WASHINGTON, April l3.

WASHINGTON, April l3.
SENATE--Several Executive communi-
cations of no general importance were re-
ceived.
The House act for the admission of Kansas
was read and referred to the Committee on
Territories.
Mr.. Fitch offered resolution directing the
proper acting officers of the Treasury to set
tie the accounts Of Randolph Clay, Minister
to Peru. Referred.
Mr.. Wilson's resolution is reference to the
suppression of the slave trade was referred
TO the Committee on Foreign Relations.
Mr.. Sumner presented supplementary
papers to the memorial of VIM. Sanborn,
containing authenticated copies of the writ
of hdbeas corpus in the case of his discharge
Mr.. Sumner alluded to the fact that there
was no resisting a mob, as previous stated in
the Senate, unless II was by the kidnapper
who arrested Mr.. Sanborn.
The special Committee knew that Ex-Gov.
Wise was in possession of important facts re-
lating to the Harper's Ferry affair, which he
would not disclose for rubies, and threw
down the challenge to the Committee and
the country that he would uot appear; yet
he was not summoned, and two Northern
men, who knew nothing about the affair,
were arrested and put in jail, and another
kidnapped.
Mr.. Mason said as far as he spoke of the
actions of the Committee the Senator knew
nothing of them. The Committee would
report in due time.
Mr.. Sumner replied that Mr.. Wise was moi
kidnapped or hand-cuffed, fact apparent tC
all. The papers and memorials were laid or
the table.
The bill amending the Patent law came up
Some verbal amendments were made.
AT one o'clock it was laid aside and the
private calender resumed.
The bill for the relief of David Myerle was
passed for $1,000.
The Senate went into Executive session
Adjourned.
h0USE-Mr. Carter from the Committee
on the District of Columbia, moved for au-
thority to employ a clerk. This being re-
fused he asked to be excused from serving
as the Chairman of the Committee.
Mr.. Burnett hoped this would not bt
granted, as the gentleman is now excited.
John Cochrane-Now that the anti-poly
gamy bill had passed, he entreated his frienC
to remain in his position. [Laughter.]
Mr.. Carter did not hear his colleagues
words, but his eloquence flowed like {
feather on the wave, leaving no wave be.
hind. [Laughter.] --.- ~.......

The Pryor aud Potter ninicnIty

WASHINGTON, April l3.-It is understood
that Mr.. Potter replied to Mr.. Pryor's first
note that he would receive any message that
might be sent him in the District
Mr.. Pryor asked him if he would accept a
challenge, to which Mr.. Potter replied he
would inform him whenever challenge
reached him. Mr. Pryor then sent him a
challenge, to which Mr.. Potter replied,
referring him to Col. Lander to make the
necessary arrangements. These terms, as
proposed by Col. Lander to 7. E. Chisman,
were, that Mr.. Potter, though disclaiming
allegiance to thA code, would fight Mr.. Pryor
in any place, in doors or out, in the District,
with Bowie-knives. This was declined, on
the ground that the weapons were barbarous
and inhumsn, and not usual among gentle
men.
To this Col. Lander replied that Mr.. Potter
detested the whole system of duelling as bar
barous and inhuman, but being called to
account for the exercise of free speech on the
floor of the House, he consented, not being
accustomed to the usual weapons of the duel
list, to meet him in way that would place
them on equal terms, and to name the time,
place and weapons; but as the weapons
named by Mr.. Potter were objected to, Col.
Lander, without Mr.. Potter's knowledge,
rendered himself to Mr.. Pryor without re-
striction, which was also declined on the
ground that he had no quarrel with Col.
Lander.
The correspondence between the friends of
Messrs. Potter and Pryor did not close until
this morning. 1t cannot be published until
Mr. Chisman, who was Mr.. Pryors principal
friend, can be seen and his consent obtained.
