The Daily Gazette City of Davenport Friday Morning August 1, 1862 (Part 2) Continued... Meeting of the Board of Education Davenport, July 30, 1862 Board met pursuant to call, Wednesday, July 30, 1862, at 2 o'clock p.m. President in the chair. Present: Messrs. Collins, French, Cook, Blood, Olshausen, and Smith. Minutes of last meeting read and approved. The Superintendent presented a report, in which he recommends Misses Fannie C. Alvord and Emma Moore for the vacancies in the list of teachers. The Superintendent also recommends Florence Bennett, Maggie Rowse, Emma Mack, Belle Bennett, Mary Middleton, Sarah Yantis, Andrew Jackson, and Frederick Cheney for admission into the high school, they having answered correctly the average per cent of questions proposed on examination. On motion of Mr. French, the eight named applicants for the high school were admitted. * S. P. Otteson, Janitor of School No. 2, petitioned that his salary of $15 per month be increased to $200 per annum, which petition was, on motion of Mr. Cook, laid upon the table. Mr. Smith offered the following, which was adopted: Whereas, Sundry repairs are necessarily to be made about the premises of School District of the city of Davenport, especially at Nos. 3 and 6. Therefore be it Resolved, That the committee on repairs be authorized to take a minute review of said premises, and cause such repairs to be made, as they may deem expedient. The following bills were allowed and ordered to be paid: Beiderbeck & Miller for brooms and nails------$2.95. Wm. Vanduzer for carpenter work at No 5-----$6.00 H. Langmark for repairing clock at No. 5-----------.75 G. Godwin for painting black board at No. 4---$1.20 H. Paulson for repairing clocks at No. 36, 6----$3.00 H. Mehrens for erecting fence at No. 3----------$3.75 W. L. Cook in lieu of orders No. 75---------------$5.00 Treason in Southern Iowa.-A gentleman, formerly a resident of this city, who has made a business tour through southern Iowa and northern Missouri, tells us that affairs down that way have a gloomy look. Jayhawkers abound, and robbery and plunder furnish employment to a number of gangs of men. In southern Iowa there is a great amount of latent secessionism, encouraged by a few perfidious pressed in that section. At a war meeting held at Rome, Jefferson county, on Saturday last, for the purpose of obtaining recruits, the speaker was frequently interrupted by a mob, who finally gave him notice to leave the town in two hours, or they would hang him. He did so, going back to Fort Madison, reported matters to the recruiting officer at that point, who sent a force of twenty men to Rome, and tow prominent citizens of the town were arrested and brought to Fort Madison, where they are at present confined. Our informant was at Rove at the time of the occurrence. Through Davis and Appanoose counties, and the neighboring portions of Iowa and Missouri, jayhawking bands are constantly prowling about. They go from place to place stealing horses and other property, and selling them, only to be claimed by a second gang as their property, who dispose of them similarly. People suspect each other of being implicated in the robberies, and mutual distrust and rancor prevails in neighborhoods and communities. It might be well if we had some State troops to guard our Southern borders, and drive off the marauding gangs form Missouri, and suppress and punish those of our own State.

