would il be before this item alone would
pay the interest on these bonds Not
many years certainly.
Again, there is the item of lumber
one of the most important of all, in its
immediate and secondary results. Pine
lumber is now worth in st. Anthony,
Minnesota, twenty-three dollars per
thousand feet. 1t can be brought from
there by this road, at three dollars per
thousand It is worth Wholesale in Dur
buque $50 per thousand, and now costs
us here from $50 to $50. Look what
an item there is here. How long would
the people of this county be in saving,
in this one item alone, the full amount c!
both principal and interest ofthese bonds
How much in the way of buildings +? how
much in the way of fencing? how much
in the consequent rise of prairie land,
would Buchanan county thus be benefit
ed Look at this calmly and fairly,
farmers and citizens of Buchanan coun-
ty. Pay no heed to interested falsifyers,
but look at the facts yourselves. Throw
aside your prejudices, and let your judg-
ments guide you. Investigate for your
selves. Do not be satisfied with ours
or any other persons assertions or de-
auctions, but canvass the matter for your
selves, and we feel perfectly sure that you
cannot avoid the conclusion that it is best
to risk $3.50, 900, when the promised re-
suits thus equal millions.
If, then, you could afford to pay this
sum for securing the road-if it would
be matter of policy and of interest to
have it even at that expense-how can
you justify yourselves in its opposition
when you can obtain it without any con
tingency of such sacrifice :? Recollec'
that the company are compelled to give
security for both principal and interest Of
these bonds, and is required to spend
them within your own county, which
must secure you the road without a cent
of cost. These are facts. Look at the
proclamaton-looka at the card of the di-
rectors, stating that it is both their wish
and intention to give security for princi-
pal and interest of the bonds-look at the
emphatic declaration of Mr.. TABOR, tina
if elected he will demand the best of Sc
curity for both-and, finally, look at the
bitter feeling of opposition to the projec
which animates the present Judge and op
posing candidate-and then say, how IL
the name of all that is ght and reasona
BILE, is the county going to suffer by thi:
loan, and what risk you run by voting it
She cannot suffer, nor can there be any
risk.

A- Citizens of Buchanan COUNTY

IY- Citizens of Buchanan County,
remember that Judge Roszell has pro-
nounced the Proclamation of the Wapsi-
pinicon Valley Road a swindle, because
it does not state the equivalent to be given
for the principal of the bonds--although
the proposition was to loan your credit,
not make gift. Read the following proc
lamation of his own, which he worked
for, wrote for, and talked for, and then
say, If his assertion is correct, whether he
himself is not an attempted swindler +;
whether you do not think the motive
prompting such an assertion a base
one-condemning him alike whether it
is true or false.

/, o. II. p. Roszell, County Judge Of said
County, in accordance with the request of the
numerously signed petition of the citizens of said
county, do hereby order that q special election
be held in each of the townships of said county,
on the Goth day of May next to determine whe-
ther said county will assist in the con struction
of the Dubuque and Pacific Railroad in said
county, by issuing two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars in bonds of said county, bearing in
terest at the rate of ten per cent per annum, the
principal sum OF said bonds to be payable in IL
IL, - and 20 years, said bonds to be issued and
bear date on the first Monday of July next pro-
vided said Railroad Company shall be ready to
receive the same, and to give satisfactory assur-
ance to the County Judge of said county, that
the proceeds thereof shall be used exclusively in
the construction of said road within said county,
and that the Railroad Company shall pay the in
terest on said bonds, until the Road shall be
open for business as far as the town of Indcpcn-
dence, in said county and for six months there
after. And for the purpose Of securing the ul-
innate redemption OF said bonds, and the pay.
ment of interest thereon, in accordance with the
provisions of the Code in such cases made and
provided, it is also submitted whether d tax of
one per cent per annum, to be continued from
year to year, shall be levied on the taxable prop
erty of said county it being understood that
the Railroad Company shall pay any dividends
which may be earned and declared on the stock
belonging to the county, in discharge Of interest
due on said bonds, and that no tax shall be
actually collected unless the dividends declared
shall be insufficient. The form of the vote shall
be for the Railroad, and " against the Railroad "
Every vote for the Railroad shall be considered
as in favor of the foregoing proposition entire,
and every vote against the Railroad, shall be
considered rs against the aforesaid proposition
entire.

~ We have examined map Of the
line of this road from Anamosa to Fair
bank, distance Of $50 miles. The map
has been finished during the week by
Mr.. J. M. KELLY, of the Engineer Corps.
~ f.... ann juus ,uvrv- po....'v, no ~ ca
press an opinion, the line seems to be
very favorable, and easy of construction
We are assured by Mr.. KELLY that there
will be no necessity of putting in curves
of a less radius than 1865 feet. A train
of cars can run, we are told, nearly AS
fast and just as safe on such a curve as on
straight line. The maximum grade is
to be $3.50 to the mile, and there are
but few places where the profile exhibits
so heavy grade. The line is every way
feasible, and, with the exception of few
miles near Anamosa, will cost less for
grading than any road ever con structed
in Iowa.

