(iencrul Toombs’ Speech.
V/e publish below a speech made
by this distinguished Georgian, to
the cititens of Atlanta on last Thins
■Jay niglit, as reported by the Atlan
ta Constitution. General Toombs has
alwavs been known i s an extremist,
and ho is certainly anxious to keep
up his character in that particular.
Such speeches as this will perpet
uate sectional stiife, and will do more
to keep Grant ami the extreme Ra i
cal wing of the Republican parly in
power than the endorsement of half
dozen State Conventions We have
no doubt that this speed) will to kept
standing in the columns of every
Radical paper from now until the
election, and tolled under the tongue
of every hater of the South as a
sweet morsel. Every Radical speaker
will quote this speech to justify the
administration in their unconstitu
tional legislation and to show the
necessity for Ku Klux laws, the sus
pension of the habeas corpus and the
enforcement act. If General Toombs
will but repeat this speech through
out tbe North, Grant’s election is a
certainty no matter whether the Do
mocracy nominate a straight ticket
or coalesce with tlio Liberal Repub
licans. It there is anything which
will render the election of a Demo
clat ;m impossibility, it is for men
like Mr. Toombs, who are looked upon
as exponents of Southern views, in
dulging in such wild, fanatical gas
conade as the following :
‘•So far as the Government of the
Uuited States is concerned, I am its
enemy. 1 have trod under foot the
daunting lie a thousand times and
trust to do it again.”
Mr, Toombs is sadly mistaken if lie
thinks he can drive honest, conscien
tious men from their convictions of
duty by denunciation aud abuse. In
telligent men may be convinced of
their error by argument, but billings
gate aud vituperation are utterly
powerless to convince anybody and
its legitimate result will be to stir up
bitter animosity in the party and
defeat that unity in which our safety
lies.
General Toombs proposes to“ki'.-k”
cut of the party all who do not agree
with him Well, we opine that he
will be about as successful in this new
io!e as be was when be sought, dur
ing the war, to control the Confed
erate Government. It is written that
the time wi;l come “when one shall
chase a thousand,” but we do not
icmember that it is any w hero in ibal
good Book said, ibat one shall "kick”
a thousand, and that will be abou 1
the proportion when Toombs nud his
followers essay the task of kicking
out cf the party the conservative
element, who look more to the good
of the country than uiero party
success.
SNEAKING AT THIS CAPITOL.
Judge Linton Stephens, last night,
spoke at the hall of tlie lleuse of
Representatives to a full house. \\ e
noticed many ladies out He was
frequently applauded during its de
livery. As wo will give the speech
entire in our afternoon edition we will
oinit even a synopsis of it.
Hon. Robert Toombs responded to
calls in one of bis cliaraclori tic el
forts.
Fillow-citizkns : I am not in
this programme. [ Laughter.] 1
came here as a listener. I have not
made a speech since 1868. I have
been watching events though. lam
an outlaw. I am proud of my out
lawry, [laughter,] anil I thank the
living God that I have lived to see
just such a state of things, because
we shall he able to sift the chaff from
the wheat—we can tind out all the
true Democrats, chalk their bar k and
kick the others out ! [Laughter.]
I stand upon the principles of public
liberty which lias been advocated for
eight centuries by my ancestors —
principle as good today as 1237.
I stand by free governments and the
right of freemen to govern them
selves.
You talk to me about your Grants
and Greeley*, and all such stuff I
will heat them at the ballot box, or
any other sort of box you choose.
[Applause and laughter.]
Now, this is a very plain question
—there is uo trouble about it. Show
me a man that tried to make a party
out of the negroes, and I will show
you a Greeley n an. Show me a
Bullock man that has turned Demo
crat, and I will show you a Greeley
man—a thief that has robbed the
Sta'e, and I will show you a Greeley
man. Show me one of tiro Mitybell
j orphans, and I will show you a (in e
| ley man. Sl.ow me a Stale R -ad
I lessee, and I will slo w you a Greeley
man; but show mean honest man
and I will show you an anli-Giedey
j man !
i Why, we have no questions with
us. There is not a while Greeley
man in the county of Wilkes, the old
hornet’s nest of tiie revolution.
I am glad we have got them all
together. We will get the New De
parturists the bullock men, the swin
dlers, the thieves, in ono pile and
then gel rid of them.
As to Greelev and Grant, with
cue exception, 1 would support eld
John brown's Ghost, if I could
maintain Democratic principles and
popular rights. 1 would support the
devil in pieference to either of them,
because when you support the devil
you support a very respectable an
tagonist lie is not a coward. lie
fought God Almighty a very respec
table fight,and He fights him a pretty
I tough fight till now—so the story
goes in reve'alion.
As to me I put my politics on one
section of Jlagna Uharta. No man
shall be imprisoned, found guilty or
exiled unless by the decision of a
judge, and the verdict of a jury ac
cording to the laws of the land.—
The laws that Ho makes, and I will
accept laws from no other. So far
as the Government of the United
States is concerned, I am its enemy
I have troJ under foot the flaunting
lie a thousand times, and I trust to
do it again. They are no friends of
mine or of my couutry —they ate no
friei ds of liberty.
What’s the difference between
these people? Grant’s ast 1 .ier, a
sort of fool, but he loves his fiieuds,
sticks to his kin, his kith. [Laughter]
Hut Greeley loves nobody—don’t
even love his wife and is a woman’s
rights man. Lie is a woman’s rights
man and 1 wouldn t vote for him for
that if for no other reason. ‘“That’s
the matter with Hannah.” If the
women only had the right kind of
husbands there would be no women’s
rights women. [Laughter and ap
plause.J They say a great deal
about the old white hat and old
coat, llis white hat is bis greatest
distinction.
I tell you one thing. I said to an
Augusta man, you abuse Atlanta
Why? Where did bullock come
from ? Kroiu Augusta, my own Dis
trict. Whore did Conley and Blod
gett and Eph, Tweedy come from ?
Why, from Augusta. And I hope
we sent you ali the rogues we had.
They all gathered here in Atlanta,
for where the carrion is the crows
will gather. Bullock came, they
came, more vultures You did not
raise ono of thorn on your soil; but
take the hard fisted men of this town
and there is not a people in the wot Id
who show a magnanimity grander
than the common men of Atlanta.
Now, fellow citizeus, I dou’t know
where this is going to ; with all rev
erence l say it, I leave it with God
I know my duty ; to do justly, to
maintain free government, to main
tain public institutions, to fight all
cowards and t;aitors, to eland on this
grand old ship of tho Constitution,
and fight under the principles of
e ght centuries. It’s true, pirates are
aboard in the Grants; rouges are
boring her bottom in the Greeley#.
Cast one into the sea; hang the
other; do your duty; trust lo God.
What then? Let the storm come ;
let tho robbers'have charge of her;
let the borers succeed; nail to the
mast the holy flag, and give her to
the God of the winds, the lightning
and the gale. [Vociferous applause ]

