Farmers Festival and Picnic Din.
The following are the arrangements made, so far
known, for the dinner to be given at the forth
coming Fair:
Square, and will move for the Fair Ground at II
O'Clock, punctually.
At the Fair Ground the entire charge of the tables
is submitted to John Schock, Esq, who will see
that cloths, croekery-wa ice-water, decorations
ETC., are provided.
The Committee Of Arrangements will select
number of ladies to assist Mr.. Schock in preparing
the tables. AS there will be large gathering of
people, the tables-S00 feet in length-will have to
be reset for the visitors several times We suggest
therefore, that all who contribute do so literally
of plain, substantial fare.
Next week we will furnish the programme in de-
tail, with the names Of Assistant Marshals and of
those ladies who will assist in arranging the tables
Meanwhile let every farmer and mechanic get
ready his team and design some attractive decora-
tion-let the wives and daughters get ready the
eatables. Take the first opportunity when in town
to sign the Constitution, and get your tickets.
Make your entries as soon possible so that when
the day of the Fair comes you will have nothing to
do but to start early join the procession go to the
Fair, cat, drink, and be merry generally.
Every person signing the Constitution and pay
ing one dollar at the secretary's Office will receive
five tickets of admission, and if intending to join
the procession, procession ticket will be given
which will admit their wagon and family the first
day by going in the procession.

THE ScHooL TAX QuEsroN.-It seems
that we, in common with many of our citizens,
were laboring under a misapprehension in regard
to the amount of the tax proposed to be levied for
school purposes in the district comprising this city
From the official notice Of the election, under
stood the rate was one per cent. The Directors,
however, had resolved to levy a tax Of only ONE
mill on the dollar. A number of those who opposed
the proposition did under the impression that
one per cent was the rate of taxation contemplated
We learn that, according to law, the question
cannot be brought up again till next March. The
law specifies the first Monday in September and the
second Monday in March as the days on which the
question of taxation shall be submitted to the peo
PIE. So our citizens will have to do the best they
can without the public schools till next Spring.

GENTLEMEN In compliance with resolution of
your BOARDED Directors your attention is earnestly
called to the importance o. taking active measures
Tor resa'n!ng TIE WORK on your ROAD. me original
1858, amounted to sum which was deemed at the
time nearly sufficient to grade the road but that,
like all subscriptions Of the kind, embraced con-
siderable amount Of real estate labor, and various
kinds of property at present unavailable hence for
the purpose of urging the work more vigorously, it
is considered absolutely necessary that sufficient
additional subscription be obtained, which, with the
amount remaining unexpended of the original sub
scription will put the completion of the work be-
yond doubt @9~ rs
Harvest is now over, and an abundant crop has
rewarded the toll of the husbandman. The surplus
seeks a market, and daily many teams are seen
vending their way to Muscatine to get price
scarcely greater than could be obtained in Upton,
if the railroad were completed. This is not only
vexatious and burdensome, but contrary to the
spirit of true progress. ~
The busy farming season 10 now drawing to a
close. and laborers are again seeking employment
Another effort the part Of the friends of this
terprse and the grading and mason work of the
entire line will be completed. Already our Musca-
tine friends are driving with the Fall work Of
their division. BY determined effort on the part
of Cedar county both divisions will be fully COM
pleted, ready for the iron rail within ninety days;
and we viii! have the satisfaction of seeing our
county, by that means in the enjoyment of all the
benefits Of active businessgood prices for produce

The DuncOmbe Case.

