AUGUSTUS CESAR AGAIN GErTErm ENRAGED

BY the following, which we clip from the
closing of the Charlton Patriots account of
the Gu5enratorial discussion at that place, it
will be seen that ''the old war horse became
again aroused and ready for the fray"
Gen. Dodge mounted table when he
spoke, and, on attempting to step from it
when Kirkwood rose to close, it tipped, and,
to steady it, Kirkwood put his hand to it,
playfully remarking, General, told you
you have been standing on rickety platform
all the time in this canvass" upon which the
General became belligerent, clenching both
fists, with nostrils extended, and belched
forth, "Mr. Kirkwood, am ready for you,
politically, personally or physically, Or any
other way" Kirkwood coolly and pleasantly
remarked that the General got fighting mad
at him in Oskaloosa, but would say to the
audience. that, if the General was the last
man to Finch from fight, he (Kirkwood)
was next to the last"
Kirkwood was several times interrupted by
his antagonist, who stood erect ON the table,
with folded arms, looking furious as a Bashan
Bull, to the infinite amusement of the crowd,
who manifested their glee by shouts and
bursts Of laughter.
The General labored hard throughout his
speech, and appeared to be in a bad humor.
Mr. Kirkwood, we are pleased to say, bore
himself calmly and with dignity throughout
the discussion, to the delight and qualification
of the audience. The Republicans of our
county were never more enthusiastic nor
determined

Crops u md Credits.

There continues to be much speculation In
regard to the.probable price of grain during
the season just commenced. The opinion
that prices will rule low Is now generally
expressed by the press. The crops through
out the entire world, with only a few unim-
portant exceptions, are abundant. Europe,
instead of requiring importations from this
country, will be able to export breadstuffs to
other parts Of the world, if it is needed We
can see nothing, either actual or probable, to
raise the price of grain to the high rates Of the
past few years Of short crops and foreign
demand
In view of these facts, it appears to be an
unwisc policy for farmers to store their wheat
in bins, and refuse to seltit, in hopes of better
prices. We learn that some refuse to sell
even to pay debts long since due, on which
interest is constantly accommodating. This
course is not only embarrassing to the creditor,
but suicidal to the farmer That the price of
grain is low is unfortunate for the farmer, but
no fault Of the buyer. Some men have the idea
that grain buyers combine and keep prices
down. This is simply absurd. The demand
regulates the price, and any man or set of men
attempting to control it would meet with no
better success than the old monarch, Canutc,
when he commanded the surges OF the ocean
to cease rolling at his feet.
One thing more we feel constrained to speak
Of before dis,nissing this subject, and this we
commend to both farmers and merchants If
you are already in debt, don't Gf you can
possibly avoid it) contract any further obliga.
tons till you have paid off all you owe The
signs of the times are not the most promising
for speedy return of that financial buoyancy
experienced few years ago. The importa-
tons from foreign countries have been
immense during the past few months, and the
eastern markets are filled with jim cracks and
gewgaw which the importers expect to sell
to western merchants. Our merchants should
not buy anything but the solid, substantial
comforts Of life. The people will feel little
disposed 10 sell their produce at low prices for
the purpose of investing in triflcs. Its only
by return to an economical, honest, straight
forward and ready pay system of living, and
buying and selling, that the country can be
truly prosperous. All excuses will re act, as
in the physical system, to the serious injury
of those who indulge in them.

Republican Club Meeting.

We publish mammoth call for meeting
to organize a Republican Club. A stanch
Republican tells us that the Island will 5e up
in force, as we'll as other portions of the
county. This is right. Keep the ball rolling,
boys! Let us have "Plao- Handle Club"
to help elect the "Plow- Handle Ticket" \
ticket with two honest farmers at its head
ought to beat the one with forty-year old
officeholler, who "ta!ks the courtliest English
and walks the grandest Spanish" and a
criminal defaulter, at its head.
HENRY O'CONNOR will address the
meeting. lie will display some facts and
figures that will make Democratic ears tingle
with shame and modification. We speak
especially to the young men of the party.
Turn out, boys, and let US see what snap there
is in the young Republicans of Muscatine.

State Tax for ls57,-,s,9.

Hon. j. W. Cattell has published state
ment Of the amount of State tax levied in the
several counties for tho years 1857, $50,
from which it appears that the tax has been
reduced each year in nearly all the counties,
except such new counties as have had large
amounts of land entered in them. The excess
of the tax Of 1857 over 1853 is s9s, o44.l6,
and Of 1853 over 1859, l,4esss. The
Desmoines Citizen, in which paper we find
tAis statement, remarks:
The first resolution on State policy, in the
series adopted by the Democratic State Con-
vention, charges that "the burthcrs of TAXA
ton have increased, ana are increasing amer
the present State Administrator The
Auditor Of State, in his official capacity fur
nishes the facts and figures to ESTABLISH the
falsty of this charge. Against an ag 5regats
of $436,239 collected in 1857, for State
purposes, we have exhibited the remarkable
spectacle of but 1926, 1862 collected or to be
collected in 1859, Tor the same purpose, not
withstanding the large increase in population
The increase Of expenditures usually keeps
pace with the increase Of population. If it
goes beyond this, except in the event Of some
important and expensive enterprise beng
undertaken by the State, (such, for instance
as the Lunatic Asylum, Blind Asylum, &C.
the people have reason to suspect that SOM.
thing is wrong-that the puol,c funds are
used for personal or party agsrandlzement
But here we see that, notwithstanding the
extraordinary appropriation OF one hundred
thousand dollars per annum during the past
two years, for the Lunatic Asylum, and large
appropriations for the Pententary, Blind
Asylum and University, the amount of tax
collected for State purposes has been reduced
one third since 1856. The tax payer, haras>ed
by the financial pressure, the scarcity of labor,
business and money, the failur of the crops
last year, &C., can appreciate this evidence of
economy in the Administration ofStatc affairs,
when he comes to the County Treasury, to
meet its demands against him. He will be
apt, at the same time, to ask how it happens,
in so many cases, that the increase Of tax
under Democratic County Administration
is as rapid as the din,inu ion under Repub-
lican State Administration The figures
require no commentary. They speak for
themselves; and they will have their appro-
pirate influence upon the result of the coming

The County Convention.

The Republicans of this county are again
reminded of the unusual interest attending
the coming Convention. From every part of
the county reports come in CT large numbers,
especially Of the farmers, preparing to come
in to the Convention. A deep and wide
pcrvadng interest in the nomination of good
men, and in other preparations for the election,
exists throughout the county. This increase
of interest is due in great measure, we
believe to the wise and prudent change in the
manner Of holding our Convention. The
Committee are to be commended for their
compliance, in this respect, with the wishes
OF the people, as indicated by the resolution
OF the June County Convention. Men are
coming to the Convention, as it is now called.
who never have attended party Convention
before, and the result will be frcer and more
complete expression Of the will of the people
than in any former Convention ever held in
this county. We will not be surprised to sec
from four to five hundred persons present in
the Convention as Representatives. We call
especial attention to the address of the Central
Committee, in Cur last weeks issue.
We understand from good authority that it
is probable that Nicholas }. Rusch, our pop
ular candidate for Lieutenant Governor. will
DO present on the 27th, and address the
