Correspondence Of The Evening Pos'.
WAsHING1os, March %, 1853.
The Select Investigating Committee of the House,
on the Tariff Fraud will probably he ready to report
The first of the present week. The Investigation, it is
said VII entirely e1Orerato Congrees, not oiogc
member OF that body being implicated.
The statements which have recently Appeared in
the Administration papers, intmating that the lead
ers of the Free-Stete patty in Kansas of whom
are row in this ciysIe in favor Of admitting Kan
sas with the Iecompton Constitution are falsehoods
coroOcted to induce Ani-Lecompton Democrats TO
vote for the Calhoun swin6e.' Some of these state
ments have pointed at Gov. Charles Robinson. That
gentleman is in this city using his utmost exer-
lions to defeat LecOmptOn. When be left Lawrence
for Washington similar reports were circulated there,
aud were senced 10y peremptcry denial In the Law
renee HCr0ld Of Freedom.
! am authorized by Gov. Robinson to say that it s
his desire and the wish Of those whom he represen
in Kansas, that the Lecompton Constitution may be
defeated ard that he shall work INCREASINGLY to that
erd net only to defeat it here, but if Congress i'm
posed il upon the people TO destroy 1t and all VINO
recognise It in Kansas.

WAsuSGION, Saturday, March q, 1888.
Every one speouates upon the result in the House.
Mr. Rvess own opirion is as good as that OF any one,
ard he thinks that the Senate bill will pass the House.
IL certain other official quarter the same opinion Is
tive assurances from certain Northern Democrats, who
are row generally reokoned as Anti. Lecompton.
The AIt!-Lecompton statement Of the probable vote
gives 100 TO that vote, but includes the whole six
South Americans, ard Mr.. Clark of n. T., and those
other Democrats who are more likely, on FINAL vote,
to 90 the other way. Taking only four votes from
the 120 the majority will be thrown on the other SIDE,
and the final vote would be Yeas liz, Nays llO. me
An,-Leconpton men have not allowed for the effect
which hes been produced SEINE Of the hestating
Democrats by the Senate amendment, declaring the
night Of the people of Kansas to alter their Consttu-
tuton when they please; and Of the decision OF Mr.
Calhoun upon election returns from lIeavenwofh
County giving two-thirds Of the State legislation OF
Kansas to the Free State party.
Whatever were the doubts of come OF these Demo
Gratis prior to these decisions, they mus be very much
diminished now They objected that the hs0ds OF the
majority of the people tied by the prohibtory
clause in the SCHEDULE and that, besides, they had
be fIauduently betrayed into the power of vim
dictive and irresponsible minority Neither OF these
objections can be urged with any degree of fair
ness. 49,
Tie South Americans have offered to propo,e Mr..
Crittenden amendment, by which Kansas will be ad-
mitted as a State, by the Presidents proclamation,
Immediately upon evidence furnished to him that a
State Constitution has been submitted to the people
and by them adopted
As thee or four Republicans opposed to this
measure, it is not likely to be adopted.
Even if the amendment be supported by them, they
will vote against the bill as ameDced. Upon the iaii-
uIe of this project, the House will be thrown back
upon the Senate BILL and some Of the disafected Sou IA
Americans and of the doubtful Democrats will go for
it. and it may be passed by majority of two or three.
Mr.. Stephens OF Ga will move TO take up the bill at
10 o'clock ON Thursday and move the previous ques-
tion upon it, and upon all the amendments which may
be offered. This proceeding will be sustained by NO.
thirds of the House. The conclusion will be reached
by Saturday
