King Philip Corn.

Mr.. Newman butcher, of Niles, has
left in our Office some samples of King
Philip Corn, grown on his farm, three
miles east of st. Charles, the present
The ears are long, and have
eight rows of kernels, sound and hard.
Mr.. butcher says he planted this
corn past the middle of June, and the
crop is already thoroughly ripencd.
He is saving the larger portion of it
for seed, and it strikes us that this is
Just the kind of corn to be grown by
farmers in this latitude, as it yields
largely, natures early, and is very
heavy. Last season a large portion
of the corn crop was damaged by
~frosts, many farmers planting the
large southern kinds which require
long seasons to mature in. The King
to the acre and is a sure crop. The
seed was obtained from an Island in
Lake Winnipisseogec, in New Hamp-
shire, and has been distributed through
various Northern and Western States
by the Patent Office at Washington.
1t will mature in ninety days from
the time of planting, and yield from
80 to 100 bushels of shelled corn to
the acre, with fair cultivation. The
of the grain is superior, it be-
ing heavy, well filed with oil and
adapted to fattening animals. 1t is
also susceptible of closer planting
than most other kinds, and the stalks
are much better for fodder.

Iowa State Bank.

We clip the following from Thomp-
sons Reporter. 1t affords some little
insight into the pcrquisites, as well as
the machinery of Iowa banking. Read
it. 1t will well reward the perusal.
Iowa now has the foundation laid
for two systems of banking. The free
similar TO Illinois and Wisconsin,
and the State Bank system, with bran
chcs similar to Ohio. The free, or Sc
curity system cannot compete with
the more expansive State branch sys-
tom.
The mother bank of the Iowa State
Bank system, is to be Controlled by
one director from each branch. The
circulating notes of all the branches
are to be prepared and are to emanatc
from the mother, countcrsigned and
registered. The mother requires in
money or in State stocks, l2b per cent.
of all circulation furnished to branch
es, to be held as security for prompt
redemptions. The branches arc all
bound to take each others notes at
par, and in case of the failure of any
branch, its notes are not to be thrown
out, but the deposites of all the
branches are to b" applied to the re-
demption of the notes of the suspend
cd branch.
The branches are to be entitled to
notes on capital as follows:
A branch of 500, 900 capital to 5000, 600 notes
do do 100000 do 10000 do
Not more than rs per cent. of the
circulating, notes can be in dcnomina-
tons of five dollars and under.
The assets of an i~nsolvcnt branch
are to be appropriated--lst, to re-im-
burse all advances from the Safety
Fund, to discharge outstanding liabil-
tiles. Cd, the residue. if any, to be
divided among the stockholders.
The law chartering this bank is am
pie in details. 1t provides for almost
every conceivable contingency. The
public should keep in view the fact
that the mother has a lien on all the
assets of an insolvent branch, from
which the circulation gust ultimately
be redeemed /; in other words the
Safety Fund" must be reimbursed
from the assets before depositors,
holders Of exchange or other claims
can come in.
The State Bank of Iowa will be a
successful institution. Its duration
must, however, depend entirely OF the
talent, fidelity, stringency, and ability
of the Board of Control or Mother
Bank,

Agricultural Fair.

The fair this fall for this county will
be held at Fayette, on the 5th and 9th
of October. This is the most favora-
bic opportunity that has been offered
to the citizens Of the South side of
the county to participate in the annual
exhibit of the products of their farms
and it is an opportunity that we are
satisfied will be improved to the best
advantage. The citizens of Fayette
and Westficld have exhibited a lauda-
bic spirit in donating literally for the
purpose Of securing the location at
this point for the present year that
location being secured and ample ar
engagements made for an exhibition
that will be worthy the name. Our
county is now one of the foremost in
the Northwest in agricultural i'm
provcments and in stock, therefore it
is to the interest of all to become &C
tive participants in our annual exhib-
its, that we may show to our neigh
bors what we have that is excellent,
and create an ambition to excel, that
will result in advantages to the COM
munity at large.
We hope the farmer, the mechanic,
the mother and daughter, the ia
Their and son, will take an interest in
this matter, and each strive to excel
the other in this laudable enterprise.

Judge Williams.

