SssArf-Hunterre reported the bill making
appropriations for other works of defence
and to repair barracks and quarters.
The bill establishing the collection dis
trcts of the U. s. was passed.
HousR-Mr. Hickman from committee
on elections made report presenting the
reasons for renewing their demands tor au-
thority to send for persons and papers in
the Kansas contested election. 1t repre-
sents that the Legislature which passed the
election laws and made the provisions on
which Whitfield was chosen. was imposed
upon by foreign invasion, who seized up
On the Government and have exercised 1t
everywhere since, and that the people there
are in subjugaled state.
The following questions were then dis
cussed at length: LIST. The necessity OF
having all investigation oil the facts in dis

Reeder issuing certificates OF election toa

the facts can be had by satisfactory deposi.
lions. Upon the first question it is urged
that the state of affairs in Kansas has ex.

different portions of the Union have consid-

and governs it by the strong hand that this
nuestion influences the existence OF SELL
government and cannot be settled by gro

tends that the people of a Territory cannot

On the Sd point il is argued that the at.

AS the President regards the presence Of
