The Kansas Representatives have laid be-
fore the President to-day, seperate represen
tatiOn eff their cases asking especially for
Kansas, and urging the absurdity of placing
the State under the control Of a man like
Sehofsld. The President replied that he
didn't tsee but that the request fora separate
department was reasonable enough, and
they infer that he is likely to grantit.
The prospects for the Missouri delegation
are dubious. In what the President said on
topics involved in their address he left on
them an impression that be was not likely to
give up his support of Scho6sld. He told
them they were going faster in supporting his
policy of the emancipation than he cared to
go himself, and as to sehofeld, be said
that he hadn't seen much to blame
in him; that he had always Obeyed
o1ders. In particular, he had always
been prompt in sending re-inforcements
wherever they were wanted, which was more
than he could say of come other generals.
The committees from each Congressional
district of Missouri will wait upon the Pres
ident again to-morroW, to give speelhcatlons
and evidence as to their respective charges
against schofeld.
The delegation propose To remain here
either till they get the Presidents written
answer, or till they got some RSEe satisfae-
tory assurance of its favorable s4turs than
they have now.
At Secretary Ghase's this morning. they
called out the Secretary. He declined %

seeing Kansas and Missouri now eO-vOrkers,

dent, he was bound to say that he (Chase)

the command to Een who heartily symPa-
thized with him in the great ideaS that IN
