WASHINGTON MATTERs.-Mr. Crittenden's
speech IN the Senate attracted the largest at
tendance of any Kanzas speech. Mr.. Stock
ell, Lord Napier, and many members of the
House of Representatives were on the floor.
Mrs. Crittenden and several of the ladies OF
the Senators in the galleries. and his friends,
crowded around him shortly after he had
concluded, and cong atulated him.
Recent information from Kanzas removes
all doubt as to the election of the Free State
ticket, and therefore Mr. Calhoun has deelar-
ed his intention to give certificates according
ly.
Republican members of the House want
reasonable time for discussion, say from one
to two weeks after the Kanzas bill comes
from the Senate, when they will be willing
that the question be taken.
All the vacant cadetships in the Military
Academy have been filed
The Washington correspondent of the N.
Y. Herald, writes March II:
The bill of Senator Toombs was up for
consideration TO day in committee, and is
progressing rapidly. He has no idea of urg-
ing anything but substantial law, which
shall be permanent and meet the necessities of
the country
Mohammed Pacha visited to day the Sec
retaries at their offices, beginning with the
Secretary of state. He then went to the
Navy yard. To- morrow be will visit the
President. Several senior naval officers called
upon him this morning.

The following is from the correspondence

policy are certain of nothing, except a pro-
tracted struggle, and of damage in any event,
to the administration, the Democratic party,
and the harmony of the Union.
There is no intention on the part of the
Lecompton members to take any step back

and sink or swim with it. One of the Cabi-

the Cabinet, and its reconstruction. Perhaps
1t will also lead to a reconstruction of the
Democratic party, upon safer grounds than
the Lecompton issue. But still, am inclined
to think that the bill, in whatever form it may
pass the Senate, will also pass the House, al.

and interesting fight"
