COUNTY AssEssMENT.-Mr. Brennan the coun-
ty assessor isstll engaged in making a thorough
assessment of Grass Valley Township The last
act passed by the Legislature was one extending
the time for the completion of the assessment
roll of Nevada county, until the first Monday in
September next. but even this we apprehend
will not be sufficient TO enable him in person to
finish the labors Of thorough assessment. We
trust however that he will not commit the work
Of assessing 10 the hands OF deputies so long as
there is any hope that he will be able to ac-
complish It himself. We need at this time the
largest revenue that can be collected, and that
depends wholey upon the fidelity with which the
property of the county is assessed. We are not
disposed to see any oppressed by unfair and ex-
horbitant valuations, but we wish to see every
one bear his just proportion of the burthern of
taxation. .
