Tho Issue on inc army plll'
A detailed account Of the several moves
which were made on the Army appropriation
bill during the extra session is not Imp1r-
tant. Whether the votes were given on tile old
bill or on q new BILL to insist, to reccde, TO ad-
here, or to concur, on any bill or amendment,

constitute a Legislative body in Kansas, and
that this body Of usurpers had proceeded to
deprive all the inhabitants Of the Territory
who were not ready to aid IN making Kansas
