From the New York Herald.
Washington, April p.
Yesterday the prospect looked brighter
for the adoption by Congress Of the plan
Of settlement of the Kansas difficulty as
to be matured By the Commit
tee of Conference. 10 day its adoption
amounts almost to a certainty. The ey-
IRENE Southern men who talked opposi- |
ton at first have not been able, after the
most intense scrutiny and torture Of that
instrument called the Kansas Constitu
ton, TO discover any difference between
tweedledum and tweedledce.
The only Southern man who NAV vote
against the plan of the committee is Gen.
,9uitman; and it is even questionable now
4 he may not abstain from voting at all.
1t IS believed there will be majority of
four TO five in the House in favor Of tho |
bill as II will be reported by the commit
ee