Editors 50. Charles City Inteiiigenccr
GENTLEMEN Il learn that the friends
of Mr.. McClintock are circulating, in
the western counties of this District, q
report that Mr.. McClintock is the SUI
perior of Mr.. Williams in intellectual
and mental ability. This report may
have some influence where Mr.. Will
liams is not personally known. l
wish therefore to say, through the col,
umns of your paper, that l have had
the pleasure of personal acquain,
lance with both Mr.. McClintock and
Mr.. Williams for the last four years
with Mr.. Williams that acquaintance
has been intimate ; and while | do
not say anything in disparagement Of
Mr.. McClintock, ! do wish to say that,
in my humble opinion, Mr.. Williams
has not a superior in intellect or ability,
either natural or acquired, in this dis.
trict; that he stands at the head of
the profession as alawyer, and is high
ly qualified to discharge the duties of
Judge. His high tone of character,
his warm and sympathizing heart, his
ardent regard for the rights of men,
his profound knowledge and strong
attachment to the fundamental princi.
pies of our government as embodied
in our Republican institutions, are
qualities seldom combined to the same
extent in Ii individual; and, if placed
upon the bench as Judge of this Judi.
cial District, they will enable him to
discharge the duties of hat office in
an able, independent andlcgal manner
Let us see to it, then, that every
Republican is at his post and doing his
duty, and in that event l doubt not
our efforts will be crowned with sue
cess. Truly yours,
In the cause of right,

For the st. Charles City lntelligencer.
A Correction.

MEssRs. EDITORS Allow me to say
one word by way of v~indication of
Floyd County generally, and our city
especially, from a grave charge laid
at our door by some of the speakers
upon the occasion of the Railroad
Convention held in this place on Thurs
day of last week.
Those gentlemen to whom | allude,
seemed to feel high qualification in
charging upon st. Charles City the
election of j. b. Peat, Esq, to the re-
sponsible position of Director at Large
in the Cedar Valley II. II. Company,
as organized at Waverly July 18th
ult., seeming to take it for granted
that his appointment was an operation
that would not, by any means, re-
dound to the credit of any one who
proposed it or aided therein ; stating
that it was by the influence of st.
Charles that he was so appointed, and
that his name was proposed for that
place, for the first time in convention,
by a delegate from this place. / will
not discuss with the gentlemen their
position, that aiding in or proposing
his appointment was anything but a
credit to any one so doing. have no
wish to do, so but will, for the sake
of harmony grant the position. Be
that as it may, allow me to call the
attention of those gentlemen to the
following portion of the published pro-
cccdings of the Wavcrly convention !:
SECOND DAy-MoRNING SESSION.
On the coming in of the Convention,
the Committee on Incorporation sub
mitted a report of their proceedings,
which, after being read by A. &. Full
Ter of Clinton, Iowa, the name of the
twenty-first Director being not yet
filed. Mr.. Shane moved the name off
b. Peat, as Director which was carried.
By this it will be seer that Benton
county, and not Floyd, is entitled to
the credit or discrcdit of proposing
the name of Mr.. Peat, and that the
gentlemen were out of the record in
attributing the sin to st. Charles, and
that the anathemas poured out by
some of the gentlemen, upon us for
the crime, will, like chickens, seek and
find a " roost nearer home.
Pardon me for occupying SO much
room. | would not have advertcd to
this matter, but that l Felt their state
ments to be in-Cong(e)r-ous with the
facts in the case. /. w. G.

How Is 1T, GENTLEMEN I'd. d. w.
Carver, Junior Editor of the St.
Charles lntelligencer, was a delegate
to the Democratic State and Congress
sional Conventions recently in session
in this City ; and A. b. +. Hildreth,
Senior Editor. of the same paper, is
the nominee of the Republican party
Of the Tenth District for the Board of
Education. We have always under
stood the Intelligenccr to be u Demo
cratic paper, but have seen only a few
numbers. How is it? we again ask.
-h,ca City Republican.
All this trouble m of being
nominated for Office. We suppose our
respective parties, when they gave US
nominations, took us very much as a
man does his wife, /" for better or for
worse )" and, they being satisfied, it
did not c to us that outsiders
would complain. 1t seems however
that certain Of our editorial friends,
even Wien there Is a fol-" ii IT, ihslst
that we shall "dcfine our position"
Therefore, we beg leave to state, that
Mr.. Carver is a born Democrat of the
true blue kind, and expects to die
such /; while, on the contrary, MI.
Hildrcth was born a Republican,
reared a Henry Clay Wing, and is
now a member of the Republican
party and a firm supporter of it's prin-
ciples. Buchananism and the bred
Scott decision are the last things he
could be made to endorse. As to the
lntelligencer, it is not and never was
Democratic paper )" neither does
it claim to be the organ Of the Repub-
licans. 1t holds an independent po-
.sition, and is offered for sale to those
who wish to purchase it. Its editors
are not for sale ; and do not under
stand that. when they were nominated
for Office, their press was nominated,
also. Were it any body's business
but our own, we could go on to tell
how, several years ago, its conductors
became friends, and how they have
such to this day but we
do not know that this is necessary at
the present time. Are our brother

A Pleasant Time.

