THE ARM:, BILI
The fate of the Army bill in the Senate,
has given ground for serious tears regarding
the result of the Mormon war. The laws of
the United States have been set at nought by
Brigham Young and his followers, and all their
doctrines and actions are in direct antagonism
to the social principles of the age. Martial
force seems to be the only power which can
bring these people to their senses, yet the
Senate refuses the means of war. It cannot
be denied that this rebellion promises to be a
most troublesome one. The position of the
MorMons is one of great advantage. In the
mountainous region which they occupy, an in
ferior force might for weeks defy an army of
evcni sunerier members, They are a well pre•
pared and powerful foe, acquainted with all the
appl anees of modern warfare. They are or
ganind, equipped, and well acquainted with
the country, and they seem determined to per
sist in their attitude of rebellion. They have
also knade friendships with the Indian tribes
around them All these considerations pre
sent themselves in contemplating the nerease
demanded by the Army Bill.
According to the act of 18511, our army at
present is 18151 men. This force is spread
over a vast territory, stretching from the
western shore of Lake Superior to the Rio
Grande, jocks ing Oregon, Kansas, Minnesota,
Utab, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas, Califor
nia, Washington Territory, Missouri and
Florida. In most of these districts troops
are required for the protection of settlers, and
yet if the army is not in some way increased,
troops must be withdrawn from places where
their services are needed, to suppress this Mor
mon rebellion.
We are opposed to all unnecessary disbucse
men't of the public money, but this seems to
be a'casc of necessity. The fate of that little
band of warriors, who are on the way to
to maintain the dignity of our national laws
in that distant region, depends upon Con
gress. They can grant or withhold the relief
required by the War Depa , tment, and recom
mended by the President a• d Commander in
Chief. It is neither just nor humane to per
mit this little band of soldiers to re: , ain in its
present dangerouo position. We have no ote,
ject',on to a proviso to the bill, that the extra
troops shall be disbanded when their services
are no longer necessary, but prompt provis
sion for the emergency is necessary, for the
embarrassments and dangers of this Mormon
campaign are daily on the increase.

Mr. William Seidea, of Washington, has
beet' appointed Marshall of the District,—
Thilt is the most important local office in the
place, as the incumbent discharges all the du.

aggregate, after coming from the hands of the
Committee of Ways and Means. The bill will
be celled up next week.
Man is naturally a grumbling animal, but
from' the universal grumble all over the coun
try about gas, we are inclined to think that
there must he a screw loose in the meters
somewhere or somehow. In a communication
to the New York Times, Robert Prince, of
Brooklyn, asserts that all the gas meters made
in that city for the gas companies are design
edly constructed to indicate a consumption
of about fifteen per cent, of gas greater than
the real amount. About fifteen years ago he
became interested with a manufacturer of gas
meters, whieh were made with indices that
truly indicated the amount consumed, but
the gas companies would not purchase them,
consequently the manufacturer was obliged to
give up the business, or attach false indices to
his meters. He now works to the orders of
these companies. For our part we never could
understand bow a gas meter should always
register correctly, any more than that a watch
or a clock should always keep time correctly.
One of the most needful mechanical inventions
is a correct, reliable, and understandable gas
measurer, and it is to be hoped that some ge
nius will invent one in his inventive age.

