One of the most important bills now before
Congress, is the bill 'for the better security OF
life % board vessels propelled wholly or in
pa TT by steam" Three bills having similar
titles were referred to the Committee on
Commerce of the H1use-one, by Mr.. Wash
burpe, of Illinois, having especial reference
70 steamers navigating the lakes and the
rivers; and the others by Messrs Taylor,
of Louisiana, and Scott, Of California, the
latter being based, in measure, upon
the report of tue committee of investlga-
ton in the case Of the terrible disaster
to the steamer Central America, and its
provisions applied chiefly to steamers na'lsa-
ting the ocean. The provisions OF the sever
al bills have, by Recommendation OF the COM
mittee and consent of the parties, been incor-
porated IN one general BILL which has been
favoraby considered by the cummttee, and
reported to the House 10y Mr.. Wa.hburne.

TEMPERANCE MEETINGS IN SALEM.

A series of Temperance meetings were com
menced in the Town Hall in Salem. on Sunday
last and have been continued through the week
The Hall has been thronged every night to its
utmost capacity to listen to the addresses oil
Henry Chance of Alliance, who has long been
known as IA faithful, laborious friend of Temper
ance. The meetings have resulted in the organi,
cation of a Carson League, to which some $40.
900 of stock have been subscribed as q basis Of
taxation, to be placed at the disposal of a board
of Directors for the suppression of the unlawful
sale of Intoxicating drinks in the town. If this
organization shall prove wise and efficient as the
present excitement on the subject seems to de-
mand and promise, we shall be able to learn what
virtue there is in illegal suasion" for the suppress.
sion o: this curse and crime among US. Exemp.
ton from its influence can only be purchased by
unceasing vigilance and labor, and uneonquerable

virtues, we most sincerely pray may prominently
adorn tho Members and Directors Of the Carson

KANSAS ArrAIRs.-The people Of Kansas were
greatly excited, as we'll they may have been or
the receipt Of the Presidents Message. The fol
lowing report Of the action of the Territorial legis
lature is from a late correspondent Of the Cincin
natl Gazette
In the House of Representatives, last night
Mr.. Hanna introduced an Act which, | think, may
justly be termed radical.
Tho preamble sets forth, that neither the Lee
compton Convention, nor Constitution, have any
just autho rity, or shadow Of authority, from the
people Of Kansas.
1t then goes ON to provide, that for the Dictator
to declare, by official proclamation, the Lecompton
Constitution 10 be the Constitution Of the State Of
Kansas, or call upon or commission any persons
to act as officers under it or for any Senator,
Governor, III. Governor, Secretary, Auditor or
Treasurer OF State, or member Of the Legislature
to attempt IN any way to give effect to that Com
stitutiunal Government, or to exercise authority
under 1t. shall be n felony, punishable with death
The Bill was drawn mp by Judge Conway.
The Act brought out n good many violent
speeches. The Presidents Message had lust been
received, and there was a general feeling OF exas.
peration among the Free State men. The Speaker
OF the House (Mr. Deitzler) said if news OF the
passage OF the Locompton Constitution should
arrive here before the adjournment of ,his body,
he didn't know but no should leave tho chair, and
move the appointment of n committee to provide
for hanging tie President.
Many members declared their readiness, if the
Lecompton Constitution should pass, to shoulder
their m%uskets, and fight any body, or any Power,
that should attempt to give vitality to il. If it
came to that, they were ready to resist the Federal
Government to the bitter end never heard as
many revolutionary speeches made in any Law.
renee or Topeka Convention. 1t was agreed near.
.iv unanimously, that the passage of the Act
would be an appropriate dHSwcr to tie Presidents
Message. The Bill passed the House by n vote of
33 to 3. Its passage was followed by tremendous
applause.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION BILL
Finally passed both the House and Council yes.
terday, and only awaits the Governors approval
TO become n law. If he doesnot sign it, it will
be passed over his head. The point agreed upon
for the Convention to meet at is the new cupital of
Minneola. The Convention will meet there the
first day Of its session, but will undoubtedly ad-
journ from there to Lawrence or Topeka.
The election Of delegates takes place on the 4th.
Tuesday of March. The convention meets early
in April. As | have already written YOU, the
number Of delegates is one hundred. 1t is said
that the Governor will approve the Bill but l
don't believe it.
