WASHINGTON, Apr. ,, 1853.
The Administration has been exerting
every influence to-day to induce suIf
cient number Of members 20 change to
bring about q conference, that beir. the
last desperate reliance to carry Lecoup-
ton with a partial modification. Mr..
Clancy Jones and Others were specially
active, but have produced no visible iln-
preston yet. Much capital has already
been frutcssly squandcred. All indica-
tions warranted the belief that the Oppo-
sition will stand solid aud firm. The An
ti-Lecompton Democrats conferred this
morning, and no sign Of faltcriug, except
in a single case, were manifested. The
Southern Americans and the Republi-
cans are unhinching.
When the question Of disagreement
with the Senate comes up, Mr.. Montgom-
cry will move to adhere, aud Mr. Ste
phens Immediately after to rccede. The
latter motion Will bc put first, by parlia
mentaay usage, and the result on that
will virtually settle the controversy -
That once decided, other motions will
follow of course, and the death knell Of
Lecompton will be sounded.
The Senate bill did not g back to the
House to-day in consequence of a party
undertaking, and Mr.. Stephens signiiei
that he should not take it up before Tues
day The interval will be devoted to
manipulation, and no effort will be spared
to procure. Il sufficient detection to bring
about conference. Let the public eye
be rivited on every man Both Houses
adjourned till Monday.
Some ofthe Minnesota delegation seem
to suppose themselves already in Con-
gres>; they are ranking freely.
1t is uncertain when the Kansas bin
will come up again in the House All
attempts to get Mr. Stephens to agree
upon i time have failed He would only
indicate Tuesday as the probable day for
taking it up. The Democrats talk US il
it would yet pass; but that is nonsense
| The House will adhere to its amend
ment.