Report of the K. 8.1181111 'iv ia:tigation Com-
WASHINGTON, March 10.—The views of the
majority of the Kansas committee, which Mr
Stephens is about to publish on his own respon
sibility, not having obtained consent to presen
it in the House, sets ont by saying that, the sub
ject matter to which attention should be directed
was:
First—The law for taking the census of the
people. Second—The law calling the convention.
Third—The registry of the voters and the appor
tionment under it. Fourth—The assembling of
the convention and its journal. Fifth—The con
stitution so made, Sixth—The official vote on
the ratification of the subject submitted. Say
euth—The committee filed, not deeming it mate
rial, the act of December last, providing tor a
vote for or against the slavery clause on 4th Jan
uary. Eighth—The official announcement of
that vote, and, ninth—The written statement of
Gen. Calhoun in relation to the registry of votes,
etc.,---but which sheds no light on the snlject.
The report Bays that these facts show great
regularity, and stegt conformity to law ; and
that no State heretofore applying for admission
has shown as clear a record.
No objection to the admission of 11(01938 arises
on the usual inquiries—first,as to the application,
secondly, as to the regularity of the proceedings;
and thirdly, whether the constitution is republi
can in form.
The report then auswdre the objections, going
very fully into a reply to Gov. Walker's argu
ment, founded on his assumptiop that the validi
ty of every Htate constituti•u depends on its hav
ing received the sanction of a popular vote.--
This assumption is denied, as not being sustain
ed by i•riaciple or authority.
Sovereigily, Governor Walker says, is inali
enable, and rests exclusively with the people—
This is granted, but the report says it dues not
follow th,t sovereign ; Power cannot be delegated.
The formation of a constitution requires the t•x
erc ise of :s.overeigu power ; but SO does the emu
inonet act of Legislature If the one can he
delegated, so can the other. All the constitu
tions of the old States wei e uride by cony n
lions without ratifications except that of Massa
chusetts.
The constitution of the United States was rat
ified by State conventions, and never by the pop
ular vote. The amendments to it are to be con
curred in by State Legislatures, and not by the
popular vote, to give them validity. If Uov.
Walker's doctrine is correct we should be with
out State constitutions or laws in half of the
States or' the Polon. The objection that at en
abling act is necessary iv also atm tiered, and
shown t be untenable, both in principle and au
thority.
The question relative to the regiatry and ap
pointment is very fully treated. The charge that
nineteen counties were disfranchised is com
pletely Itu.,wered. There are but thirty-four or
griniied coup tios in Kansas. Twenty one of these
were represented. tZine of the thirteen in rep
resented counties have very little porn:dation. In
seven of them not a vote was oast at the Jan
uary election against the constitution. Iu two
others of the nine less than one hundred votes
were thrown ; and iu the four remaining, namely:
Franklin, Anderson, Coffee and Breckenridge,
there were but eleven and thirty-five. In these
four counties the officers were prevented from
making a registry.
The report also shows, from the registry and
apportionment, together with the official returns,
that at the fourth of January election, the five
counties of Leven worth, Atchison, Douglas,
Douiphan and Jefferson, cast five thousand one
hundred and eighteen votes, which is a majority
of the whole vote cast throughout the territory
against the constitution. And yet all these coun
ties were reg'stered and represented in the con
vention, having thirty-s:z of the sixty delegates
of which the convention was composed.
If it ha true that the opponents of the consti
nation were so largely in the majority in those
counties, and so violent in their opposition, why
did they not elect men to form a constitution
more to their liking 1 They had within four votes
of two-thirds of the convention ; why, then, did
they fail to act at the proper time ? Their re
fusal, therefore, did not invalidate the just, fait
and legal action of the convention.
The resolution under which the committee war
appointed, directed them to inquire whether the
Lecempton constitution is acceptable and satis
factory to the people ? The repk to this is, that the only correct test is the b_a4rot-box, and such
an expression of the popular will as is there
given at the proper time and place, according to
law. By this test the con dilution was adopted
by an overwhelming majority of those who joined
in the election. These only can be considered
as the bona fide citizens of Konsas. Others why,
abstained are male fide residents, who went to
Kansas for mischief and strife. They are sell
acknowledged outlaws, and . are not to be con
sidered as constituent elements of community
or society, against which they are in open re
hellion.
But on the 4th of January, at the election for
State otlic , -rs under the constitution, more than
12,000 voters in Kansas did go to the polls, and
thus showed conclusively that at least four-fifths
of the voters of that territory were willing to
vote for the election of State officers under the
constitution. This shows that the constitution
was not only acceptable, but that it has been ac
cepted by at least four-fifths of the voters of
that Territory, though not entirely satisfactory
to all of them.
The committee declined to go into an inveeti
gatiou of the alleged frauds at the January elec
tion for state officers fur want of jurieditcion of
the House over the subject. They say they can
no more investigate frauds relating to the elec
tion of State officers in Kansas than in any other
State. Those matters are to be inquired into by
other appropriate legitimate tribunals. If tbo
seat of the member of Congress elected to this
house he contested on the ground of alleged
frauds, the House would have jurisdiction over
that question, but nut as to frauds in the election
of Governor or members of the Legislature of
Kansas.
The report concludes with a recommendation
for the admission of the State of Kansas, in pur
nuance of the views of the President, believing
the welfare and prosperity of the people of Kan
sas, as well as the general welfare, peace and
harmony of the whole Union will thereby be pro
moted.
It is ascertained that about twenty-five more
speeches are to be delivered in the Senate on the
Kansas bill, but notwithstanding this, it is sup
posed the vote will be taken next week. Those
made in the house to-day on the same subject
were read from manuscript. Fifty members at
least still desire to get the floor to express their
views on Kansas matters.