The Daily Gazette City of Davenport Friday Morning August 1, 1862 (Part 1) Local Matters A War Meeting will be held at Rusch's school-house, Davenport Township, to-morrow (Saturday) evening. Hon. Jas. T. Lane and others will speak. Our Supervisors have done nobly, and we hope the people will respond suitably. Direct from Corinth.-Mr. Spearing, of the popular livery, corner of Third and Perry streets, arrived yesterday direct from Corinth. He left there on Monday last. The morning he left, Gen. Todd's division, embracing the 11th, 13th, 15th and 16th Iowa Regiments, and another division left for Bolivar, Tenn., some 45 or 50 miles from Corinth. It will be remembered that the rebels are getting very bold on that line of railroad and it was even reported, though since proven to be incorrect, that they had taken Humboldt. Mr. Spearing was on the train which discovered the burning bridge on the M.& O. Railroad, and verifies the hanging of the rebel Beadle and the burning of rebel houses. Mr. S. Says that no one know or can have a just appreciation of the realities of this war, unless he visit the scene of its action. To Recruits.-We refer to advertisement of Mr. D. Torrey, recruiting officer, in this morning's paper. Mr. T. has seen service, is thoroughly drilled in military tactics, and in every way fitted to take command of a company. Those wishing to enlist, under the liberal inducements offered in this county, can find no better man to drill them, or under whom to serve, when they come to choose their officers. Board of Supervisors. Special Meeting. The Board of Supervisors convened yesterday morning at the Court House, in accordance with the previous call. The following members were present: C. Stewart Ells, Davenport, chairman; Jno. Coleman, Rockingham; Philip Earhart, Pleasant Valley; Azotus M. Frost, Liberty; Daniel L. Lyon, Blue Grass; Geo. M. Matthes, Davenport; Wm. Murray, Cleona; Giles M. Pinneo, Princeton; John C. Quinn, Winfield; Jas. H. Ross, Hickory Grove; and Ephraim Snyder, Allen's Grove. Mr. Ells called Mr. Ross to the chair, and after a few remarks relative to the object of the meeting, offered a preamble and resolutions, which, as completed by the insertion of the names of the committee, are as follows: Whereas, It has been represented to the Board of Supervisors, of Scott county, that, in order to meet the call for additional enlistments, it is necessary to pay a bounty to those who enlist; therefore Resolved, That we, the Supervisors of said county, do hereby appropriate for that purpose, from the county treasury of said county, such sum as may be necessary for that purpose, not exceeding $12,000. Resolved, That the money so appropriated shall be under the control of a committee of six, three of whom shall be taken from the Board of Supervisors, and the other three from the citizens of the county. Resolved, That the sum to be paid to each volunteer, under this regulation, shall be as follows, to-wit: To every married man, $75; and to every single man the sum of $50; which sums shall only be paid on the presentation to said committee of sufficient evidence of said volunteers having been mustered into the United States service. Resolved, That the clerk of the board of Supervisors be, and he is hereby, directed to issue to said committee, on the written order of a majority thereof, county warrants in such of sums as said committee ay direct, not exceeding the amount heretofore specified; and that said committee are hereby empowered to negotiate the same. Resolved, That said committee shall consist of the following-named persons, to wit: C. Stewart Ells, Dan. B. Shaw, and Homer Carpenter, on behalf of the Board; and Hiram Price, George S. C. Dow, and John L. Davies, on behalf of the citizens. Considerable debate ensued, participated in by Messrs. Frost, Pinneo, Coleman, Ells, and Snyder, mostly as to whether, after the county raises its quota of 220 men by the bounty system, we might not be subject to draft to make up for the deficiencies of other counties. Messrs. Frost and Pinneo wanted to be satisfied on this point, and the latter moved an adjournment ill afternoon, which was lost. Others believed that if we raised this number of men, there would be no drafting unless under a new call. Mr. Ells proposed a modification of the resolutions, so as to confine the bounty to resident of this county; but subsequently withdrew it. The resolutions were then adopted by a yea and nay vote, unanimously. Mr. Ells moved that the members of the Board not present be allowed to record their names in favor of the resolutions. Carried. Mr. Ells offered the following, which was unanimously supported: Whereas, We believe that soldiers in camp very frequently squander their monthly pay with the sutlers and others, leaving their families and those dependent on them without means of support; and whereas, the allotment system adopted in the Eastern States, has worked advantageously in remedying this situation, we are in favor of inaugurating an allotment system for Iowa troops. Resolved, That the Clerk of the board be instructed to forward a copy of these resolutions to the Governor. The Board then adjourned sine die. ~~~~~~ (Continued...) ~~~~~~*~~~~~~ Elaine Rathmann ACC Scott Co, IAGenWeb Project List Adm: *IA-CIVIL-WAR *IA-DANES

