CITT ELsCTIoN.-The election for city officers
comes Of next Tuesday, and it behooves every
man who has the character and prosperity Of
Placefville At heart, to interest himself in the
election Of proper persons to fill the various
municipal Offices. Our city has attained a
prominence and importance and permanence
second only to San Francisco and Sacramento,
her trade Is constantly increasing and her lin.
its have been greatly extended within the last
year. Upper Placerville is now embraced with.
In the city limits, aud she will have potent
voice IN our municipal affairs. Placerville oc.
eupIes . commanding position on the border,
whence the great body of emigrants to Washo,
Esmeralda, Humboldt, and Reese River have
started, and where the greater portion Of them
will permanently settle. An immense trade
has already sprung up between our city and
the large. rich and popuious country East Of
us, and this trade and population are constant.
u increasing. This is the centralo or radiating
point Of trade between California and the places
above mentioned, aud it will continue to be in
spite OF misrepresentation aud rival routes and
petty jealousies and sinister influences, if We
improve our present advantages. Much has
already been doue by our citizens, but more is
required to permanently secure the trade and
travel which others are exertIng themselves to
deprive Us Of How necessary is it, then, for
us to select our best, NEST efficient, capable
and energetic citizens to conduct our city af.
fairs for the ensuing year. None other than
competent men should be elected-permanen
citizens, identified in interest aud feeling with
the city, acquain ted with its affairs, knowing
its wants and solicitous for its welfare-men Of
experience, Of energy, of public spirit, of tinan
Cial ability-meu known beyond the city limits
and respected where known. We are building
Q railroad and we must not fail IN the enter
prise, and to secure the cooperation of outside
capitalists we certainly ought to and will FIVE
ere prudent elect men in whose ability, judg.
ment and honesty capitalists have confidence.
The growing importance of our city renders il
necessary for those most deeply interested in
It's welfare, to see that none but capable men
are elected. What the people are the most
deeply interested in, what will best promote
the interests Of Placerville, is the railroad, aud
we should be careful then to elect the men who
are the most likely to accomplish that desirable
object. This is not the time for petty political
squabbles. The welfare of Placervlle is at
stake, and if we act wisely We willescbew poll
tics in our municipal affairs, and act with but
one will for the benefit of the city.
