COCXTV JAIL.—This popular establish
ment seems to he very liberally patronized
by those who have come in contact wit li the
laws. There arc at present twenty-five in
mates for various oil'enccs. Many of tlrc.-c
are awaiting the November session of the
I)istrirt Court. Owing to the greatly in
creased rate of provisions it is thought tliat
the price of board will have to be in
creased.
DEAD FCKDS.—This county has now otr
hand the sum of §15,000 of the School
Fund which cannot be loaned under tl|c
present laws and restrictions, consequently
the schools are not receivin the benefit
they usually do in the way of interest,
therefrom. At present it is so much dead
ci pi till. Would it not be well for the Hoard
t-j take some steps to have this sum invest
e 1 iu funds some way so that something
.maybe gained from that fund'/ Wo be
lieve there is a law providing for the invest
ment of such funds in U. S. Bond.-?.

In a very few words, for We have not time
to do such a bundle of stupid errors justice
In this issue, wc propose to set the matter
right. It would be an outrage to let such
so article go forth uncontradicted, as it
places our ity in a most despicable light,
anl ic.s great injury to our commercial in
terest
The gist of the article is: there ere 21
dealers in dry goods—which sell "at least
over $2'tO,OOU annually." Of this the "job
bing trade amounted to over f")0,00U."—
W underfill! With a population of over
lo,000 people, it is a very huge business
Thes« stores have a "capital of #126,000!"
also "43 vlerks, at an expense of
Our observation is different. We have
only had time this afternoon to canvass
eleven of tha twenty one dry goods stores,
and we find that the annual sales of these
amount to the very respectable sum of
l§V0.000 We also lind that the jobbing
is confined principally to three or four
houses, and that for the past ear that
branch of trade amounts to about $275,.
OOO! These stores, wc find, employ a
force of about sixty clerks, at an expense of
about
Some of these stores do about as much
business as the Gazette gives the entire
"twenty-one" that it "canvassed" credit for
and we can point out a single one that in the
past car can show by its books a job
bing trade of nearly three times as much as
that p..per concedes to ail! One of these
firms assures us that it will give a million of
dollars for the leading dry goods trade of the
city and that by proper effort—employing
coiumerckil travellers, etc., it can easily do
a business of one-half a million of dollars
ai nually with no decrease in the present
number of dealers.
ThiB answers the main features of the
Gazette'* story, llow it should have fallen
into such an egregious error, after "can
vassing the city," as it declares it has done,
is more than men of ordinary judgment can
determine. A thorough cauvass must show
figures considerably heavier than we have
made above, but as before stated, our limit
ed time would not permit us to give the
matter that thorough investigation that the
subject demands.
The minor dotails of the article such *s
the advance in price of certain styles of
goods, etc., are nearly as absurd a s the rest,
but it is not worth our while to follow them
through and make corrections, Any lady
or gentleman can g"in information of a
practical kind, upon this head, if, indeed,
they have not already tried the experiment,
by taking a hundred dollar greenback, and
going into any one of our stores to purchase
a few dresses, some muslins, trimmings,
etc. Ordinary prints haue gone up 700 per
cent so have muslins—and more too, and
other kinds range up close upon those high
igures.
In justice to the commerce of our city
and particularly to our Dry Goods Mer-
cKnts,
we hope our cotemporary will make
a prompt correction of its errors. Such an
article »ing forth among the people as a
reflex of b^ness here, cannot be but hurt
ful to the invests of our growing city.
Any little village ~an sell as many goods as
our neighbor gives nr dry goods men cred
it for selling. Davenport sold more dry
goods than that lo yean ago, and ten years
hence we look to see her million*

nounced, with a flourish of trumpets, that
in a f-hort time it would spread before the
public some very important and valuable
Utatist cs concerning the I)ry Goods Trade
of ur city. Knowing that the editor of
that paper had tak«n plenty of time to ex
plore this important branch of business in
•Ibavenport, the public very naturally1 ex
pected something elaborately accurate—
some statistics that would do honor to our
city and to the acknowledged enterprise of
her merchants. What, then, must have
bcin the surprise of the youth of our ritr,
to say nothing of our business men, at read

this morning concerning the dry goois
trade.

On motion Board took a recess of li.irty
minutes for the purpose ol considering mat

for the ensuing year.
Mr. Mead from Con. on Relief funds re
ported the following resolution
That a tax of mills on the
dollar be levied under Chap. 8!) of the Acts
of the Ninth General Assembly, to be
known as the "Relief FMnd" for Soldiirs'
Families.
And that the same be c.tpeuded by the
Supervisors or each Township according to
the necessities of these families.

Ota COUSTV WARRANTS.—The following
siatemer.t of Ira M. GifTord, Clerk of the
Board of Supervisors, exhibits the p«eacnt
current indebtedness of the con nty:

warrants outstanding .$3,160.35

Orders cancelled gince June 1st,

ing.... $3,323.72
This suindoee not include the appropria
tion for raising recruits for the 44th Iowa
Infantry (100-days' men.) of about flu,000,
consequently the floating debt of the coun
ty is now about |13,500. It is ur. derstood
that the levy to be made at the present ses
sion of the tdloard of Supervisors will be
sufficient to provide fcr^hc paymen of this
debt, together with the estimated current
expenses.
GENTS vs LADIES DRESSES.—Looks queer,
don't it, to sec an "old bach"—he for in
stance, who localizes the Gazette, who never
owned a piece of dimity—nevwr had the sat
isfaction of carrying home a "love of a bon
net" or a "perfectly splendid" dress pat
ter to a delighted wife—to see figur
ing up ftio cost of femin me raiment, and
then scolding becan.se th*: bill foots up into
(he eighitieg. Then he tikes his slate and
figures OB gent's dress—cheats in the fig
ures—then berates the 'adies for being so
much more expensive in dress—says it
costs #21 more to dress a lady than it does
to dress a gent. We eny it, ladies. Your

In addition to the above footing of the
estimated expenses, it is thought that a
further sum of full $30,000 will have to be
levied for the support of the families of sol
diers now in the field. This is a tax that
cam.ot be ignored, although it will be a
v.rv heavy one upon the taxpayers of the

QUOTA
ward is out of the draft! Her quota is
filled and more too. ITcr citizens bestirred
themselves in season, and now rest In
peac. No vi.-io is of drafting tune'iincs, ar
my clothes, muskets, unwelcome bullet
holes etc., disturb their quiet slumbers.
Bully for the Fourth.
The best way to avoid the draft is to
purchasey our clothing at Sam Perry's op
posite the Post Office. He makes up the
best suits and charges the most reasonable
prices. Go and seo Sam.
