The Army bill on the table, that this bill be laid

Mr. WELLER asked him to withdraw that motion
10 allow bn to make few remarks.
kr. HUNTER acquicsced
Mr.. WELLER stated that he had introduced bis
bill without consul alton with any Of bis political
associates and he regretted very much that he was
not sustained by them in biz desire to adopt conclla
tory course towards the House While he enertai ned
great regard for their opnlons he WAS compelled to
differ with them 10 relation to this matter. He was
sctuated by desire 10 wiUe out of the statute book
of one Of the TIE teres laws which, in his Judgment
were clearly UNCONSTITUTIONAL and a. the same time,
as Chairman Of the Committee on Military Affairs, was
Ious 70 DO all in his power 10 auhta'e the passage
Of the Army AID Aporopriaton bill. H. would compromise
whenever it could be done without the sacrlhce OF
principle, but when he had brought for ward h bill,
actuated by these motives, nc was not met by spirit
Of Cancellation or compromise upon the other side o.
the chamber. The senator from Massachusetts, pro
ptted an amendment to the bill which be lWisOn)

the S, nate wi thout he lWeler) politically afh =

nate difficulty between the two houses WAS thus met
with opposition from own party friends, and was
met by the other side OF the chamber with attempts
70 load it down with obnoxious ndments 80 as to
prevent its passage he had no further compromise TO
offer He hau 10 exsspeIated feelings against the
House but the matter had now become contest OF

The Senate then proceeded to consider the Army
Mr.. HUNTER stated that this bill was the bill upon
which the Houses disagreed al the adjournment of
the last session. There had been conferences upon it
which were ssfu but although the last vote of
the House TO adhere TO their disagreement to the
Senate amendment he was willing to give to the House
as many chances t. vote upon this question az they
could have and he therefore, moved the Senate insist
and ak another conference lie had no doubt Of his
parliamentary right TO make this notion lie desired
10 take away all ground Of objection that the Senate
had not shown proper degree OF courtesy TO-
ward the House. TINS would give the House two
more opportunities to vote upon the question. When
the bill should go back the House, if there should be
majority in that body in favor OF passing the Dill ID
the uhua form, they would have a. opportunity ore,
cede or if smother Committee of Conference should
be appointed and be unab to agree when that fact
should be reported TO the House, there would still be
chance to take another vote upon ieceaiog. Thus
they would have ampe opportunity to reconsider what
lie toud not help regarding as an unwlse and hasty
deteinnn at upon their part 10 persist IN PROPOSE
top 10 which the Senate could never agree.
Mr. HALL Of Tenn said he should vote for the
motion ci Mr. Hunter win great pleasure; but he
rose principally for the purpose OF correcting an
troneous Iinpression which seemed to have prevailed
in some quarters with reference to hs remarks on
former occasion with regard 10 this oil. IL had oeen
thought that he Was wiling to recede; but ne ex-
pressed no such opinion, although he earnestly con-
fenced that the Senate Ough TO lsist and ask Com
mttee of Conference, instead of sdherng lie took
this opportunity 70 ask Mr. Ca:s whe.her ne unoer-
,tooo from those letters which he had causeL to be
Ieac TINS morning there were al this time no dstur'
bar ces i, Kansas.
Mir. CA,S replied that they were the latest official
returns that had been received at the War Depart,
uept and tney shoSeu what had been the conduct OF
the uirtay there. a. 10 the subsequent telegraphc
reports there might be some fouuoation fe them al
though il was probable that the actulI coholn'n Vi
things wa eXaggera ed. 800.
MI BELL. SAID twice before he he'd been led to
suppose ell the difficulties w.le Terminated, from lhior
mat,n derived from the Executive Departments ana
from eff eis in nmand IN kaisas, that there wee
smple .ofces there to suppress all clsorher. Upon
both those occ4iois however, 1t turned out tnat ne
had been deceived, and he oid not wish 70 De de-
ceiyed again. II difficulties stll exist there as ne
wss afrsld was the case, lie hoped thst measures
would be taken to rst0re tranquility, ano no ha leu

Mr.. CLAYTON was glad to hear the motion of the
Senator flVn Virginia, Dut he thought IL wono nave
been much better 10 start right ano pursue strasht
forward courre than to go wrong and have 10 Dack
ont. The majority Of the Senate were wrong the
other cay, when they undertook to adhere to t1en
disagreement bill precisely like this, and he hoped
they won now agree 10 another COMMITTEE OF Coh-
terence He proceeded to comment with much &C.
y,rity on what he termed the Infamous laws OF the
Kar sac Legislature saying they shoud De repesieo
b.fore the adjournment of Congress- and II the senate
refuse TO take h,t step the responsibility must rest
upon them One of these laws sentenced man

This was as yranLical an act as was ever oy
tie Stusrts, Tndors, or Plantagenvts OF England.
These laws also require test oahs 10 support the rusl-
tive Slave law, AID there were hundreds OF hones1
men IN the Union who, while they never lhtenueu 10
resst that law would never take an oah 10 support
IT, Such laws these he characterized as Infamous
and oppressive, and there were Others as osd a. a,
N, &C. and uness the Committee Of Conference should
90 the whole length and repeal these abomnabe
laws the Responsibility of refusing will res upon the
Senate az wei as the House.
Mr.WILSON read extracts from Tie Congressional
l0be Of debates 10 former years upon appropriation
bills, TO show that the course OF the House IN In
stIpg the KaDsa prOvlso was neither unprecedented
