KANSAS LECIsLATURE.-The Legislative
Council of Kansas met at the time and place
appointed BY tile Governor, as the law di-
reefs. But the place not .uting the members.
they passed bill removing the place of meet
ing to the Methodist Mission. The Governor
vetoed the bill-the Legislature passed it over
his veto, and removed to the Mission. They
met on the 10th inst. Among the proceed
inys. we find the following:
Mr.. Marshall gave notice of bill requiring
citizens emigrating from Massachusetts and
those other States which have nullified or may
nulllfy the laws of the United States, to take
an oath to support the laws of Kansas Terrific
ry John Thompson Perry. of the Methodist
Church South. was chosen Chaplain.
Mr.. Marshall, of Pawnee district, introduced
bill providing that every man who shall pay
the sum of one dollar poll tax, and produce a
receipt for the same to the Judge of any cleo
ton. shall be legal voter, provided such shall
be citizens of the United States, and shall have
taken oath TO support the Constitution of the
United States, and the act organizing the Ter
ritory of Kansas. Bill read first time.
Ifthis bill presented by Mr. Marshall, should
pass. any citizen Of Missouri or any other
State, vote by paying ore dollar! Can it
be possible such bill will pass? We will not
believe it. Surely such an act of infamy can
not be perpetrated by American citizens.
