The Senate took up the Kansas bill
yesterday at l O'Clock, and decided to in
sist on their original bill, and appointed
Messrs. Green, Hunter and Seward as
committee of conference to act with a like
committee of the House. In the House
to-day the motion to appoint committee

carried by the Speakers vote-the vote

resolution to adjourn on the first Monday
in June passed the Senate to-day, like
resolution having passed the House some
days ago.
Quite discussion took place yesterday
in the Senate on the bill to establish a
telegraph line from the frontiers of Mis-
souri, or iowa to Utah. Wilson Of Mass
undertook to steer the bill through. 1t

day in December next. 1t is understood
here that the President is preparing and
will send into Congress shortly, message

CASE OF SUSPENDED ANIMATION. Tho
Chicago Union states that ia somewhst
startling case of suspended animation
transpired on Friday, which should serve
as caution to those in attendance to the
sick. Mrs. Brown, the wife OF q plasterer.
residing on West Madison street, near
Green, has been long sick, and yesterday,
those in attendance on her observed the
usual symptoms of dissolution overspread-
ing her features, aud very soon thereaftsr
the heart appeared to have ceased its
function. The usual formalities were OBJ
served, and the woman placed in . colin.
and one of her girls visiting the body
shortly after, and sobbiDg loudly, the
corps moved, and the eyes moved and
stared wildly. A scene followed which
can more readily be conceived than ex-
pressed in words. The girl screamed and
tainted, momentary CONSERVATION passed
the household. This of course, was soon
overcome, aud Mrs. Brown removed from
her rather embarrassing position. She

nor sympathy from the citizens ofthe place.
The displeasure ofthe administration hung
over them. anG the hangers on of the ad-
ministration were constantly dogging
them. In the city Of Washington and
under the eye of the president. the Demo-

the best possible evidence of possessing
the most iEcorrurtible integrity. We

time he has devoted himself to the most la.
borious literary pursuits During his
long political career Mr.. BENTON made
many bitter polical and personal enemies,
but time has softened and obliterated an
imosities; and, when the great statesman
is placed in his grave; the mantle of obli-
won will be thrown over those events that
recall them to memory. All parties will
mourn his decease; the chaplet of nations
sorrow will be placed upon his aomb, and
it will be universally admitted that there
lies one of the greatest OF our statesmen.
To show the heroic manner in which he
faced the king of terrors, and the strength
of his determined will, VIC publish the fol-
lowing from the Washington correspon-
dent of the New York Tribune, who says,
under date of 9th inst:
Colonel BENTON is dying His dis
ease, cancer of the bowels, has made sneh
progress that he cannot survive much
longer. He suffers extreme pain, and is
exhausted to almost the last degree of
physical prostration. But his mind is as
clear and as powerful as ever, and the
high, resolute, Roman spirit of the old
statesman struggles with indomitable en-
ergy and fortitude against sickness and
weakness, and the awful presence of the
king of terrors. He dies in harness, work
ing to the last for his country and man.
kind. An old and intimate friend from
Missouri called upon him this morning.
Benton was in bed, scarcely able to move
hand or foot, and not able to speak much
above whisper; but he was hard at work,
closing up his Abridgement of the De-
bates of Congress, which he has brought
down to $50, to the passage of the Com
promise measures. He was debating the
closing chapter of the work. His daugh.
ter, Mrs. Jones, sitting beside the bed,
received it, sentence by sentence, whisper
ed in her ear, and repeated it aloud to
her husband, who wrote it down. 1t
was then read over to Colonel BENTON,
and received his corrections, made with as
much anxious particularly as if it were
the maiden work of young author"

What the LEGISLATURE Did.

The Legislature adjourned sine die on
the 9th inst, to meet again next Janu-
ary Quite a number of important peliti-
cal and general laws were passed, among
which we may mention the following:
l. A law repeating the spiteful and an
ti-national act of the lat Legislature,
forbidding to the General Government
the use of its jails for the confinement of
fugitives from service.
3. An act to restore the old habeas
corpats law, aud to repeal the rider which
had been put upon it by tho BIack-Re-
publicans, which was intended and design
ed to render imperative the Fugitive
slave Law in Ohio, and thus nullify a
provision iu the Federal Constitution.
g. An act to repeal the foolish and un-
constitutional act OF the last Legislature
which made it penitentiary offence to
bring a slave into Ohio.
4. The important law organizing the
Independent Treasury, and providing for
an entire divorce Of the public moneys
from banks and bankers Hereafter the
State will keep its own money under prop
er precaution and safeguards. =.
5. The bill reorganiziBg the Peniten-
tiary. ....
g. The bill appointing new commits
sioners for the State-house and appropri.
ating 100000 FOR upleling that struc-
ture.
I. A law providing for the sem-annual
collection of taxes in June and January,
instead of all in the latter month, as here
tofore. 1t is at the option of taxpayers
to pay half semi i-anuualy or all in Janua-
ry. This measure was much desired by
all tho large towns and cities.
s. A bill recognizing the Public Works
and giving to each member of the Board
the appointment of the subordinate otic-
ers upon his division. ..
| g. Increasing the salaries Of the Judg,
es of the Supreme Court to $4,000, and
of the Juhges of the Common Pleas o

many wholesome measures, and the gener.

benefit to the State than any Legislature
which has convened in several years.

CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

The full returns have been received of
the late Conntc icut election. They leave
the united American and Republican par
triumph over the Democracy. Mr. Buck
ingham, their candidate for Governor, has
but 1850 majority over General PRATT,
the Democratic nominee. Not in many
years, when the opposition were fairly
united, has their majority in Connecticut
been So small. In the Presidential elec-
tion it was over ten thousand. The two
principal counties in the State, Hartford
and New Haven, polling together thirty
thousand votes, were about balanced be-
tween the Democracy and all shades of the
opposition united.

The Revival Of Business

The Philadelphia Ledger notes the fact
that the newspapers furnish the best evil
dence that business has revived. A mouth
ago the columns of the principal business
newspapers in Philadelphia, Baltimore,
New York, and Boston were filed with
paragraphs, editorial comments, CORES
pondence, and miscellaneous selections
Now they are almost entirely filed with
advertisements; news and correspondence
are condensed to the smallest space, and
business excludes labored editorial essays
to more propitious season. These are
good signs for the public.
