White Pine County.

Hiehout uouuJ bne DILL Ior Jne organization
Of the county of White Pine has become d
INV. So ardently have the people of this
section desired the division of this Npunty
and the establishment of a seat of ~justfea at
. convenient point, that they have perniitk
ted, without serious complaint, ondefh &
grossest outrages committed upon then len
2aagaabs staAl
bodies. The county is organized, witfRhds
election Of officers, scarcely, any of whApI
are residents of it or ever were within Hs
limits. Never before in our Republic was
there such an outrageous usurpation Of
power, which is Of the same character as
some of the acts Of the King of Great Brit
their independence. and rebelled against the
established government. 0ne of the most
serious complaints made in our immortal
Declaration of INDEPENDENCE, was that the
Hing had sent officers 10 rule over them and
to eat out their substance. The Carson
Legislature has sent officers to rule over us,
or rather has sent men to occupy the offices
supposed TO boz remuneratiye. The Offices
are supposed to insure the holders a fortune,
and therefore those in power saw fit to de-
prive the citizens of the choice, and also to
place their particular friends in place, with

to record our censure of the Legislature,
andstour protest against any such usurpa-

sf the terms OF tho bill, so far rs we UNDER
stand ", the county limits and the character
OF the OF cers appointed we have nothing to
eomplaini The officers appointed, unless
changea fter the Legislative caucus held on
3 tho 10th, are as follows Sheriff, Edward
Irwin CLARK, II. NJ. Eddy Recorder, w.
Il. Leckhart Assessor, Augustus Ash;
Treasurer, M. w. Kalos Surveyor, 70. H..

superintendent of Public Schools, II. s..
Merrick County Commissioners, Frank
Drake,'Frank Wheeler and T. r.. Cranley.
None Of the principal officers can claim a
residence in the county, and will come upon

Office il not creditabie to them, however
worthy they may be as men and innocent Of
any crimoin the matter, and in any subse-
kduent e8csdael- WAL tap4l~-apainE- them to
Their injury. Tho Sheriff, Ned irwin, Is Il
good appointment, and event. o nonresident
we are ready to accept him. He has acted
in the same capacity formerly, has for sew
oral years acted as United States Marshal OF
Nevada, and is undcabg eddy one Of the best
men FOR Tho position ip the State. This
appointment will ligbtea the indignation
against the Legislature, but OF the other
officers, aside from the Commissioners, we
know Of no special point Of commentator
nor condemnation. They perhaps are as
good as we would have elected, and as they
are to be our officials and our fellow citizens,
we will make u virtue of necessity, accept
tAenl and welcome them to cur midst.

popular ages ago, and we may we'll adopt it,
itnd Joyfully accept the situation. OF the
Commissioners we need not speak. They
Z are VOL known and very popular citizens,
men Of integrity and honor, and with them
we can confidently ,entrust the finances Of
cur county. OF the manner in which the
judicial District is divided or provided for,
