ing tonight but nothing of Importance was
transacted, the votes being a tie in eonse-
quence of the absence of Mr.. LetcheT. By
general concurrence it was made improper
for any member to furnish any report for the
press.
(Heratd correspondence Senator Critten-
den of Kentucky will tomorrow present the
credentials of the Minnesota Senators, Messrs.
Rice and Shields, and ask that they be sworn
in. This question will at once give rise to
animated and exciting debate and when and
how it will end, l will not attempt to say,
but it is clear that the whole KanZas ques-
ton, in all its fury, viii be precipitated upon
that body.
The House Committee OH Post Offices and
Roads have before them large batch of pc
titions and memorials establishing lines of
steamers between the United States and al
most every conceivable point. The commit
tee are adverse to all these schemes, and they
will never see the light of day.
1t is whispered that Dallas will probably be
offered the Federal Judgeship made vacant
by the death of Judge Kane of Philadeph
This course will perhaps. make his recall
from the English mission acceptable to him.
The former relations between that gentleman
and President Buchanan have been somewhat
OF rivalry, and doubtless the latter has deli
cacy with regard to that recall, which the OPP
portunity to tender this appointment does
away with.
By request of Mr.. Stoekl the Russian min
lister, the Secretary of the Navy has ordered
Capt. Hudson to receive two officers of the
Russian Navy on board the steam irigate Nj
agara, as before, to witness the laying Of the
Atlantic cable.
Tribune correspondence - Washington,
Feb. 24.-The special Kanzas committee met
al the Capitol at o'clock this evening, and
sat TIL 8, The result was much the same as
before. Mr.. Letcher of Virginia, was absent
having gone home sick Mr. Harris, the
chairman said that he had received two com
munIcations from the State Department, both
OF which were unmportant, and contained
nothing unpublished, except the census
which gave the population of one more coun-
ty than the printed statements. Mr.. Morrill,
OF Vermont offered a resolution, calling for
the rejoinder to the Presidents reply to Prof
Silllman and the " Connecticut clergymen."
Mr. Stephens objected. The resolution was
postponed till the next meeting Mr.. Nor
Till offered another resolution, calling for doc
uments; among them for Walkers letter &C.
cepting the Governorship of Kanzas. This
resolution called also for all other official
Kanzas correspondence not vet transmitted to
Congress. 1t was rejected by tie vote. Mr..
Walbridge of Michigan offered resolution
calling for the record of the Territorial Legis-
lanve Committee appointed to investigate
election frauds. This was rejected by tie
vote.
Mr. Wade of Ohio, offered comprehensive
resolution proposing an investigation into all
the election frauds of Kanzas This was re-
Jeeted by tie vote. Mr.. Adrian of New Jer-
sey, offered two or three resolutions, which
were read for information. l cannot state
their purport with precision, but they were
not acted upon The only resolution adopted
was offered by Mr. Morrill, 1t called for the
statement OF Gen. Calhoun, referred to in
Senator GreeA's report, relative to the num-
Der of votes IN the unorganized counties of
Kanzas. Mr.. Stephens Of Georgia, gave no.
tlce that at the next meeting he should offer
a resolution to the effect that the committee
had got all the information they needed, and
should make majority report. The commit
tee adjourned to Wednesday next
Minnesota will probably be admitted apart
from and before Kanzas, it being understood
by the Lecomptonites that Senators Shields
and Rice, and the representatives elect, have
caved IN and gone over to Lecompton. L
think there is reason to fear that this impress
sionis too true, and that consequently two or
three additional votes for Lecompion will be
got into the House, which will probably de.
eide the result.
