Washington Items.

MIR. DOUGLAS introduced, from tho
Committee on Territories, a new bill
for the relief Of Kansas. 1t provides
for the appointment by the President
of five Commissioners, whose duty it
shall be to take a census Of all the le-
gal voters. Which list is to be printed
and published, and no man shall vote
unle IS his name appear OH the list. The
election to be held on the day Of the
Presidential election, and the conven>
ton to assemble on the first Monday of
December next, to decide whether it
is expedient to apply for admission as
a state, and if so, to form a constitu-
ton and then be admitted into the
Union. The bill provides for liberty
Of speech and the ballot box, and no
test oaths. Every mar 81 years old
and three months in the territory may
vote.
Mr.. CoLLAMER, from the same Com
mittce. submitted a minority report,
which will be published in our next.
The bill to admit Kansas under
the Topeka Constitution was defeated
in the House, but on reconsideration,
was passed by two majority. The fail
ure of the bill and its subsequent re-
vival created an intense excitement
among the members.
Mr.. MORRILL,, one Of our reprcsen-
tatives in Washington, last week made
his maiden speech on the subject Of
the admission of Kansas. 1t contains
SOM fine hits, and will be we'll re,
ccived by his constituency.
MIR. SUMNER has had a relapse.
and it is doubtful whether he will be
able to resume his seat this session.
1t is not true. as reported, that the
trial Of Brooks was postponed at his
request. He says be is not the pros
ecutor.
The report of the Kansas Inves-
tigatlng Committee was made by Mr..
HOWARD, and is a temperate, clear,
able and business-li like document. 1t
is so voluminous that our publication
of it is out Of the question. Below
we give an epitome Of it,as made by
the Committee themselves. 1t fully
confirms al the stories of the Missouri
invasion of the ballot boxes, and shows
that the borderers of that state, and
not the actual settlers in Kansas
were the electors.

TIE GREAT WEsT.-Ilenry Howe
Of Cincinnati, author of Historical
Collections of Virginia and Ohio, has
published a large octave volume with
numerous engravings, entitled the
Great West. This is a book of great
interest to all, as all are eager to
know more of that land to which so
many of our relatives and friends
have been drifting these many years.
This work furnishes a key to all parts
of the great west-hence it is adapted

DocuMENrs.-We are indebted to
the courtesy of Senator Foor for Con-
gressional Documents, amongst them
the " Map of Central America" on
a large scale, to exhibit the points
and relations of that interesting coun-
try. Our geography is becoming
more and more liberal every day, and
in a few years our people will be able
to take an intelligent survey of whats
ever it is desirable and safe for US to
acquire.
