The End of the Kansas Struggle in
Washington.
The final vote on the Kansas (English's)
bill was taken in both Houses on Friday last.
The bill was the majority report of the Com
mittee of Conference, known as the English
bill. In the Senate the yeas were 31, nays
108.
The following is the bill :
WHEREAS, The people of - Kansas did, by a
convention of delegates, assembled at Lecomp
ton on the seventh day of November, 1557,
for purpose, form for themselves a Constitu
tion and State Government, which Constitu
tion is republican in form.
AND WHEREAS, At the same time and place
the said Convention did adopt an ordinance,
which the said ordinance asserts that Kansas,
when admitted as a State, will have the un
doubted right to tax lands within her limits,
belonging to the United States, and propose
to relinquish the said asserted right, if cer
tain conditions set forth in said ordinance be
accepted and agreed to by the Congress of the
United States.
AND WHEREAS, The said Constitution and
ordinance have been presented to Congress
by the order of the said Convention, and ad
mission of the said Territory into the Union
thereon as a State is requested.
AND WHEREAS, The said ordinance is not
acceptable to Congress ; and it is desirable to
ascertain whether the people of Kansas con
cur in the changes in said ordinance herein
after stated, and desire admission into the
Union as a State as herein proposed.
Therefore, be it enacted, etc. ,
That the State
of Kansas be, and is hereby admitted into the
Union on an equal footing with the original
States, in all respects whatsoever; but upon
the fundamental condition of precedent, name
ly, that the question of admission with the
followinc , proposition, in lieu of the ordinance
framed at Lecompton, be submitted to the
vote of the people of Kansas, and assented to
by them or a majority of the voters voting at
the election to be held for that purpose; name
ly, that the following propositions be, and the
same are hereby offered to the said people of
Kansas for their acceptance or rejection,
which, if accepted, shall be obligatory upon
the United States and upon the said State of
Kansas, to wit:
First—That sections numbered sixteen and
thirty-six in every township . of public lands
in said State, and where either of said sec
tions, or any part thereof, has been sold or
otherwise disposed of, other lands, equivalent
thereto, and as contiguous as may be, shall
be granted to the said State fur the use of
schools.
Second—That seventy-two sections of land
shall be set apart and reserved for the use
and support of a State University, to be se
lected by the Governor of said State, subject
to the approval of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office, and to be appropriated
and applied in such manner as the Legisla
ture of the said State may prescribe for the
purpose aforesaid, but for no other furpose.
Third—That ten entire sections of land,
to be selected by the Governor of said State,
in legal subdivisions, shall be granted to said
State, for the purpose of completing the pub
lic buildings, or for the erection of others at
the seat of Government, under the direction
of the Legislature thereof.
Fourth—That all the salt springs within
the said State, not exceeding twelve in num
ber, with six sections of land adjoining, or as
contiguous as may be to each, shall be grant
ed to said State, for its use, the same to be se
lected by the Governor thereof, within one
year after the admission and said State, and
when so selected, to be used or disposed of on
such terms, conditions and regulations as the
Legislature shall direct. Provided, That no
salt springs, or land, the right whereof is
now vested in any individual or individuals,
or which may hereafter be confirmed or ad
judged by any individual or individuals, shall
by this article be granted to said State.
Fifth—That five per centum of the pro
ceeds of the sales of all public lands lying
within the said State, which shall be sold by
Congress after the admission of said State into
the Union, after deducting all expenses inci
dent to the same, shall be paid to'said State,
for the purpose of making public roads and
internal improvements, as the Legislature
shall direct. Provided, That the foregoing
propositions herein offered to the State of
Kansas shall never interfere with the prima
ry disposal of the lands of the United States,
or with any regulations Congress may find
necessary for securing title in said soil to bona
fide purchasers thereof, and that no tax shall
be imposed on laud belonging to the United
States, and that in no ease shall non resident
proprietors be taxed higher than residents.
Sixth—That the said State shall never tax
the lands or property of the United States in
that State.
