 The debate on the Kansas bill in the Senate is to be closed to-day according to agreement, and the vote taken thereon. will of course pass that body, and be sent to the House where it's fate is doubtful as southern "shaky' Know Nothiugs are weak in the back bone'' on that question: At all events if it is defeated there, 1t will be on account of their detection.
 The bids for S5,oOOOOO treasury notes were opened at the treasury department last week, whereupon it appeared fraction under $7 OO0- GOO was offered, ranging at rate of interest from 3l5 to 6 per cent. The amount offered at a rate of interest under per cent. was S2,1OO,- OOO and was accepted. The remainder of this required s 100000 was taken at , per cent Treasury notes are und al.0ays haUe been at par here in exchange for gold, notwithstanding the shavers when they were first issued wished to discount them at @ per cent, but there has been such demand for them by business men that they have long since abandoned that game. It must be mentioned however that silver is now at a discount of two per cent.
 IL was announced in the Washington Union a few days ago, that Mir. Harris had retired from hat journal as editor and publisher, and that in future it wouId be under the propriator,hip of Cornelous Wendell. It Is well uuderstood here that Mr. Wendell and others have all the while been the propretors of the concern, while Mr. Harris was nomiually so for the purpose of getting him elected printer for the Senate, and thus secure that fat job to the establishment.
 While on the subject of printing l might mention that Senator Johnson, as chairman of the committee on printing in the Senate, IS reforming many abuses and saving the gov ernment thousands. In this effort he has how ever brought upon himself the ire of certain cliques here banded together to plunder the treasury because he will not lend his position and influence to assist them in their nefarious de- signs. They have connected a vile islander and under an anonymous signature it was published in the New York Herald No one, friend or foe, here or elsewhere believes there IS particle of truth in the charges, and there was no neces- sity on his part of any denial or vindcation.- But he has done so, and l enclose you copy of the correspondence on the subject, hoping you will publish the same, that the editors of the paper or papers in Arkansas, who found these charges in the New York Herald, and published them may certainly see the refuta- tion, and do him justice.
 Sebastians speech is still receiving the en- comiums of the press and has met with a large circulation through the Senators and Represent tatives here. They have already purchased twenty thousand copies of them for distribution to their constituents, principally for the States of Tennessee, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Msss- sippi, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana Alabama Louis- jana and Texas.
