KANSAS is 4 State that it will pay long
leancd politicians to watch. 1t was
here that the war for slavery was re-
uearsed in miniature in 1856. 1t was
chere that the temperance agitators first
had the boldness to begin war against
'ar greater evil than savery-intemper-
"Roe-by asking the people 10 put pro,
iilbIti0n into the Constitution Of the
STATE. The people of Kansas did as
hey were asked, and adopted the most
;igring novelty in the way of Constitu
~i0aal amendment that was ever tried.
The execution of the prohibitory
amendment has been attended with the
inevitable and expected difficulties, OBJ
.rtacles and discouragements. Through
IL these Gov. st. John has been invar-
ably plucky, resolute and uncompromis-
'ng. No soldier on the BATTLE field ever
-'eeded, or showed, greater courage and
'ndurance- Opposition has only made
aim the more determined and heroic. In
tact, he had fought SO hard and was so
r@uch of q g fanatic on the liquor ques-
ION, that his denomination by the Re-
rablicaus was regarded as doubtful-es-
.ieeially as he has had two successive
.crms. But the same Republican Con-
Eention that endorsed the Presidents
veto Of "the big divide" had the pluck
% rerGminate Gov. st. Joi.s. tor third
eriG. This shows that in Kansas the
..ePublican party exists for other pur-
,ose& than to elect Congressman to get
Ill the spells within ti,air reach and to
'iiEide with such constituents as will Sc
.g're their reelection.

XLVIIth Congress-1st Session.
HOUSE.

w AsHlNGJONt April u
Mr.. Ellis of La, presented memorial OF
the mayor and several commercial bodies OF
New Orleans, praying for congressional action
on the Mississippi levee bill Referred.
On motion of Mr.. Randall of Pennsylv ania,
bill was passed, relieving from the charge OF
desertion soldiers in the volunteer service
during the late war, on proof that they served
faithfully until the expiration of their term OF
enlistment, or until May 1, 1865, but who
failed to be mustered sout and receive honora-
BILE discharge.
Mr.. Blackburn of Kentucky, offered reso-
luton directing the committee on expenditures
in the War Department to inquire if any
abuses exist or have existed in adjudication OF
claims in the Quartermaster Generals, Com
missary Generals and Third Auditors offices,
and report their findings, together with such
recommendation as it may deem proper in the
settlement of such claims.
Mr.. Robson of New Jersey, offered as a
substitute a similar resolution, but with a pre-
amble reciting that it had been asserted on the
floor of the House by member that he had
evidence in his possession which showed that
certain clerks of the government had acted
fraudulently and coIruptly.
Mr.. Robson advocated his substitute, de-
claripg that he was not willing to order an in
vestigation on mere idle rumors, but after de-
bate he modified his preamble SO as to read,
"Whereas, it has been publicly declared by a
member of this House, on this floor, that there
are reasonable grounds to believe" etc. This
was accepted by Mr.. Blackburn, as an amend
ment to his resolution, which was thereon
adopted.
The House, at 2,05, went into committee Of
the whole on the tariff commission bill
Mr.. Haskell advocated the passage of the
bill, and made an exhaustive argument in sup
port of the protective system.
The committee, at 80, rose, and the House
took recess until 7.30, the evening sessi on be-
ing for consideration of pdnsion hills.
But q few members were present when the
House met at 7.30. After passing II pension
bills the House, at $40, adjourned.
