From a SPECIAL C0rrepondent.
WASHINGTON, Monday March ), 1865
An important movement is intended in the House
tomorrow. Mr. Harris, from the Special Kansas
Committee of Fifteen, will bring in the journal OF
its proceedings with report stating that all the
objects of the investigation have been defeated BY
the course of the majority and asking further action
ON the part Of the Hou,e.
A resolution may then be submitted by HUM
phrey Marshall or some other person containing IN
structions to the effect that seven members OF Tue
Committee be authorized to obtain any information
and 10 summon witnesses in the prosecution OF the
purposes of the inquiry ordered. The question
will then arise whether this be privileged PROPOSE
ton, and upon that test will be made.
1t il believed that six Americans will vote tor
further Investigation but the application of the pro-
posed test may be postponed in order TO PRINT the
journal as no design is entertained OF moving the
previous question upon IT,
If this movement be defeated, then the regular
reports from the Committee will be presented II the
course of the week, but not till the minority are
fully prepared as they have sufficient protection in
the rules against the taking of snap Judgment,
which may, however be attempted by Mr.. Ste
phens.
Senator Green gave notice in the Senate to-day
of his purpose to press the Lecompton debate to
conclusion this week, and to bring it to vote on
Monday. The majority fear the effect OF the sentl-
ment of the country against the swndle, and has
ten to conclusion in order to prevent any express
sion from Kansas on the recent developments and
discussion.
The public voice should be Immediately uttered
through meetings and the Press. The majority
are even now quaking under the effect already pro-
duced.
Senator DOolitte closed bis argumentatiye speech,
in which he reviewed the legal aspects of the whole
Kansas question, to-day Mr.. Foster followed with
an able and effective effort, annihiatng the positions
assumed in the majority report and the positions OF
the Administration. He kept Mr.. Green on bis
legs attempting to answer his arguments.
Afterward, the Senate went into executive ses
sion on Postmaster Cooks nomination, and sat till
: o'clock Replies from the Post Office and Trea
sury Departments were received, covering part
of the information asked for by Mr.. Douglas. 1t
was shown that as late as September Mr.. Cook was
notified that, unless the balance against him was
satisfied, suit would be commenced against his
suretes.
After long and earnest discussion the vote was
postponed. Mr. Cook will be confirmed tO-mOr-
row, and partly in consequence Of private asSur-
ances from the Administration that he will soon
resign.
Mr.. Nye has not been nominated as Marshal of
Northern Illinois, aud the probability now is that
Mr. Davidson will be retained.
The President is engaged to-day with Secretary
Floyd considering the appointment of the ten
Cadets TO West Point whom the Executive exclu-
siyey selects.
No nomination has been made yet for the Marshal
Of this District and the matter is much compli-
Gated. The case of DR.. Jones, nominee for Post
master of the city has been referred to the Dstaict
Committee, and will not be reported upon very
soon.