Asmus H. Lamp Biography >From "History of Davenport and Scott County" Vol. II by Harry E. Downer-S. J. Clarke Publishing Co. 1910 Chicago. Surnames: Lamp, Gutch, Stoltenberg, Klindt, Seaman, Frye, Fulner. To few of the European nations which have contributed to the citizenship of this country do we owe more than to the German. Successful in business, its sons have also achieved distinction in agriculture, for the stable qualities of industry and frugality, which are dominant in their makeup, prove to be the characteristics which win the largest returns from the cultivation of the soil. Among the Germans who have settled in this county and whose worth have contributed so large a share to the he general prosperity of this section of Iowa is Asmus H. Lamp, who retired from active life some years ago and now lives in Davenport. He was born January 18, 1836, a son of Claus and Celia (Gutch) Lamp. The father was a carpenter in Germany, but about 1847 decided to come to this country. The family landed at New Orleans on Christmas day, after having spent twelve weeks and four days in crossing the Atlantic. They traveled up the Mississippi river the day following their arrival and when they reached St. Louis spent the rest of the winter there. In the early spring they continued their journey to Davenport, where on Fourth street the father bought a lot and erected a house. That remained the home of the family for some years while he worked at his carpenter trade. Later he bought one hundred and sixty acres of land in Davenport township near the northwest corner, for which he paid one hundred and forty dollars as it was all raw land. After having erected a house Asmus Lamp and his brother lived there during the summer, but closed the place in the winter, bringing the cattle to town, where the sons attend! ed school. In this manner several years passed, during which time the father continued to do carpentering in the town, but finally, land having been well cultivated, the family moved to the farm, on which they resided until the death of the mother at the age of seventy. Thereafter the father lived with his children until his death at the age of ninety-four years. They had four children: Trena, the deceased wife of Henry Stoltenberg, also deceased; Asmus H., the subject of this sketch; Claus H., of Davenport; and Peter, of Port Arthur, Texas. Asmus H. Lamp had attended school in Germany before he came to this country and after he reached Davenport he spent a few winters in the schools. The most of his life has been devoted to farming. For more than thirty years he lived upon the first farm of one hundred and sixty acres his father had bought in Sheridan township. It had been procured form John Van Patten, who entered it form the government. The first year after it came into possession of the Lamp family Asmus broke it and the next year, that of 1858, he married and took up his permanent residence upon it. As he gained large returns from his labors he bought other land so that now he owns four farms in Scott county: one in Hickory Grove township; three in Sheridan township, one of one hundred and sixty acres, the other two contiguous comprising three hundred and sixty acres-two hundred and one hundred and sixty acres respectively-aggregating a total of six hundred and eighty acres. He also owns the valuable town ! property where he lives, having bought it about 1888, when he retired from active life. In that year he gave his homestead to one of his sons, and, moving to the town, bought stock in the Davenport Elevator Company, in which he worked for some time. Later when the buildings were torn down and a new company organized Mr. Lamp became its president. The concern ha about thirty elevators operated in several states. He is also a stockholder in the German Savings Bank, the Union Savings Bank and the Scott County Bank of Davenport, besides being interested in sawmills in Louisiana and cement works in Kansas. As these large interests and the income of which they are productive are the result of his own efforts they certainly bespeak a life record that is most gratifying. In April, 1858, Mr. Lamp married Miss Wipke Klindt, a daughter of Hans and Dora Klindt. At the age of twenty she came to the United States. Four children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Lamp. Minnie married Lon Seaman and passed away, leaving four children, Melinda, Nellie, Arthur and Frank. Anna became the wife of Charles Frye and they live in Seattle, Washington, where he is in the wholesale meat packing business. August married Miss Mary Fulner. They live near Eldridge, this county, and have four children, Henry, Hilda, Frank and Francis. Augusta is the wife of Frank Frye, of Seattle, Washington, who is engaged in the wholesale meat business, and they have one daughter, Marian. Mr. Lamp has consistently given his support to the republican party but has himself taken no part in local affairs. Indeed, aside from looking after his various interests he holds little intercourse with the world of business, for having passed the allotted age of three score years and ten he feels he is justified in enjoying the results of his previous labor. ~~~~~~*~~~~~~ Elaine Rathmann ACC Scott Co, IA USGenWeb Project List Adm: *IA-CIVIL-WAR *IA-DANES

