SENATE.—Mr.

Mr. Welier introduced the bill of which he gave notice yesterday* to abrogate certain law,** c^tacleii Jtf ll^e Legislature of

K*Wener

Biggs desired that I'.te bill be referred to the Committee on Territories, but withdrew hi9 molten to enable Wilson to offer an amendment adding a section declaring null and void the one hundred and fifty-first chapter of the laws of Kansas, being an act to punish offenses against 6lnve property, together with such other provisions of said laws as recognizc or protect slavery as a legalized institution in that Territory, together with all provisions to establish official oaths other than those specified in the organic act, or which require any test with regard to slavery and the Fugitive Slave law to be applied to Attorneys and Jurors, or which suspend the right of habeas corpus, or which allow any other than actual residents of that Territory to vote, or which ailow Jurors to be selected in any other manner than by lot, or which punish citizens uf that Territory by chaining them together and exposing them to labor on the public works, or causing balU and chains of iron to be attached to tbem.

It also further declares that it i5 the deliberate opinion of Congress that all persons under arrest in that Territory and under intliclment for treeaon or political offenses, are wrongfully detained, and orders their immediate release. It directs the Governor of Kansas to order an election it* that. Territory on the Tuesday succeeding tho first Mondaj in November next, at which time all persons who were actual bona fide residents of the Territory on the 1st of May, 1856, shall be entitled to a vote and be eligible for election. Members of both branches of Legislature uhnll be chosen according to enumeration. A delegate to Congress shall also be chosen, Sheriffs, Probate Judges, Oi/ifctv Commissioners, Clerks, Recorders, Vtc. False swearing at any election is declared perjury, to be punished by imprisonment for not lesa than three nor more than twelve months and by a fine of not less than one hundred nor more than five hundred dollars, and ten days after the election ell persons chosen shall be ehgiblo to enter upon their duties lo the exclusion of all other persops now claiming such authority.

Bayard regarded Miller's bili of no more effect than a declaration of right*, and os nuch could not vote for It, but under no circumstance could he sanction any proposition which would bring him in conflict with the Judiciary or their action as to the legality of particular laws.

He could never consent to any proposition to modify or restrain the power vested bv the Constitution in the Executive.

Such laws ho was willing by a declaration of rights lo abrogate, because that Was* the only way in which Congress could act but tlir proposition of the House to prevent their execution by the Pre*idrnt without wiping their, out of the Statute Book, could be defended on no sound principles of Constitutional legislation.

Mason voted lor and approved tho bill passed Mav, 1856, to organize Nebraska and Kansas, because it gave the people the right to regulate their Domestic affairs in their own w«y. Thi« hill proposed to undo that work and prescribe how far they should be free to make their own Institutions, and in what respect they should bo thus free. This proposition did not meet his approbation. It seemed to be introduced now as conceasion to the House, which had engraft •d a measure they knew to be obnoxious to the Senate upon almost every one of the ap-prop-iation bills, and insisted upon it to the defeat of that making provision for the army. He would move to lay upon the table every proposition of that kind, iintil those who were endeavoring to carry into effect their revolutionary purposes should be reducea to submission, and be forced to desist from their efforts to overturn the Government. After the arn.y bill was passed, if it should pass at all, he would listen wilh great respect to such propositions, and deliberate upon their propriety, but never until then would he entertain the subject for a Jno-

mHc moved that the bill and amendment be tabled. «. .• Welier urged him to withdraw his motion.

Gen. Peraifer

VVASHISGTOK, Aug. 2?|

SENATE-—Mr.

Cass presented letters from

Smith, which he had ob

tained from the War department, giving an account of the movement of the troops in Kansas. They were read.

Gen. Smith states that the reports which have been going the rounds of the newspapers are gross fabrications that the troops have not done anything to interfere with the citizens except to guard the prisoners charged with treason.

The Senate then proceeded to consider the bill introduced yesterday by VVeller to repeal certain laws of the Kansas Legislature.

Hunter stated that the Senate had already twice passed bills containing the snme provisions as this, and sent them to the House, and they were defeated, because they contained other matter to which the House objected. He said, while the Senate on one hand is willing to repeal certain lawa which they believe contrary to the Constitution ot the United States, a majority of the House would not consent 10 act thus parlinlly unless they could at the same time repeal many more of them. It was thus manifestly impossible that this bill could ever become a law, and the only effect of debate upon it would be to delay the action of tho Senate. He would therefore move to lay the bill upon the table.

Welier asked him to withdrnw his motion to allow him to mak^ a few remarks, and Hunter acquiesced

gard for their opinions he was eompelW t«

House, but the matter had now heroine

Hunter renewed hie motion to lay the bill on the table—agreed to by 23 against 11. The Senate then proceeded to consider the Army bill.

Hunter stated that this was the bill upon which the two Houses disagreed at ihe close) of the last session.

There had been the re-conference upon it,

Cass replied that they were the latest official returns which had been received ot the War Department, and they showed what had been the conduct of the military there. As to the subsequent telegraphic reports, there might be some foundation for them, although it was very probable that the actual condition of things waa exaggerated.

Bell laid he had twice before been led to suppose that all difficulties were terminated, from information derived from the Executive department*, and from officers in command in Kansas, that there were ample forces there to suppress all diswrdor. Upon both of those occasions, however, it had turned out he had been deceived and did not wish to be deceive# again. If difficulties still exist there, as he was afraid was the case, he hoped that measures would bo taken to restore 'tranquility, and he hailed with pleasure the movements of the Senator from Virginia. for another Committee of Conference on thii* bill.

accounts agree that thero

is much suffering in the territory of Utah on accountof the devastation commuted by the grasshoppers. A letter to the St Louis Republican, from a party of returned Californians, who have reached Independence, Mo., by the way of tho salt Lake, saysthat provisions were stmrceUind high, and much suffering was experienced by the Mormons .the past year, many having lived on roots aud other such food. Thove area great many very poor and degraded peoplo in the valley. The Mormon authorities are afraid of tho United Stolen troops, and have great diflioulty in preventing the woman from going off with them i'hen they leave. On the ovorland route buffalo were very numerous, Indians friendly and tho emigration to California quite large. It is ascertained that at a point where the north and south roads meet, fifteen thousand cattle have passed on their way west. All tho parties were in the enjoyment of good health and spirits, and from the appearenoe of tilings on the road, would go through with satisfaction themselves, as grass in the valley of the Humboldt was better than it had ever been before.

Fremont, stock is on the increaso in Pensylvania, and it would not be at all surmising to us to seo a largo majority in that Sate for the Pathfinder in November.— T'*e Buchananites are trembling already. We have received the following letter from Philadelphia, touching the movements of parties in the West, and giving a note taken atone of tho hotels in Philadelphia.—JV.
