= sgNATE.--Mr. Green asked leave to mako
report from the Committee Of Conference on the
Kansas Bill.
Mr.. Stuart raised objections. which provoked
salens discussion on the point that parliament
ary law gave TO the House possession of the bill
end the Senate not having. the bill before it,
could not proceed to consideration.
gfssMr Stuart asserts his belief that the bill was
before the House Mr. Broderick informed the
Senate that within the last four minutes the bill
had been laid on Mr.. Green's desk, member
Of the House, Harris, Of ILL.,, having informed
A.him (BFederick) that it was surreptitiously tax
.,sn out OF the House.
a Mr.. Green said that the bill was on his
desk. having been brought from the Secretarys
office. Alter further discussion Mr.. Stuart
moved that the report be not received at pres
@eak ~ a. gs
ghc chair decided that Mr.. Green had the
floor 10 preSentthe report, which he did, with
~Afew preparatory remarks. He said that the
report might not come up to the expectations
.ofeyerybody, but it was founded on mutual con-
.csssion 1t was proper that the Senate should
not be d stated to by the House. nor the House
sby the Senate. The Committee, therefor, met
In a spirit of conciliation, and tried many prop
sosiiioTfs. Whether it has arrived at the best he
could not say, but it sacrifices no principle. 1t
hermonizes with what the country demands,
and opens the prospect Of peace, and settle
.rnent Of the pending difficulties.
In the House, to day Mr. English, in presen-
sting the report said that IN view Of the state Of
public business, and the fact that this subject
had already been moro thoroughly discussed
than any proposition ever brought before Con-
.Srsss, he did not propose to make any extended
remarks. In consulting for compromize, they
.wsrsr deeply impressed with the responsibility
srssting upon them, and while adhcrlng to what
they believed to be great principal, they had
sndeavored to discharge their duty in q spirit
which would not endanger the passing ofa great
measure, and hazard the peace Of the country
aioE unimportant points or unmeaning words.
This report was the very last whioh the Com
.Inittee could agree on, in view OF the embarras
sing circumstances surrounding their action
1t il true that tie report proposes the admission
sof Kansas on q certain condition, but in this re-
spect it does not differ from the Senate Bill o,
the House amendment.
He referred to the LccoTpton ordinance to
seliow that the proposition was inadmissablo.
szBy that ordinance Kansas would receive 25,-
81, 900 acres Of land, worth at maximum
price $29, 500 900, exclusive ofbenefts.
The amendment proposes to give grants SINH
lar to those made to most Of the new States,
Fa9o00, 600 acres less than by the Lecompton or
edinaRce, making difference to the United
States of25000OQ0
The report agreed upon might not be fair but
II IL fail it is fair to presume that parliamentary
.sspedisnta viii be exhausted and the question
sill be open. engenderng sectional strife and
ssi1gendering the peace and prosperity of the
country. Ifthe report is adopted, the question
will depart, it is hoped and believed, never to
.retHEn. This is proposition where much is 10
be gained and nothing lost. So far as the re-
EIlts are concerned, If lost, it will be unfortun-
sate for the country and peril the blessing which
Aow from the Union.