Charles F. Hetzel Biography >From "History of Davenport and Scott County" Vol. II by Harry E. Downer-S. J. Clarke Publishing Co. 1910 Chicago. Surnames: Hetzel, Bayha, Albright, Haller, Charles F. Hetzel by a career of honor and usefulness has left an indelible impress on the history of Blue Grass township. This estimable gentleman, now deceased, was born in the province of Baden, Germany, August 19, 1907. Early in life he came to the United States, landing in New York, October 27, 1830. In that city he met his wife-to-be, Regina Bayha, a native of Stuttgart, Wurtemberg, whose birth occurred February 4, 1812. They were married in New York July 21, 1834, and for some time resided there. In 1837 they removed to Wheeling, West Virginia, where they lived for the next fourteen years. On September 15, 1851, they came to Scott county, Iowa, of which they had heard favorable reports, and were so entirely satisfied with what they found that it became their permanent home and that of the most of their children. Mr. Hetzel became quite an extensive landowner, purchasing three hundred and twenty acres of land in Blue Grass township and eighty in Rockingham. They were the parents of eleven children. Five of them have never married but live together on the old homestead. They are Rosina C., Minnie R., Anna B., Regina S. and Henry A. Charles L. married Anna Albright and lives in Davenport; John C. is a resident of Harlan, Iowa; George D. went west and is a citizen of Grand Island, Nebraska; Frederick G. makes his home in Avoca, Iowa; and Mary E. is the widow of Frank Haller of Davenport. One is deceased. Only the three youngest children, Anna B., Henry A. and Regina S. were born in Scott county, the others having first seen the light of day in Wheeling, West Virginia. Mr. Hetzel was a man who took a lively interest in current events and gave an intelligent consideration to all such problems as effected the public welfare. He served for a number of years as justice of the peace. In Wheeling he was pleasantly affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He and his family were all member of the Lutheran church, in which they were recognized as faithful, sincere and efficient members. Their home is one of the finest and most substantial country residences in the locality and was constructed from brick made on the farm. On June 5, 1886, Mr. Hetzel passed to his reward, his widow following August 12, 1891. They will long hold an enviable place in the history and memory of Scott county. They celebrated their golden wedding at the old homestead in 1884, at which time all the children and grandchildren were present. ~~~~~~*~~~~~~ Elaine Rathmann ACC Scott Co, IA USGenWeb Project List Adm: *IA-CIVIL-WAR *IA-DANES

E. B. Hayward Biography >From "History of Davenport and Scott County" Vol. II by Harry E. Downer-S. J. Clarke Publishing Co. 1910 Chicago. To view the picture of E. B. Hayward that accompanies this biography, please go to the main Scott county, Iowa page at: http://www.celticcousins.net/scott/ and click on Pictures/ Documents section. Surnames: Hayward, Dickerson, Chapman, Cruikshank, Pierce, Kimball. Among those who have come from eastern districts to Scott county to become identified with its business interests may be numbered Major E. B. Hayward, who is well known as a successful lumber manufacturer of Davenport. His success in all his undertakings has been so marked that his methods are of interest to the commercial world, and investigation into his history shows that he has based his business principles and actions upon strict adherence to the rules which govern economy, industry and unswerving integrity. Born in Essex county, New York, October 25, 1842, he comes of a family that has long lived in the eastern states and has also been prominent in military circles. Tracing the ancestry back through four generations in the paternal line, we come to the great-grandparents, Ephraim and Phoebe (Dickerson) Hayward. The former was born in New Jersey in 1760 and served in Washington's army throughout the Revolutionary war. He passed away at Ellenburg, New York, in 1849, when he had reached the very advanced age of eight-nine years. His family included David Hayward, the grandfather of our subject, who was born in July, 1790, and was married to Miss Lucretia Chapman. David Hayward was a prominent lumberman of Essex county. The father, William J. Hayward, was born in 1813. He engaged in merchandising and also followed the occupation of farming and the lumber business, becoming a very successful man. His wife bore the maiden name of Betsy Leland and was a granddaughter of Thomas Leland! , one of the Lexington Minute Men. In 1876 Mr. and Mrs. Hayward left eh east and removed to Davenport, spending their remaining years in this city. E. B. Hayward was reared under the parental roof and acquired his education in the schools of Essex county. He enlisted there as a member of the Fifth New York Cavalry in 1861 for service in the Civil war. He became a private but was promoted to captain and later to brevet major in the Army of the Potomac. He served faithfully and valiantly for four years, afer which he received an honorable discharge. Following his return from the field of battle, Mr. Hayward engaged in business in New York for one years and subsequently removed with his family to Wisconsin, where he spent two years. He still sought another field, in which to give scope to his activity and accordingly made a permanent