INDEPENDENCE, Sept. 8, 1872
Mr.. EDITOR:-Sandwichc somewhere
mid political discussions and other en-
crossing topics current, I want you to
call the attention Of our authorities to
the very reprehensible practice of some
young men in collecting in groups on the
river bridge and corners Of the thorough
fares of the city (whcre tho public are
obliged to passl for the apparent purpose
of making remarks, and offensive and
sometimes insulting observations to those
who pass in relation to them, so that la
dies who are unprotected are inundated,
and many gentlemen with ladies would
be glad to find roundabout way rather
than be subjected to their jeers and vul-
gar slang. Our officers whose duties lie
in that direction owe it to the public that
this nuisance be abated, and those rights
which arc common to all, in using with.
out prejudice that which we all pay for,
demand of those young men that they
abandon SO Objectionable habit; not ut
all to mention the claims which good
breeding holds on every one of them, and
which are imperious and cannot with i'm
punity be disregardcd.
Much more may DO said; much less
will hardly answer the end desired.

PARDON OF JOHN OAKs.-Our readers
doubtless remember the circumstances
attending the killing of John Oakley by
John Oaks, while assisting in charipari
at the house Of the latter, in the fall OF
1868. Oaks was arraigned and tried for
murder before the District Court Of this
county, in May, 1870 He was convicted
of manslaughter and sentenced to one
year in the penitentiary and to pay Il
fine of $780, His case was taken on a
bill Of exceptions to the Supreme Court
where it has remained without action ev-
er since.
In the meantime, his faithful attorney
j. S Woodward, Esq, exertcd himself to
procure pardon for Oaks, obtaining the
signatures to petition Of all the county
officers and many influential citizens ia
the Governor to that effect. His efforts
at last have been crowned with success
Gov. Carpenter attached his signature to
the pardon of John Oaks on Wednesday
last, and the brand Of criminal is remov
ed from his name 1t is probably better
so, than that he should 60 to prison; the
act was done in the heat Of passion, un
der great provocation, and undoubtedly
| without murder0us intent. It has prob
ably afforded him life lesson to curb his
temper, as it is.

INDEPENDENcE.-Th editor Of the
Waterloo Courier visited our city last
week and in his issue of the current week
thus records his impression of it:
When in attendance at the Judicial
Convention at Independence last week,
by the courtesy of Capt E. c. Little, the
popular postmaster of that city, We were
transported about the town behind his
spanking bay. It is four years since we
visited that charming city, and though
our impressions at that time were Of the
most favorable character. our observa-
tions Of last week added vastly to our
old admiration. On every hand were
notably evidences Of thrift, wealth, pros
perity and business energy; new business
blocks, one of which, three story iron
and stone front, is the largest and most
imposing we have seen in northern Iowa.
Another, that Of the First National Bank.
is fine and massive cut stone front of
artistic design and workmanship. All
along the main street the debris of mate
rial proved the rapid growth now going
on in the way of fine business buildings;
while ON the various residence avenues
scores Of stylish dwellings arc in course
Of erection. Among these we noted the
new and fine dwelling Of our old friend,
D. L. Smith, the present Clerk Of the
Courts Of Buchanan county, one Of the
most competent. popular and gentleman
ly officers, and generous, honorable men
it has been our good fortune to know.
His POPULARITY may be conjecturcd when
~, l,o Il as.r
mated for Clerk by the Republicans, the
Liberals and Democrats, with much
larger relative vote than we have in this
county. refused to make nomination
against him-a most unusual mark Of
esteem.
Congressman Donnan also is building
fine residence, and many others whom
we cannot now recall. Besides these
enterprises of private nature, there are
evidenced Of public improvement by the
city corporation; grading Of streets, new
sidewalks; new iron bridge to be soon
complete, the massive granite piers being
already up. A mile or SO 70 the west
