The Election.

From the notice published in another
column 1t will DO seen that the election
which was to have taken place on the 9th
instant has been postponed to tho 23d
instant. Some opposition to the sub
scrlptlon has sprung up on tho ground
that the former notice was not sufficiently
explicit on the subject of interest, and the
County Commissioners, desiring to have
tho matter fairly presented to all, have
Withdrawn the former notice and consc-
quently changed the day of election
1t was tho understanding of the petit
TONERS that the bonds were not to draw
interest until tho road should be COM
-pieteJi to this point, and it is proper thr Z
the notice of the election should conform
to the prayer of the petitioners. This
will no doubt be gratifying to those who
are opposed to the subscription, as they
will have more time in which to get
ready for the fray. Those who are in
favor of the road have nothing to lose by
the dolay. 1t is just n plain business
proposition. Will it be good invest
ment for Pickens Township to subscribe
10000 to this road, to be paid in annual
instailments running for twenty years,
after the completion of the road to this
point3 Those who think it will not be
beneficial will talk agaist it, and thus try
TO keep this part of the county in the
back woods. Those who can look bey-
ond the present interest of self to the
good of their children will advocate it,

To the Editor of THE HERALD.
find our expectations are not always
realized. From its being SO broadly
slated that all you newspaper people
were unreliable and generally wrong, l
took it for granted that our new lumi-
nary of Democratic doctrines would
keep out of blunders, Inaccuracies and
untruths, but alas for earthly expecta-
tons.
In the Democrat of June 18th, one OF
their reporters writing of Eureka, in
Juab County, states as follows:
There are many drawbacks to the
town, the saddest being the treatment it
gets from Juab County, Let facts and
figures be the proof of the assertion.
The Territory derives yearly revenue
from Eureka of about 5000, and the
county is enriched to the amount of
$1,000 per annum. This fat thing has
been going on for fifteen years, since
1870. when Tintic was first opened up,
with, of course, such notifications as
the developments of the mines alone
have made. During all these years the
camp has never received dollar in re-
turn, or yet representation among the
county officers, and consequently never
knew what became of the vast sums
that have been collected by the officials
of the Peoples Party. No appropriation
has ever been made for repairing of
roads, prosecution of criminals, aiding
the poor, or assisting III any way in the
80 no onH ~
of the people. There is no place to con-
no such officers of the law as are needed
among a mining population of 700
people, many of whom spend much of
their money in whisky and some of
their time in fighting. Desperadoes may
murder, thieves may steal. honest tax
paying people may be swindled, but
they are powerless TO defend or protect
themselves.
These are facts, and they are an out
rage upon liberty, society and free gov
eminent; a disgrace and burning |
shame upon the manipulation of public |
affairs in this Territory; most fragrant |
abuse of power by party that has |
made record, that in day not far |
distant will speak volumes against its /
method in carrying On |
the affairs of representative and free
government:
Perhaps no statement more CON-
pletely untrue has found its way even |
in the columns of your downtown
cotem., unless perhaps it may be the
famous Bishop West discourse 1 have
been somewhat familiar with the affairs
of Juab County for the greater part of
the time mentioned by the Democrat,
and for the last seven years have been
