RAILROAD TAX
The REPUBLICAN notified us twice
that there was great excitement in
Buckingham in relation to Rail
road tax soon to be voted on.
Judge Greene, President of the
b., G. r & M. II. X. Co., gave us
assurance OF accommodations for GER
tain considerations, on the strength
Of which an election was called, after
the call was issued he withdrew his
promises. Farther efforts to obtain
a renewal having faIlel, it was con-
ceeded by the friends of the tax that
it would be needless to vote it, and
efforts in that direction were gener-
ally abandoned.
The peculiar nature of the opposi-
ton was such, that, while the CUES
ton ostcnsibly was, Tax or no Tax,
the real question was. "Shall Buck
ingham village live or de-" Down
with Buckingham was the rallying
cry OF the opposition, taken up and
re-echoed by all their sympathizer
in the region round about.
On Wednesday, previous to the
election, after the return of a com.
mittee which had been sent to Cedar
Rapids, it was determined TO carry
the tax, and we did it. That is the
whole story.
1t was a desperate enterprise. un-
der the existing circumstances, all
the elements Of enm1ty in the town,
and IN the adjoining town. for four
weeks, had done their best. Right
prevailed and Buckingham "still
lives" The storm OF the preceding
night prevented full vote but did
not change the result.

SUNDAY ScHooL CoNyEHTIoS, MAY
2S.-Thc County Sabbath School
Convention met here to-day. 1t
held two sessions, afternoon and
evening; the number in attendance
from the neighboring towns is large,
nearly every town represented ex-
cept Toledo, no one from there hav-
ing reported yet.
S. w. Cole prcsides; Mr.. Wonser,
of Tama City, Secretary.
The officers for the coming year
are S. w. Cole, President, Charles
Mason, Mrs. Maria Clark and John
Kingery, Vice Presidents; j. Is.
Dennis, of lama City, Secretary, aud
a Secretary from each town.
The discussions have been very
animated. "The relation OF the
Church to the Sunday School" was
ably handled, during which a fine
passage of arms-or rather thcologi-
cal opinions, took place between
Holmes, OF Tama. Turnhull, Of Perry
on one side, and Smelly, of Tama
to the entertainment OF the audience
Mr.. Cole says it is the most interest
ING County Convention with one ex
ception he ever attended. Among
the clergy, notice Holmes, Hurd,
Beach, Vandever, Smedley, Spry,
Kngery, See, Turnbull, aud some
Others.
Ii it does not ram tomorrow, the
gathering will be greater than any
religious occasion ever held III the
county.
SECOND DAY.-The attendance to
day has been very large-the day has
been very fine. The best Sabbath
School workers Of The county have
been here in attendance, aud this
Convention is acknowledged by
them TO have been the largest and
most interesting ever held i'll the
county. Yet it lacked some element
Of usetullness--the chief cause can be
attributed to the removal of the Sec
rotary and the late day Of a successor
being chosen. One element of sue
cess lay in this: there was pro
gramme and it was carried out fully
except as to the evening session
which was. omitted. A pleasan,
feature was the representation OF pro
ric'ent classes from long distance
one from Tama City. One painful
feature was the absence of any inter
est in Toledo,s; SIX schools-no inter
est, only one being prosent-Mrs
Clark. The Semi-Annual Session i:
to be held there, TO strengthen til,
feeble knees Of the few workers
there. There was ten ministers il
attendance.
Mr.. Cole resigned the Presidcnc,
ana John kingery, Esq, OF Bucklag
ham, was chosen. The annual meet
ing is to be at Oxford.

Mn. EDiToR--On Saturday morn

ran past like river into the creek,
which rose before the rain ceased. to
heights higher than ever known be-

a wave about two feet high came
down Wolf Greek, with such veloci-
ty and power that it carried off
fences and every movable thing. Ey-

all the creeks, except the four on

as can be learned, are swept away, q
vast erea OF land was covered and
great destruction Of crops, the loose
soil is carried away, the marks ofthe
plow IN places being seen. Several
families living on the bottom lands
OF Wolf Creek were obliged to leave
their houses. Another remarkable
feature OF the storm was the abscense
OF much wind, which usually accom-
panies storms in Iowa. The storm

We were not present at the late
Sunday School Convention at Buck
ingham, but have been informed that
there was considerable talk about
holding the semi annual meeting in
Toledo, and it was finally SO deter
mined. The reason assigned was
that Toledo needs reformation;
that it was tcartully wicked place
Sc. sc. We would think from the
speeches made by certain parties that
Toledo was destitute Of all gospel
privileges. II was said by worthy
representative of our sister town that
the people Of Toledo lacked enter
prise, were not public spirited, &c.
All we have TO offer is that we main
tain some seven churches while the
public spirited torn which tho gentle
man (who made the remarks refer
red toy represents but sustalns two
or three and only year or two ago
had only one church. If hc feels the
need of laboring among heather it
would be a good Geld for HIM at
home.
We certainly have no need of his
services. lie may mako an excellent
private citizen, but as gospel mis-
slonary he would not be success j;

against the town he represents but
his remarks We're i'll timed, uncalled
for and not calculated to do any
good to the cause he processes TO be

There is an evident deesire on the
part OF large number of the people
OF Tama county that the number OF
the Board Of Supervisors should be
increased to five. Very many believe
that the interests Of the people OF
the whole county would be likely to
be better served with five than with
three Supervisors. It is an infrmlty
in the act creating the Board, that it
(apparently at least,) leaves it OPP
tonal with the Board to submit the
question to the electors as to whether
the number of members be increased.
We should be glad to have the views
of our readers on the propriety OF in
CT easing the number of members OF
the Board to five.

Old Settlers Meeting.

~. Editor:-Last year there was
talk among some OF the original set
tiers ct the county about holding an
"Old Settlers" reunion, but was
abandoned.
This year is the Goth anniversary
of the settling of the county. There
might haYe been few on Richland
Creek previous to 1862, but that
year is rather considered the year in
which the county was occupied
The suggestion is made that the
present year, 1872, would be suitable
to have an "Old Settlers" roun,ou.-
| move that such a meeting be held
this season, and that Judge Graham
OF Toledo, be empowered to select
time and place, with power to call
in aid-if desired-in making the
proper arrangements; who seconds
the motion?
