HIIGAANDl
Mr.. KEIrT, of South Carolina, demanded
that the rules should be enforced, and the
galleries cleared.
The SPEAKER reminded gentlemen in the
galleries that they were not in theatre, and
said if the disturbance was repeated during
the day, the gentlemeu's galleries should be
cleared
The bill thus amended, was sent back,
Immediately to the Senate, when MIR. Green
moved to reconsider the vote By which the
Senate had previously resolved to adjourn
till Monday next. The motion was carried
yeas %, nays 81. Nj. Green then moved
that the House bill be printed, and further
moved that the Senate disagree to the same;
pending which latter motion, the Senate ad-
journed.
The Union says:--
"On no previous occasion has the action
of Congress attracted a larger audience than
that present yesterday in the galleries of the
House of Representatives. Every seat SEEM
ed to be filled, while the doorways we're
crowded by an eager throng striving to gain
admittance. The ladies' galleries were full
to overfowing The seats assigned to the
diplomatic corps were occupied by several
members thereof, who doubtless embraced
the occasion to take lesson in the democra-
tic mode Of disposing Of great and excit-
ing question. The scene was altogether i'm
pressive, aud the proceedings of the House
unusually decorous and orderly. Including
the Speaker, there were two hundred and
thirty-three members 10 their seats-only
one being absent, Mr.. Caruthers, OF Mis-
souri,. We have no recollection of any mea-
sure that has called out 30 full vote as the
bill to admit Kansas"
The National IntelligeDcer says
1--WE wish to call public attention to the
dignity and decoram which marked the
whole of Yesterdays proceedings in the
House of Representatives, notwithstanding
the exciting nature Of the question which
was about to receive solution. Without
any resort to the strategy Of parliamentary
tactics, the able leader of those who favored
the adoption of the Senate bill interposed
no impediments in the way OF such oppo-
nents of that measure as sought to present
substitutes for the same; and thus the will
of majority of the House was fully and fair
ly tested, under circumstances which not
only do credit to the good order of the House
itself, but which serve to illustrate and adorn
the workings Of our civil SYSTEM
A telegraphic dispatch from Washington,
says:
Notwithstanding the result on the Kan
sas bill, the friends OF the Lecompton constl-
tuition are still sangui"e Of ultimate success.
They poin, to the fact of ~ majority against
its rejection, as evidence OF the disposition Of
the uajority to admit Kansas in some shape
under the Lecomptoh constitution.
"The Senate will, tomorrow, non-concur
in the House amendment to the Kansas bill,
and the democratic calculation is that the
vote will be very close in the House on the
question to recede from it, and strong effort
will be made with that view. Should this
fail, the disagreement must 60 to join. COM

The Baltimore American and Exchange,
both, regard the plan of settling the Kansas
question proposed by the House of Represen-
tatives, the best, under the circumstances,
that can be adopted. The Exchange con-
tends that "the difference between the Be.
nate and House bills, is just about that be-
.wixt tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee. Mr..
Green's bill provided for the immediate ad-
mission of Kansas as State under the LIE
com ton Constitution, leaving to the people
Oh IF al or
ishine that Constitution whenever they pleas
ed. The substitute for Mr.. Green's bill Oh
fercd by Mr.. Montgomery, and passed by
the House, provides for the Immediate admls-
sion OF Kansas into the Union, and refers the
Lccomptou Constitution to the people Tor
adoption OF rejection. What is the differ
ence? Practically there is none. In either
even. the Lecompton Constitution is not like
" to continue long in force; in the former
case it would doubtless have been abolished
by the people, in the latter it is almost GER
tain to be, rejected by the people. In either
event, too, the destiny of Kansas to be Tree
State is equally certain" Wea are not With
ont hopes, although we wish Congress could
have settled the matter on Thursday, with
out further difficulty, that if the matter
is referred to Committee Of Conference, pa
trjotism will exert its potent influence, and
bring about united action on the part Of all
those who wish to defeat Black Republican
Vaccinations, and restore peace to the pub
lilo councils. A majority in both branches
of Congress are undoubtedly that way in-
clined.