INDEPENDENCE ITEMS.
INpEnKNpENCE, July 92.

lNDEHKNDENCE, july ".
Mr.. EDITOR But little out of the us
ual course has transpired since my last,
in our thriving town. Our citizens are
so generally occupied in the active pur-
suits Of business, that they have not time,
if they had the inclination, to make food
for local gossip of thrilling interest,""
Our politicians, and especially candi-
dates for Office, are quite active in their
efforts with the dear people" to obtain
their votes, and promote their oacn inter-
ests. But this is excusable now -a-days,
l suppose, because it is the universal
custom. A great many years ago, can
remember, it was fashionable for Offices
to seek the men, now, men seek the Off
ces. But, seriously, our candidates are
all excellent, and the Republicans of Blu
chanan county will elect them triumph
antly.
Judge RoszELL, am told, is solicit
ing the votes of Republicans, on the
ground of personal friendship, while the
Civilian urges his election on the ground
of securing a great Democratic triumph
That's the system of tactics made use
of. Privately disclaiming party issue,
and publicly attempting to whip recreant
Democrats into the Roszell Il Jamison
traces, by appealing to their partizan
prejudices. Republicans, do not be
gulled with any such clap-trap arrange
ment! This personal friendship is all
CANNON The Democrats want to elect
their Judge by Republican votes, and
then herald it abroad throughout the
State that Buchanan county is true to the
principles of Border Ruffianism.
The heated term is over for the pres
ent, and we are now enjoying delightful
weather. Considerable futtering has
been occasioned here among the flour
spectators, in consequence of the sud
den decline in the price of that ataple
product. Three or four intensely wise
men in this town thought they were GO
ing to make their everlasting fortunes in
less than no time, by purchasing large
quantity of wheat, and forcing flour up
to an extrayagant price. They succeeded
in creating panic for while but
thanks to Mr.. Sherwood, who owns the
mill here, they were beaten at their own
game, and the result of their folly is that
they are losers to large amount Yer
dict of the community" Served 'em
right"
Quite an excitement was occasioned
In town the fore part of this week, by a
rumor that the women were organizing
company for descent upon the rum
hells, intending to destroy all they could
lay their hands on. A band of women
ostensibly for that purpose has been
formed, but up to this time no demon
stration has been made. The proprietor
of one of these dens was terribly scared,
and called upon the police authorities to
protect him and his property from the
threatened assault Brave man, to fear
company of inoffensive women Last
evening handful was circulated calling
upon the boys of the Dead Rabbit
Club to assemble for the purpose of
taking some action in the matter. Their
meeting was secret, however, and l have
not been able to find out what transpired.
Things were all quiet with us :" at sun
down = but if anything turns up very
exciting. | will send you Especial dis

Ey- A writer in the Cedar Rapids
Times takes exception to an article of
ours published some time since, in refer
ence to the Cedar Valley Railroad and
its exertions to form a consolidation with
the Minneapolis and Cedar Valley Rail-
road Company of Minnesota. The gen
tleman, however, very wisely leaves the
main position in the ck-ground--in
deed, not even noticing (which was,
that all the reports of consolidation be-
tween the G. l. d. N. R. R. and the Min
neapolis Company were cut from the
whole cloth, and had no foundation in
fact. Since then the Times, in answer
to an article in the Linn County Register,
stated it, as positive fact that such
consolidation had been resolved on, and
gave the time and place at which the
Directors of the Dixon Air Line, the
Clinton, Iowa and Nebraska, and the
Minneapolis and Cedar Valley Roads
were to meet to consummate it, But
what has the Times to say to the late re-
port of the Directors Of the Dixon Air
Line Road, in which it is stated that no
such arrangement had or would be made,
and how will it reconcile the two Be-
sides, we also beg leave to call attention
to the following from H. G. KELLY, the
travelling correspondent Of the Dubuque
Express d Herald, writing from Fari-
bault, Minnesota.
can impression has got out. and in
fact it has been so represented by the
agent of the Cedar Valley r. r. of Iowa,
in r. R. meetings in the northern coun
ties, that consolidation had been efec
ted by that Company with the Minneapo-
lis and Cedar Valley r. r. of M. IT,,
which representation has materially aided
the Iowa Company in obtaining the loans
of the counties.
81 am authorized by one of the prom
inent directors of the M. d G. V. r. R.
of M. T. to contradict this statement, and
to say that so far no connection or con-
soldation has been made or effected with
the C. V. r. r. of Iowa, although urgent
solicitations has been made by the latter
company"
1t may be possible that the Times and
its correspondent p, as well as the three
or four directors of the G. I. & N. R. r.
who, over their own names made SINH
lar announcement, have been deceived,
but we are inclined to think as we before
limited, that the wish was father to the
thought, and that there never was the
least possible foundation for any such
announcement. We would also say, for
the benefit of p and the Times, that Mr..
LANGwoRTHY, of Dubuque, has but re-
Gently returned from Minnesota, where
he has been endeavoring to make an ar
rangement with the Minneapolis Com
pany, in favor of the Dubuque, st. Pc
ters d St. Paul Road, and states that he
met with no success whatever, and that
the Directors of the Minneapolis Com
panv told him plainly that the Road tbas-
wanted is the Wapsipinicon Valley Road
If this does not satisfy P. and the Times,
they may possibly, before long, have a
more satisfactory demonstration of its
truth.
