The House Of Representatives seems to
be in earnest in resorting TO practical revo-
luton. On the bill making appropriations
for the army, in Committee OF the whole, an
amendmet was adopted providing that oil
the acts of the KuuSas Legislature are de-
elared null and void. If this amendment
is adopted in the House, the army bill will
60 to the Senate, when the amendment
will be stricken out. Upon the House
insisting, the army bill will fail. 1t is un-
derStoOd that the same process will he re-
sorted to for the defeat Of the other appro-
prlation bills. This would he practical rev.
olutiou, and the consequence so disastrous
that we will not assume that black repuOll'
canism is prepared to persist III such mad
course, and therefore we await the result
before indulging in further comments
The Committee Of Elections recognised
the revolutionary doctrine that the laws OF
Kansas are invalid, and for that reason
reported that General Whitfield was not
legally elected delegate from Kansas. They
also report that Governor Reeder is the
legal delegate, although the committee SEM
to Kansas say that be was chosen without
any legal authority for the election. Mr,
Stephens made a minority report. Such
