Oi MOuudJ, MdlCH LOU the HlcHuS
of LecOmpton constitution determined
to remain in permanent session until the
vote on the admission of Kansas should
be taken or until the opponents of the
Bill should agree to take the vote some
time during the week.
The opposition resisted and the result
was that the Senate remained in session
until six o clock on Tuesday morning,
March 10th, when the opposition consen-
ted that tie vote might be taken on the
following Monday.
The session was stormy one and the
lie passed during the night between
Green of Missouri and Cameron of Penn
sylvania. Each gentleman apologised
to the Senate the following day and the
belligerent Senators made up.
There seems to be 30 doubt of the pas
sage Of Lecompton through the Senate,
when it comes to a vote. On the 18th
of Marci Mr.. Crittenden made a great
speech in opposition to Lecompton.
Senator Toombs replied to it the next
day and was followed by Bell of Tenn,
who took decided ground against the
bill
The fate of the bill in the House is
somewhat doubtful, the friends of the
measure having recently been beaten on
several questions which were regarded
as tests The opposition in the House
have recently lost some n 'rthern Dem
ocratc members who had been relied
upon to oppose Lecompton, but the loss
is believed to be more than made good
10y the accession of strength from Amer
leans representing southern constituent
cies.
In the Senate, Mr.. Foster Of Conn,
spoke against the Lecompton Constitu-
ton and Mr.. Clay of Ala. against pure
Democracy and i'll favor of disunion in
case the Republican party should take
the reins of government. His views
were criticized by Mr.. Houston.
The House of Representatives deci-
ded by the strong vote of 143 to AZ
against any increase of our standing
army and in favor If allowing the Pres
ident to accept the services of five regi-
ments of volunteers to be employed in
settling our Mormon and Indian trouh-
les. The army bill in thi, shape passed
the House by vote of 1877 to 73.
From the 18th to the goth of March
there were many able speeches made on
both sides of the Kansas question
amongst which that of Senator Critten-
den against is said to have been the
most able.
Senator Douglas is sick but intends to
speak on the 22d, when Kansas matters
are expected to come to a final vote in
the Senate.
March 18th, quite a fare-up occurred
between Senators Bigler and Broderick
about some remarks made by the former
gentleman, in which the name of Mr..
McDougal was introduced. The dispute
was rather personal and seemed to in
volve a question of veracity, but the
matter was finally dropped.
Pacifc Railr0ad-In the House of

the chairman of the committee on the
Pacific Railroad introduced bill which
was referred to that committee to aid in
