FROM WASHINGTON.
THE PRESIDENT AND HOUSE ON KANSAS.


Editorial Correspondence Of The n I. Tribune
WASHINGTON, Jan. "a, 1870.
The late Message on Kansas and the votes in the
House on Saturday respecting Slavery agitauon
and the Nebraska bill, illustrate forcibly the no
tions which practically prevail in our Governnen',
affirming its omnipotence to iayor ana uPnoiu
Slavery and its impotence to withstand even us
,ckpowledped wrongs and aggressions. Call for
action in behalf of Impartial Freedom even where
the right is clear, and we are told that the Federal
Constitution guarantees the claim OF tne save
holders 70 their chattels and that every consdera
ton of justice, humanity and policy must oeha 10
this. Yet the very next moment he who makes
Federal power so omnpotent when invoked in be-
half of Slavery, reduces it to nothing when ap-
peaed TO in resistance Of its wrongs state hights
oy,rbear all other rights but those of the enslavers
The President admits that the general corruption
of the ballot-boxes OF Kansas by the Border Shui-
fans was wrong, and only palliated, not lustihed'
BY the atrocity of sending bona fee emgrants from
Eastern Free States to settle that Territory ana
make Free State Of it. But that Is wrong nc
adds. which Federal authority was utterly pow
erless TO prevent. and is utterly impotent 10 re-
dress. Every well, Mr.. President" respond the
Free.State men, "since the Federal Governmeh
cannot protect US against such enormous and
crushing outrages, we will organize Government
and protect ourselves" "No, Sirs," responds
Pierce; "do that at your peril Though l am
powerless to help you, l have power enough 10
help those who Cypress you. Organize any sort o
government or authority in opposition to that I'M
posed on you Gas have substantially ADMITTEDLY by
the Border Ruffians, and / am down upon you
horse. foot and dragoons-I will proclaim you out
laws and traitors-I will wipe you out OF exist
ence," And thus even the new election winch
the President recommends is avowedly to be just
such farce as past elections carried by the Mis-
souri invaders have been. All the Free-State
triumpbs are ignored, and only those elections in
which the Border Ruffans did just as they pleased
have any favor in the eyes of the President.
So with regard TO the House. 1.-THE Kansas
Nebraska bill was a useless and iactious agita-
ton respecting Slavery, unjust and injurious to
portion of the American People" says the
House-Messrs. Haven, Millward, Etheredge,
Wheeler and Whitney voting Ay. Very good,
gentlemen" continue the Republicans, let us
rebuke this useless and factious agitation let us
redress this admitted and fragrant wrong 80
now exclam Haven & Co.; "that Is Black
Repubcanism, to which we are utterly and for
ever opposed" There can be no rebuke, no re-
dress, for wrongs committed in behalf of Slavery"
is it possible that the American People will
ALWAYS be satisfied with such Messages and such

n0INGs IN CONGRESS.

HOUSE, Jan. 2s.-Mr. Underwood moved that each
Member Of the House be voted for in rotation until
Speaker should be elected, but did not press con-
sideration of the proposition. Mr.. Crawford gave
notice Of resolution to elect by States each State to
have one vote. Mr.. A. X. Marshall thought and pro-
posed resolution to the effect that all the candidates
ought to resign. He thought the Democrats and
Americans might easily unite and elect a new man.
After smart political debate the resolution was with
drawn. joint resolution that if no Speaker be
elected by the 5th Of February Congress adjourn to
the 18th of May laid the table, and the House
proceeded to the loeth ballot Banks had 90; Orr, co.
Fuller, 81; with scattering necessary to choice,
lOe Mr. Whitney offered resolution for the election
of Speaker, leaving the name blank, to be filed by
whomsoever should receive majority of all the votes,
which, after talk, tabled, l53 to AZ, and the
House adjourned.

Tie Express has an article on isms, in which it
enumerates with many damaging epithets andinsnu-
atoms, some true bnt many false-FOurer-ism Veg
etarian-ism, Spriual-ism Abolition-ism and Roman
i'm. 1t forgets to say word about knOw-Nothing-
ism, the youngest and most rickety member of the
family. Perhaps, however, the writer was interrupt
ed beforethe article was finished as we see that The
Express had an indispensable engagement else.
where about that time, for in another column,
under the head of " Beazebub in Glee," that
curnal gives an account Of great jollifi-
"catiOn in PsndemOnium account which
has all the air of having been written by
an eyewitness. IAN the Intervals say" SO
The Express informs u.s. that this jollifcatien
was held TO celebrate the refusal Of the Church
of the Pilgrims at Brooklyn to contribute
any longer to dOughEce Tract Society. But as
the IDfernss have but sad character for veracity,
which is not helped by their selection of The En-
Press an organ, il is fair to presume that the
meeting had some other Object-perhaps the insti-
tuition of KnOw-Nothing lodge in those regions.