The citizens of Cedar Falls did them.
selves unreasonable credit by the lib.
crafty and courtesies which they OK.
tended to the members of the press at
the time of the Editorial Convention
held in that place last week. They
had arranged for a free passage for
editors each way over the Dubuque
& Pacific Railroad, and for a passage
at half fare with the Western Stage
Company, and made every thing free
for the Editors during their stay at
the Convention. In addition to this,
a magnificent banquet was served up
at the American House on Wednesday
evening, to which the Editors, the
members of the Blackhawk County
Bar, Judge Wilson and several other
members Of the Dubuque Bar were
invited. A large number of ladies
were present, and the whole party at
the festival consisted of about one
hundred persons. All praise was due
Mr.. Secord, "minc host" of the Amer
lean, for the tasty and superb manner
in which his tables were arranged and
served with every delicacy.
Col. WIN. II. Sessions, Agent of the
roIo, E,1I, .,J N.ououa D-.
Company, presided at the table, sup.
ported on his right by L. b. Bolcns of
the Toledo Tribune, and on his left by
j. g. Davenport, of the Cedar Rapids
Times. The Divine blessing was i'm.
plored by Rev. Mr.. Clifford, of the Epis-
copal Church at Cedar Falls.
After due attention to the wants of
the physical man by a thorough dis
cussion of the viands on the table, an
intellectual feast was announced, and
toasts and speeches were declared to
be in order. Mr.. Davenport acted as
toastmaster, and the feast of reason
and flow Of soul" continued for some
three hours, when the party retired,
all greatly delighted with the eve
nings entertainment. The Cedar Falls
Brass Band was present, and with
their excellent music added materially
to the enjoyment of the occasion.

Cedar Falls & Minnesota Railroad.

Ground was broken upon the line OF
this road at Cedar Falls last week, at
the time Of the Editorial Convention
there. The citizens and strangers
present appeared to take a deep inter.
est in the affair, and turned out to the
number of about n Thousand to wit
ness the ceremonies. A procession
was formed, consisting of the Officers
and Board of Directors, members of
the press, citizens on foot, ladies' and
gentlemen on horseback and in car
riages, and, preceded by a band of
music, they marched to the ground
where the breaking" was to take
place. 800. ..f-
Arrived at the ground, a line of men
was formed on either side, when, after
remarks by Col. Sessions, the General
Agent, and Mr.. Lampman, Chief Engi-
neer of the Road, the shovels we're
seized, and each We'd with the other in
his efforts to aid in the grading. C..
Tarbox Smeed, Of the Waverly Re-
publican, had the honor of depositing
the first shovel full of earth upon the
dump, and was loudly cheered by the
multitude, amid the waving of flags,
roaring of cannon and peals Of music
by the band.
Work having ceased, a speech was
made by VIM. B. Fairfield, Esq, of
Floyd county, and three cheers were
given for the Cedar Falls and Mime
sofa Railroad f.; the Band struck up a
lively air ; the procession formed
anew, and all marched back to town.
Here more speaking was demanded,
and remarks were made by some half
dozen editors present, namely Mr..
Hildrcth, of the st. Charles City In
telligencer /; Mr.. Clement, of the Du-
buque Times ; Mr.. Bolcns, of the To-
ledo Tribune; Mr.. Smeed, of the Waiver
ly Republican !; Mr.. Davenport, of the
Cedar Rapids Times /; Mr.. Drummond,
of the Vinton Eagle, and Mr.. Babcock,
of the Bradford News. Cheer after

the Band played, and, to use a vulgar
phrase, all enjoyed themselves hugely.

The PRESIDENT PIT THROUGH HIS PAGES.
The Bedford Springs correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun says that while
the President was at the former city,
the lady of Col. Spates, of Maryland,
whose dashing and daring exploits in
horse-womanship have gained for her
a wide reputation, took the Chief
Magistrate out riding. Dashing
through town at a spanking pace, the
horses fccked with foam, the lady
glowing with excitement, and the
President known to everybody, very
serious alarm seized the public mind
that some aspiring dame had caught
up the Chief Magistrate of the United
States, and was clipping with him. In
good time, however, Mrs. S. restored
the President to his anxious friends.

Mr.. NJ. A. Searle, of this place, met
with a serious accident, one day last
week, while saving shingles in Mr..
Kelly's mill. In attempting to remove
a single, his hand was caught by the
saw which split the bone of one fin
ger and badly damaged two others.
The misfortune is the more serious for
the reason that Mr.. Searle was en-
gagged in building a house for his fam
lily previous to the cold weather. Will
not some of his brother mechanics do
nate him a little assistance in labor ?