The Killing of Colonel 31. K.
Palmer.
Wo have further particulars of this
sad—this cowardly event, for which
we are indebted to the courtesy of
Colonel b. Estes, of Gainesville, who
was in the citv yesterday. Col. E.
obtained most of the information here
given from Mr. J. E. Redwine, of
the Gainesville Eagle, and Col. II I*.
B e |l both of whom were at iiiwaa
s*-e, while Towns County Court, was
in session —Mr. Palmer being there
also, attending court.
On Tuesday evening, tho4:h in.st.,
after getting through with his busi
ness at court, be left Hiwassee, going
six miles that evening in the direc
tion of Cleveland, lie stopped at
the house of Mr. M. V. England, and,
aftor breakfast the next morning, he
again set out for his home in Cleve
land. He was alone, and was shot
by some one in ambush, after lie had
traveled about three miles, and was
approaching the base of the Blue
Ridge, on the north side He was
shot from behind with a rifle ball.
It entered the left side and passed
near the heart, coming out near the
pit of the stomach. Col. I’aimer
was riding on a mule. The signs
indicate I that it ran with him about
seventy yards before be fell. It is
supposed that ho died immediately,
as Lo was found vvilb bis face upon
tbe ground, apparently in the posi
tion in which be fell from the mule.
Some one was near the place, who
heard ilia shot, and found Mr. Pal
mer soon aflet, bat life was totally
extinct.
A coronets* inquest was held over
liis body, which returned a verdict
that he was murdered by some | er
son unknown. LIU remains were
carried to Cleveland for interment,
where he was buried with Masonic
Honors About seventy live Masons
were iu the procession, and a vast
multitude of persons from every part
of the county, and even adjoining
counties, attended the funeral.
Nothing has transpired in that
county fur many years which lias so
aroused the sympathy and ind gna
tion of the people of ail classes. A
braver man—one having a higher
mind or nobler spirit—never lived or
died. He was the friend of the poor
and the oppressed, a lover of liberty;
and a man of truth. He loved the
trut i for the truth’s sake ; be scorn
ed the things that were mean ; he
spat upon ai.d defied everything that
was not lofty in honor, pure in prin
ciple, and incorruptible in these dis
ordered days. The wicked feared
and dreaded him, and he has fa'len a
sacrifice to his principles by the band
of a dastardly assassin, who no doubt
is ono of the robber clan which have
infested that bill countiy since the
war, and who have been pelted, pro
tected, and upheld by Radical offi
cials in this Stale and elsewhere.—
He leaves a wife and some small cliii

when the title of citizen carries with
it all the protection aud privileges to
the humblest that it does to the

houis of the session was spent in

College bill, were concurred in.
Dr. M rry E Walker attempted to

Hou>e today, during tecess. The
capitol police squelched her.
A sharp pas-age occurred to-day
when speaker Blaine rebuked repre
sentative Platt, of Virginia, who ac
(•used Blaine of a false count. The
House sustained Blaine when Platt
apologized, whereupon Blaine regret
ted that the unprecedented charge
had provoked him lo say that Platt
was either grossly ignorant or gross
ly disrespectful.

