INGALLS, AND PoMERoY.-In his
speech at Atchison, on his return to
that city, Mr.. Ingalls, alluded as fol-
lows to the relations between him.
self and Mr.. Pomeroy In tho late
contest. We quote from the Atchi-
son Daily Champion:
He commenced by saying that he
had had about one hours sleep each
night for the last ten days, and
physically felt little like making the
effort he would wish, but he did say
that his triumph in being elected
over Senator Pomeroy was not q
triumph over a foe, for Mr.. Pomeroy
was no foe OF his. He said there
was an explicit understanding be-
tween Mr.. Pomeroy and himself,
about the time Mr.. Pomeroy left for
Topeka, some ten days before his
own departure, that he would in no
way interfere with possibility of
Mr.. Pomeroy's success, but IL upon
arrival at Topeka, Mr.. Pomeroy's
chances were not good, then under
those circumstances, he was to be q
his part that was faithfully carried
out to the letter, and II was recog-
nized by Mr.. Pomeroy and his
friends. The legislature of the
state saw no solution to the prob
lem only in his election. On his
part he did not labor to that end
until il was told him by the gentle
men who had been working in his
interests that he had been pledged
votes, more than enough
to elect him.

The sOLplERs, LAND BILL.

Mr.. EDITOR: see by the Com
moRscealth of 18th ult., that a meet
ing of soldiers was held in Topeka
fer the purpose eff taking some ac-
ton to induce our senator's and |
representatives in Congress to urge |
the passage of the bill granting to
soldiers and sailors 160 acres of
land, free of all charges, and with
out being compelled 20 reside
thereon. This is step have been
hoping to sec made for some time.
1t is q move, if successful, that its
instigators may well be proud of.
Thanks will be due from every SOL
der and sailor in the Union, to all
the senator's and representatives
who lend their assistance 10 the
passage OF such bill. The passage
of such bill will be an invaluable
help to the soldiers and sailors who
have no money, consequently can
not avail themselves of the present
law; to those who are crippled so
that they cannot work farm, the
passage of this bill! will be an i'm
mense help.
But l think where there is so
much good to be derived some evil
will follow, and to avoid this evil,
or in other words, to avoil specula-
ton, it would be well TO insert q
clause compelling the sailor or SOL
der taking l60 acres under this act,
to keep it limited time, as under
the present law in doing this the
spectators cannot at once get hold
of it, and by the time the limit runs
out the country where this land may
be located will be thiczly settled. or
at least tracts of land be so divided
| spectators will not be so anxious
to invest in scattering unimproved
lands, situated beside or between
well improved farms, when such
raw lands will be liable to same as
sessment If owned by said specula-
tors, as the improved farms. But
if this bill passes and limit is made,
l do not anticipate, at the end of
such limit, there will be any raw
land taken up by soldier or sailor
for sale, for these reasons: If a
sailor or soldier is allowed the priv
ilege set forth in this bill, and has
no money TO move, he can locate
and let some one that is able (and
there is plenty of such not included
in this act, would jump at the
chance) take his farm, improve, ETC.,
! for q consideration that may be
agreed upon, SO that at the end of
the limit that may be made, some
Will be benefited by haying another
improved farm, the poor soldier
who cannot make q place under the
present law will Eaye good farm,
beside having had chance to help
along a friend who may not be &C.
cessable to this law; when, if the
law remains the same this poor SOL
der will net be able to get farm at
all, but the land will in time be
gobbled up by these land-graspers,
who are enriching them selves daily
by grasping the lands that should
be put into the hands OF the poor
man by the passage of such bill as
spoken of. Typo,
Who was a soldier and can't get a
farm unless this bill passes.

THE COLD TERN AND PEACHES.


The st. Joseph, Mich, Herald
in reviewing the situation in the
peach orchards in that locality,
say:
Until the winter of 1872 the
st. Joseph fruit region accepted
sixteen and eighteen degrees zero
as the limit of cold beyond which
the tender peach trees would en-
dure no more. Apples, pears,
cherries and plums, more tardy
fruit, were set down as destroyed
by degree of cold measured by
twenty degrees below Zero. Last
year, however, many localities that
reported twenty-five and twenty
four degrees below zero, were
found to yield average crops of
peaches; and whole orcksrds
whose buds, examined after the
frost wave had passed, had not
live bud, produced
most valuable burdens of peaches;
and the severe cold of twenty-five
degrees below zero, which fell
upon some parts of the country
FIVE or six miles from st. Joseph,
was accompanied by q hoar frost,
and this melted, leaving no bad Of
fects. Since the late intensely
cold term many live buds have
been found on peach trees in To-
particularly exposed to

THE CALDWELL INVESTIGATION.

The most important testimony
taken since our last issue was that
of Len. T. Smith, Caldwell's busi-
ness partner, and his righthaud man
in the election two years ago, and
the cashier of the bank where Cald-
well did his business. Smith con-
tradicted all Carney's statements,
and the bank books proved little
that could go to fasten crime upon
Caldwell. After the witnesses were
aIl examined Caldwell made his
promised statement, which simply
cOntradicted every thing, aud was a
very weak affair. Notwithstanding
the impression now prevails east
that he will be acquitted by the
committee, the belief is almost
unanimous here that he ought to be
ousted. His defense throughout
bears upon its face weakness. and
falsehood, and report from the
committee acquiting him will not
remove the general conviction OF
the people, especially in Kansas,
that he is guilty, and ought to be
turned out.
Below 10 a couple of the latest
items from Washington in regard
to the matter. A special dispatch
to the St. Louis Republican, dated
Sunday, says:
1t is confidentially asserted that
the committee on elections and
privileges will acquit Senator Cald-
well Of the charges against him.
The committee, IL is said, will take |
the ground that no evidence has |
been adduced directly connecting |

DEATH OF AN OH REsIDENT.-We
learned, this week, of the death OF
Seth NJ. Hays, of Council Grove.
He chad been q resident there
for about thirty years, and was, be-
fore the settlement of the country,
q frontiersman and Indian trader.
He was between sixty and seventy
years old, had never been mar
ried, and was rather singular
in his habits. He left quite q
fortune to his adopted daughter, he
having no relatives. His estate is
estimated in the neighborhood OF
$4,000. The will is said to be fixed
so that no adventurer or fortune
hunter can ever reap any benefit
from IL.
