The KANSAS contested election has been
the !subject-matter of dcl'hte in the House
ever since Its organization. The Commit
tee on elections made report asking for
authority to send for persons and papers.
which was sstrenuonsly opposed. A substi-
t"te, authorizing the appointment of Il spe-
cial investigating committee of three TO go
to Kansas. and look into the case " as final
ly adopted, and SHERMAN, of Ohio, OLIVER,
of Missouri, aud Howard, of Michigan,
have been appointed. Their return from
Kansas with their report will bc looked to
with much interest.
The Senate has also been engaged for
some time in talking over this Kansas affair.
MIR. DOUGLASS recently read report pro-
viding for the admission of Kansas rs q
State whenever she shall have the requisite
population. 1t is said to be a most mastery
review Of the question.
An interesting and rather exciting debate
sprung up, few days since, between Mr.
DOUGLASS and his colleague, Mr.. TRUM
BULL. The latter is Of the deep Freesoi
stripe, a"d claims to represent more truly
than Mr.. DOUGLASS the sentiment Of ILL.,
nois. DOUGLASS proposed to him that they
should both resign now, and submit their
reelection to the next Legislature, and thus
determine who is the representative of their
State. But TRuMnuLL had not quite faitl
enough in his own position to accept til.
| banter.
We notice little else of interest in Con
grcssional proceedings.

her late happy days but few months. And
though the sister was afterwards happily
married, it is said that, from the date Of her
brothers disgraceful end, continual cloud
of melancholy rested upon her mind during
the remainder Of her life. She has sincr
pussed into that land where kindred souls
arc destined to meet again and these alu-
sions to her sad family history will give her
no pain.
The secret of Carleton's lapse from virtue
is soon told {; and the lesson is one that cv-
cry youth, who considers himself secure
from temptation, should heed and carefully
remember. The devil never boldly enters
the citadel of rectitudc, at the outset. He
first walks around, and passes by; then
holds parlry, and "makcs the worse ap-
pear the better reason :" and ends by gain.
ing permission TO walk in just once prom
ising thcnccfortL 10 cease his solicitations,
and keep alouf. But once admitted. he
goes artfully to work to destroy all our de-
fences, and before we are aware Of it, he is a
permanent occupant Of the castle.
Such was undoubtedly Carletnn's expert
cnce. lie was not hardened sinner. lie
was truly man Of generous and noble i'm
pulses But little transgressions Of the stern
law Of conscience had in his hoyloml weak
cncd his moral f"rce, and prepared him for
more serious offences. Then, in an unguard-
ed hour, he formed an attachment for Il fas-
cns'ing, but gay ami heartless woman, un-
der whose influences his soul fell from the
truth aud purity Of manhood. 1t was her
hand which indirectly administered the
deadly drug that destroyed his life. To
NEE, her necessities for dress and dissipa-
tions, he resortcd to the faro hank. AL.
though fortunate at first, he afterwards lost
extensively, and became peruniarily embar.
rassed. He borrowed money, which he was
unable to return. Only one course seemed
open TO him, to save Ills honor in the public
eye. a, first, he pur|oincd cautiously and
abstemiously y from the mails, hoping, nc
doubt, that success at the faro hank would
swell those unlawful gains, and cancel the
necessity fur further deprcdations.
But let us not pursue the sad topic. The
end VIC have seen, and we will hasten tc
turn the last leaf Of this melancholy
chapter.

The Foreign News.

There is little that is salient in the news
by the Persia. 1t is said on all sides that
the Peace Conference is going on f;.vorablv :;
but as no one is able to give even. spcrio,ls
hint Of what it has done or is doing. the as
surance is Of no value. In the mean time
France and England are increasing their
armamcn;s aud sending them forward to
favorable points for commencing the third
campaign. This may be bravado to influ-
ence the negotiations, or it may be from a
distrust Of their rcsults,-Perhapsa mixture
| of both.
The English newspapers express the most
perfect ASSURANCE OF peace. But there is :,

Western nations are beginning to under
stand what tho wise Nicholas meant when he
said that Turkey is sick man. France
is in possession Of Constantinoplc, and will
not he at liberty to leave it till there is as
surance that the sick man is able t., take
charge Of his own affairs. The British
Government, as consulting physician, has
dr'nan1.::"! possession Of certain points in the
Empire, by way % making sure that the
medicines administered during the last two
Years shall be secure Of their efforts, and
that French practice shall not get all the
credit OF the cure. The readers of Gil

fessional collision.
The truth is, that Empire whirh ,lo Allies

their shoulders under its walls. They have
taken away the small remains Of nakive ad.

that they do not acknowledge it simply he.
