The Senate &C. day voted to adjourn TO July 18th.
and the House will probably CONCUR, but not till
after acting decisively on Kansas affairs The heat
il intente and Members are anxious to get away.
Mr.. Haven OF Buffalo to-day deployed against
Free Kansas, but very sdroitly. He will oppose
anv action on the subject till the testimony taken
b, the Investigating Committee is before the House,
when he will be guided by it in voting for or against
the alleged grievances Of the F'ree-State men In
Kansas. But he rather betrayed than avowed tna1
he will vote against its present admission, anyhow.
Mr.. Dunn evnced intense hostility to the admission
of Kansas under the Free-Sa Constitution. Mr.
Whitney gave notice of substitute for the Com
mittee's Bill, which virtually surrenders Kansas
hound hand and foot, to the Border Humans.
There will be several more such. The Pro- Slavery
politicians are alarmed at the rising Of the masses
for Fremont, and devisipg projects 70 stop tne
swellipg tide. Douglass Bill is abandoned, and
Something with the claws better furred is to be
reported in the Senute en- Monday and rdsoed
through by main strength. A coalition OF bu'
cbansn and Fillmore men will be attempted 10 the
House. probably under the lead OF Mr. Dunn. 1

Morrill, of Vermont, to. day reported bill TO pro-
hibt and punish polysamy in the Territories awld

relating to the Territories. Several passed the
