the whole valley for the
benefit of Utah.
At this time l deem it useless to 20 into
detailed reasons why the boundary line
should be determined soon, and it is suffi-
elent for me to say that open rebellion now
exists in that region to the laws of Utah,
which the Gentiles deem unjust and oppres-
sive, and for me or any other Judge to 20
there distance of fifteen hundred miles at
a cost of twenty thousand dollars to the
Federal Government, with all the dangers
and privations Of life in our travels. in a
barbarous and savage country, and then by
an act Of the Utah legislature hold Court in
Ell Dorado county, California; Gf such is the
facD is a matter wholly and entirely un-
warranted in law or usage.
Allow me, gentlemen. in spirit of kind
ness to call your attention to those facts and
circumstances, not with view of fault-fnd
lug. but that sheer juseice may be done.
With sentiments ofhigh regard, am your
obedient servant,

The municipal election in Baltimore comes off to-

Democrats with having imported New York Should

and subsequently, the tavern Marsh Market Space
were attacked by mobs of the Know Nothing Or a

driven of by the use of firearms. One man was
shot aud number of otf ers severely beaten. The

day contains several articles which they be not de
