Application for the special or Ii
cense tax must be made at the same
time, although the same is not due
and payable before the LIST day OF
May.
But 1t was agreed upon, that for the
purpose Of making a thorough work,
to finish up the assessment and cox
lection by the lst day Of May al over
the State, and prosecute NJ ifOrmly
any and all persons who are found on
that day without any license.
Heretofore many persons applied
for a renewal of their license one or
two months after the old one had
expired, and by these means no in
considerable amounts were lost to the
government, as the population in a
new State is much more changing
and shifting than in an old settled

RAILROADFEELING ATTFCUMsEH.

The Tecumseh Chieftain, edited by
a former tOwnsman of this place, G..
w. FAIRBROTHER, Esq, a man fully
embued with that enterprise peculiar
to people of the West, copies our ar
ticle announcing the vote of Brown
vile Precinct on the Railroad ques-
ton, and prefaces it with the follow
ing:
The people of Tecumseh and John
son county are now very much inter
ested in the shape affairs are takingat
BrOwnville. On Saturday last the
precinct of which the city of Brown
vile is a part, voted 500, 900 for the
railroad running from that city west.
The vote was carried by a large major
ity. That looks like business, don't
it? But they have more business vet
on hands. On next Saturday the city
tUU cote $50, 200 for the same road. We
know the city will vote nearly unani-
mously for it. We know the people
there, and know that hey know it is
"nOw or never" and they are deter
mined to not entirely be behind all
their neighbors In railroad improve
ments. Yes, Col. F., BrownVille is
guilty of having more solid business
on the brain right now than ever here
tofOre. People of johnson, il looks
now as if BrOwnVille is to fetch us our
first railroad.

THE CITY VOTE.

The vote of this city, had on Satur-
day last, to authorize the City Council
to issue bonds to aid in the construc-
ton of the Brownville and Fort Kear-
.ney Railroad in the sum of sixty
thousand dollars, aods maGnh7aou8-nOt
avote against it! This is in addition
10 our hundred and eighteen thousand
dollars voted by the county, and one
hundred thousand voted by the pre-
clnct,. making in all for the county,
precinct and city, two hundred and
seventy-eight thousand dollars.
The City Council meet tonight to
o subscribe the stock voted. and the
County Commissioners meet on Sat
urday next for the same purpose.
We hope there will be no delay in
making all needed arrangements and
prosecuting matters vigorously. The
County Commissioners, city authori-
ties and individual stockholders
should have a conference on Saturday
nextand understand each other. Thir-
ty days will have to expire after sub
scribing the stock, before a perfect or
panization can be had. But matters
can be understood, and actually be
progressing in the meantime. The
company should make such arrange
ments as will secure the ready cash
to proceed with the work, and thus
be enabled to have work done at low
est cash prices. Let there be no work
gone into payable in Bonds at fifty
cents on the dollar, and rates Of work
fifty Der cent above cash prices. The
Bonds of this precinct and city will,
in reality, be worth just as muchN2 Q
Government or any other bonds, and
they should not be trifed away. With
proper negotiations and guarantees,
money can be raised on a pledge of
bonds, sufficient to build ten miles of
the road. Then the company will OBJ
tain fifty thousand dollars donated
County bonds, and with ten miles of
road, and that much surplus, it can
move on without difficulty. We have
every reason to believe that this is the
wish and desire of all interested, and
that such are the opinions entertained
by theindividual stockholders and the
county and city authorities. Again
we urge immediate, prompt and ener-
getic action. The active working sea-
son will be upon us before We are
ware

EDITOR ADVERTISER:
Dear Sr:-I find a statement in
your paper Of this date, which, in JUS
tice to the parties concerned, 1 deem it
proper should be corrected.
The statement is, that "the veritable
Davenport Brothers no longer lay
claim to assistance from the spirit
world, but simply appear as trick
sters."
This is not the first time this state
ment has been made in the public
press; but it is nevertheless false in
every particular, for they do now,
and always did claim to be assisted by
the spirits of the departed. In proof
of this statement, I refer you to a
letter upon the subject, written by
them to the editor of an eastern paper.
The letter reads as follows:
BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. o, 1858.
Dear -:-Before leaving Europe,
rumors from time to time reached us
from this country, that many of the
American newspapers, taking the
cue from their equally truth-lOving
brothers Of the English press), were
representing us as having given up all
p~retentiOps to being spiritualists. and
that we simply claimed to be skillful
jugglers.
Now, the statements, las ridiculous
as they are false, we treated with ST.
lent contempt, thinking them I'M
worthy of notice. We did believe
thatOur course as mediums for the past
fourteen years was sufficient answer
to all such reports, which are being
daily reported by the press. It is sim
gular any individual skeptic as spir-
itualist, could believe such statements
after fourteen years Of the most bitter
persecution aud evident opposition,
eliminating in the cities of Liverpool,
Hudersfield and Leeds, when our lives
were placed in imminent peril by the
fury Of brutal mobs our property de-
strOyed, and all because 1Ue DotId not
renOun9cs sDiritHdtism and declare Our-
selves jugglers, when threatened by
the mob and urged to do so.
In conclusion, we have only TO say
that we denounce all such statements
as base falsehOOds.
IRA ERASTUS DAVENPORT.
WIN. III. DAVENPORT.
Now, Mr.. Editor, as you have given
the false report 8 place in your col
umns, 1 deem 1t but just that you
should publish the facts in the case as
stated by themselves.
Yours truly,
