WASHINGTON, Monday, April I9. 1853
The Conference Committee met this morning sa
spent an hour in conversation. All the member
were present. No proposition has been made 0,
either side yet.
The Conference meets again tomorrow at l0A
No.. when it is probable that an agreement viii Be
made or that they will report to both Houses hsr
inability to agree. The latter ia the most likay
result.
The Republicans have resolved to stand by tia
Crittenden amendment entire, which removes ths
Kansas question finally and forever from Congress
aud they will decline taking anything lees, throw
ing the responsibility on the Administration ofIea
ing open the question by refusing to adopt the
Crittepden bill. 1t is understood that the SIX
South Americans aud the Douglas Democrats will
take the same stand, nearly il not quite unsn
mously.
1t is said that Mr. English intends, at the nex.
n eetipg of the Conference Committee, to propo-e
a uew Kansas bill. embracing a substitute for tbs
Lecompton ordinance, and provid pg that the que'-
lion of admission under the Lecompton Coasst.
ton. with the amended ordinance, be referred atM
early day to fair vote OF the people OF Kansas II
the msjority vote for it, Kansas to be immedia'eiy
admitted into the Union by the proclamation oil ns
President of the United States. If the msjority Be
against il. new Constitution to be framed wheu-
ever Kansas has sufficient population to entitle her
to Representative.
The Lecomptontes are spreading the report that
Gov. Robinson is in favor OF the admission OF
Kansas under TIE Lecompton Constitution. III,
Star publishes letter of bis to Fitchburg paper
in order to make it appear that such Is his oplnon
The letter bears no such construction and am au
,borized to state that Gov. Robinson intends fur
pisbing some views of Lecompton such as are held
by the Anti-Lecompton party in Congress. Any
statements to the contrary are caumnous and forged
for political effect.
The House to-day gave very important vote ou
the Police bill. 1t will he remembered that tho
Nebraska bill in 1854 was taken out OF the Com
mittee of the Whole By motion by Mr. stephens
TO strike out the enacting clause, which took pre-.
cedeuce of all amendments, aud whenthus reported
back to the House, virtually dead, the majority
pu, the ensctng clause in again, and passed it.
molten was made to-day to strike out tho 90.
acting clause of the Police blu before acting on all
the peudnp amendments. The Chairman ruled il
out of order thus reversing the Nebraska decision,
and on appeal his decision was sustained BY vote
of 79 to SO. Thus is restored to the Committee Of
the Whole its appropriate function of considering
and voting on all amendments offered to Brtects
bill.
From a Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Monday, April 10, 1863
The Committee of Conference met this morning;
all were present. After much diplomacy, Mr
Green proposed striking out the Green-Push
amendment from the Senate bill, thus leaving Le
compton pure and simple in the form in which Il
commanded 60 votes in the House when tried By
Mr. Qutman. He afterward sgnifed his intention
to eDgrsft it, with slight alteration in the phrase
oloey, in the preamble to the bill
In the course of proceedings, Mr.. English ex'
presstd his purpose to offer proposition for sub
mittipg LecomptOn to the vote OF the people
according to the Cittenden amendment, but
omitDg the enabling clause in the event of ito re-
lection.
Since the adjournment, it is understood that he
proposes requiring a population of $4,000, to DO

The Conference meets at 10 O'Clock tomorrow
and, it is hoped, for the last time.
The Administration admits that its defeat IS
impending ard full confidence is now entertane'
that the Opposition will triumph and have votes %
