We give in another column an account Of a
very interesting interview between Mr.. CALI
cot, in the Albany Penitentiary, and one OF
our reporters in which the recently pardoned
convict spoke very freely Of the circumstances
which led to his two years imprisonment and
the heavy penalty Of ten thousand dollars
fine. Having served out his term the Presi-
dent has RENTED the fine, thus placing CALI
cot at liberty. For this the released prisoner
expresses himself very grateful to General
Grant, but he awaits the advice Of his counsel
as to whether he shall 60 forth into the world
until his character is clear of the charges
against him of defraudlng the government
while In office as Collector Of Internal Revenue
In Brooklyn. He alleges that his perfect limo
cence can be proved, and, as will be seen
by his conversation with cur reporter, he refers
to many details connected with his trial as
regards the witnesses and the jury. All these
facts he proposes to make public when such
justice is done to his injured character as will
warrant him in accepting the Presidents
pardon.
There has always been q mystery about
this case of Calllcot. II was alleged by his
friends that he was the victim Of conspiracy
to shield other parties more guilty than him
self; and, Notwithstanding that his trial and
conviction were apparently fair, he was little
more than q scapegoat in the transaction.
This view Mr. Callicot evidently takes him
SELF strictly affirming that he was not the
principal in any fraud committed against the
government. AT present Calllcot assumes
the attitude of martyr. His promised
revelations, If they ever appear, may be ex-
pected to stir up some old and curious stories

Treasssrcr'. Bend Again.

A few words will show the weakness Of the
REPUBLICANS apology for the action Of the
Board. The fact that the tax levy for this
year is $4,000, Is no Justification. Much OF
this tax will be paid in county Warrants, and
it is not probable that the Treasurer will
l,ave in his possession at any time, $4,000
But supposing be should have $50, coo, or
with the School Funds, $4,000, would not
a sixty thousand bond be enough Citizen,
Feb. "a
We regret that the Citizen cannot confne
itself more to facts and less TO imagination
Here are few facts which the Citizen is at
liberty to questio If it chooses. The aver
age amount of money in the hands of the
Treasurer of Tama County, during the last
two years, was $4,000. The amount therein
on the 1st of March, 1869 was SCI 900, one
thousand dollars which the Treasurer's bond
did not cover. On the 1st day Of January
1900, before tax paying had commenced. the
Board of Supervisors found between $4,000
and $4,000 in the County Treasurer.

"A BRUTAL AssaULT.-About @ year aco
ran BY the name of Hutchinson. with wife
and two children. came from Canada, and
settled in Oneida township. Not long ago a
brother Of his wife also came bringing " ith
him young woman who lived with him as his
wife, The parties oil lived under one roof.
The young woman soon commenced abusing
the children. knocking one of them under the
table. 70 this the mother objected of course.
One day, recently, the brothers went some
little distance from home to engage in thresh-
ing, and on account OF the children, the wo>
men engaged in t.-eshiag at home. A boy
passing by the house learned that there was
trouble, and he called upon the Hmtchinsons
and told them the women were engaged in a
quarrel. The unmarried one Immediately
started for the house. About an hour after,
the ether brother becoming uneasy, also re-
paired to the house. and on arriving there,
found his wife upon The bed, senseless.
1t seems that when the unmarried brother
reached the house, he joined in with his mis-
;ress and made an assault upon his brother 9
wife, shame.ully abusing her, and, at last,
dragged her ont doors, and then jumped upon
her with his feet.
After lie had left her she arose feeling
some what bewildered, but finally found her
way TO the house and met the brother of her
husband and his woman. coming out She
spoke TO him and he answered her with a VOL
ley Of abuse. The Two had taken part Of
their effects. Mrs. Hutchinson went to the
bed aud lay down, and soon became uncon-
scious.
The next day the brother returned for the
articles he had left, ana lie gave Mr.. Hutch
inson enc hundred dollars ia goll to give TO
his wife which she refused. Her brothers go,
out n warrant for his arrest but he made his
escape.
The assailants beat Mrs. Hutchinson badly
about the head with their fists, and one of her
eyes was severely injured. When they left
her, she was lying upon the ground in an un>
conscious condition. and she remained so for
some time, long enough for them to get togeih-
er their effects Citizen Feb II

Union Fairs.

We are sorry to see the Leuder making eff
forts to organize District Agricu tural So
ciety, composed Of portions Of Tama, Powe~
shiek, Marshall and Jasper counties. We do
| not discuss the right Of the Leader to give
this advice nor the right Of portions Of the
above named counties TO thus effect such an
organization. We do, however, question the
desirabilty Of such q course, and especially
| its good sense. Tama is one Of the large coun-
| ties Of the State. It's agricultural resources
are unsurpassed, perhaps. by any county in
Iowa that could be named Its manufacture
ing resources are many and extensive. Its
mineral wealth, not counting the coal mines
not yet developed, but calculated to under
lie an extensive area of soil, while incapable
of accurate computation, is immense.
Tama County, thus situated, is capable of
| supporting an Agricultural Society that shall
vic with those of older and more populous
counties. Thus far, such an organization has
not existed here. There has been an evident
lack ofharmony nd concert Of action between
different portions Of the County. And be-
cause this harmony and concert Of action
among the citizens could not be obtained, one
