To the Resident Tax Payers of
Tan1a County:


Whereas, AT the ii ne I entered upon
! the discharge Of tie duties of the Office
of Treasurer of Tama County there was
considerable personal properly tax I'm.
collected on the tax fists for the Sc, eral
years, against residents OF the County,
Che same not having been previously
ordered collected by the Board Of Sn.
pervisors): and, Whereas, at the Janu-
ary Session of said Board Of Supervis
ors, a D. 1866, Mr.. Dysart offered q
Resolution that tho Treasurer cause tho
amount Of uncollected taxes on the tax
books for the several years, to be drawn
eff and put into the hands Of collector
to be collected at the rate allowed by
law, (Which carried), and, whereas. a
misunderstanding exists in the minds
of many in the county With reference to-
!. the collection Of delinquent taxes.
I, therefore, take this occasion to lay
before any who may not fully under
stand the law with reference to the mat
ter, or the course which has been taken
in the collection of the said delinquent
taxes since I came into office, Section
II Chapter l13 Of the acts Of the 9th
General Assembly Of the State Of Iowa
passed at the regular session in the
year A. d. 1852, which reads as fol.
lows, 10 wit
/, "Immediatey after the taxes become
s'delinquent each County Treasurer
shall proceed to collect tile same by,
distress and sale Of the PERSONA
property Of the delinquent tax payer
in the manner prescribed in Sections.
756 and 75s of said Chapter 45,, and
for this purpose he shall within days
. after the taxes become delinquent !
appoint one or more deputies to aid
and assist him in collecting the delin--
quent taxes in his respective county
Each Deputy SO appointed shall re-
ceive as a compensation for bis SER
wees and expenses, the sum Of FIVE
per cent. on the amount Of all delin-'
quent taxes collected by him, which
percentage be shall collect from the
QSltilC lSu. loNCtHS1 viii "ipio
i amount of delinquent taxes and in.
i terest, and in the discharge Of bis
duties as such assistant collector,
should it become necessary to make,
the delinquent taxes by distress and
sale, he shall be entitled to receive
fhc same compensation in addi.
ton to the FIVE per cent. provided for,
! in this act, as consta bles are entitled
j to receive for the sale Of property on
!, execution, and any County Treasurer
who shall wllfully refuse or neglect to
comply with any of the provisions Of
j this Section shall forfeit the sum Of
Ave hundred dollars, to be recovered
in the name Of the county for the use
i Of the common schools therein
!; Which section I desire 10 faithfully
and impar,ially cary out, as also, the
direction OF the Board Of Supervisors
before referred to, and thus discharge
my duty to every Tax payer in the
County.

8 County Treasurer.

WE are happy TO observe that the New York
Tribune, one Of the leading journals of
America, has celebrated the reaching of Its
twenty-flfth birthday by enlarging the size of
its sheet, and greatly widening its columns
It appears now in the shape of the larger
European journals. Yesterday evening the
present and former employees OF the Tribune
met around DELMoNIoo's festive board, and
the following is brief sketch OF the AFFAIR."
Mr. Greeley occupied the chair, and among the
hosts and guests were Samuel SIDclair, Sidney
H. Gay, George Ripley. Solon Robinson, George
W. Smalley, stephen I, Clarke, Prot, A. j.
Schem, Frederick Crane John II. Young (at one
time principal editor OF the Philadelphia Press),
Clarence Cook, ClaIkson Taber, Nathan ID. Urner,
William Winter, Thomas N. Rocker, and Patrick
O'Rourke, OF the present active force; and OF
those formerly on the paper were Thomas NIGEL
Iath, Oliver johnson, George w. Snow, Bayafd
Taylor, Franklin 0tterson, Augustus Maverick.
John f. Cleveland, Robert M. StIebeigh, Isaac
". England, William Il. Robinson, George W.
Curtis, Professor Il, Yolmans, Robert Carter,
Charles e. Wilbour, Edward H. House. William
Stuart, Edmund @. Stedman and several others.
After the viand5 we're disposed of, Bayard
Taylor read number of letters, among Others
from Henry J. RAYMOND Charles A. Dana,
Charles T.. Cogdon, Samuel Wilkeson, aud
Theodore sTilton. Mr.. Cogdon made most
touching illusions to the dead OF the Tribune -
the late Margaret Fuller d'Ossoh, William
Henry Fry and Richard Hildreth.
MIR. Greeley being called for, gave a very in
teTestmo account OF his early efforts in New
York, up to the full establishment of the
Tribune. In the course OF his remarks Mr..
Greeley said that the first man employed in the
editorial department, after the Tribune started,
was Mr.. Henry j. Raymond, then Just graduated
from college. He was a jealous worker-in-
deed, said Mr.. Greeley he was the only man |
remember to whom | felt impelled to say =
''You are working too hard"
The occasion was one of great interest, and
must have gratifed the heart of Mr.. GREE
LEY, the veteran editor to whose incessant
industry and acuteness the success Of the
Tribune is mainly due, Appropriate speeches
were made by THOMAS McELRATH, GEORGE
WILLIAM CURTIS, Professor RIPLEY, and
others, most of whom had been at one time
connected with the Tribune.

returns the petition with indignation and
scorn Probably they think that the disci-
pine of the school win be perfected by in
sulting the boys and reprimanding them.
Their idea is to use the cane, to crush the
spirit of the American youths, and not to gov
ern the temper by gentle yet positive restraint
So far as the impropriety Of the action is
concerned, we are only too glad that we have
the views of the pupils on the question. We
leave it to any candid reader whether it is not
more likely that those who for years have
been directly under Mr.. MAGUGRE's control,
and have become thoroughly conversant with
his system, are not better judges than a set OF
men who never were inside the school but
half-a-dozen times in their lives, aid many
them not that often2 We prefer to take the
views Of the boys and not of the Board. But
it matters not whether Mr.. MAGUIRE is
fitted for his position or not so far as the
behavior of the Controllers is concerned.
They acted like petulant schoolboys, aud ex-
hibited littleness Of thought which makes
the respectful petition OF the pupils appear
most proper by the contrast with these
children of larger growth.

For SPEAKER OF THE SENATE, Hon. L.
W. HALL.-The caucus OF State Senators of
the Union party nominated yesterday for
Speaker Of the Senate for 1857 the Hon. L.
w. HALL, member from Blair comfy. Mr..
HALL is about thirty-eight years of age, has
a thorough knowledge of Parliamentary law,
is radical Republican, and has selr-posses-
sion perfectly immovable. BE was, if we are
not mistaken, Speaker on previous occasion.
He is eminently fitted by long experience for
the post. The Importance of the position can
not be over-estimated. In case of the death
of the Governor, Mr.. HALL would succeed
to that chair, and occupy it until the end OF
the year. He has been ior many years an active
working as well as speaking member of the
Senate; is highly conversant with all the
intricacies OF committees, and is identified
with all the interests OF our Commonwealth.
OF course, his nomination is equivalent to an
election, and we can only congratulate our
readers upon having a thorough Uuionist,
an accomplished Parliamentarian, and able
Pennsylvania in the second office of our
State.
