KANSAS PROSPECTS.
From Our Special Correspondent 49,,
WASHINGTON, Friday, Aug. ], 1856.
The times are pregnant with significant events.
The Administration cannot withstand the pressure
of public opinion. II is giving way petore tae
scorn and contempt Of On indignant people First
Souatter Sovereignty is abandoned; second, the
Administration annuls the infamous Territorial
,sws of Kansas; third, the President remOyes
Shannon; fourth, he appoints Col. Gesry Of Pa.
,eso is recommended by Coz. Reedr; fifth, Toombs
votes against confirming him; sixth, in reply tss
question from Gen. Wilson why Shannon Was re.
moved, an Administration Senator is reported to
reply: "Ws hare found him, Sir, to be more than yos
prored him last February. He is a seoundrel, Sir,
id scoandrel"
In addition to the above, it is now reported that
the President is ready TO strike blow at another
of his Border Ruffian nstruments-Judge Le-
compte. The President has expressed his dislike
of Lecompte's infamous course very freely OF late,
and has determined that he Leeompte) shall
never try the state prisoners under charge of trea
sOn in Kansas; and TO this end the President will
either order not pros. to be entered IN their case
Il
PENNSYLVANIA, by bill which will be introduced in
the Senate by Senator Bigler of Pa, which will
be piloted through the House by member OF tho
Administration party.
Again. | learn that the Senate proposes to take
Dunn's bill and strike out the restoration Of the Ms.
souri Compromise, and pass 1t! Such audacity the
House would not submit to. 1t was bad enough
for the majority of the House to swallow the Fugi'
tive Slave Law coated with the sugar Of the
restoration of the Missouri Compromise; but to
take the pill without the sugar is more than the
House will do. l have heard il stated, BY very
good authority, that if serious objection is made
in the House, the recognition OF the Fugitive
Slave Law will also be stricken out In that
event. think the House will concur in the Senate
amendments. These are changing times, and
something may turn up to destroy that programme;
but that this is the present arrangement, am con-
ident.
What ia TO happen next1 Who knows Ia this
wonderful change in Mr.. Pierce since the Clncn-
natl Convention, to be attributed to selfish desire
on his part to ruin Mr. Buchanan in the South
Or is it the result of a pressure of Northern Bu-
chaneers to save the old gentleman of Wheat.

WASHINGTON Friday, Aug. |, 1856,
The Kansas Election case was the first business
Gov. Reeder's able argument was concluded By
the Clerk, when the proceedings were interrupted
by Mr. Boyce of South Carolina, who announced
the presence Of Preston s. Brooks with creden-
tials of memberskp from that State, having been
reelected, and requested that the oath Of Office be
administered to MIN by the Speaker Mr. Brooks
walked forward to the Speakers desk, aud took
the oath OF Office
Mr.. WHITFIELD, sitting delegate from Kansas,
then proceeded to read lengthy written speech.
taking the ground that he was legally elected, and
that there was no invasion of Kansas that destroyed
the legality of his vote. His address was dry and
received very little attention from the House.
MI WAsHBURNE of Maine, closed the discus.
sion in an able speech, c0nfuing himself, unlike
the speakers on the other sde to the real question
at issue. He showed great familiarity with the
subject and warded off the blows of Stephens of
Georgia, and Savage of Tennessee, who frequently
interrupted him, with great skill and ingenuity
On the conclusion Of Mr.. Washburnes speech
motion WAS made TO adjourn, aud was negatiyed by
q yea and nay vote of 8 to 1876.
The question then recurred on the following reso
luton:
Re.osd That John W. Whitfield not entitled his ,s.
In this House, Delegate from Kansas.

luton was adopted by vote of ITO to 92, as fol.
