A discussion of some length took
place between Messrs. Green and Doug
las, when the former proceeded.
He said that he had a substitute for
the bill reported by the majority COM
mittee, which he would offer at the
proper time. This substitute provided
nesota together, the object being to ex-
pedite the business before the Senate, SO
that other important questions might
come up for consideration. He then
argued the legality of the Kansas Con-
stitution, contending that it was repub-
lican in form, and was 4 legal choice of
the people. The population of Kansas
is sufficient to entitle her to one Rep
resentative, and the Constitution of the
United States prescribes no specific num-
Der of inhabitants. He referred to the
unsettled state of the Territory as a
powerful and overwhelming reason for
its admission, for it would give peace
and quietness to the Territory. He had
received information to-day of a murder,
comitted by parties opposed to the LIE
compton Constitution, and that General
Whitfield had been driven from the Ter
ritory under threats of assassination
This, he said, was the reason of the
absence of Federal officers from Kansas.
1t is useless to cry peace, when there
will be none until Kansas comes into
the Union.
Mr.. Collamer followed. He referred
to the Missouri Compromise as having
settled the slavery agitation. 1t being
a fair bargain, he thought it unjust in
the South, after receiving her portion of
the advantage, to repudiate the compact.
Who believed, he asked, in 1854, that
slavery would exist in Kansas? 1t was
a well-settled principle that the power
to regulate implied the power to pro-
hibit, and quoted instances to show
where this power had been exercised,
and referred to a case in Mississippi, in
1896, in point. He defended the Emf
grant Societies, denying that the emf
grants from the North went to Kansas
merely to vote, without designing to
stay there. lie referred to fraudulent
elections, carried by interlopers from
Missouri, and to other gross outrages,
into which the Government had never
examined.
Without concluding, the Senate ad-
journed.
HOUSE.-The Speaker has appoin-
ted Seward, (Ga,,O Harris, Qll.,) Grow,
(Penn.,) Curtis, Qowa.,O and Bishop,
(Conn.,) as committee upon the Matte
SON case. Mr.. Harris Was executed on
his own request.
Resolutions adopted by the Legisla-
ture of Washington Territory were read,
declaring that the proclamation of mar
tial law by Governor Stevens was a pa
triotic act, and required to maintain
peace in the Territory.
Mr.. Sherman, (Ohio) submitted a
a resolution, which was adopted, calling
for information as to whether any money
has been paid from the U. S. Treasury.
to the year ending June last, for the
Legislature, or pretended Legislature,
of Kansas, and ii so, under what act
and from what fund.

A discussion took place on the bill

of the House, pending which

GREAT ACTIVITY IN THE GRAIN MAR
KEr.-For the last ten days the creates,
activity has prevailed in the Grain Mar
ket, especially in wheat. 1t is selling to.
day for SO cents for prime, and for lower
qualities from so to 55 cents.
On every avenue loading into the city
from the country teams are streaming il
loaded with with grain, and around the
warehouses of those buying, the streets
are blocked up with them On the lowe,
Main street, yesterday, near IL. NJ Con,
gers and Northrup d Ryder, we connted
at one time fifty teams waiting to unload
The arrivals OF teams yesterday willreach
nearly, if not quite. three hundred. Be.
sides these, the Dubuque and Pacific
railroad is bringing very large amounts
IN every train from Dyersville and Not
tingham, having in force its whole stock
of freight cars. Yesterday, one train
brought two thousand bushels. At Dy-
ersville and Nottingham therush of grain
from the country is very great, and it is
with extreme difficulty that warehouse
room can be Attained for it. $50 wagons
arrived and were unloaded in Noting
ham, on Wednesday. The demand is
active here, and likely to remain so.
The great difficulty is the want of boats
to carry it away before it accumulates.-
There arc now over twenty thousand
bushels in the city awaiting SHIPMENT
The demand for more boats, all along the
river from here to St. Louis, is increasing,
and 1t is feared that unless more shipping
facilities are furnished the market Will be
injured. But we understand that there
will be more boats up in few days
We hope this will be the case as it i'm
portant to the prosperity of the trade and
commerce OF the city, which has already
been much improved by the active cash
demand for produce, that demand should
be kept up. Whenever the products OF
our country meet with an active cash de
mand at healthy prices, we must have an
active commercial trade.
We understand that application was
made 10 the packet company to put on,
between here and st. Louis, some of their
idle steamers, but that they declined. =
We urge upon our business men the ne
cessity--if possible--of getting on suffi
cient tonnage to take away the grain and
produce as fast as it accumulates. We
understand that at Lansing. McGregor,
Clayton Gutenberg and Cassrille, the
warehouses are filling rapidly, and that
the boats tha. arc running can not begin
to take It all as fast as it comes in. One
thing is gratifying to all, that is, the i'm
mense resources in produce have lain DOR
man so long are now meetidg rapid and
remunerative markets. We predict a
good healthy summer, and fall business.

