A New LAND DISTRICT. The late laws
passed by Congress for the disposal of mi
ming as well as agricultural lands adds i'm
mensely to the business of the Land Offices
and demands the creation of new districts at
eligible points. The constant contests be-
tween the various claimants under the differ
ent laws for the disposal of quartz mines and
agricultural lands and the attendance of nu-
merous witnesses renders it an absolute hard
ship, and often defeats the ends of Justice
where parties are poor to drag them fifty and
hundred miles to Land Office To meet
the wants of the public in this regard Land
Office should be established at Auburn. This
district should comprise Sierra, Nevada and
Placer counties and all that portion Of Ell
Dorado county lying north of the South
Fork of the American river. This territory
is sufficiently large, and under the approach
ing magnitude of the land business would
furnish all the business one Office could do,
and do it properly. The President is au-
thorized to form new land districts wherever
the wants Of the public demands them, and
this territory cries aloud for one and Auburn
is the business center where it should be To-
Gated. The increased business in the first
year would more than remunerate the Gov
ernmeat for all the expense Of establishing it.
The people of the territory named would, we
feel confident, unitedly join in the application
Give us the District and good officers, and
both the Government and people would be
vastly benefited. Get up the petition,-
Commissioner Wilson, on the proper show
ing will endorse it, and Grant vill grant it.

TIE RICHMOND DIFFICULTT.
The Richmond papers give full account

The Richmond papers give full accounts
of the difficulty which took place in that
city Last week. 1t appear. that the Gen
eral Assembly passed an act authorizing
the governor to appoint councllmeh Tor
each city, it being understood that the then
incumbents of those places, having been
appointed by the United States govern
mrnt, were not legal officers under the
new constitution, and that the offices were
vacant. In pursuance of the act above
mentioned Governor Walker appointed
eounclmpn for the city of Richmond, and
they elected H. X Elly>on, Mayor. The
Mayor thus elected notified the incumbent
of the office. George Chahoon, OF his elec-
ton. and requested the latter to transfer
to him all the property, books and record,
belonging to the city. This request Mr..
Chahoon refused 10 comply with, denying
the constirutionalitv OF the proceedings by
which E!ly>on WAS elected, and proceeded
to take measures to hold by force the city
rooms and property, while EilySon be-
>icged and endcavored to starve him out
Eoting followed and one or two men were
killed and several injured. At length
General Candy appeared upon the scene
of action with detachment of United
States soldiers and took possession of the
city rooms, not to interfere in the contest
of jurisdiction, but to preserve the peace
Finally Elly~on being supported by the
governor and probably the most Influential
portion OF the people of Richmond go,
control Of the city, in which peace now
reign>, and the dispute VIII be carried i,
the courts. to which it should have been
left at first.
The radical republicans in the State who
are opposed to the Walker r3gme will
sustain Chahoon. The difficulty has its
origin in the political division tina; ha, eN-
i>tel since the commencement of the State
campaign last year Fortunately tn re i
no farther dan ger of blood-hcd in this case
hut the spirit between the hostile factions
brcathes war and may break out in somt
other direction, although We hope there i,
growing disposition in Virginia a. wei
AS in all the southern States to have don,
with riots and refer their disputes to the
peaceful arbitration of the courts. like Other
civilized communities. Their prosperity
depends upon this.
