WET WEATHER, FROST AND SNOW-AGRI-
CULTURAL ITEMS.

Correspondence of The N. Y. Tribune.
Iowa CITY, April 49, 1858.
Aaer weeks wet weather, in which has been CON-
prised joint partnership bet all the stormy ele
msnts, awoke this morning TO look upon snowy
winding sheet suddenly thrown upon the hopes which
had been Swinging up within Inc in regard TO an
extra early farmiI season. During the last week

The Hon. Samuel S. Cox Of Ohio was one of the
earliest, most ardent most thorough among the
Democratic opponents in Congress of Mr.. Buchsn-
ans latest policy with respect to Kansas. We be-
l;eye be ade the fret speech in the House against
the Lecompton swindle, and, down to the week
during which the English bill passed, he denounced
that bill as meaner than the original Lecompton,
ard hardly less atrocious. Ga Monday Of that
week, be wrote home letter (Which be sbowed),
.akirg strorg ground against the Eoglish con-
trivance; on Tuesday, be was Of the same mind;
on Wednesday, he began to take different view
Of the matter; on Thursday, he was fully conyertei
to TIE English faith; AMI on Friday, he was one Of
its NEST Jealous supporters. Being rather harried
by Mr.. Ha.kin ia the debate of that day, be wrote
note TO The Union, ioclosng Gov. Walkers letter
ia favor of the bill, which ne desired to have pub
shed to explain and justify his vote. The gist Of
Of that Walker letter, thus held up as shield by
Mr. Cox, is as follows
the bill passes, the cdious Lecompton COnstitu-
fion, bonn in fraud and baptized in forgery and per-
ury will be defeated by Overwht lining voc OF the
people Of KaJsas thus demonstrating by practical re-
suits the truth Of my interpretation that this bill does
in fact submit the Constitution 10 the popular suffrage
for i8tifc.ti ton or rejection, which Is ali have ever
required"
MIR. Cox, it will be seen, still regards the Le-
compton Constitution as "born in fraud and bap-
ct zed in forgery as detested by the People Of
Kansas, and certain to be rejected by them ii they
are allowed fair vote upon il. He, therefore
does not expect to close the controversy by passing
the Erglish bill. And yet he votes to give the
People of Kansas this option: Take the Lecomp-
"tn Constitution, and you ,hall be in the Union
sat once, with very large slice of the Public
Lands for Railrosds, in addition to the usual
grants: Reject the Lecompton Constitution and
"you must stay out of the Union for an indefinite
~rod-until on official census shall have demon
strated that you baye at least %, 900 nhsbitsnts
"-aDd then tske your chance of getting any land
for Railroads" This is Whist Mr.. Cox has voted,
not to settle the controversy BY getting tie Le-
compton Constitution adopted but TO keep up the
sg'aton for years to come. He has voted that
