THE NEBRASKA BILL in THE HoUsE-On
The 2lst inst, an attempt was made 10 force
the Nebraska bill upon the House Of Repre-.
senla,ives. which ended rniher disaslrouslv
for the friends Of the bill. We quote from
the proceedings. received by telegraph:
Mr.. Richardson moved ,het the House 90
into Committee Of The Whole ON The State
ofihe Union wilh-the design Of reaching The
Nebraska Bill. Lost. ycss 80, nays l08
The House then proceeded TO take up the
business on the Speakers table, and after
disposing Of several small bills, reached the
Nebraska and Kanzas Bill which was read
amidst much excitement.
Mr.. Richardson moved to refer 10 the
committee on Territories.
Mr. Cu,,ing moved TO refer to The com.
miuec Of the whole. This was opposed by
the friends of the bill, as an effort 10 bury i,
beneath tho mass Of business already before
the committee.
MIR. Cutting cal lied the previous question
on q motion 20 refer the Nebraska bill 10 q
Commuee Of the whole. The call was sus
,ained.
The question was then taken. and the
House referred The bill by vote Of 10 yeas
10 95 nays.
The opponents Of the bill manifested gfea,
joy nj this result, and its friends evinced
chogdn. Thus the Senate bill was placed
No. SO ON the calendar of the Committee o.
lhe whole. The House bill, which is nearly
the same, is No. 81 ON the same calendar
A the other bills preceding these measures
will be either laid aside seratim or oher'
wise disposed Of. before either of The Ne
braska bills can b. reached. A majority
determine the business 10 be acled on il
Cnmmuee Under ordinary circumstances
ihe bill cannot be reached until some lim
next session.
SO this infamous bill may be regarded q
killed, unless its friends resort 10 some un
usual melhodto bring il up near the close o
the session, or al some lime when many O
lis opponents are absent: If no, passed hi
session, i, may safely be regarded as dead
Before mex, session commences, the peoPl

PENNSYLVANIA PoLITIcs.- There are three
candidates for Governor in The Keystone
State, regularly nominated. VIM. Bigler,
Democrat; James Pollock, Wing; and Benz.
Rush Bradford, Naive American. The
Native American party is quite formidable
in Philadelphia; but outside of The city, its
strength has never been fully tested. We
think, however, The contest will be between
BgIer and Pollock, and that the former will
be elected.

The evidence Of the English consuls and

The so-caled Greek Christian subjects to-

The steamship Black Warrior is engaged
we believe, in The Mobile and New York
trade, touching, en- route, at Havana. Il has
been customary with vessels in this trade
in making ou. their manifes,s, TO include only

The island Of Cuba, en,erlng articles intended
for ports OF The U. S. as ballast. So far as
Cuba is concerned, they ave ballast, and they
have no business 10 meddlc with them at ALL
This custom has been followed for some
time by .hese steamers, with the sanction o
the Cuban government.
But very recently the authorities ordained
that every article in transit should be spec
