We have al length retched a oriil in
our civil affairs which should awaken the
strongest and most earnMt anxieties of
every heart. Wa are compelled by truth
and duty le announce the alarming Tact
that we fere in slate of total anarchy.
There it; to Tar ae wc can see, no Irgal
protection for either person or property In
this Territory. We asked one of our
ablest lawyers the other day how we
should proceed to procure a srammf, or
kabtti eorpu: Ills reply was that he
knew of no officer who wss authorized to
Wue cither. Can the citizens of this
city sleep quietly in their beds in this to
tal! abtenco of civil officers, while the
place ia infested with aa many groceries,
and drunken vagabonds. We have no
civil officers, and what i worse, then is
so fares we know, no legal way of era.
ting any.
The only remedy for this unhappy state
of affairs, at Wait in this olty, is In the revi
vi 1 of the city corporation. We do hope
th:a our Ust call will be heeded, and city
officers be- elected. If"thls Is not done,
then murder and robbery may be perpe
trstid, and no security oaa be enjoyed ex
cept in repelling force by foroe. With
proper board of city officers a degree of
ordermsy be preserved until other officers
are created. When Gov. Lane is soae

We had prepared an article of some

enthusiasm with which our intelligent and
influential capitalists taken hold of tht
steamboat enterprise is of itself sufficient

this river. The persons who have taken
stock in Ibis company are all acquainted
withthf ebsrscier of thcriver and their

in this enterprise is conclusive proof that
they hate full confidence in tho feasibility
of its navigation. The appearance of
