POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS AT ATLANTA-TooDIBS

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR Political discussions are becoming lively
here at the capital. First, we had Judge Linton
stephenss speech IN the Representatives Hail. on the
18th, followed by remarks from the redoubtable
Gen. Toombs. Judge Stephens speech was extremely
hitter toward Mr.. Greeley squirting side-wse toward
Grant. Indeed, good many people here believe that
the whole thing concocted aud designed as flank
movement In defense OF Grant. Gen. Toombss little
speech in perfect character. He was violent aud
abusive He bOased OF having trampled the old flag
under his feet hundred times" he avOwed his un-
compromising hostility 10 the Government; swore he
would get piece OF chalk carry II In his pocket that
he would chalk every Greeley man, and then kick
him out OF the partyl" He also declared that he
would rather for the devil and old John Browns
ghost than Tor tue nominees OF the Cincinnati Conyen-
ton" The General wound up his TRADE In his usual
way. lie gave "'Tne Old SHIP 10 the God OF storms

large number OF respectable citizens OF Atlanta hay

GEN. TooMBs CORRECTED.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: 1t is surprising to find Gen. Robert
Toombs alleging his reason for opposition to
Horace Greeley that Greeley is a Woman's Rights
man." The present writer, having been one OF the
feeble minority who voted for woman suffrage In our
state Constitutional Convention Of 1851 where MI Gree
ley was its potent opponent can TESTIFY that Cen
Toombs is most lamentably mistaken as TO MI Greeley
position on that subject Horace Greeley agrees with
Robert Toombs on the "Woman's Rights question"
But what has the WOman's Rights question" TO do
with the Presidency OF the United states AT TINS time
This struggle IL for the correction or Federal abuses ana
the reform OF Federal usurpations. Woman suffrage
will come whenever women want and demand it; and
them do not doubt, both Greeley ana IoOmDs VIII con
cede r. In the meanwhile, If Greeeys supposed advo-
caoy of "Woman's Rights" has constituted Ioom0ss
reconsider his opposition, and support Greeley.

SIR: Can a railroad company give clear

Chicago, June IS, 1872.
We are not aware that there is any difficulty In ac-
quring clear title TO the bonds OF land grant railroads
built with the proceeds Of lands issued under first
ond mortgages We think that most Of these instru
ments contain clause substantially Ike that In article
Of the Northern Pacific Railroads Mortgage, viz.
"And whenever sales OF land shall be made by the
Company the payment 10 the Trustees OF the proceeds OF
such sale shall release the said lands so sold from the
lien OF the mortgage; aud the Trustees shall and will
thereupOn execute TO tho purchaser Thereof 10 the
Company full and sufficient release OF the said lands sold
AS aforesaid from the aforesaid en that the pur
chaser shall hold and enjoy the same, free from any in

by preceding requirement Of the mortgage the
money paid by purchasers Of lands goes directly TO the

A COMPLIMENT TO SENATOR MORRILL,.
The people of Vermont take pride in
the success of their public men. whether
in the State or at the Capital Of the ma
ton; and therefore will be gratifed to
learn what the Springfield Republican
says of a recent speech of Senator Nor
rill. 1t says: mo sounder, more sens
ible or more effective speech has been
heard in Congress for many day than
the one which Mr.. Morrill, of Vermont
pronounced in the Senate on Friday,
upon the contested North Carolina SEN
atorship. Mr.. Matt Carpenter, who fig
ures in this affair as the volunteer IN
paid attorney of the military gentleman,
by the name of ABBOTT, now trying to
steal seat, had just delivered one of
his brilliant legal arguments, and Mr..
Morrill, replied to him. We hear some
times of crushing replies. This is one
of that sort. The Vermonters logic is
as good as his sarcasm, and throughout
the speech there breathes an honest con-
tempt for the knavish project he is
fighting, which is thoroughly wholesome
and bracing to the moral sense. 1t is
plain enough now that his project is
dead, and Mr.. Morrill, can justly claim
that he was in at the death. ''-Rut-
land Herald.

We will not undertake to express the
sorrow we have felt and still feel at the
misfortune which has overtaken General
Stannard. All we know of the affair
may be found in another column in an
item taken from the Burlington Free
Press. We cannot help dropping a tear
over the fate of this brave soldier and
true man. Whatever criticism may be
passed by others. the soldiers of Yer
mont will surely exercise towards him
the broadcast charity and the most active
sympathy. 1t seems clear that he is
guilty of no criminal intent and they
will not wholly cast him off because of
this misadventure.
But while we sorrow over STANDARDS
fall, we are pleased that the office is
given to another soldier, Gen. VIM. Wells
of Burlington. We have never met
Gen. Wells, personally, but his reputa-
ton belongs to the State, and in it we
have ever felt soldiers pride, and for
him soldiers good will. We are told
that he is an accomplished, genial gen.
tleman, of excellent social and business
habits, and every way fitted for fine po-
sition. Gen. Wells went into the war
as Captain in the Vermont Cavalry,
and rose to the rank of Colonel and

LARGE PICTURES!
why WILL YOU BE HUMBUGGED I?

