D0NNER COUNTY.


+ We have not thought proper 10 discuss
The justice or propris,y Of forming The pro-
possd new county Of Donnsr out Of por-
,ions Of Placer,s El Dorado, Nevada and
Sierra. - ~ have always. bad doubts a. TO
the real desires Of The whole people Of the
Territory. Az The bill for the creation Of
the new county 10 nov. before The LegsIa-
turs - will say word OF two on The sub
jsct. The delegation from Placer cannot
possibly consent to The loss Of that portion
Of our people and taxable property, if they
are true representatives. Of the will Of their
constituents, without . condition precedent
which must be fulfilled before the &C. be-
comes Law. That done and an assut ance
that our people in that portion Of The coun'
~ desire the change and we will say in all
kindness, depart in peace. What We refer
TO 10 tie Central Pacif, Railroad bonds.
The whole people and. property Of Placer
became bound for $65o,oo0 in bonds and
interest 10 aid 10 the construction Of the
road. The new county must assume her
pro rata Of these bonds and interest ac-
cordiug TO The rumbsr OF miles Of road
she gets, receiving her ahars Of the stock in
the road proportioned TO the bonds she as
sumes. The bondholders and the Railroad
Company must consent to this and formal
Iy and legally rt,---. Placer forever from
any and all liability Il, the premises. 1t
will not do TO insert provision iu the bill
making the new i6dp.y responsible to PIa-
Ger for her share OF tho bonds but the
amount Of bonds and the numbers they
bear must be specified and their owners
must cancel them, 80 far as Placer county
is concerned, before the bill is passed.
We know too much, about the sediment Of
dsb.s between new and old counties, to &C
ssp* anything short Of tbis. So .bs friends
Of The new county had best ascertain at
once The number Of bonds to be redeemed,
who holds them, aud have them cancelled
90 far - Placer 10 bound, and then oil will
ts fair sailing. We have the kindsst feel
ing in the world towards the people Of the
Territory proposed 10 Be embraced in the
new county, but The owners Of the bonds to
30 paid BY The new county must release
Placer before Placer can possibly think Of
rslsasiog that portion Of the Railroad and
other property. We feel confident tina! the
movers in favor Of the new ooun ty will at
once recognize the fairness and justice Of
this condition and proceed to comply With
il. Should the new county movement fail,
tho two delegations should have the bouu-
d~y line 30 changed between Plassr and
Nevada ~ 10 include 10 Placer all the
population Of eastern Nevada that are now
compelled 10 travel 10 their county seat VIA
Dutch Flat or Colfax.-Auburn being on
the direct line Of travel Of these people and
much more convenient as county ssat than
Nevada city. This change would also be
just, 90 far IS the equities Of taxable proper
ty a. concerned, Placer having borne . heavy
contribution to aid ia tho construction f.bs
railroad while Nevada paid nothing.
