ADMISSION OF KANSAS.

The bill for the admission Of Kansas into the
Union as State has passed the House of Repre-
sentatives by large majority. All the Northern
Representatives, Democratic and Black Republi-
cam with three exceptions, voted for its passage.
This is the third attempt Kansas has made to get
into the Union, under as many different Constitu-
tions. The first one was Black Republican move
ment, as far back as the session of 1866. But
the thing was SO irregular and informal that the
Senate rejected it without moments hesitation
The next was the aLecomptonn Constitution,
which Kansas presented as the basis of her admis-
sion, and which gave rise to the great Democratic
imbroglio In Congress, and all over the country,
which is raging yet. This was Pro.slayery Con-
stitution, and was favored by the Administration
and the Democracy generally But sufficient
number of Northern Democrats united with the
Black Republicans to prevent the passage of the
bill in the House, although it had previously re-
ceived the sanction of the Senate.
The English Compromise u bill was then pro-
posed and passed, by which it was stipulated that
when Kansas had population equal to that
which is necessary for q Representative in Con-
gress-to be decided by census of the people,
legally taken-she should be entitled to admission.
She comes now and claims admission, but she has
not complied with the condition. She has had no
census taken. Her population, exclusive of the
Pixies Peak country, (Which is asking for a
separate Territorial organization) is estimated by
good judges at not over sixty thousand-very
little more than half the requisite number. More
over the territorial boundaries are not definitely
fixed, as was also required by the English bill
Her admission, under these circumstances, would
be violation Of the law it stands, and for this
reason is opposed by the Representatives of the
South
The bill will be defeated in the Senate but
even if successful there, will be met with an Elk
ecutive veto. The President, having approved thu
English bill, cannot without the grossest incon
| sistency, give his sanction to measure which il
in direct conflict with its provisions. The Repub
| licans know this very well; but they no doub
| suppose some party advantage may be gained b.
| a reproduction of the Kansas drama upon th
stage. Itreally seems that we are never to hay,
the last Of Kansas. For six years it has kept thu
nation in ferment, and it bids fair to keep it u
for six years to come.

Mrs. WooDs BENEFIT.-Last night the Varieties
was well filled, notwithstanding the state of the
streets and weather. The piece, Woman and
Artistic, Y was well selected for benefit Of pop
ular actress and as it was it's first presentation to
New Orleans public, slight sketch of it may not
be uninteresting. Miss Anne Bracegirdle (Mrs.
Woody is a distinguished tragedienne in London.
Mr.. John Burgess (Mr. Morris0 is an old lawyer
from the interior, who calls upon Miss Bracegirdle
in very unceremonious manner, to inquire about
his son, whom he had sent to London to study law.
The son, Justinida Burgess alr Davenport,) had
visited the theater become desperately enamored
of Miss Bracegrdle, actress, and instead of study
ing law, had devoted his time to watching her
movements, and writing daily for her piece of
poetry.
The old gentleman having through a friend
learned the state of affairs, comes in haste to the
metropolis and forces his way, as we have said,
into the presence of Miss B, to upbrad her for the
folly of his son and demand where he is to be found
Miss B. in the meantime has become highly inter-
ested in the daily poetcal billets-doux. She dis
covers through the father that the authors his son.
and is quite captivated with the appearance of that
son, when the father spies him across the street
w
However, she promises the old gentleman to break
the son of his fondness and send him to his books
again. The young man is summoned to her pres
ence, and then the scene which she DISCUSSES her
feelings and character, in order to disgust him
with her assumed frivolity and heartlessness, was
rendered to the manifest delight of the audience.
Especially her lawyers speech to the jury called
down thunders of applause and merrment
She succeeded, and the young man is thoroughly
disgusted, though at the sacrifice of her own hap
piness, especially when she learns that he was the
unknown who had the evening before saved her
from the attack of two ruffians. The father finally
relents. She recalls the son. Her conduct is ex
planned and reconciliation effected. Not only ir

The following singular circumstance, re-
lated in German journal, is worthy as SER
wing as pendant to that of the famous dog of
Montargis @'i -
A wealthy tanner, named Kruntz, resi-
ding in the neighborhood of SIM, in the
Archduchy Of Austria, was in the habit of
making journeys several times year to sell
his goods and enter into contracts tor sup
plies of different kinds. These routes geae-
rally occupied him about ten days or fort
night. On the 18th of October last he star
ted, as usual, but on the same night his wife
and son were surprised at hearing his cab
riolet come up to the door, and their sur
prise was changed into horror in finding in
the vehicle the lifeless body Of the tanner,
weltering in his blood The horse, finding
himself at liberty he'd returned home.
The authorities made inquiries, but with
out leading to the discovery of the murder
er. The tanner had with him large and
powerful dog, but as the animal was fasten-
ed under the cabriolet he could not render
any assistance, to his master. After the
death Of the tanner, his son young man Of
twenty years of age, took on himself the
management of the business, and like his
father, made the usual journeys. About a
fortnight ago, in, passing near q roadside

A gambler known as Mountain Jack per-

large number of the carnival jewellers had
assembled. A drunken fellow, dressed in
Indian costume, rode horse into the bar.

while at the bar, another drunken fellow
climbed into the saddle. Mountain Jack,
as his name indicates, is giant in size, six
feet seven inches high, finely proportional,
and possessed of enormous strength, even
beyond his colossal proportions. He was at
that time on a spree, and although like
most large men, naturally good natured, is
when under the influence of liquor, perfect
ly wild, reckless and untamable. A play
full fancy seized him at the moment, and,
STOPPING over the horse, he placed his right
arm around his belly just behind the fore
legs. and lifted the animal off his legs, RI
der and all, and threw them heavily upon
the floor, with shock that Jared the whole
house. On finding himself down, the horse
refused to get up, and the giant again laid
hold of him and set him upon his pins, in
order to release the bruised and helpless RI
der, who had fallen partly under the beast,
End who considered himself lucky to escape
without broken bones. Later i'll the day
Jack got to throwing tumblers promiscu-
ously and was arrested by the united efforts

Of strife and danger came,
And HENkY's eloquence had stirr'd

Beneath yon oak trees shade,
Should meet beside the diamond spring
Such solemn tryste they made.
Oh there was sorrow meath the roof

And burning tears fell thick and fast
When from their homes they went;
But to their little ones they said,
And babe them we'll take heed,

Rode forth at closing day
And saw Virginia's armed host
Approach in firm array,
And knew the bearing of their chief,

Had fought with him at Braddock's side
When blood fell down like rain.
Then, leaping from his lofty steed,
He clasp'd him to his breast,
And, one by one, each soldiers hand
