and burtbensome taxation. On the other
hand let the county seat remain at Coloma-
it being nearly central, equal justice is
meted out to all isolated parts of the coun-
ty, the $4,000 in county buildings is saved
and the special tax not levied.
The interests Of the people at large are
not jeoparded, nor do they apprehend they
will be so long as Coloma remains the coun-
ty seat. "Actions speak louder than words" :"
and thus far Coloma has tamely submitted
to put up with just such county buildings
as the tax payers wished, while at The same
time had it pursued the greedy course man
ifested by Placerville, it IS reasonable to
suppose that the county would have pos
sessed one Of the most gorgeous court
houses in the State, together with an in-
debtedness of perhaps 100000 as an off
set. But instead of this we fad by proper
frugal management that the county is out
of debt, or nearly so, and is provided with
buildings amply necessary for all purposes.
Vest Plscerville with the same power and
our word for it, property holders will quail
beneath the heavy and unnecessary taxa
tion which our avaricious neighbors will
manage to have imposed in order to secure
the county seat through all time. County
buildings of every description and of the
most costly kind will be erected immediate
y, regardless of expense, which will run
the county in debt IN short time not less
than $500 900, Notwithstanding the $780,
900 special tax. Should not such crisis
in our financial affairs lie deplored and guar
ded against? Most assuredly. We will
cite one comparison and mark the differ
ence. County scrip is now worth its face,
and for every dollar appropriated fall val
ue is received. Run the county in debt
say $2O0-000 and its scrip will depreciate
at least fifty per cent, therefore, in order
10 purchase it matters not what amount,
"the more the merrier, TWO dollars is paid
instead OF onc. Depend upon it, the re-
moval of the county scat is injudicious
It is grave matter which should be well d.
gested in all its various shapes by those in
tereSIed.

showers being confined to to the nighttime;
and up to the time of going to press the