location in April, 1869, at Davenport. He engaged in the lumber business with the firm of Lindsay & Phelps Company, while later he assisted I organizing the Eagle Lumber Company and Hayward Timber Company of Texas and the State Lumber Company of Vancouver, British Columbia. He seems well fitted of leadership in this line and has made a close study of the lumber trade in all its branches. He is now doing business long this line in Davenport, being numbered among the successful merchants in this particular branch in the city. Mr. Hayward was married on the 7th of April, 1864, to Miss Ellen Phelps, a daughter of Elihu and Margaret (Cruikshank) Phelps. They have one daughter and one son, Elmer Leland, who wedded Miss May Pierce, by whom he has one daughter, Lulu; and Ellen I., who married W. H. Kimball and has two children, Herbert H. and William P. Mr. Hayward is an active member of St. John Methodist Episcopal church, having been chairman of the building committee during the construction of the church and parsonage on the corner of Fourteenth and Brady streets. Mr. Hayward is not given to participation to any great extent with fraternal orders, the only society to which he belongs being that of the Loyal Legion. He is, however, a thorough business man with a talent for leading, which is one of eh highest attributes of man and a necessity in these days of close competition. ~~~~~~*~~~~~~ Elaine Rathmann ACC Scott Co, IA USGenWeb Project List Adm: *IA-CIVIL-WAR *IA-DANES

Timothy A. Murphy >From "History of Davenport and Scott County" Vol. II by Harry E. Downer-S. J. Clarke Publishing Co. 1910 Chicago. Surnames: Murphy, Ellis, Gould, Susemihl. Timothy A. Murphy, engaged in the general practice of law and also in charge of a large collection business in Davenport, was born in Marengo, Iowa, March 30, 1862, and is a son of Jeremiah H. and Mary A. (Green) Murphy. The father was a native of Massachusetts and, as the name indicates, is descended from Irish ancestry, while the mother is of English birth and parentage. The public schools of Davenport afforded Timothy A. Murphy his early educational privileges, his studies being pursued through consecutive grades until he had completed the work of the high school. He then took a collegiate course in the Iowa University and was admitted to practice law in 1888 before the supreme court in Des Moines. He had prepared for examination as a law student in his father's office, the firm being then Ellis, Murphy & Gould. When Jeremiah H. Murphy was elected to congress the firm became Gould & Murphy, with Timothy A. Murphy as the junior partner. This association was maintained until the death of Mr. Gould, when William A. White became a member of the firm and was thus associated until 1892, when Mr. Murphy formed a partnership with Louis G. Susemihl under the firm name of Murphy and Susemihl. Mr. Murphy is now attorney for R. G. Dun & company and in addition to conducting a general practice does a large collecting business. He is also a director in ! the German Savings Bank and his interests are of a varied character making him a man of affairs. In his political views Mr. Murphy is a democrat and has served as United States commissioner of the second congressional district. He is always conversant with the vital principles and questions of the day and able to support his position by intelligent argument, yet political interests are but a side issue in his life, as he prefers to concentrate his time and energies upon the profession of the law and the other business affairs to which he has directed his attention. Endowed by nature with strong intellect, he has made wise use of his time and talents and he is granted a creditable position among Davenport's representative men. ~~~~~~*~~~~~~ Elaine Rathmann ACC Scott Co, IA USGenWeb Project List Adm: *IA-CIVIL-WAR *IA-DANES

J. H. Hass Biography >From "History of Davenport and Scott County" Vol. II by Harry E. Downer-S. J. Clarke Publishing Co. 1910 Chicago. Surnames: Hass, Schroeder, Stiboldt, Hanssen. One of the native sons of Davenport, who has risen to a position of honor and respect not only in this city but throughout the state, holds the responsible offices of vice president and cashier of the Scott County National Bank. His father, Detlef Hass, was born in northern Germany and came to the United States in 1852. As he had chosen the southern route, he landed at New Orleans and ascended the Mississippi river to Davenport, where he engaged in the building and contracting business. Having won a pronounced success from his operations, he retired from active life in 1886, and in September, ten years later, passed away. His wife, who was Miss Margarita Schroeder in her maidenhood, had died many years before, for she passed away in 1859. They were married in Germany, where their eldest child, Louisa, was born. She is now Mrs. Stiboldt. J. H. Hass, the only son, was born October 14, 1854. He attended the public schools of the city and, having completed the education they afforded, in 1872 entered the law office of Bills & Block, with whom he remained two years. HE was not destined for the legal profession, however, and at the end of that time, in 1874, became assistant bookkeeper in the Citizens National Bank, and to banking and kindred fields of activities Mr. Hass has since devoted all his energies. After