WAsnrNaroN. Aug. 9. 1873.

TIE Oregon BW
The Committee on Territories, IN the Senate,
are determined, apparently, that the blame shall
not lie attheir door, if the Oregon bill is passed
They yesterday reported The bill back, with an
amendment 10 the liih section, which will, we
think be satisfactory TO all who are not fanatics in
their views on this question. Section ~, as il
passed the House OF Representatives, reads thus -
"Beit enacted, that the inhabitants of said terrific
ny shall be entitled to enjoy all and Singular the rights
privileges ana advantages granted and secured TO the
people Of the territory Of the United States
Of the river Ohio by the articles of
in the ordinance for the of said territory
on the 18th July, 1857" &C.
The committee have reported an amendment to
this, which will, we think, get over the phantom
which the South saw in it. The amendment is as
follows =
THAT the said territory lies north Of the parallel
Of so deg. 80 min north latitude the inhabitants
thereof shal be entitled to enjoy all and singular
Oregon lies north of this line, and the South
cannot, therefore, object to the prohibition of sla-
very where the offensive language is Withdrawn;
nor can the North oppose the amendment, as it
gives them all they clam. It is very possible that
in view OF this amendment, ''the compromise bllI''
will not be tackled on, as was at first the Intention;
and if so, il is probable the bill will pass both
houses of Congress, and at once go into operation.
The Senate committee have also struck out the
clause which took away from the executive the
veto power. When Iowa was organized into a
territory, the veto power was denied the governor
and the consequence was, there were more mes
sengers appointed 10 wait upon members OF the
Legislature than there were members appropra-
uon bills OF all kinds were passed, and all sorts
of wasteful expenditures were entered INTO Had
the governor had the power to veto such mea-
sures, 1t is more than probable he would have ex-
ercsed it-as he was an officer appointed by the
executive land removed In consequence, from Lose
local influences which exert themselves more or
less, on those who are comparatively irresponsi-
BILE. The committee, doubtless had the example
of Iowa IN their eye, when they agreed to recon-
bill OMEGA.

Several papers having contradcted the truth OF

since, with reference 10 Messrs. Sngerland and

particulars as 10 how obtained my information,
and what reasons | had and still have TO believe
IT to be correct. My informant was a gentleman
connected with the Philadelphia Buliettn who
stated he had il from Mr.. Slngerand himself
that he had written statement (simlar 10 the one
Ipubshed) and had submitted 1t to Mr. Singer
land who approved OF It, Besides this Mr. Sim
gerland, as am informed, stated publicly all the
facts which gave. After the publication of my
letter, Mr.. Bolts spoke 10 me IN the House of Re-
presentatlves, and said that so ilr as he was con-
-cerned, the statement was not correct taen
told HIM was informed OF 1t by gentleman who
had II from Mr.. Slingerland. He said he would
speak 10 Mr.. :. about H. and get denial from
him. He went OIL and spoke TO Mr. Slingerand,
but that gentlemans answer did not appear to
please hun, as he LETT him rather hurriedly, aud
passed me without speaking. | then went to Mr..
Shngerland, and asked him if the statement was
correct not! After some hesitation he said,
substantially, that he did not know-he thought IL
wasn't exactly correct but in what respect 1t erred
| could not learn. He appeared good deal con-
tased Now, this rs the state OF the case, and i it
is not true, Mr. Slingerand can deny il. II he
does Twill then be compelled to bring forward proof
to substantiate what ] have written observe
denial OF my letter in, yesterdays Philadelphia
North american, signed ''Independent." My an
swer to It is above. AS to the impairment person.

The opinions expressed by ''Independent'' sell
dom OF much consequence. When he attempts TO
express his own, they are worthless. Here, no
person need be told what position he occupies;
and at distance, any information on that subject
would be out of place.
P..S.-Since writing the above have seen the
gentleman who, in the first place, gave me infor-
nation ofthis matter: He states that he has just
had an interview with Mr.. Slingerland- is at
gentleman denies, positively, having gwen Mr. In
dependent authority to contradict to confirm the
statement; on the contrary, he had never seen him
till the other day, when he came to Mr.. SIS seat
in the House, and that he was so busy at the time
scarcely to know what 8. Independent was
was speaking about; but he is confident he gave
that individual no authority to speak for him.
