noise Of the dogs, but when the thieves dis
covered movement in the house they fed;
and on going to the door it was found they
had provided luncheon for the dogs, to sill
their barking, during the intended opera
tons. These thieves are supposed to be from
the city, and their designs are against hen
roosts and clothes lines.

DIsGRAcEFUL.-The Sullivan Democrat
says, that about two years ago the house Of
Col. McClclland in Bloomington, was rob
bed one Sunday, of g., 900 in gold. A neigh
Dor of his, named Williams suddenly became
flush of money, and was arrested on suspi-
cion, and has since been in prison. At the
late term of the Circuit Court in Monroe
county. this case was tried, which resulted
in the conviction of Williams. Some of his
friends were so indignant at the result Of the
trial, that they burned Judge Hanna and
two of the jurymcn in ctiigy: the Judge, be-
cause he charged too strongly against the
prisoner; and the two iurymen, because they
were said by some of the regulators to have
expressed opinions as to the guilt of the &c
cused.

From WAsuISToN.-Lettcrs from. Wash
ington are flied with interesting and i'm
portant reports. 1t is stated that Mr.. Stan
ton has withdrawn his resignation of his of.
fee of Secretary of Kansas, and has deter
mined to adhere to Gov. Walker, and share
his fate, and like him force the Administra-
ton to remove him, if they wish to get rid of
him. Gov. Walker has left Washington and
gone to New York on private business. a
large part of the Southern Delegation had
reached Washington, and their influence in
confirming the Administration in its deter
mination to uphold the proceedings of the
Kansas Covontioc was very manifest. The
Lecompton Constitution is 10 be forced upon
Kansas if it can be got through Congress by
the most stringent party drill. The South
insists upon it, and the Administration ac-
qucsces. Personal rs well as party consid-
erations have tended to prolucel this de-
cision.
The President in his message, has endors-
ed fully and emphatically. from the COM
Increment, the action of the Kansas Con-
vention; and the interviews with Gov. Walk
or have not convinced him that he was
wrong. He regrets exceedingly that Gov
Walker deems it his duty to pursue an
opposite course to him and his Administra-
ton. Bnt he has taken his position, and
sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish
he is determined to weather the storm. He
discusses at considerable length the Kansa.
question in all its bearings, and comes to the
conclusion that in sustaining the action OF
that Convention, he is but carrying out in it
letter and meaning the Kansas and Nebras-
ka bill.
The Kansas difficulties are freely discussed
by mem bers. but there will be no issue made
until after the organization. Then look on,
for q row. 1t is settled that Mr.. Orr, of South
Carolina, is to be Speaker, and Mr.. Allen, Of
Illinois, Clerk OF the House. There is to be
a free scramble for the spoils of the Congress
sional printing, which amounts to a million
and half. The prospects of Mr.. Robinson
of this State, for the Clerkship are entirely
blighted.

The ADMISSION OF TERRITORIES BY Con-
eREss.-There is a significant precedent Of
the refusal of Congress to admit State, under
a constitution which had not been submitted
to the people for notifications; and one that
must have obligatory force in the case of
Kansas. 1t is too, in conformity with the
course recommended by sensible men of both
parties, who advise that Congress reject both
constitutions that have been framed for Kan
sas. and pass an act permitting the people.
to form new one under the direct au hority
of Congress in accordance with the old mode
Of admitting new States. In 1S47 conven-
ton in Wisconsin framed constitution and
presented it to Congress for the admission of
that State, without submitting il for ratifca-
ton to the people. The motive for the pro-
ceeding was the same as actuated the men,
bers of the Kansas Convention; they had in
corporatcd provisions into the instrument
tina: were obnoxious to the people, and which
they feared would defeat it if the ratification
ofthe people was required. Congress admit
ted the State, on the condition, that the consti-
tuition should be submitted to the people and
approved by them. 1t being quite certain
that the first constitution would not be ap-
proved, another convention was held and
another constitution formed which was APP
proved by the popular vote, and the State
came into the Union without further action
on the part of Congress. A like course will
be pursued by Congress the present session
in regard to Kansas. All past proceedings
will be ignored and an act passed authorizing
the people to call convention and frame a
constitution according to their own wishes
and providing for the admission of the Ter
ritory at once into the Union. This is the
only course to settle the difficulty, and on,
that will be supported by the fair men Of al
parties. II the omission to refer the con-
stitution to the people was a good reason to
refuse Wisconsin's admission when there
were no convictions of the people violated, il
will be good cause to reject the Kansas con-
stitutional proceedings.