ten years' experience in the employ of the Citizens national, on the 1st of December, 1883, when the Scott County Savings Bank was organized, he was put in charge of the concern, being then the only employe. He has, in the subsequent years, been closely identified with the institution, having proved hi efficiency in every position and contributed in no small degree toward making the concern the splendid financial institution it is today. In 1884, after only a year's experience, he was made cahier, and i! n 1908 was made second vice president. When the Iowa National Bank was organized he was made a director, which position he still holds. Previously he was connected with P. T. Walsh in the establishment of the Walsh Construction Company, of which he is treasurer. Mr. Hass is a man in whom others intuitively place confidence and upon whose judgment they are willing to rely. In September, 1881, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Hass and Miss Emma E. Hanssen, a daughter of Louis Hanssen, one of the old and respected pioneers of Davenport. Two children have been born to them. Leon H., now a student at Yale College; and Clara Louise, attending the high school of Davenport. Since 1884, Mr. Hass has been a member of lodge No. 37, A. F. & A. M. and also of Zarephath Consistory. He is a member of the executive committee of the savings banks section of the American Bankers Association and as there are only nine in this body and they chosen from the whole United States, he may be pardonably proud of this distinction which his coworkers have placed upon him. Politically he is a democrat of the Cleveland type, but he is not an office seeker, for his private interests make him a busy man and leave little time for other concerns, and yet, in reviewing the record of his life, his fellow citizens have profited by his work and the standard of manhood has been! raised by his endeavors. Personally he Is endowed with those characteristics which make a man always welcome among his associates, and he is one of the active members of the Outing Club. In religious matters he finds the tenets of the Unitarian church in accord with the breadth of his views. ~~~~~~*~~~~~~ Elaine Rathmann ACC Scott Co, IA USGenWeb Project List Adm: *IA-CIVIL-WAR *IA-DANES

At the close of the year 1836, there were about 100 souls in Davenport and probably not more than that scattered throughout the then unorganized county.  From that time on up to 1847, when the first official census was taken, settlers came in slowly but gradually.  Below is given a table of the census of the county from 1847 to 1905: 1847.........................3,652 1849.........................4,837 1850.........................5,986 1852.........................8,621 1854.......................12,671 1856.......................21,521 1860.......................25,959 1863.......................26,277 1865.......................28,474 1867.......................34,362 1870.......................38,599 1875.......................39,736 1880.......................41,266 1885.......................41,956 1890.......................43,164 1895.......................45,869 1900.......................51,558 1905.......................55,910 Debbie Clough G-erischer G-erischer Family Web Site http://gerischer.rootsweb.com/ Assistant CC, Iowa Gen Web, Scott County http://www.celticcousins.net/scott/ List Manager for: IASCOTT-L * G-erischer-L * D-encker-L Fitzpatirck-L * V-lerebome-L * Huntington-L * Otis-L * Algar-L EIGS-L * Pickens-L * McNab-L * Patris-L - Rankin-L

GROWTH OF THE COUNTY IN WEALTH AND POPULATION. The pioneers of this section of the country left their homes in the eastern states to better their condition and make for themselves and their posterity homes they could claim as their own.  Many of them were forced by circumstances to "seek pastures new" and brave every hardship and many dangers.  With assets chiefly limited to indomitable pluck and perseverance, they came here to carve out their own fortunes and in the outset were willing to take "pot luck" and trust in the future.  Hence, when the county first opened its official doors for business and the treasury drew on the people for money in the way of taxes to pay the expenses of the new and budding community, but little was forthcoming and even a deficit was reported by the incumbent of the county treasurer's office.  This is made clear by a few extracts from Mr. Barrows' excellent history which is given a place in this work.  Mr. Barrows relates that in 1838 the county treasurer received for taxes, licenses and fines, less than $500 and expended nearly $800.  In 1839 the receipts wer $2,578.04, which amount was paid into the treasury on licenses, ferries, fines and general taxes.  The expenditures amounted in that year to $1,804.63.  In 1840 the expenditures greatly exceeded the receipts.  There was paid into the treasury in that year $1,635 and paid out $2,121.  Seven thousand and nineteen dollars and nine cents was received in the county treasury for 1841 and $6,689.99 expended.  It would seem from this great increase in receipts and expenditures for this year that it was a highly prosperous one as compared with the former ones.  In 1842 the balance in the treasury was $484.48 and in 1843 the expenses of the county exceeded its receipts by $905.82.  