and dropping issues made 40 fast a.
whipped, siezes other expedients with
which to make defense. In to-day's
issue he joins the Courier and John
F. Irish together, Is making COM
bined attack upon the Hon. M. M.
Walden, aud denominates the Courier
:" a staggering, personal and factional
paper"
That fellow has been hit [! he is
wounded for sure, or he would not get
so red hot and flutter go prodigously.
Will our friend allow us to suggest
that calling ones opponent hard
names, making frequent requisition
upon billingsgate, for ammunition is
not profitable.
My dear sir, you must keep cool !;
take frequent cold shower baths, and
if this does not effect cure, tread on
some old lady's toes that she may
spank you into the use of discretion.
1t is a good joke for our friend to
charge us with making war in couple
upon Mr.. Walden.
The dispatch alluded to from Iowa
City, coming from Irish as we felt
certain, we did not publish, though
it came under our observation.
Hunting with John p. Irish we have
always left to the Register to do, and
We venture the assertion to-day that
our irascible friend has published more
laudations of John p. Irish than any
other one journal in Iowa, and if it
dares we will appeal to the record to
prove it.
We have taken occasion to say, that
in our opinion Mr.. Walden has not
properly disposed of his back pay
that the money either belonged to
him or it belonged in the q. s. Treas
ury. This we said long before Mr..
Walden had disposed Of it. In this
we are supported by the press almost
If not quite universally. Nothing we
have said upon this question is in ad-
vance of what the most influential and
best of Republican journals have said.
If Mr.. Irish has expressed similar
views he is hardly hunting In couples,
for such journals as the st. Louis
Democrat, the Chicago Journal, and
Inter-Ocean, are also hunting with
him. This CHASING, by our friend, OF
the Courier and Mr.. Irish together, is
one of his unmannerly lodges, show
ing that when legitimate sources fail
he resorts to throwing dirt. We had
supposed that our friend had about as
much meat in a Congressional way as
he could say grace over at home, ii
however, he must fire off his blunder-
defbuss at the Sixth district, we
will take it kindly Of him, but ii
is. quite likely his success will be NO
better here than at home, at least
when our people shall have had
a thorough acquaintance with him.
The Gos City says: Judge Love
made an important ruling in a bank
rupt case decision in his court on
Wednesday. Formerly the United
States District Court did not have the
same jurisdiction over nonresident
defendants as the State courts, but the
acts of Congress of 1872, gave it q like
jurisdiction, whereby non resident de-
PENDANTS could be summoned to ap.
pear by notice published in the news.
papers. Judge Love, in his ruling,
puts the provisions of this Congress
iOnal act in force for the first time in
this State, and it will be an important
precedent in the future.
Between the LIST Of September, 1866,
and the LIST of April, 1873, the amount
paid on our national debt was about
500, 100000, or something like $50, eOO,-
600 a year. At the same rate, the
debt could be paid in twenty-seven
years, as it amounted to $2,l55, 736, GAL
on the LIST of April. Thus the last of
the debt would be paid in the last year
of the century, 1900.
The Ottumwa Qowa) Courier won't
mend matters much by declaring the
Changers to be dead beats, who are
always anxious to make themselves
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Democrat.
The protection that we have against
such falsehoods as the above in regard
to what we have said about Changers is,
that falsehoods are what the public
expects from notorious liars.

"The farmers of Iowa are organizing

The World.doubtless gets the infor-
nation from democratic exchanges in