The Coming Election.

Gs~ Our readers will please bear in
mind that on Monday next, the Banking
Laws passed by the last Legislature are to
be submitted to them for acceptance or
rejection. The Inconvenience which
our State has suffered, from a restriction
of Banking privileges, are patent to all.
We have been compelled to use the cur
rency of other States, which in many
cases has become worthless upon our
hands. simply because We cannot, con-
veniently, ascertain the condition of the
banks issuing it. And we have been
flooded with lot of shinplasters from
neig ghboring territories, issued solely for
the purpose of taking advantage of our
necessities. The necessities of business
demand banking conveniences. They
facilitate the shipment of produce, and
give an impetus to public and private
Improvements. They only need proper
guards thrown around them to make
them prolific means of benefit to com
munity.
That the Laws now submitted for our
consideration have these guards we have
not yet heard disputed. Every effort
was made by our Legislature to draft a
law that would give to ill-holders all the
guarantees of safety that could be grant
ed them, consistent with practical law.
They are confidently pronounced, by au
thorites abundantly reliable, to be the
most guarded laws of any in the Union,
with the exception of those Of Ohio, after
which they are modelled Ii this is so,
and we think it is-because the anti bank
men have not denied tit certainly is 10
our interest to adopt them. TO insure
both against defeat, it is necessary for us
to vote for both. Ii the friends of the
State Bank vote with the enemies of
both against the Free Banks, the latter
will undoubtedly be defeated and if the
friends of Free Banks vote with the enc
mics of both against the State Bank, a
like result will follow, and we shall doubt
less find that unless we vote for both,
both will be defeated. Let every man,
then, who desires good, safe and prac
ticable Banking system for our State,
vote for both laws.
This election has, in our county, ad-
ditional int srcst, inasmuch as the ques-
ton of aid to the Dubuque & Pacific
Railroad is TO be decided upon. We
have heretofore given our reasons why
We think it would be for the interest of
the county to vote tho lax proposed. II

ously guard the funds of the State from
peculation of every kind.
Mr.. RICE is the present Attorney Gen.
eral, and is undoubtedly one of the best
lawyers in the State. He has heretofore
proven himself most capable and eff
cient officer, and will carry the State by
as large majority as any man on the
ticket.
With Messrs. MILLER and DRAKE we
arc in no manner acquainted, though we
heard them very highly endorsed at the
convention. We have no doubt, how
ever, that they fully deserve the conf
dence and support of the Republicans
and people of the State.
The Congressional Convention met at
the same place the day succeeding the
meeting Of the State Convention. The
attendance was very full, and good
deal of interest manifested, in conse.
quence ofan active canvass by the friends
of the different candidates. This did
not, so far as we are aware, present any
unpleasant feature. There was no at
tempt at personal detraction, but the best
possible feeling was prevalent. All fell
that the candidates were all worthy, and
that he who secured the nomination
could justly demand cheerful and ac
tive support from every true-hearted Re-
publican. The contest lay almost entirely
between VANDEvER, of Dubuque, SMITH,
of Linn, and THoRINGToN, of Scott
The whole number Of votes cast was
100. On the first formal ballot Thoring-
ton had Sd, Smyth 80, Vandever &c.
On the second and last ballot, Vandever
had 102, Thorington 73, and Smyth Is.
This nomination is most excellent one.
Mr.. VANDEvER has been an active and
able worker in the Republican ranks for
years. He is a good speaker, a lawyer
of prominence, steadfast, unflinching
Republican. and man of the largest
wherever known.
With such a ticket, and with plat
form embodying the doctrines of the
trainers of our national constitution, as
reaffirmed by the Philadelphia resolu-
tions, and breathing opposition to the
monstrous decisions of pro-slavery Su-
preme Court, to the violation, by the De-
mocracy, of the rights of the people of
our territories, and to the unheard of
extravaganza which has characterized
the Administration of James Buchanan,
we cannot but be triumphantly success
full.
