The number of instances given whore
persons have persisted with the cold in the
region Of country west and northwest Of
us the present winter Is wholly without
aparallel. We find the following melan-
choly account In illustration in the La
Crosse Republicans:
ave learn from gentleman residing
near Red Rock or Brownsville, east Of Aus
tin, Minnesota Territory, that twelve per-
sons have persisted in the snow storms this
winter, bctwoon that place and West Un-
Ion. II Is reported that two boys were
getting wood with q yoke Of oxen, when
the drifting snow filed up the track and
blinded their sight, on the return. Believ-
ing tho cattle would 60 home. they fastcn-
cd themselves 70 the sled to prevent fall
lug off when too far frozen to help them
selves on again. The cattle came home,
sure enough, but the brave little drivers
had persisted in each others arms!"--
Some fifteen years ago, man was driving
yoke Of oxen from q particular place
home, in what is now Warren county, in
this State. A driving snow storm came
on, he became bcwildered. lost the direc-
ton and was benumbed with the cold. In
this condition he had the presence Of mind
aud prccaution to tic securely an arm to
each ox's tail, and trusted TO the instinct Of
the brutcs to find their way he was half
dragged many miles, till he found himself
safely conducted to tho door Of his own
cabin badly frozen, but safe in life and

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.
The Senate held secret session to-day,
In which the question of tho removal of
Judge Lecompte from the Chief Justice
ship of Kansas was discussed.
Gen. Cass inquired what had become Of
the nomination Of Mr.. Harrison, TO super
sedc Judge Lecompte as Chief Justice OF
Kansas, which was sent in to the Senate
by tho President some time ago.
Mr.. Toombs, as Chairman Of that COM
mittee, replied that the committee had not
yet decided upon what report thoy should
make in relation to It.
Mr.. Cass rejoined with considerable Fee
ling that 1t was quite time some action
should be taken upon this subject
Mr.. Toombs responded that for himself,
as far as he was concerned, he was ready
to report against it. He thought 1t was an
arbitrary assumption Of authority for the
President TO attempt to remove member
of the Judiciary merely because his dccis-
ion happened to DO contrary to his (the
Prcsidcnt's) wishes. The Judiciary sho'd
feel, when giving their decisions, that their
place did not depend upon their giving an
opinion coincid:ng with the views Of the
Executive. The act Of the President
was such an exercise of power as should be
checked by the Senate.
Mr.. Cass replied that however the cass

LEconrTox, Jan. 10, 1851.
The bogus Legislature Of Kansas d
now in session at Lcoompton. but has thus
far done nothing Of any public importanee.
Gov. oeary.s Message was daily trans
mitted. Among other recommendations,
the Governor advises the Legislature 10
repeal some Of the more obnoxious laws
Of the infamous code imported from Mis-
sour. and intensified by the Border Rum
an Legislature Of 1855. Nevertheless, he
fully recognizes the authority Of the bo-
gus Legislature, and recommends them 10
take steps for The formation Of State
Constitution. He also entirely sustains
the Kansas-N Nebraska bill; and, upon the
whole. appears to be decidedly on the Pro-
Slavery side.
/ There l. a full attendance In both Hous-
es,and the members are as warmly Pro-sla-
very as ever, and evidently hopefully look
ing lor the final legal establishment Of sla-
very in the Territory.
The Pro-SIavery Territorial Convention
is still in session, but their proceedings are
not attracting any great share Of public at
tention. Most Of their business IL done
In secret. Preparations are making 10 car
ry tho Constitutional Elections for Slavery.

Letter From indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 30, '57.
Mr.. Editor:--Consderable excitement
prevailed In the Senate to-day, produced
by reference TO the elections; various rcso.
utions were offered. some touching tho
election Of Senators alone, separating Il
from tho election Of minor officers, one re-
ating to tho Agent of State discmbaring
II from all other Offices, and ono also for
other Offices, disconneoting them from the
Senatorial question. All these several
propositions having been laid Oh tho table
by strict party vote, resolution was in
troducod and passed after considerable dis.
cussion, in which Mcssrs. Wallace, Drew,
Murray, Gooding and March participated.
An angry discussion between Drew and
Murray cnsucd, arising out of an express
ion used by Murray, In which no declared
that had he been IN the Senate at tho last
session, che would have regarded himself
apcuured scoundrel." Drew, being very
sensitive, was aroused to a high pitch Of
anger. and rclorted In no very pleasant
terms comparing Murray's declaration with
his present position on similar maltor.--
Notwithstanding all opposition, the resolu-
was passed, but II can have no effect, rs any
resolution introduced by any Senator must
have some action, let that action bc what
II may.
This afternoon. tho Senate Is acting up
on semi-resolution, scmi-protcst rcpudia-