In another column will be found cofnmunicas
ton on the subject Of New-York Conveyancing,
which is well worthy the attention of our New-York
readers. There is not State in the Union into
which so many Of the prolixities of the English
lawyers were imported as into this, nor one in
which wholesale reform of our entire legal sys.
TEN is more needed. What little has been done
already in that way is but drop in the bucket.
In this respect many Of our sister States are already
in advance Of us; and, as to money matters, what
We need is, not the introduction of novelty to be
tested at the expense of the public, but merely to
borrow from cur sister States improvements, the
feasibility and benefits Of which have been already
established by experience. The change called for

be would not heed them. and either Withhold %
scattered bis vote for several days thereafter. At
length seeing his lead wss not followed, sstr
another caucus had been held and Mr.. Banks AGAIN
nominated with emphasis he came back to hrs
associates, and has since voted steadily for Mr..
Banks That is the whole case exactly as s1der-
stand II, and appeal TO the records for conhrms-
ton of my statement.
Now, what do these facts imply' Suppose
general of division in a great battle were to pro-
claim 10 the hearing Of the enemy, that he should
hold his position for FIVE minutes longer, after
which he should move to such other position as he
should see fit-what would be thought Of it, Mr.
Ranks was the Anti Nebraska candidate fairly
nominated BY caucus in which Mr.. Brenton par
ticpated. and to whose conclusions he gave Ms
assent. Suppose he had become tired OF voting
for Mr.. Banks or hopeless of his election-was
the floor of the House, in the full hearing OF our
adyersaries, the proper place wherefrom TO pro-
claim that conviction Why not ask his comPat-
riots 70 meet him again in caucus and there sug-
Cest and advocate the prOprie'y OF taking up DOW
candidate.
deeply regret the article in The TRIBUNE o.
Friday. Written in ignorance of Mr.. Brentons
course. as il must have been, it has already won
tor him sympathy and backing from good and
true men. to which l cannot believe him entitled.
I do not see how to vindcate Mr.. Brentons fidelity
in the matter of his bolt but at the expense oil hw
understanding. His eccentric movement was
plainly calculated to defeat, not Mr. Banks merely,
but any AntNebraska candidate Speaker. III
he who has participated in making party nomina-
ton for Speaker may at any moment Doll tna'
nomination, in defiance of his compatriots ana In
the face of the adversary, to that adversarys sls-
nal encouragement and the dsmay of his friends
do not know what the obligations OF good faith
in such matters can be.
After the Fillibusters had said their say, and
Mr.. WADE had very briefly and kindly responded
to Them the l27th vote for Speaker was taken with
this result: Banks, 81; Orr, 81; Fuller, 30 scat
tering. Z. Banks needed seven changes to elect him.
Then the House adjourned. H. q.

The reader will find in another column letter
from Mr.. Greeley in respect to the recent protest
of some of the constituents of Mr.. BrentOn of In
diana, and the remarks Of THE TRIBUNE there
upon. We yesterday gave some explanations on
ahat subject with statement of the facts in de-
Tail, but not differing from Mr.. Greeley's. OF
course If we had been aware that Mr. BrentOn had
returned to the support of the Republican caud'
date, we should not have published the protest or
passed upon Mr.. Brenton any such condemnation.

The Committee on County ofaces OF the Board Of Su-
pervsors met yesterday afternoon and had under con-
sderaon the app cson referred to them recently sent
the Board the Commissioners Of Records asking
further appropriation OF $3.50 o0o - pssue the work
ndexing the titles TO all real estate embraced within
he city and county of New York II was decided by
he committee TO report in favor Of approprsng the
mount named.
The Commissioners of Records consist Of the following
gentlemenl-Messrs. VIM c. Wetmore, Jonathan Mather
Richard Busteed and George p. Nelson, who, 1t will be
emembered were appointed under special act Of the
state Legislature, passed April Is, 1850 The Com
missioners, by this act, delegated with full
20 examine the records, documents, maps and
indces the offices Of the Clerk, Register and Surrogate
the city and county ofNew York, and make thereffom
ompete index Of all the titles the real estate oil the
city and county An appropriation Of $50 600 made
At the time Of the creation Of the commission. Of this
the Commissioners state that there has been expend
ed $40 000 and that $3.50 600 needed TO complete
the work The period within which the examination OF
TITLES extends from the date of the charter OF 1856 up
the present time II will take three years 10 finish the
undertaking, that the work. in fact, will be perfected
up 1860 The entire work when completed will make
SIX thousand volumes. II is expected that special
library will be established depository OF the volumes.
Ths titles, established by the commissioners, are in
tended TO hold supreme in the Courts. II viii be an
immense saving compared with the present labor and
expense of hunting up titles.
