P.S. I perceive by the News that Bro Gardner Snow of Manti City is elected Probate Judge for this County. He is
a very good man; but is completely wraped up in his son Warren and in George Peacock. The people of Sanpete
have paid Taxes now for many years, and no improvements
can be seen but the jail half finished by Bishop Snow. It
is like all improvements in Manti, unfineshed. Several
Back houses have been begun, but I know not one finished
The jail in like condition. $4,500 was the contract price
for completeing it, as I am told, when $2,000 would build and
complete a much better building than that would be of finished
The county is greatly in debt, and no improvements that are
of much or any use at all. The tithing office has suffered,
the county has suffered, the Perpetual Fund has suffered
The people have suffered by their stoks [stock] being made into
strays and then into beef. The Indian department has
suffered, Missionaries have suffered by their donations going
in the same way. The people of Sanpete think the
Bourbons have reigned long enough, and that Bornbas
Dynasty should end. If the county seat were removed
forom Manti to Moroni or to Springtown it would
suit the notions of the people much better. If to Moroni M. D Hamilton should be Probate Judge, if to Springtown, Redick Allred should be appointed the Judge, I have
expressed no opinion here as to the removal of the county
seat, neither any with regard to this choice of a Judge
yet the above are my true sentiments and 19 twentieths
of the people here would endorse them, the opinion
of our representative to the contrary notwithstanding