The Gwin organ of this city seems really
to be of the opinion that it has cornered Mr..
DeLong on the naturalization question, by
finding passages in his speech on the Dun
combe case in conflict with his present posi-.
ton. The hallucination under which the
Express labors is owing to the fact that it
docs not comprehend what Mr.. DeLong did
say. 1t takes detached parts of his speech
on that occasion, and forgetting all about
the subsequent qualifications and expositions
declares, with much sincerity, we have nc
doubt: Behold, this is what he said, and
these were his sentiments" !"
! Mr.. DeLong argued, in the Duncombe
case, that, while the political department Of
our Government had always eontended
against the doctrine of perpetual allegiance
and in favor of eXpatriation, yet it had new
er enacted any law which would prevent a
native born citizen of the United States from
returning to his own country, after an alb
sence in another land, and resuming all his
former rights and privileges. In other words
it had not required the naturalization" ol
a native born citizen. There was nothing in
the Constitution or laws of the Union to hin
der the full and perfect citizenship of man
born on American soil, who had visited for
eign country and there taken an oath of allie
glance to another Government. He argued
also that Mr.. Duncombe's taking an oath o
allegiance to the English Government die
not affect his citizenship in the United States
because England does not require an adopted
subject to renounce his previous allegiance
in order to swear allegiance to her. In tn
United States, where the doctrine of per
petual allegiance is not recognized as il
Great Britain, an adopted citizen is require,
to renounce all previous allegiance to what
soever prince, potentate or power he ma
have been subject to. There being nothing
therefore, in the general law of the worlC
or in the particular statutes of the Unite
States, to hinder Mr. Duncombe from resum
ing all his rights and privileges as an Ameri
can citizen the moment he returned to Amer
can soil, Mr. DeLong contended that it Wi
not the province of the California Legisl
ture to refuse him his seat in that body, {
the ground that he was foreigner and ha
not been natural.zed
Such was the scope of his argument, an
the only difficulty with the Express is that
does not understand what the speaker WI
driving at.

A PusilIanimons Rnck-dnwn.


The Gwin party of this section, through
their organ, the Express, have miserably back.
ed dOTn from the challenge of the Douglas
Democracy, in regard to Mr. Latham's being
replied to by Mr.. DeLong, this evening. 1t
seems that they are afraid that their cham
pion might come out second-best in the con-
test with the Little Giant of Yuba We do
not blame them for their prudence But in
refusing the challenge, we think it was not
necessary that they should forget the language
of courtesy and the decency of journalism.
II seems to us that they might have covered
up their too transparent fear of an exposure
of the weakness of their cause and its cham
pion, by something beside a series of vulgar
filings at Mr.. DeLong. Mr.. DeLong is, Ger
tainly, gentleman, of at least equal respec-
liability with Mr.. Latham, and MIR. Latham Is
no such vast Websterian character as to JUST
fy his friends in assuming any airs of superb
ority for him over men of the most ordinary
stamp. let alone over men of intellect like
Mr.. DeLong What are the people to think
of the insinuation of the Express that Mr..
DeLong wished to speak from the same stand
with Mr.. Latham, because "the operation
,coulda't cost him any hingS" A tremendous
outlay few candles would be,-would they
not? Probably, this idea would not have en-.
tered into one mans head out of a thousand,
it being conception of so infnitessimal
character that it would be wholly unappre-
ciable to the generality of mankind. 1t is
one of those ideas which must be looked after
with a magnifying glass.
What is to be thought, again, of this re-
markably courteous declaration :: "We do
not know what course Mr.. Latham will see
proper to pursue in the matter, but he is not
in the habit of fcondescending to little hings'
If the Express means fling at Nj. DeLong
for his small size physically, it is a very poor
attempt at wit. If it means to say that it
would be a small, a degrading business in
moral sense to Mr.. Latham to meet in debate
a man like Mr. DeLong, why then it is a vul-
gar insult, which needs no answer from the
person for whom it was intended. If it means,
again, that Mr.. DeLong is too small man,
intellectually, for Mr.. Latham to condescend
to cope WITH why, that is a matter to be
tested by the trial, and it would seem that
Mr.. Latham's friends are afraid to risk the
trial. Now, there may be a difference of
opinion as to Mr. Latham's tremendous abi-
ty and overshadowing intellectual calibre--
For our part. We believe he is no match, in
an intellectual contest, for Mr.. DeLong,
in any sense whatever. If his friends have
so much confidence in his mental proves, let
them risk him tonight in the hands of Char.
ley DeLong. That is all, let them risk him
