Mr.. Seward rose to speak, when Mr. Green
asked that the Kansas bill be taken, which vas
done.
Mr.. Seward yielded the floor.
Mr.. Green then moved that all prior orders
be postponed, and the report Of the Conference
Committee be considered, which motion was
carried, notwithstanding the earnest opposition
Of Ar. Stewart Of Michigan.
Mr.. Stewart then wanted to have the House
amendments, for which the substitute is pro-
posed. Et
Messrs Hunter, Green and Toombs objected.
The Chair (Mr Fitzpatrick) ruled that the
amendment could not be read.
Mr.. 8. appealed.
i Mr. Toombs moved to lay the appeal on the

on the table.

Mr.. Crittenden was not ready to pronounce
bis judgment on this question. He asked the
courtesy and justice Of the Senate that it be
postponed till Wednesday-lost BY yeas 20
nays 30.
| Mr.. Douglas spoke zealuosly in favor Of the
| postponement asked by the Senator who had
served the country with distinction before
some Of those who now refused h!s request were
born, showed that he asked it in no factious or
sinister view.
| Mr.. Green, in reply, declared the Senator vio-
lated no Parliamentary rule in proceeding. He
had not to vote on the bill now. The only
question for our discussion is whether the Sen
ate will or will not concur in the report Of the
Conference Committee.
| Mr. Seward said that as the Senator from
XIV, Mr.. Crittenden, the author Of the
amendments to the Senate BILL which we're
adopted by the House, he is parliamentary the
person bearing the responsibility OF great
measure, and should be accorded the brief post
ponement he requests. The opposition in the
Senate are no longer two or three. They ara
power. They can be heard, and must be heard.
| They have the same responsibilities and ac-
countabilites as the majority.
| Mr. Bell took many technical exceptions to
| the form Of the report.
| Mr.. Bright complained that the minority had
sprung new question. He maintained that
| they would look in vain for any precedent to
| prevent the majority from acting MS they pre-.
posed to do.
Mr. Mason replied to Mr.. Seward, urging that
expedency demands immediate action. and that
the country does not require that distracting
question should be kept open for the convenience
Of one Senator.
| Mr. Cameron retained an unpleasant remem-
brance Of the last night session, and did not
want another, and therefore moved that the
Senate adjourn.

seven, the Senate was wholly occupied in at
tempts to come to an understanding, and in de.
