LIST OF ACTS PASSED BY THE KANSAS
LEGISLATURE.

Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette
QUINDARo, X. T., Dec. IS, 1857.
The Legislature adjourned sine die, at o'clock
Thursday evening. Before doing 30, It passed bill
repeating the famous rebellion act" and another,
directing the prosecuting attorneys of the Territory
TO enter nole prosequis in all cases now pending nm
der the "Rebellion law" Gov. Stanton vetoed both
these bils but the former was Immediately re.enacted
over his disapproval.
The following is synopsis of all the action COM
pleted at this extra session.
Passage of the Militia bill, aud election under it
of Territorial Military Board.
q Joint resolutions protesting against admission in
10 the Union under the Lecompton constitution.
J. Concurrent resolutions re-afirming the Topeka
constitution, and praying for admission under it.

5. Act repeating the bogus law under which the
Lecompton constitution was framed.
Act for submitting the whole Lecompton consti-
tuition to a vote of the people.
z. Act repeating the Rebellion law.
There is much censure cas-. upon the members that
taey did not provide for re-submitting the Topeka
constitution to the people. The public sentiment is
likely to force them into such an enactment at their
regular session, which commences on the fret Monday
m January.
