"a ,rs.snted TO his consideration bill providing
60, tbs submission OF the Lecompton Constitution,
,,i,h ,ause that in the event Of ts rejection the
admission Of Kansas should be postponed till the
r.,;o of federal representation was sc:rtaned by
ceDsus.
The Conference was to meet this morning at TO-
but Mr.. Er elish did not appear TIL nearly II, when
he came in with his bill in detail, which was handed
TO Gov Seward TO read Upon his suggestion, il
wa read aloud, and before being completed, ste-
phens who was extended on sofa, said that though
be was regarded as ultra, this project was satsfac
tory to him.
Mr.. E.'s echeme recites the preamble to the
Senate bill, and provides that the Land ordinance
shall be snbmtted to the people Of Kansas, and il
accepted, that then Kansas shall be admitted by
proclamation Of the President, as stated in TIL,
&nion. IL rejected, then her admission shall be
delayed till her population authorizes one Repre-
sentative under the census. As the next ratio may
be one hundred and twenty thousand, nothing can
be easier than for a United States Marshal and
deputies to report her below that figure, thus sub
jecting the Territory to Slavery for four years un-
with the nstrumentalities employed. Instead
the four Commissioners to conduct elections, ap-
point Judges and the like provided by the Crtten-
den bill, fifth rs named in the person of the Ter
ritorial District Attorney of Kansas who, being
Federal sppointee, would control the whole affair
and make returns like Regent Calhoun to suit ev-
cry necessity.
A msority Of the conference approved Mr.
Epglisb's bill without hesitation, and when Mr.
Howard appealed to Mr.. English to allow him to
insert short amend nent, submitting the Leaven-
worth Constitution at the same time, he declined,
thus showing that he was acting under instructions.
He then proposed to report Immediately, but Mr..
Seward asked an adjournment till tomorrow, say
ing that Mr. Cfittenden should have occupied his
place, having moved the amendment, and that he
desired to consult him and others. AT length, the
msjority consented to two hours delay, and in
sisted on puuctual attendance at 2 o'clock.
At the appointed hour Messrs. Seward and
Howard attended but no member of the major
ity They waited more than half an hour, and
then retired. The cause of this sudden detection
ia supposed to be traceable to rumor of these
proceedings having reached the House, and the
fact that several Southern men refused to accept
the arrangement. Messrs. Quitman, Miles, Barks-
dale Respsn, Greenwood and Others were freely
named Mr. Hunter stated in the Senate that his
Southern friends would not consent, and they being
more intractable than doughfaces, it was con-
sidered expedent by Mr.. Green to postpone the
Conference. This phase added greatly to the eI.
of <ba al md
tables were suddenly turned.
About O'Clock, q rumor spread that the English
bill had been modified 80 as to submit LecomptOn;
but Mr. Green, being asked if it were true, replied
that he would rather "see it sunk in h" than
consent to such condition. Efforts will be made
to night to bring in the Southern opposition, and, if
successful, the Conference will report tomorrow.
The course of Messrs. Foley, Pendleton and
Others is regarded as doubtful, inasmuch as Mr..
English stated in the conference that his contri-
vance would be carried in the House. Mr.. Hall Of
Ohio is already gone over. Mr.. Owen Jones said
openly that he would prefer LecomptOn naked to
this fraud.
No doubt is now entertained that Mr.. English
has been acting secretly with Bright and Others
throughout, and that his professed concert with
Ant. Lecompton men was intended to be more
effective in disclosing their purposes and incina-
tions. His good faith was suspected heretofore
from hs personal antecedents, but he has been
spared in the hope that he would do right. lie is
evidently but an instrument in the hands OF the
Administration. His scheme tenders Kansas abrioe
in one hand and q scOHrge in the other. Ihe one
will be spurned, and the other defed.
Csdwalader was not confirmed as Judge yester-
day, as was reported, but laid over for conside-
ration.
The Washington Police bill has been slaughtered
in the House.
MIR. FORSYTH is to be recalled from Mexico.
Gov. Robinson's letter produced very uufor-
tunats effect here, however intended.
Laier.-Since my former dispatch consultation
of Southern men has been held and it is found that
the opposition to Mr. English's scheme from that
ou.rtsr will not be abandoned. Ten are counted
decidedly, and it is supposed that nearly twenty IN
sl will unite under these circumstances IL Is
deubtful if the action of the Conference VIII DC
ranortsd To the House at all, and the whole affair
is likely to fail.
