Another Enthusiastic Meeting.
REJOICING FOR THE PAST
AND PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.
Large Attendance Time.

On Saturday evening last, pursuant to
adjournment, large number of our cit
izens gathered at the Court House to
hear the railroad prospects further ex-
planned, and the necessities of the work
set forth.
Upon motion Thos. Knott, ST., was
elected Chairman of the meeting, and
O. W. Porter, Esq, Secretary.
The chairman asked that some one
explain the object of this meeting, and
Mr. 5. V. Landt being called for, that
gentleman came forward, stating as he
did so that lie supposed intelligent men
knew what they came there for-at
least, he did and then proceeded in a
practical manner to enumerate the diff
culiics which had already been over
come, and those which yet remained to
cope with. He alluded to the earnest
effort 10y which alone the tax in Inland
had been carried, aud urged upon all
that the effort should in 10 wise be aba.
ted, but only increased until Anal and
complete success. Speaking of the SIS,
900 yet to be raised, he said that com mon
fairness demanded that so much as pos
sible be secured from localities interes-
ted i'm the road outside of those already
under n tax, and recommended thor
ough and judicious canvass for condi-
tiona! notes to that end Whatever was
left after this resource had been ex haus-
| ted. the speaker felt sure could he raised
in Upton within twenty -four hours.
J. w. Bull was the next speaker, and
talked for half hour in his best humor,
making numerous hits that were re-
spondcd to by his audience with hearty
applause. He agreed with Mr. Land,
as to the manner Of prosecuting the
work, and added to his plea that there
be no diminution Of effort or enthusiasm
He spoke at some length upon what
fairness demanded from those interested
in the road, should it be necessary tc
call for voluntary subscriptions In Tip
ton, and mufiied in dry humor some
pretty sharp hits at persons whom every
one knows are large property holders ir
proportion to taxes paid or interes
shown in railroad matters.

An Old-Time Abolitionist.

The venerable Thomas Garrett, lately
died in Wilmington, Delaware. at a ripe
old age. Here is what Wendell Phillips
says of hir1 in the National Standard:
II should not dare to trust my memo

brave old Friend has helped to safety
and freedom-nearly three thousand, !
believe. What rich life to look back
on! How skilIful and adroit he was in
abiding the hunters! How patient in
waiting days and weeks, keeping the
poor fugitives hidden mean while, till it
was safe to travel on the highway !
What whole heated devotion, what
unselfisl giving of time, means, and
everything else to this work of brother
ly love! What house in Delaware so
honorable in history as that where
hunted men fled and were sure to find
refuge! twas the North Star to many

scenes to show and boast Of among its
fellows. But few transcend that auction
block where the sheriff was selling all
CARROTS goods for the crime q OF

fugitive slaves. AS the sale closed, the

Thomas, I hope you'll never be
caught at this again."

RAIL ROAD NETTING A large num-
Der of our people gathered, last Wednes-
day evening, at Metropolitan Hall, to
hear the report of the officers Of the
Southwestern Company residing here,
of the results of Il meeting al Davenport
Of the representatives of all the counties
on the liue from Clinton to Oskaloo,a,
except Kcokuk county, with Mr.. Hinck-
ley, representing the company which
proposes to build the road. Gov. Kirk
wood was not able to be at the meeting
at Davenport or at this meeting at the
Hall, and Mr.. Ransom acted for him,
and made report. A definite PROPOSE
ton was made i'm writing by Mr. Hinck-
ley, to this effect: Ifthc people on the
route from Clinton to Dekaloosa, will
raise haifa million Of dollars, the Com
pany will at once go tnwork and build n
first class road over this route as quick
~ as money will do it. They will take
the voted taxes, reliable notes, or any
obligations that are good, as cash. No
money is to be paid them at any point
until the cars are running to that point.
OF this half million three hundred and
twcnty five thousand We're ascertaincd
to have been already raised, leaving one
hundred and seventy-nve thousand yet
to be raised. OF this amount johnson
county was apportioned sixty thousand
dollars, and this must be raised within
TIE shortest time possible. Iowa City
has already raised and secured pledges
for all equal amount, which is all that
ought to be asked of her. The farmers
will receive the entire decrease in
freights that come from the road. The
city will be benefited by becoming a
better market in which to buy and sell
which will induce a larger number to
come here for that purpose. The bene
fit to the farmers is direct and palpable ;
the benefit to the town is indirect, in
cidcntal. But the city asks no relief
from its fu! share of the cost of the
road. 1t is willing to do all and more
than helongs to it in evcnbanded justice.
The wealth of the county il three fold
| that Of the town. but the town has al
ready, by vote and pledges, raised one
half the entire sum required. Now will
not the country look enough TO its own
direct interest to raise the other half.
Farmers cannot be so regardless Of their
own prosperity as to refuse. Let us
help each other in this important work.
| Let us all unite to secure this most val
liable road that was ever offered us.
There is 10 swindle here No road, no
pay. That's the talk. Speed on the
Southwestern.-Io,ca city Republican.

THE SEQUEL to the unauthorized tax :
ing Of Wheelers oysters, alluded to else
where, transpired Tuesday afternoon.
Three youths. Joe Walters, James Teter
and Wilson Knott, were arrested tor the
theft, and 4 number Of lads subpnnacd
as witnesses. 1t appeared that the
three boys arrested, together with four
others, on the evening in question,
brought four cans of oysters to Wick
ersham's saloon, and gave three Of the
cans to have the fourth one cooked for
them. The plaintiffs claimed that they
had found the oysters in wood pile
where they saw two fellows secretiny
them. AS no evidence could be adduced
to establish the stealing, they were dis
charged. The trial was before Justice
Porter, s. V. Landt, Esq, for the State,
and II. II. Kirk for the defence.

Cheering Facts for the Bilious.

Every day demonstrates more clearly
that liver complaint, in all its distress
ing forms, can be controlled and cured
without difficulty Or Inconvenience. 1t
is an obstinate disease, but its obstina-
cy is not proof against the pertinacious
rem, dial and restorative operation of
Hostetters Stomach Bitters. That ge~
nial corrective cOmpcts The organ to do
its d,tty. 1t must secrete regularly and
BEAUTIFULLY under the influence Of the
Bitters. Their action brings it back
from Il state Of rebellion into perfect ha:-
mony with the laws Of health. Ii there
is costiveness, it disappears; if there ia
side ache or back ache, it ceases; if the
skin and the whites of the eyes are
tinged with su;eriluous bile, they .recov
err their natural hue; if the appetite is
gone, it returns, if the indigestion Is
impaired, it is restored: in brief, what
ever the symptoms of the complaint may
land whatever the phase has assumed,
O cure is certain. Such are the uniform
effecrs Of this preparation where bilious
disease has been already developed; but
i'm cases where there Is merely a consti-
tutional tendency to liver complaint, it
may be prevented throughout life by
the regular use, in small quantities, of
this palatable antidoie. These are
proven facts, and should be seriously
pondered-or, rather, they should be
promptly acted upon-by all persons Of
bilious habit.

that could unbiu5lIing argue against vo-

was undesirable, or on ace ,unt of oppu

admitting the benefits to he derived,
could still urge no tax because I'VE will
probably get the road any how ~ or
because "it will not run across our
farms and there viii! probably be 40 de.
pot within shovc!liug distance of our
corn cribs" Such tiscre ,iitable motives
were of course, not general, but were
the animtS Of some OF the most active
oppositiou to the tax opposition which
