The Kansas Election,

The question as to who Will represent Kan
sas in Congress at the next session, is likely TO
be an exciting one, and promises to give some
trouble. The Washington correspondent of the
n. Y. Courier and Enquirer, gives the follow
ing statement of the case, which may be con-
sidered as the Northern view: -
The majority for Whitfield, the Missouri candi-
date for Delegate in Congress, from Kansas, is re-
ported 70 be $500 votes. This decisive success is
supposed TO have been attained by 200 MiSsOurians
voting tor Whitfield and 200 for Reeder. These 200
extempore Reeder men were retained FOR " bitield,
and only gave t-eir vote for his opponent, because
it was thought that il would look better to throw
some votes for Reeder, in order TO give the affair
the aspect OF q contest
The organization of the House will probably turn
upon this single question of admitting Whitfield or
Reeder. The Northern members with the exception
of about Is Democrats attached 70 the Treasury,
will vote for no tor Speaker, who is not previ-
onsly pledged to constitute the Committee Oh Flee
tons in a manner which shah preclude the recogni-
ton Of Whi.felds pretensons. II he is rejected
it will be upon the ground that the election by which
it is pretended that he chosen, was wholly in
valid, from the unconstitutional exclusion OF the free
State settlers ION the polls. The election laws Of
the mock Legislature required, a condition pre-
cedent to the right vote, that the voter, chal
lenged, should pay 81 as a registration fee, and
to support the statutes framed by its auihor
~, and the fugitive slave act Now whether these
conditions were locally proper improper, there IS
no doubt hat they were directly in conflict With the
constitution. In voting upon Whtheld's pFeposte-
claim to a seat, therefore, it will not be neees-
sary even to pass upon the general question,
whether the mob meeting, calling itself a Legisa-
ture was legal not 1t is enough that the decree
adopted by it ordering election, was wholly
unconstitutional and void It viii remain to be dcci
ded by the House whether, during this suspension
OF legislative authority, the people OF Kansas had
the right TO elect Delegate Ia order TO secure
their right OF representation. Upon the decision
OF that point viii depend the admission or rejection
OF Gov. Reeder, who was, Of course, returned by
the legal voters Of the territory, on the sth inst
there being no opposition. We have yet beard
nolhing OF The proceedings on that day, aud i - only
after the lapse Of fortnight, that we have positive
information Of the fact that Whitfield imported his
constituency the day before his election. The free
State party have taken All suitable measures 90 rep
resent the whole case 20 Congress and not the
slightest pretext for misunderstanding It's merits
will be leis TO either party. 1nL

not affect the State lien on said road, was ami
mated. The passage of the bill was recon-
mended by the Internal improvement Commit

bill to amend the charter of the town OF Win

upon the point as to whether the Senate would
continue the practice of chartering private

Courts of the country. The agitation Of the

which have been practiced under the system
Of loose legislation in this regard heretofore,
and will no doubt have a salutary effect upon
the future.

Can Steam be Superseded as Motive Powers

This question is the working problem of
solved the world will hail the fortunate dis
coverer as q general benefactor. When steam
was first introduced it was adequate to any
tax the boldest philosopher of the time could
dream would ever be demanded of it; but the
multiplying wants of the rushing world are
now eagerly inquring whether something
cheaper and quicker, and safer than steam
does not exist in nature for the service of man.
There are many plans and agents before
the public and each may have its merits; but
many things must unite in favor of motive
agent to ensure its success 1t must be al
least as cheap and universally applicable as
steam, and must be better, in some character
istics than steam, to even rival that world es-
tablisbed power.
There are two motors of new and stri-
king character now on exhibition at the Crys-
tai Palace New York that are attracting the
attention of sGraaB and engineers, aud there
is still another that claims to exceed all these
lately patented, which is expected before the
Fair closes
One of these is a new application of q known
chemical power and claims to exceed steam by
many degrees in prompGtude aud power. The
other, the Cloud Engine processes to be based
on new discoveries of natural principles, and
is endorsed as "grand scientific feat" by Pro-
fessor Mott, Of Union College n. Y. Its prac-

inventor claims for it-by combination of
air and steam. If this prove to be a veritable
result, it will be of incalculabe value, and the
legion of skiiltul engineers and enterprising
capitalists will not neglect to examine thorough
ly the respective merits of the various motors
on exhibition.
