The Administrations in High Feather-7ze Re
pu6licans not Dspressed-Appointments in
Ohio, dc.
Correspondence of the N. Y. Tmesl
Washington, April 80, 1855.
The friends OF the Administration are exult-
ing with Joy over the double success of passing
the Kansas and the Deficiency bills on the same
day, and some powder has been burned in con-
sequence. The passage of the Kansas bill was
managed 20 have q dramatic effect, by making
it pass both Houses simultaneously, and by the
same maiority-nine. Both Houses immediate
" adjourned, and general scene of congratu-
lation followed. The bills are already signed
by the President of the Ssnate and Speaker OF
the House.
The Republicans are not at all depressed, but
say that it 10 only Bunker Hill defeat, to be
followed like that by the uprising OF the coun-
try. The best opposition speakers will be
thrown into Kansas as soon as the election is
ordered, with the expectation Of defeating the
adoption Of the Constitution, in which
renew ed application for admission with the new
Constitution, in spite of the prohibition, will be
advised.
The appointments for the whole State of Ohio
will be made immediately, the President having
only waited for the disposition Of the Kansas
bill. The State is already made up in favor Of
the Pugh wing Of the Democracy. The only
probable exception is Gray, the Cleveland Post
master, whose late misfortune will secure his
| retention.
The admission of Minnesota will now imme-
diately be brought up by Stephens in the House,
and the House will proceed to consider the Cass-
| Yrisarri Treaty.
There is a Democratic Caucus at the Capitol
tonight, called for the purpose of laying down
party platform for the future admission OF
States. II 10 thinly attended, and nothing has
been done. The object is 10 adopt the propo-
sition Of Quitman, that no State shall be here
after admitted without the requisite population
for . member. 1t will be opposed by the
Northern Democrats, on the ground that the
/ Caucus has no power to make party platforms,
which belongs TO the National Conventions,
where the party 10 fully represented. 1t was,
| however, part Of the consideration on which
southern extremists voted for the Kansas bill,
| that such proposition should be adopted.
| Oui,man and his friends were promised this
| The Caucus will adjourn to next Tuesday
evening.
/ Supposed Trick Of Brigham Young.
Washington, April 2s.
Ihave heard tie opinion expressed in intelli'
cant and wsll.informed quarters here. that the
statements Of Disgusted Mormon" con-
tained in the letter of your special correspond
snt from Leayeuwortb, really emansted from
Brigham Young himself and, that Loba, in
stesd OF being an escaped and disgus,sd Saint,
i : secret agent Of Brigham's whose mission u
| 10 dissuads the Government, by deprsciatinx
\ the strength and resources Of the Normons,
from sending out more forces against them
The idea 10 based on the supposition that Brig
ham finding his braggadocia 70 have failed IN the
object Of deterripg tine Government from inter
isring with him, Is trying this new game with I
view 20 induce it not to reinforce Genera
Johnston. From what We know Of the charac
Ter of tho Mormon Leader and Prophet, tht
suggestion seems worthy Of consideration.