As certain parties are now travelling
through this county humbugging folks
by soliciting old pictures to be copied.
representing that they will do it cheaper
than any one else, | propose to give you
a few facts in relation to them. In the
first place the pictures that they deliver
are common plate pictures-enlarged tin
types-for which they charge you from
20 go per cent. more than [ charge
for the same kind of picture, for the
very reason that they are obliged to pay

penses of the travelling agent, all of
which you will save by getting your

find it to your interest to bring your
work here to be done, as | warrant my
work as good as the best and cheaper
than can be done by sending it away
Also, you will find my work just what it
is represented to be, as | shall not palm

have bought and settled in this state
from the more northern states, there is
as great variation in success, arising
from variety of reasons. | can point
to few brilliant examples; and there
are some examples of as great failures.
There are very few from as far north as
Orleans county-most are from Pennsyl-
vania. The former methods of cultiva-
tion employed here. the climate, the very
considerable differences between the soil
and the great variations between the
different characters of Virginia soil, all
constitute problem which the average
farmer coming from the North has
found beset with many difficulties but
there is no doubt but he who comes
with a surplus capital over and above
the purchase price which he pays for
his land, and with patience and intelli-
gence sits himself to learn the capabili-
ties and the necessities of his new sur
roundings, not expecting sudden wealth,
but looking for competence and increase
to come as it always does slowly in re-
ward of patient toil-such man will
surmount all the troubles Of the situa-
ton and probably consider it good for
tune that brought him to Virginia.
But he who comes expecting roses with
out thorns, and fortunes in an hour
will be very surely disappointed and
leave Virginia in disgust if not in anger.
The climate, especially of the Valley,
is very good-the only drawback being
the variable weather of the winter season.
Perhaps | might close this letter as |
began-with the weather. Since April
came in it has been very seasonable-
sunshine, showers. and gentle rain, with
warm balmy air. As | write, with the
window open, no fire, temperature just
comfortable, neither cool nor warm,
the rain falling gently, the cattle are
grazing on the fresh bright green hill
side in front of my window and I know
that over the hill the wheat shows a
most beautiful, healthy, vigorous green.
The last [ heard from Vermont. snow
was four feet deep and small signs Of
a thaw-but I suppose you have had
it before this twelfth day of April.

Section 5, as amended, provides that

Brigadier General of volunteers. He
succeeded Gen. Washburne as Adjutant
and Inspector General of the State,
which Office he still holds. His sympa-
thies and associations are all with the
soldier, and we shall expect he will deal
considerably with those soldiers whom
he may find in subordinate positions in
the department. Especially do we hope
that he will not disturb the present Of
ficers in this county. After repeated
changes at one or two points. especially
at Newport, Gen. Stannard had at last
satisfied not only himself, but the people
along the border-and the complaints,
formerly so rife, have all died away. The
good sense and prudence of the new Col
lector, will, however,-with the aid of
the new civil service regulations, -ena-
BILE him to avoid all unnecessary up
heavals and deal justly by all.

How EUROPE Observation-Disclosures
in weather this winter have been very
marked. We in this country have been
served with an unusual variety, no one
sort IN particular prevailing. In Eng
land the winter has been particularly
mild; so it has in Belgium, where in
mid February the peach trees were in
full bloom, and the lilacs in flower. If
they have, however, such March as
ours, with the thermometer sinking be-
low zero. the summer will bring them
no fruit. In Norway and Sweden the
winter has been very open, the sea ports
mainly free from ice, and as is usual in
unreasonable weather, there has been
much sickness. On the contrary, it has
been piercing cold in Italy. In Wen

MELANCHOLY Loss OF LIFE AT SEA-
The British ship st. Magnus, which ar
rived at Calcutta in February. reports
that on the 9th of January, in latitude
80 s.. longitude 19 E., man was seen
clinging to a SPAR waving his hat to at
tract notice, but the wind was blowing
a gale and the sea very rough. The
ship Immediately shortened sail and
made preparations to haul on the wind
and rescue him if possible, but by
the time this was effected ten other
men were seen on raft. 1t was impos-
sible to tack, so the vessel was wore
round and made an effort to work to
windward of the unfortunate men, but
in vain. She drifted faster than the
wreck stuff to which they chung and
night coming on they were left to their
fate. The sea in the vicinity was COW
cred with fragments of a wreck.
