FAREWELL OLD YEAR.

A glance at the date of this issue re-
minds US that aEother year is hurriedly
preparing to pass over its checks to
"Old Mother Time" The last week
Of the last month is upon Us, and it
might not be amiss for us to take a ret
respective view of the past year; but
we forbear to look back, lest We suffer
the fate of Lots wife. We prefer to
''leave the dead past to bury its dead"
We have all had some misfortunes and
adversities during the past year, but it
is folly to spend the present precious
golden moments in grieving over the
mistakes of the past. Bitter regrets
and secret pinings over scidt has been,
will only tend to weaken our energies
for what is to be. Let us gather
strength from the experience of the
past, and look forward to a more hope
eal future. Let us not prophesy adj
wersity nor heed advice from the fren>
zied croakers that throng our path.
There are those who make it rule
10 look at the dark side of the picture
only, and they never once see the "sil'
yer lining of the storm>cloud." They
are bound with their troubles, without
any hope of resurrection. The sable
clouds of Ito great extenD imaginary
sorrow shuts out all the beautiful sun
light of life. Contact with such par
ties, unless prudently guarded against
is as dangerous to our prosperity as th'
breath of the fatal si>moon to life anC
health. The times in which we liv'
require men and women of Cheerful
hearts, iron nerve and indomitable en-
ergy.
Our National centennial year is abou
30 usher in. and we prophesy an un
usual onward move in all the arts anC
sciences during the year, for inventive
genius will receive fresh impetus from
the awards end encouragements give
fby the various centennial exhibitions
The times are indeed propitious. w
are having tremendous political rev
olution. Rings and cliques that hav
been plundering the people are bein
hunted up, and honesty and fair deal
ing is once more becoming fashionable
Let us no longer distrust. We ough
TO, can and must look to a hopeful fl
.ture; matters might be worse, let U
make them better. The great worl
above and around us is grand and beau
fiful to those who try to make it 81
We are making rapid strides toward
better day. This life of ours is, aftt
.all, about as we should make it. Ifw
can banish grief and care, let's haste
undertake it. We hope our readel
have had merry Christmas, and "
now wish them glad new wear.

The upright and fearless course of
ex-senator Henderson in the prosecu-

nently before the public. Mr.. Hen
derson, it may be remembered, was in
the Senate from Missouri at the time
of the impeachment of President John

Maine, Grimes of Iowa, Trumbull, o.
Illinois, and Fowler, of Tennessee, fol
acquittal. As he had previously beer
staunch Republican, and ,,as accout
ed as certain to vote for conviction, hi
action provoked a bitter hostility t.
him, which he ascribed, rightly o
wrongly, to Ben Butler and Gen
Grant, and which resulted in his beinI
shelved by the Missouri Republicans
He denounced Grant and Butler pub
licly and privately in 1868, and beinI
somewhat vindictive, possibly he ha'
not yet forgotten his antipathy. PEI

The September Term District Court ad
journed Friday evening of last week
The Criminal Calender was an important
one, and our District Attorney. NJ. P.
Smith, by his vigorous and successful
prosecution on behalf of the State, has
richly earned the praise Of all who desire
to see law breakers brought to swift
punishment. Capt. Smith is evidently
n of the most successful prosecutors
the District ever had.
At our last term there were two indict-
ments for murder, one for m%anslaughter,
and n forgery. Verdicts Of guilty
were returned in all of them. Only two
verdicts of acquittal were returned, and
they were in cases of minor Importance.
At this rate criminals had better keep
out of Capt. Smiths hands for he handles
them without gloves, and that Is just
what the times require.

EDITOR CHRONICLE:
The Independent of Oct. 7th has a Ions
arsicie published over the signature of r
y. Austin, in which he tells the people o,
lama County that l did keen six dollar,
and ten cents which did not belong tn me-
l dsd collect at different times s1e on the
execution referred to by him, and paid to
MY. Stewart of Chelsea 81 for which he
was to send me a receipt to attach to nv
return. That receipt l never received un.
I'll Sept. Both, 1875. The execution
could not be returned at the proper
time for want of that receipt. In the
meantime the Execution was misplaced
and as soon as found I handed it to the
clerk, together with the 500, the entire
amount ~unaccounted for according to Mr..
Austin. Mr.. Austin says he has not
knowingly made a single statement that
has done injustice to me. He knows
that during the last term of the District
Court he repeatedly stated that I had
collected $4,000 from MI. Huff and was
using the money, and when Mr.. Huff
told him he was mistaken he said he was
not for l had the money. The Records
show that I collected the money on the
of May and paid it to the proper party
9th OF May, there being only forty-eight
hours time between the receipt of the
money BY me and the receipt of the
plaintiff to me for the money. He says l
and my friends charge him with Intemper-
anes, and to these charges he makes no re-
ply. Well,if l vas in HIS place and a man
should charge me with 1ntemperance l
would not say a word, either, if l could help
it. AS to the charge against Mr.. Dexter,
they are entirely foreign to the question,
and as to the Peak Executions mentioned
his article / never had anything to do
them. Mr.. Austin says some one
having keys to his desk took certain pa.
Ders. I don't know anything about any
keys to his desk, except those kept by
himself and his deputy, and I know moth
ng about the papers he refers to. As to
he rest of his remarks it is needless to re-
by to them. Mr.. Austin is evidently in
desprateb strait. He can see his chances

Gov. KirkoOd's Speech.

The was a large audience at the Court
House Wednesday afternoon of last week
10 listen to the speech of Gov. Kirkwood.
Those who were there were not disap-
pointed. The speech was a plain, manly,
outspoken presentation of the issues be-
fore the people. There was no beating
about the bush, but language in plain
terms that everybody could understand.
We are glad that Governor came, not that
we think there was any danger of his los
ing Tama County, but it gave our citizens,
or at least the few who were out to hear
Shep. Letter, a chance to contrast the
candidates, and Judge for themselves as
to who was the better man for the office
of Governor of Iowa. We would like to
give q full report of speech, had we space.
The Independent waXeth merry at a typo
graphical error which escaped onr notice,
in a job recently done at the CHRONICLE
office. In a sale bill the date line said
the sale would mem at al o'clock
p. M" The line was first set up''1 O'Clock
p. H." and when the 1 was changed to II
the p. NJ, was not changed to a. m. We
have been having such q rush of work
the past six months that in our hurry the
mistake was overlooked. But in the H.
dePendent office where they have no job
work of any account for the simple reason
that they cannot do a decent job, mistakes
are very common occurrences upon the
the few jobs theysdo get. We have in
our Office a specimen of work from the
Independent office, and not a large job
either in which there are etgAteen mtstakes
and it was intended as a fine job, too.
