SCHOOL TAx.-Ths question will come up
next Monday. "rax or no Tax for school
house purposes. We anticipate quite warm
time, as it seems to be . prevalent disposition
on the part Of the people TO oppose Taxes. If
the people Of Toledo expect their town to come
up and be attractive among the towns Of Iowa
they must expect 70 build irst-class public
buildings. They cannot expect immigration
unless they do work for new attractions being
added to their town. No public edi6ce il seems
to us will better serve this purpose than fine
school ediice. The Taxes already levied will
not exceed two thousand dollars, this, will
not, in our view, even enlarge the present
cdifce sufficiently to accommodate the neces-
stiles Of the place. If q five mill tax is not
levied then there is not sufficient money to
either enlarge the present school hous. or
build . new one-hencc the money will lie
idle. 1t will take two or three years to raise
enough money to accomplish the purpose and
nor is rs good time to commence rs any
other. Hard times will not be q sufficient ex-
cuse because these are always upon us. Some
say, i the Iowa Central R. r. passes through
our town, then we will vote tax to build a
school house worth forty thousand doilars.-
This again is the plea Of relieving the miser-
les Of the whole world or we will do nothing"
II some R. \. Company will make our town at
tractive, direct the minds Of people coming
west to it as the place to settle, then in tina,
| case we will commence to do something for
ourselves, is the gi,t Of that argument. Such
is cheap way.

wi.hou, being aware Of the design Of these
willy chaps When Democrats are in IN
minority such is always the case, but II in the
majority they scorn Republicans in political
views. Republicans no doubt do the same
where they are in the minority, but when
they are largely in the majority to submit to
being dictated TO by Democrats in political
matters Is the highest folly.

mitted resolution that it appeared
from the late correspondence between
the President and General Grant, that
the President had violated or sought to
violate the provisions OF the tenure OF
office bill, and that consequently he is
guilty of high crimes and misdemean-
ors for which he ought to be impeaChed
by the House. This resolution was
discussed with much spirit. The point
OF debate was whether the President
had violated the bill by the effort to In
duce Gen. Grant to hold the Secretary
OF War at the disposal OF the President
after the Senate, by its resolution, had
restored Mr.. Stanton. Finally the
resolution was tabled, which created
considerable excitement. The Com
mittee adjourned, when Mr.. Stevens
invited Messrs Boutwell, and Farms.
