Tie House then adjourned.

Mr.. Crittendens amendment ~ passed was ma
terjslly improved aid modified since II was hr'e
offered IN the Senate. Instead OF saying tha' the
Constitution with which Kansas is now admitted
shsl be Submitted to the popular vote, 1t refers 10
il merely rs Constitution framed al Le'ohiP'on'
II prevents less than a mslOrty OF the boaru
of,Comu,issioners from certifying the vote on the
Constitution to the President thus rendering
Kickspoo frauds and the like trultle's. IL REJECTS
the land grab ordnance dnd Furnishes Illegal voting
or fruduent returns with severe penalties. IL de-
clares that if LecomPton is rejected, md new
Con sti,ution ratified by the people Kansas shall Dc
absolutely in the lnon; thus preventing any
fsciious resistance 10 her admission next inter- OK
any demands for compromises ss conditions oil sd-
Mission.
The Anne ricaus of Washington are as reJoced AZ
the result as the Republicans and the Douglas Dom
ocrats in Congress. The Buchanan men mourn
and threaten alternately. Old Buck isvery gloomy
and indignant The whippers-in insist that the
House must and viii receie; but the anti-Lecomp-
top.tes are firm, and all say that the man who
Yields shall be branded by the whole phalanx a.
diseIsced.
Mr.. Harris of Illinois came in from his sick room'
determined 10 vote if il cost him bis life as IL may
He. with Messrs. Hickman aud Chapman of fenn'
s,Isabia voted to reject the Senate bill absolutely
Every nti.Lecompton Member should stil stay
at his post. No one can know the hour at whIch
the Senate may send back the bill.
From a Specie Co,re.ponderl
WASHINGTON, Thursday, April !, 1855.
Tie Union few days ago sneered at my estimate
| of March -, and said that several Democrats
we're put where they would not be found on test
vote Whoeverwill compare that canvass with the
result to-day, allowing for Mr. Caruthers' absence,
may ste every vote and figure verified. The Union
F! is now enlightened according to my promise.
When the action Of the House was made known
10 the senate it receded from the determination to
adjourn TIL Monday, which had been previously
| made ard Mr.. Green moved to non-cOncur in the
| amendment.
This motion will BE- adopted tomorrow, and then
the question for the House will be whether it shall
| kill the whole af'air.
The usual proceeding is to insist and ask fot q
| Committee Of Conference; but no such inclination
is entertained No conference is required, because
the two Houses radically disagree in principle.
| Therefore tie bill az disagreed to ought to BE-
laid on he table, whence it would require two
thirds 70 take il up, or motion to adhere should
be carried which would give LecomptOn its efec-
tual quietus.
The Senate has kept back Minnesota with designs
Of using it in the present contingency and IL Is not
improbable, if the House should adopt the course
suggested, that Ksnsss may be put on as rider;
| but such scheme will be defeated in the Houte.
| There is remote possibility that the Senate may
| hereafter adopt Mr. Crttenden's substitute as
means Of saving the party from total disruption
or from practically surrendering to the Douglas in
| terest. Such advice has been given from high
| quarters.
| Mr.. Horsce T. Clark Is entitled to much credit
for bs course to-day against urgent influences from
| all quarters Mr. Pendleton fulfilled more than
| was expecteJ from him.
| The New.York Lecomptonites, with other
douphfaces refused even to vote for the bill alter
| il was amended--thus denying TO the people of
| Kansas their last chsDce to express an opinion on
| the Constitution. They presented humiisting
spectacle. and sbryeed under the shout for berty
| Hnlcn TNIt. saieiFo WITCH tuc aoinIi-
| istrat.ou WAS defeated.
The Senate reduced the five regiments Of vOlun-
teers 10 three, including ole for I ,xas.
TIE Administration preteuls 10 claim several
| Ar.l.Le,ompton Democrats ss ready to surrender
on ipal test, bet sith no better authority than
that on VIII re.ted their prognostcs concerning
the result to-day. Buchanan is down, and the
Cabinet expected to resign since it has forced the
issue and been defeated in the house of its friends
70 The Aseocis,ed Press.
| With other distn. .usled personsges at the House
| to-day were the Bri,sh, Eu,san Mexican and Dutch
