In the SENATE yesterday, long and interesting
debate took place on the House bill providing for
steam revenue cutter for New-York, which passed
after being amended by striking out so much of the
bill as designated that the cutter shall be stationed
at the Port Of New-York. This bill was regarded
by several Senators as establishing steam cutters
az general system, and the bill was supported by
one side and opposed by the other accordingly.
Mr.. BROWN (Miss.) made speech in yindca-
ton of the South, and charging on the Republi-
cans, notwithstanding their disavowal, an intention
to interfere with the democratic institutions of that
section.
In the HOUSE, the Rev. Daniel Waldo was re-
elected Chaplain.
A bill was passed for paying Gen. Scott, under
the Lieutenant General resolution the amount to
which Attorney General Gushing said he was en-
titled 1t gives him 500 900 in addition to $40 900
already received and places him on the same foot
ing with Washington provided by the law Of
1898.
An ipeffectual effort was made to make the bill
establishing q uniform rule Of naturalization the
special order for the 18th of January.

We publish to-day some interesting letters in
relation to Kansas. Tney 60 to show that while
the struggle is yet by no means over, there is stl
every reason to hope that by 6rmness and perse.
verance we thall yet succeed in saving Kansas to
Freedom. The policy adopted by Gov. Geary, and
especially the removal of the infamous and unscru-
pulous Lecompte, must be set down as triumph
over Border Ruffianism only second to that which
the Free State settlers ach eyed when with arms in
their hands they repealed the tide Of Missouri inva-
sion.
In struggle by brute force for the possession Of
the Territory, the Border Rufians had great ad.
vsntages. They had Missouri close at hand for
their base of operations, whence at moment it
was easy to draw any number Of men which their
necessities required. 1t was, therefore, plainly for
their interest to bring the question to the test Of
aims, and President Pierce by leaving the admin
Iteration of the Territory to alternate for several
months between Shannon and WOOdson. gave them
full opportunity to try their hand at that method.
They tried it, but, thanks to the Sharp's rifles,
against the introduction of which into the Territory
such cIam0r has been raised in certain quarters,
they failed. But for those Shsrp's rifles aud
other arms in the hands of the Free State men,
every individual of them would before now have
been swept out Of the Territory; but as the Border
Ruffians, and still more the General Government,
have found out at last that the Free State men are
both able and willing to defend themselves, that
method of operation is not likely to be again re-
serted TO.
The struggle is now reduced to contest, not Of
arms, but of capital and labor. Whether or not
Kansas shall be Free State will depend upon the
fact whether the Free State men shall continue to
maintain that ascendency in numbers and capital
which they already possess. In the matter Of fight
iug and intrusive violence the Missourans had their
turn. The present contest is one in which the ad'
yantsge lies, or may lie, if we will exert ourselves,
wholly with us.
As matters now stand, it is hardly to be imagined
that the existing bogus laws and bogus Legislature
of the Territory can be employed to fix Slavery
upon it, against the determination to the contrary
Of decided majority Of the inhabitants. Kansas
is not yet Free State, but to make it it is ony
necessary that the same efforts should be perse.
veriDgly continued b, which it has hitherto been
saved from the grasp of the Shareholders.
The coming Spring will decide the question
Having failed to drive out the Free.State men by
force the Missourians will doubtless now make an
effort to outvote them, by throwing the next
Spring great body of bona fide immigrants into
the Territory. We. on the other hand, must meet
and outvote them by still greater body of imui.
grants from the Free States. Shall it not be
done Will not our capitalists freely take hold Of
an operation which, st the point at which it has
now arrived, promises pecuniary profits as well as
political triumphs'

The decision rendered yesterday with respect to
the ownership of the Brick Church property We
presume removes the last remaining obstacle to tho
location of our City Post Office on the plat of ground
which forms the golden mean between the contend
ing uptown and downtown interests. aud which
win for generation prove more commodious to the
great mass of our citizens than any other. Surely
those who cling to downtown location must real
ize that the present site is only approached BY
streets too narrow to form fit avenues to the city's
intellectual focus, while those who have struggled
vigorously for Canal street location will feel that
their turn must come next. If POST Office loca.

him. So far as We are informed, the Captain and the
Doctor especially have done manfully, and we trust
they will yet see the full measure Of justice me.ed
