And last, though by no means least, The
new tax bill, allowing deductions from cred

cess of claims over Indebtedness. All oil
these bills, and especially thelast drew forth
able, spirited and lengthy discussion. "a
Aside from these bills the House hastily
disposed of subject which has occupied
altogether too much time, at various pc
riods, and which was constantly thrust in
the way of Legislative business. We refer
now to the Kansas resolutions. Every inch
Of ground was manfully contested, and ev,
cry shade Of opinion expressed. The reso-
lutions, as adopted, were mild an yet firm
We shall have more 10 say of them hereaf'
ter. In the meantime, we inclose them fol
publication. They were all adopted by
large majority, on which party lines were
tightly drawn. All the loco focos voted
against the first resolution, but when they
saw what a position they were placed in, all
but 13 asked leave to change their votes.-

will break out. The other day, while dis
cussing the habeas corpus act, DR.. Jewett,
who is an excellent man, but who has a We
ry weak voice, undertook to read, from the
clerks desk long and dry speech. No
body heard sentence Of it, however. The
members all through the hall were engaged
reading newspapers and conversing, when
all at once Mr.. Hatcher rose and Interrupt
ted Mr.. Jewett, by making a motion to dis
pense with any further reading oftbe speech,
and lay it on the table to be printed. Again,
in the Senate, a day or two ago, the details
of some railroad bill were under discussion
Most of the members had become weary,
and listless, when some amendment was
made requiring railroad companies to have
certain printed notices placed in prominent
places. Instantly a Senator arose, and sale
he begged pardon for not listening attentive
ly. He was not aware that the printing
question was again before the Senate, bu
as it was, he would move to print one.fiftl

But we are growing tedious: We hav,
many things to say relative to our doing
here, which we must pass by for the pres
ent, as we have much else to write about
KANSAS MATTERS.
We see by late papers that the Kahsa
Free State Legislature has been organized
and as yet have experienced no trouble
Among their earliest act was the election Q
A. H. Reeder and ]. H. Lane as U. s. Sen
ators. Although their action is premature
yet it is an exhibition Of their temper, whicl

The Atchison and Stringfellow crew,
seems, have recently changed their tactics
and hereafter will attempt to effect their oh
ject by fraud instead of force. They hay
resolved to cease their border forays, an
resort to other measures. The Presiden
tial election is at hand, and they too we