At the said election the voting shall be by
ballot and by endorsing on his ballot, as each
voter may please, "proposition accepted," or
"proposition rejected." Should the majority,
of the votes cast be for the " proposition ac
cepted," the President of the United States as
soon as the fact is duly made known to him,
shall announce the same by proclamation, and
thereafter and without any further proceed
ings on the part or Congress, the admission
of the State of Kansas into the Union on an
equal footing with the original States, in all
respects whatever, shall be complte and abso
lute; and said State shall be entitled to one
member iu the House of Representatives in
the Congress of the United States until the
next census be taken by the federal Govern
ment. But, should a majority of the votes
cast for the proposition be rejected, it shall
be deemed and held that the people of Kan
sas do not desire admission into the Union
with said Constitution, under the conditions
set forth in said proposition : and in that
event the people of said Territory are here
by authorized and empowered to form for
themselves a Constitution and State Govern
ment by the name of the State of Kansas, ac
cording to the Federal Constitution, and may
elect delegates for that purpose whenever,
and not before, it is ascertained, by a census
duly and legally taken, that the population
of said Territory equals the ratio of represen
tation required for a member of the House of
Representatives of the United States and
whenever thereafter such delegates shall as
semble in Convention, they shall first deter
mine by a vote whether it is the wish of the
people of the proposed State to be admitted
into the Union at that time, and if so, shall
proceed to form a Constitution, and take all
necessary steps for the establishment of a
State government, in conformity with the
Federal Constitution, subject to such limita
tions and resolutions, as to the mode and
manner of its approval or ratificaton by the
people of the proposed State, as they may
have prescribed by law, and shall be entitled
to admission into the Union, as a State, under
such Constitution fairly and legally made,
with or without slavery, as such Constitution
may prescribe.
SEC. 2. And be it further enacted. That
for the purpose of insuring as far as possible,
that the elections authorized by this act may
be fair and free, the Governor, 'United States
District Attorney, and Secretary of the Ter
ritory of Kansas, and the presiding officers
of the two branches of its Legislature—name

serving peace and good order; or the said
board may, instead of said sheriffs and their

Interesting to Working-Men looking out

[Correipondenee of The Press.]
COUNCIL BLUFFS, lowa, April 10, 'SS
Permit me through the columns of The
Press to give a general response to numerous
letters received from various parts of Penn
sylvania, inquiring the present and future
prospects of our city and. western lowa,
chances for investment, &e. The past year's
experience has induced the belief that many
in writing arc influenced by merely idle cu
riosity; others too lazy to work, possessed of
a few hundred dollars, are sufficiently vision
ary to suppose the investment thereof in a
new country would, in a short period, "sweat
them out a fortune without labor on their
part." It is true the dreams of such might
possibly be realized by a "lucky strok,"
though it is the opinion of the writer, the
chances are against them. Observation and
experience have shown the folly of man's ef
forts to throw off the curse, "By the sweat
of thy brow shalt thou eat thy bread," &e.—
To those really desirous of emigrating,, and
resolved to bear manfully the slight and
temporary inconveniences of all new coun
tries, in posession of sufficient means to se
cure a home, or embark in business, I would
say the prospects of western lowa are suf
ficiently flattering to justify the small ex
pense required to make a tour of the coun
try, and satisfy themselves by personal ob
servation. It is seldom we hear of any one
returning East, after a short sojourn among
the fertile valleys of the West.
The Missouri slope, from the Missouri
State line to the northern borders of lowa, is
incomparably the most magnificent body of
land I ever beheld ; uplands and bottoms un
surpassed in fertility; every species of grain,
vegetables, and grasses reaching a high state
of perfection. This region is peculiarly adapt
ed for the rearing of stock, though, as yet,
few have given it their attention. The wild
grass of the prairies experience has shown
to be fully equal to timothy, blue grass, and
clover, and in sufficient abundance to render
die cultivation of grass a useless labor.for
several generations to come, Experiments
thus far made in rearing sheep have proved
very flattering. Wool-growing must eventu
ally prove a larger source of wealth to lowa
than any other pursuit. Flocks require little
or no attention ; free from diseases incident
to other climes, owing probably to the ex
treme dryness of the atmosphere. Any pur
suit tending to set aside labor becomes very
popular in the West. Send us the most in
dustrious man you can find, and in one year,
I venture the assertion, the larger portion of
his time will be spent in bed, or reclining on
the sunny side of a hill, scheming for a liv
ing by his wits, or dreaming of a good time
coming. This indolence is the only serious
malady peculiar to the climate, one for which
no panacea has yet been found. Chills and
fever, so common in all new settlements, are
rarely witnessed here. I have seen more
cases, in one season, in Illinois and Indiana,
than during five years' residence in Council
Bluffs ; the only plausible reason yet given
has been advanced by a Hoosier, who declares
we are too lazy to shake.
