the following news brought by the Steamer
John L Stspbenss
In Congress the Lecompton business was
resusitated. by the Senate refusing TO re-
ceive the House bill and sending it back.
the Hou G thereupon voted-ayes 1l0, noes
l11--to the Crittenden amendments. thus
reafirming by precisely the same majority
Of the vote upon the passage OF the bill.
The matter remained ln this condition for a
few days, when, under the pressure OF the
Administration, the Senate asked for con-
mittee of conferences. This request was
closely contested in the House, and finally
carried by the casting vote OF tho Speaker,
aud committees were appointed on both
sides. On the part Of the Senate Messrs.
Green Hunter and Seward, aud on the part
Of the House, Messrs. Stephens, English and
Howard, were chosen as the committees
They have had one or two sessions, but no.
thing has as yet been determined upon. The
latest reports are that there is no probabil-
ity Of any satisfactory agreement. The fact
that the House has voted TO adhere. 1t Is con.
sidered, excludes the possibility Of this COM
mittee receding In any manner from the
Original House bill and as the Senate can
not be expected to accede to this, II Is pre-
sumed the only result OF the Committee Of
Conference will be to delay action, and no.
thing will be done, unless by bare possi-
bility the duly manufactured Constitution
Z, forwarded from Lcavenworth, should DO ta-
ken up and adopted as o substitute for the
whole
(The appointment of this conference com.
mittee will doubtless BE- claimed as tri-
umph by the Lecompton Press Of California.
Upon reference to the list Of ayes and noes
upon the Montgomery substitute to the
Crittcnden amendments, we find Messrs.
English of Indiana, and Howard of Michigan,
voting right. These two with Mr.. Seward
from the Senate, constitute an Offset to
Greene Hunter and Stephens. Lccompton-
tites; hence we may very reasonably con-
clude that the sessions Of the committee will
not result in any agreement, advantageous
to the Administration men --Ep RECORD