from hour to hour. Finally the

Greeley to tlie Union League.
Some time iu 1865, shortly after
Mr. Greeley signed Mr. Davis’ bail
bond, lie was notified by the Unioi/
League, of which he was a rnemj>«r,
that motion had been roadd'fur his
expulsion from the League as a trai
tor, aud lie must appear and show
cause why it should not prevail.—
llis reply appeared in the Tribune of
next day, aud a Tennessee exchange
produces so much of it as appears
below :
At once a concerted howl of de
nunciation and rage was sent up
from every side against me by the
little creatures whom God, for some
inscrulible purpose, permits to edit a
majority of our minor journals, ech
oed by a yell of “stop my paper,”
from thousands of instructed readers
of the Tribune. One impudent pup
py wrote me to answer categorically
whether 1 was in favor of hanging
Jefferson Davis, adding that I must
stop his paper if I were not. Scores
volunteered assurance I was defying
public opinion, that most of my
leaders were agaiust me, as if I could
be induced to write what they wished
said, rather than what they needed
to be told. I never before realized
so vividly the baseness of the edito
rial vocation, according to the vul
gar conception of it. The din about
my ears uow is nothing to what I
then endured and despised. I am
humiliated by the reflection that it is
or was in the power of such insects
to annoy me, even by pretending to
discover with surprise something that
I have for years been publicly and
emphatically proclaiming.
Gentlemen : I shall not attend
your meeting this evening. I have
an engagement out of town and shall
keep it. Ido not recognize you as |
capable of judging, or even fully ap-1
prebending me. You evidently re- I
gard me as a weak sentimentalist, j
misled by a maudlin philosophy. 1 j
arraign you as narrow minded block
beads, who would like to be useful to
a great and good cause, but don’t
know how. Your attempt to base a
great and enduring party on the hate
and wrath necessarily engendered by
a bloody civil war, is as though you
should plant a colony on an iceberg
which bad somewlieie drifted into a
tropical ocean. I tell you here, that
out of a life constantly devoted to the
good of human kind, your children
will select my going back to Rich
mond and signing that bail bond as
the wisest act, and vvi I feel that it
did more for freedom and humanity
than all of you were competent to
do, though you had lived to the age
ot Metbusalah 1 ask nothing of
you, then, but that you proceed lo
your end by a direct, frank and manly
way. Don’t sidle off into a mild
resolution of censure, but move the
expulsion which you proposed, and
which 1 deserve it I deserve any re
proach whatever. All I care for is
; that you make this a square stand up
fight, and record your judgment by
yeas and nays. I care not bow few
ot you vote for me, or how many
vote against me, tor 1 know that the
latter will repent in dust and ashes
before three years have passed. Un
j demand, onto for all, that I dare
an i defy you, and that I propose to
fight it out upon the line that l have
held from the day of Lee’s surrender.
So long as any man was seeking to
: overthrow our government he was
: my enemy ; from the hour in which
• he laid down his arms he was tny
lormetly erring countryman. So long
as he is at heart opposed to national
unity, tiie Federal authority, or to
the assertion of equal rights to all
men which has become practically
identified with loyalty and nationali
ty, I shall do my best to deprive him
of power; but whenever he ceases
to do this, I demand his restoration
j to all privileges of American citizen
ship. I give you fair notice that I
i shall urge the re enfranchisement of
those now proscribed for rebellion,
1 whenever the country shall have been
: so thoroughly pacified thatTts safety
will not thereby be endangered. —
| And so, gentlemen, hopiug that you
will henceforth comprehend me bet
ter than you have done, I remain,

From President Wills , of Oglethorpe
University.
Atlanta, Ga. May 15. 1872.
Webster’s Dictionary, it is well known,
has been adopted as a standard work in
the Courts and Colleges of both Europe
and America, and the first scholars and
statesmen of the world have bestowed
upon it their united and unqualified com
mendations. For nearly half a century
it has been regarded, by the cultivated
classes of the whole country, as a com
plete atid authoritative text-book of the
English Language, in its history, princi
ples, its polite pronunciation and popular
usage. Th< New Illustrated Unabridged
Quarto, is not only adorned with three
thousand beautiful engravings, but also
embodies the results of the latest and
nrnst laborious researches in Science and
Literature. Dr. Mahn of Berlin, the
most eminent Philologist in Prussia, was
employed to perfect the Etymological
part of the Dictionary, and the whole
world concedes that none con’d have done
it better. Dis. Goodrich and Porter, as
sisted by other distinguished Professors
of Yale College, superintended the defi
nitions of the principal words Professor
Hadley's History of the English Lari,
guage. and Mr. Wheeler's “Explanatory
and Pronouncing "Vocabulary of the
names of Noted Fictitious Persons and
Places,” are both original contributions
to the present Edition are well worth the
price of the volume. We confess that it
is next to impossible for ns to conceive of
a system of lexicography richer in all the
elements of literary and artistic excellence,
and we should suppose that no one who
had not unlimited confidence in his own
mental resources would venture to attack
such a magnificent monument of wisdom
industry and skill.— D. Wills, President
