SATURDAY, Jan. &c.
The new Secretary of the Treasury has been
examining the debts and assets and found that
at least twenty millions Of dollars must be
speedily provided for. Morrilrs tariff bill is
now before a select committee Of the Senate,
and the committee is now in session upon it.
This bill provides for loan Of twenty mil
lions and either that or treasury notes must
be resorted to- There is some doubt wheth-
er it will be deemed advisable to enact new
tariff while so many States are unrepresented.
Yesterday the grand jury of this District

If the South OF any Of the States, or the peo-

Virginia has almost suggested it not quite.
She suggests a convention, which is constitu-

not take that way. If convention is want

at this time, is not the best body to tinker

KANSAS ADMITTED. - BY reference to the
congressional proceedings Of Monday, it will
be seen that the House passed the bill for the
admission Of Kansas, as amended by the Sen
ate, by a vote of III to AZ. Nothing but the
signature of the President to the bill is now
necessary TO invest Kansas with all the sove-
reignty Of a State, and to exclude her as an
exciting topic in political and congressional
discussions. The Wyandott Constitution,
under which Kansas is admitted, contains a
perpetual prohibition Of slavery. On the 9th
of Dec 1859, the following officers were cleo
ted, and will assume the State government
as soon as notice of the admission of the
State shall reach them

ant Governor, j. ?. Root Secretary of State,
