The Kansas Bill Passed.
The bill for the admission of Kansas


to the Union, with the Wyandotte Consti.
tuition, passed the House Of Representa-
tivcs finally on Wednesday, after much
less debate than had been anticipated, and
by the decisive vote of 1874 yeas to 70 nays.
The general impression is, that the bill
will pass the Senate also at an early day,
80 that by the 4th of July we shall proba-
bly, have another star to add to the Nation
al Flag, and Kansas, once a word preg-
nant of internal feuds, and fierce political
controversy, will be removed forever from
partisan disputations.
The bill as passed declares the State of
Kansas admitted into the Union under the
Wyandotte Constitution, Oh an equal foot
ing with the original States, in all respects
whatsoever. The boundaries begin at that
point Oh the eastern boundary of the Mis-
souri, where the 31th parallel of north lat
itudc crosses the same thence west, on
the said parallel to the 18th meridian of
longitude, west of Washington thence
north on that meridian to the 4Oth parallel
of latitude; thence cast on the said para
llcl to the western boudary of Missouri /;
thence south, with the western boundary
of that State, to the place of beginning.
Provision is made that the Indian rights
under existing treaties, shall not be i'm
paired, nor shall their territory be inclu.
dcd with the State until the Indians shall
signify their assent thereto. Until the next
general apportionmcnt, the State of Kan
sas shall be entitled to one member Of the
House of Representatives. The remain.
der of the bill contains the usual land pro.