The financial condition of the county in 1844 was considered very flattering as expenditures for that year were only $1,757.78 and the receipts $2,503.80.  A hiatus occurs in Mr. Barrows' records between the years 1844 and 1847.  For the last mentioned year he gives the following tabulated returns of the assessment on valuations on all kinds of property in the county: 73,264 acres of land valued at ..........................................$234,375 Value of town lots..................................................................71,970 Money at interest in the county.................................................1,675 Merchandise................................................................... ......10,885 918 head of horses................................................................29,244 Machinery..................................................................... ..........5,840 2,883 head of cattle..............................................................25,286 2,748 head of sheep................................................................4,013 3,960 head of hogs.................................................................4,224 5 head of mules......................................................................... .210 Miscellaneous property..............................................................800 Furniture..................................................................... ............1,960 48 wagons........................................................................ ......1,825                                                                                     _________ Total assessment...............................................................$396, 307 Now the sum total of this assessment and the various items that come under the fiat of the law for the purpose of producing revenue for the ambitious and growing bailiwick of Scott, may well be used for the purpose of comparison with a statement of taxable property in Scott county for the year 1909 to show the wonderful progress the county has made in the busy and profitable pursuits of husbandry, manufactures and other multifarious industries that have added so largely to her present wealth.

The Daily Gazette City of Davenport Wednesday Morning July 30, 1862 Local Matters Personal.-We were pleased to see our soldier-printer friend, Wm. P. Wade, in town yesterday. He is nearly recovered from the severe wounds he received at Fort Donelson. He has recently been discharged from the service, on account of continued disability. Run Over.-A child named Foley, whose parents live on Brown street, was knocked down by a horse attached to a buggy, yesterday morning, at the corner of Second and Brady streets. The horse stepped on the child, seriously injuring the abdomen, but it is believed not dangerously. No blame attaches to the person in the buggy, as the little fellow came suddenly against the horse, and was knocked down by him before the driver could stop him. Another Resolution.-The Des Moines Register, from the files of an old treason journal published in that city, gives the following resolution passed by the Scott County Democratic Convention one year ago. They were plainer in the expression of their sentiments then than they are now: Resolved, that in our opinion the war now being waged by the present Republican Administration against our brothers of the South, is wholly uncalled for, unnecessary, unconstitutional, and antagonistic to the highest and best interests of our once happy country, and that we will use all honorable means to discourage it and bring about a peaceful solution of our present troubles. Home Traitors.-The resolution passed at the citizens' mass meeting on Saturday evening last, declaring there were secessionists, et id omne genus in our city, and the way in which they should be treated, appears to give some of our thin-skinned citizens a little uneasiness. The Democrat does not approve of any convention or set of men passing such a resolution. The time has come when things should be called by their right names, and men must learn, that if they are not with the Government in sustaining it in putting down the unholy rebellion that now threatens it with dissolution, they are against it, and are just as much secessionists as though they avowed it in so many words. When a citizen is ascertained to be in sympathy with the rebels let him be marked, say we, and treated as an enemy to his country. The kid-glove policy is just as fatal to the success of the war practiced at the North as it is at the South, and no truly loyal man will object to scorn and indignation b! eing heaped upon the head of every rebel sympathizer found in our community. Our fathers, husbands, sons and brothers are periling their lives in their efforts to suppress traitors in arms against their Government, and yet scoundrels in our midst, while fattening upon the blessings these men are fighting to secure to them, will show their sympathy for the traitors, and wish that the noble sons of Iowa may die upon the battlefield; and we are to take these miscreants by the hand, admit them to our society, and wish them well. No! shriveled be our hand, and blistered our tongue, when we become so hypocritical before God and man as to act thus toward one, whom we know to be a traitor to his country, and the society that he infests.