A better time than the present for emigra
ting West is not likely to occur again. The
" panic," which has proved so disastrous to
the old States, has forced the grasping specu
lator to bring into market some of the finest
lands in the State, improved and unim
proved, which the moneyed man can buy at
prices to suit himself.
Owing to the severity of the winters in
Wisconsin and Minnesota, many families from
those States are now seeking homes in lowa.
Kansas, overrun with adventurers, holds out
no inducements to men of small means,
choice lands being all occupied and held at
exorbitant prices. Nebraska, as is well known,
excepting the river counties, is fit only for
the wandering savage and buffalo; and these
counties seem -to be held in reserve for build
ing cities. In view of the Bluffs we have
Omaha, Florence, and Saratoga, the two for
mer separated by the distance of six miles ;
Saratoga in the centre, while all the ground
intorVening is laid off into lots, save a few
quarter-sections which, unfortunately for the
claimants, have been "jumped" for agricul
tural purposes. Bellrun and South Omaha
are sufficiently near to be eventually incorpo
rated with the rival " cities" already named.
Those desiring city lots will find at all times
a good supply in Nebraska.
Council Bluffs, located on the east side of
the river, in the State of lowa, stands with
out a rival, the terminus of the M. & M. R. It
crossing the centre of the State, by way of
Des Moines, the capital lowa City, Daven
port, and Chicago, comands the trade of a
country sufficient to build up, and sustain a
large and populous city. Wild speculation
having been avoided by our business men,
we have suffered comparatively but little
from the panic which desolated other places,
annihilating the imaginary fortunes of specu
lators. Good property can be purchased at
present at very low figures for cash. The
commencement of work, however, at this end
of the route, during the summer, will cause
a rapid advance, and present a rich field for
the capitalist and speculator. Mr. Farnham,
the contractor, is expected iu May, and seems
resolved to push this work through with
great energy. Money now readily commands
15 to 20 per cent., in some cases much high
er, owing to the character of the paper ; at
the rates named, ample security always given.
Our present population numbers 4,000—a
large accession expected this spring. We
have eighteen brick stores, from some of
which are sold at wholesale and retail, goods
to the amount of $200,000 annually. This
business, so immense fur a new country, is
owing to the fact that the trade of the coun
try is concentrated at one point, settlers here
having turned their attention to something
more solid than town building—the only vil
lage near us being Crescent City, of Latter
day Saints notoriety. The founder, Joel John
son, is a worthy man, save for his polygamist
propensities. Our city boasts of a hotel, the
Pacific llouse, four stories brick, erected by
S. Bayliss, Esq., and conducted by John
Jones, of Pennsylvania, who has succeeded
in establishing as enviable reputation. Few
more justly popular houses can be niet with
in the State. An additional hotel, erected
by J. S. Andrews, Esq., is rapidly approach
ing completion, at an expense of from sixty
to seventy thousand dollars. Mr. J. M. Palm
er, of Chester county, Pennsylvania, here
merits a passing notice. He is one of our
most enterprising citizens, and during a
short residence with us has erected several
of our finest blocks of stores, including a
hall, forty by eighty feet, an ornament as
well as a convenience to our city. Mr. Palm
er is one of that class of jovial old bachelors
occasionally found in our new settlements,
whose love for the public welfare outweighs
all selfish considerations. He has his reward
in the admiration and love of the ladies and
babies of Council Bluffs.
Our city boasts of three as ably conducted
weekly papers as can be found in any com
munity—two Democratic, one Republican.
The Methodists and Congregationalists have
each erected comfortable places fur worship.
Episcopalians and Presbyterians are expect
ed to finish during the summer fine churches,
the foundations of which have been already
laid. The liberality of our citizens in sup
porting churches is the best proof I can give
of their moral and religious character, tho'
it is true we have some very bard cases
among us, for whose conversion prayer is now
nightly offered in the Congregational church
—thus far without effect.
It may not be generally known that sever
al years since liberal donations of land were
made by Congress to aid in building four
railroads across the State of lowa. Work
on each is progressing finely, and we may
expect an early completion of the M. and M.
and B. and M. Roads, as loans have been ef
fected sufficient for the purpose. Any one
acquainted with the progress of railroads in
in Illinois may be enabled to form some idea
of the effects which these roads, when com
pleted, must exert upon the Missouri slope,
and especially upon Council Bluffs, which
bears the same relation to the west that Chi
cago does to the north of Illinois and the
lakes. Never, I again repeat, has there been
a more favorable period than the present for
securing lands and city property. Prices
are within the reach of the smallest capital
ists. Yours, J. S.
