 Congress has been in session week and done nothing. In the House on the first day of the session, upon the presentation of the ere dentials of the delegate elect from Kansas. Gen. Whitfield, Grow, of Pennsylvania, black re- publican, objected to his taking his seat, and upon test vote he was rejected by a majority of seven. This was owing to the absence of some twenty odd members favorable to his ad- mission. Upon the announcement of the re- suit of this vote Grow moved its reconsdera- tion, and that the motion to reconsider be laid on the table. The black republicans refused to postpone the question until one week in order to give ahsentees time to arrive, and the demo- crats |" staved of' the previous question by motions to adj ourn, calls of the House, etc, until Friday, when a vote was taken and Grows motion to lay on the table was voted down. The whole question was then by unanimous con- sent postponed until next Tuesday. This
 
 the country has made in repudiating black re- publcanism in the recent election, and the ex. treme length to which northern fanaticism is ready to go. h this instance the delegate boIds his certificate of election from the Governor of the Territory, and 10 one else claims or con- tests the seat, still los members of the House vote that he shall not be admitted The pre- sent indications are that he will be admitted.
 From the temper of the House. or at least. the black republican portion of it, as regards the public interests we cannot, expect anything from this session of Congress. About thirty i've of the black republican members were de- feated in the recent elections by good sound national democrats, and as their political exis tence Is about to close, they are ready to vent ther spleen by opposition to all measures pro- posed by the democracy, at the same time they are willing to vote for any amount of private claims 10 dsplete the treasury.
 Gov. Conway's lucid and business like mes- sage in its exposition of the financial condition and prospects of the State meets with the uni 'eiodl ldNoi OubsIue or the '>Jate, and adds to his well deserved reputation as an able and fear less executive officer. Should the Legislature meet his views in the proper spirit and carry out his recommendations, in few years the credit of the State will be entirely restored. = He has at least demonstrated during his admin istration that by proper and efficient measures much can be done which had before been deem. ed impossible.
 Gen. Geo. w. Clarke, Indian agent, in Kan sas has been removed, and Winston, of Virgin Ia, appointed in his stead. The cause of bis removal, 1 learn, was alleged interference in the Kansas war, as he was in command of the southern division of the ro-slavery forces.
