CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS

In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to
press, Mr.. Foster delivered an elaborate
speech upon the Kansas question. At the
conclusion of which Mr.. Benja min, taking the
floor, expressed his qualification at the able
and dignifed manner and matter of the speech
of Mr.. F.
The Kansas State bill and all pending
propositions amendatory thereto were then
committed to the Territories committee; and
they adjourned.
In the House, the bill reported from the
Territories Committee for the admission of
Kansas as State under the Topeka-made
constitution, was taken up. Mr.. Grow moving
its recommitment to the Territories Commit
tee, advocated its prompt enactment as mea-
sure of pacifcation, &c.
Mr.. Smith, of Tenn replied at some length
to the speech Of Mr.. g., defending the course
of the President upon the Kansas question,
and that OF the opponents Of abolitionism in
the Territory
Mr.. Stephens gave notice of his intention to
propose substitute for that bill, and to ad-
dress the House on that subject
Mr.. Richardson also expressed his purpose
Of speaking to the bill.
Mr. Dunn advocated committing it to the
Committee of the Whole ON the state of the
Union.
Mr. Grow opposed that suggestion.
The House then went into committee, (Mr
Letter in the chair,) wherein various terrific
rial bills were considered. On rising, the bill
for the construction of q penitentlary in Ne
brasks was passed ere they adjourned.

The Vice Presidential Mystery Explained
L; has been somewhat of a mystery to ac-
count for the Republicans and the "Half.
Breeds" nominating so many Vice Presidents,
with Fremont as their sole candidate for Pres.
ident. We are now able to solve this mystery.
1t was ascertainsd, by the most profound in
vestigations Of the great Eastern explorers,
who were in communication with the recent
Philadelphia and New York conventions, that
the dignity Of bashaws is regulated by the
the number of tails exhibited on their stand
ards-a bashaw of two tails ranking very
high. Taking the hint from these travellers
revelations, the effort was made in these con-
ventions to establish the dignity of Fremont
at very high point, not by his own quali6-
cations and merits, but by giving him John
stOn and Dayton as Vice Presidential tails
This, We think, explains the whole mystery
A Very Transparent Subterfuge. The
Charleston Is. c. Standard having called
Mr.. Summers brother, who, in trading in ne
groes in Charleston, separated husband from
his wife and children for the greater profit he
might thus make on his Giraffe in human
chattels," Abner, instead of Albert, the New
York Tribune essays to deny the whole ac-
count. We are really amazed at the GOODNESS
with which the Tribune thus seeks to hide
the truth in this matter, which can be verified
oy afhdavits from hundreds of the most re-
spectacle citizens Of Charleston, where its
'ofuiahes' gave rise to great indignation at
the the time.
