NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
i ztgl, WAsHnsToa, July o.
SENATE.-Air. Johnston, from committee On
Printing, reported in favor of the motion toprint
900, 600 extra copies Of the Kansas bill as pass
cd By the Senate, but adversely to the motion
to print the amendments proposed and the ayes
and nays thereon.
Mr.. Trumbull thought if the Senate was go
ling to send this forth as electioneering docu-
Imcnt, the action taken on the various amend
ments ought to be with it to present fair view
lof the subject q -
Mr. Weller said he wished thG report Of the
committee agreed with the positions held by, the
! majority of the Senate; they had been much
,Imisrepresented and desired Che public mind to
be set Alright
H. IMr!SWilson was willing to send into the c0un-
itry as many copies of the bill as the majority
desired He regarded the bill as intended to
carry on the work which the border Tuftians of
Missouri commenced in March, '55. The peo-
pie of the country 50 understood it-why not !?
This bill was brought in IN the early part of the
present session. before Kansas was conquered.
Since that time Kansas has becn twice or
thrice invaded houses burned ccfties sacked and
some free State men murdered, while others
were driven. out of the territory, and those on
! their way thither arrested, disarmed and sent
back to their homes. In the face of facts pro-
duced by the Kansas Investigation committee,
propositions were brought forward att this time
taking positions precisely contrary to those as
/ sumed six months ago holdingIou an appear
ance of fairness and justice, but Keeping the
word of promise to the ear and breaking it by
/ hope.
Mr.. Wade took grounds similar to those of
4 Wilson, and was willing to scatterth the bill broad
cast over the country, for it showed that the
doctrine of popular sovereignty was renowned
\ and entirely given up by the Democratic party.
The bin also virtually admitted that the terrific
rial legislature was fraud; for it legislated
al

Mr. Hale opposed the bill, drawing vivid
picture of burning dwellings,, mourning widows
devastation and suffering to the removal of the
Eo!d land mark by the repeal of the Missouri re-
strictiou, ss5, s. ~ - -
Mr. Fcssenden argued that the design to re-
-Epeal the Missouri Compromise was to make
Kansas slave State. e 2 "
\ Mr.. Toombs denied that the measure intro
lduced by him had any other object than appear
Jed on its face. It was to protect the 1nhablt-
4 ants of Kansas and restore peace. It was not
Ibis design to make it a SlavesState unless the
inhabitants should so desire. . 9
Mr.. Crittcndcn indicated the consistency of
his course on theKansas bill. za.elss
| Mr.. Wilson denied that he had ever ,misrep-
resented the bill. The adoption of that bill,
would close the question and make Kansas slave
holding State, He had never uttered a senti-
\ ment calculated to excite violence. They only
desire peace, order, and security and protection
intheir rights. 1t was not true that the Emf
tgrant Aid Society, caused the troubles. That
was apeaceful and lawful organization, and had
/ spent $4,000 in erecting hotels and saw mills
\ in Kansas. He had heard so much about chiv-
airy, that with him it was another name for,
scoundrelism. Fri
During the debate Biglersin reply to illusions

blood in his veins he would let it out" lfBu-

bled to death, for he was Democrat all over
Bigler insisted that Wilson rnisreprcsented the

After further debate the motion to print was
adopted and the Senate adjourned at 9eo'clock.

report of the Select Committee relative TO the
Brooks assault upon Sumner which concludes
with resolutions to cxpel. Brooks and expressing

Mr.. Cobb of Ga moved substitute, declars
ing that the House has no jurisdiction over the
subject, and therefore deem it unfit to express
an opinion thereon.
| Mr. Campbell of o., said the resolutions were
Iprcdicated on the complaint to the Houseby the
Senate, charging that the privileges of the Sen
ate had been violated by member of this body
in his assault upon the Senator from Massachu-
sets The testimony on the Subjects full; the
facts, as stated in the minority report are not
controyerted by the minority, that violent as

Ito Justify it He thought the argument Of the
minority committee took the proper ground,
and commended that no breach of privilege had

Summers speech as its character deserved, he
would have to adopt a collection Of coarse and
offensive expressions; no man has a right to in
