Excursion BY RAILROAD TO WASH
rNGToS.-Yesterday morning, as announced
the cars left our depot at o'clock, and pro-
ceeded to Muscatine, where further rein
forcements were made; thence to Clifton,
|. where two more cars were taken on, making
in all thirteen cars, ana about 900 persons,
from Davenport, Iowa City, Mucatine, and
other places on the line.
When the cars arrived at Washington, the
guests were received by an able speech from
Hon. Samuel Russell, which was responded
to by Hon. o. A. Patterson, of Muscatine,
The excursionists, in company with the
people there assembled, then formed into a
procession and proceeded to the Court
House square, where beautiful repast OF
all manner of good things was provided on
tables whose aggregate length was not much
short of mile.
This dinner was prepared for 5000 per-
sons, though there was not probably over
1000 present. 1t was composed of three
roast beeves, two thousand chickens, with
roast pig, lamb, bread and cakes in full pro-
portion. Dinner over and all we'll satisfied
with its effects, the Davenport City Artil-
lery, the Muscatine Light Guards, and the
Columbus City Union Greys, went into drill!
and review, and the more literary portion
commenced reading toasts and making re-
f,nr nlor 20
given, which were responded to by Hiram
Price, Mr.. Grinnell, Deacon Bross, Hon.
James Thorington, J. Scott Richmond, AL
fred Sanders, LeGrand Boyington and 9TH
ere. These toasts and speeches we are un-
able to give in full to day, but shall do so
| to morrow morning
We take pleasure in saying that the NJ
d NJ. Railroad Company, and the good citi'
zens Of Washington acquitted themselves
with great honor. Ample music was pro
vided by the Davenport and Muscatine
brass bands.
At4 o'clock the procession was again
formed; marched back to the cars and the
train moved off for its destination. arriving
in Davenport about 10 o'clock, safe and
| sound, and without accident. ,
The people of Washington county were
out very generally and received and dis
missed the excurtionists with many hearty
cheers, and other expressions of their gra-
, titude for the attendance of 80 many peo-
pie from sister towns, upon their highly
important celebration.
The festivities Of the day were concluded
by royal coed supper at the Burtis House
gotten up on short notice, and disposed Of
in the same manner.
Washington is fine little town, of some
1000 inhabitants, and is bound to be twice
as large in two years.
The lateness of the hour excuses rs from
giving full report of the proceedings un-
til our next issue.

THE BoYD WILKINSON CAsE.-The
The Iowa City Republican Of yesterday,
has the following:
We hasten to lay before our readers the
result Of the trial Of the parties indicted
for the murder Of Boyd Wilkinson in this
county on the l ! tn day'of March last Only
eight of the fifteen indicted were on trlal-
Phillip Clark, Michael freeman, 0uaicl
Marshall. Geo. w. Rawson, Charles Dow,
Dennis Hogan, John McGure and Charles
Brown.
At l-2 o'clock this A. NJ, the jury came
into court, after being out n hours After
the clerk called the roll of the jurymen and
the prisoners the court asked the Jury If
they had agreed upon a verdict, and being
answered III the Affirmative, he then inquired
as to their finding in the case of each of the
prisoners, ana the answer Not guilty" was
returned to every question. We have no
disposition to comment upon this result, but
will simply say that it is an astonishor' to
many of our citizens
These prisoners were deemed the least
guilty Of those indicted, and had secured a
separate trial on this ground When the
others indicted for the same offence will be
tried, We are unable to say

ARRESTED. says that person of
respectable appearance was arrested day
or two since, on charge ofpaying his note
at maturity-such proceeding being en-
tirely contrary to the "Ler loci" A plea Of
insanity was made, but the Justice was un-
able to determine the case, there being no
precedent fer decision, saying that it was
against his principles to interfere with any
body's interest, and Of no interest to him to
meddle with anybody's principal-zsmes.
The case was then taken to District Court
upong csrtiorari, and the defendant made it
appear that he paid in Florence" where
upon he was allowed to DEPART

