The CONGRESSIONAL KANSAS COMMITTED
The Fusion SPousHN DEFEATED.-We pub
lish to-day in full the resolutions Of Mr..
Dunn, adopted in Congress on Wednesday,
touching an Investigation into the extraordi-
nary doings in Kansas of the last twelve
months or so. In these resolutions the Speaker
is given the power to appoint . committee OF
three members of the House to visit Kansas;
they are invested with the power TO send for
persons and papers, and ten thousand dollars
are appropriated towards their expenses.
This is infinitely better than the modest r,
quest of the free sell Committee on Terrific
ries for power to send to Kansas and all over
the world for persons and papers. Under their
plan the expenses Of witnesses, all the way
from Kansas and other places, would hardly
have been less in the end than two or three
hundred thousand dollars; for it is very likely
that every active Niger WoRsHrPPeR in the
Territory who has lost money in the business
would have been sent for to come to Wash
i1gton to testify before the committee, in order
not so much to elicit additional facts as to
give hiIS comfortable sop OF the spoils. We
are gratiied, therefore, tina. the House Of
Representatives have overruled the plumber
seeking Committee on Territories in the deci-
sion that instead OF bringing all the free soil
population of Kansas to Washington to tes-
siiy, a committee Of three SHALL go to Kansas

thus prevented in the public treasury.
