Kansas in Congress.

SENATE, juno 30. Mr.. Douglas made n
report on Kansas affairs. The report pro.
poses a now bill, providing for the appoint.
tnent OF live commissioners to be selected from
different sections Of the Union, to take a CEN
sus and provide for a fair election of delegates
to form a State Constitution.
House, June 80. Mr.. Grow closed the
Kansas debate with a speech in favor Of her
admission under her free Constitution. Mr..
Dunn moved as an amendment, % recommit
with instructions to add tho restoration of
Missouri Com promise. This was carriod hv
seven majority but a final vote to rc,o,nmit
failed, lOl ayes, 100 nays. \ motion To Ia,
on the table was then made and lost by one
majority. The main question, "Shall the bill
pass - was then put, and Kansas with a free
Constitution was rejected by ono maiority.-
MIR. Fillmore S adherents, from New York and
other states, voted against the bill.
HorsL, July !. Mr.. Barclay, of r~ennsyl-
vania, moved n reconsideration of the vote bv
which the Kansas bill was rejected. After
considerable debate, Mr.. Houston, of Alaba
ma, moved to lay the motion to reconsider on
tle table, but his motion was superseded by
the presentation of the majority rcport of N.
Kansas Investigating Committee, a portion
of which was read and the House adjourned.
The startling facts arrayed in the report will,
it is believed, do service for Kansas among
the wavering,-and confident hopes are ez-
pressed that the bill may yet pass the House.
SENATE, July |. Mr.. Collamer submitted
a minority report from the Committee on
Territories, urging the immediate admission
of Kansas as a State.