Amour TowN--Business was deci'
dedly lively yesterday, and our merchants
appeared to have quite good trade. One
| shoe establishment, We are informed, aver
aged one hundred dollars per day, retail
sales, last week. They patronize the print
ing interests literally.
Mr.. LeCiare has finished painting the
Crow" and the Post Office Block, both o.
which look very fine in their new Dress
The only thing now needed is o brick side
walk in front of these two fine buildings.
Mr.. Fejervary's new block will soon be
Ieady for occupancy These stores are
among the most desirable in the city Much
cre,lit is due Mr., F. for pushing forward 60
fine Block in such hard times.
The hotels are now doing better bust
iness than at any time this summer. A sure
Indication that times are getting better.
Navigation is opening quite rapidly,
and We hope ere the first of next mouth to
chronicle the entire removal of that gteat
impediment to our prosperity-an inconver
tible currency.
The amount already subscribed to the
capital stock of the State Bank No. has
reached $4,000. Itappears to come up
rather slow, but quite sure. The number of
subscribers is about fifty.
In walk on the bluff we noticed quite a
number of substantial dwelling houses in
course of erection. We are glad TO peceive
this, as it shows that the vitality Of Daven-
port is not all gone, by long shot.
Many heavy stocks of goods are arriving.
our merchants are determined to have the
goods on hand whether they sell them or
not. Advertise, gentlemen, and we will
guarantee that you will get rid of them in
short order.
Mechanics seem to have plenty to do, but
how lorg it will continue SO, we would not
like to say.
We advise those persons who have bull.
ding in view to do so now, for the material
is to be had at prices that will never be
known in Davenport again. The stock of
mher is irnmense, and is being sold at onc.
third less than the same qnality could be
obtained last year.

"WHERE THE LIE BELoNGs."-Thc
Gazette of yesterday is convinced that we
"have no knowledge of gentlemanly inter
course" and sets us happy example of the
manner in which we should conduct our
selves towards our brothers Of the quill, by
calling us great liar dirty dog,
newspaper scribbler," de-, DC
| 1t also, to relieve itself of the odium OF
the falsehoods which it has uttered against
Judge Bennett, and as an easy way to dis
pose Of the exposures of its mendacity,
which we have published, say that it does
not consider itself under any sort of NOR
al obligations to answer our charges. We
are further charged with having uttered
some indefinite number of lies, probably
about million, in the space Of twenty-nine
lines. The principle one, however, among
these multitudinous fibs, according to the
Gazette. consisted in the statement made by
us, that the editors Of that paper, after they
had fully admitted the untruth of the false
assertions made in their daily in regard to
Judge Bennett, reiterated them in their
weekly.
1t makes no difference whether the pub
lication in their weekly was made one day
or four days after they learned its falsehood
the criminality is the same. By its own
admission, the article charging Judge Ben
nett with the indic.able offense of acting as
a Judicial officer without authority. was
published in its weekly one day after its
editors had been informed Of what they all
along knew to be the case, that there was
no foundation whatever for the charge
The article, as they themselves state. ap-
pearsd in their daily On Wednesday and
with one alteration lin regard to their state
ment that Judge Bennett did no business
before he was on the bench) was copied In
to their weekly which they issue on Thurs

The Bnrlesqse City Co1ncil.
THE CITY "DADSs MINUS
NO QUORUM.

That goodly body corporate, the City
Council Of the City Of Davenport, which
should have convened yesterday afternoon,
did not appear according to bills aud conse-
quently we are this morning unable TO en-
terrain our readers with Jour usual delecta--
bic report of the frantic endeavors of that
honorable body to get its fngsrs into the
public purse.
The Mayor and some two or three Alder
men presented themselves at the Chamber,
and signifed their willingness to carry on
the farce, but as no quorum was present,
they lost the opportunity of gaining further
uneuviable noto,iety.
The reason Of the non attendance of so
many of the city dads" is variously con.
jectured; but the prevailing opinion seems
to be that. in consequence Of that injunc'
tion," they had given up all hopes of being
able to add any further amount -of feathers
to their respective nests from the City Trea
sury and therefore concluded to 90 on q
spree to Washington, the expenses of which
are betrayed by their neighbors