arguing the first point, he referred to the conditions
and workings of the Missouri Compromise. Be nex ,
briefly corroborated Mr. Benjamin's argument that
slavery was the common law of England, quoting
authority for his positions. He also referred to the
Dred Scott decision, the principal dogma of which
he denounced as the most dangerous aggression on
the Constitution erer enunciated. Proceeding to
the narration of the Kansas frauds, he alluded to the
alleged fact that the first Legislature of Kansa; had
passed the whole code of the Missouri laws, with
several pages of additional inforouus laws of their
own concocting. . .
Mr. Poik asked hint to mini out one law identical
with the code of ,Mie,ouri.
Mr. Chandler said he had nut the code of Mbsouri
before Min, but he undertook to affirm that the whole
code was enacted.
Mr. Polk—Specify one.
Mr. Chandler was not familiar with the Missouri

Mr. Polk—l would like to hear the proof.
Mr. Chandler said he could prove it by the evi

The Speaker announce d ' the pending question lobe
an appeal taken by Harris, of Illinois, from a decis
ion of the chair, that he could not road the journal
and statements of the Kansas Committee, to thow
that the Committee had not executed the order of the
House, for the reason that the minority could cot
make a report from the Committee, and that it was
no question of privilege.
Mr. Ht.rris said that nothing but imperative duty
compelled him to raise the question. It was not
done rashly. He and others of the minority do not
propose to make a report from the Committee, tint
merely to show that other members of the Coat
tee have disobeyed the order of the House. Tney,
the minority, report uu bill for legislative action.
Tho substantive proposition is that the privilege,: of
the House have been infringed, and the minutes of
the Committee are pert of that report ; therefore
they had a right to refer to or produce those mit - Rites.
Ile quoted authorities showing that the House may
entertain such movement as a question of privi'ege.
Mr. Stephens contended that the tnaj trity unlit

whether the Committee kayo executed the ord r

been fully executed. II the report is nut satisfactory
to the House, let teem discharge the "Jomittittee, re•

was ready to meet the issue, but was opposed to this
sideway of overturning the rules and orders of the

It is revolutionary ; it etr l:os at the foundation

the Committee was instructed to inquire into ali the
facts connected with the adoption of Lecomptom and
whether said Constitution was satisfactory to a ma
jority of the legal voters of Kansas.
Mr. Stephens rose to a point of order.
Mr. cirow eaid that it came with a bad grace from
Mr. Stephena, who had been indulging in the utamet
latitude of debate.
Mr. Stephens replied that he had confined himself
strictly to the question before the House. If Mr.
Grow wanted to go into an investigation of what the
Committee had done, he was ready.
Mr. Grow said that parliamentary law requires
that a majority of the friends of the measures b,•. put
on the Committee, but the presiding officer luf on
a majority of opponents.
Mr. Winslow called order.
The Speaker said that the question was delicate,
as Mr. Grow was commenting on the action of the
Chair.
Mr. Grow resumed, saying if the majority of the
Committee violate the order of the House, how is , he
House to take action to ascertain the fact unless , by
the statement of one or more members of the Com
mittee.
Mr. Stephens said he was ready to show, when the
report comes up that the Committee examined every
material fact.
Mr. Grow replied that the Committee had no din_
cretion. They are directed to investigate all the
Mr. English asked how they were to know whether
the Committee had executed the order of the Iliuse
under the present aspect of the case. Tho gentle
man from Illinois says that the Committee halo not
done so.
Mr. Stephens takes precisely the opposite ground.
He thought that the proper way was to submit the
official record, which he understood embraced the
entire action of the Committee, including the report
of the majority ; let each branch of the Committee
put in their papers.
Mr. Quitman called to order saying that he v.as
ready to show that the Committee haJdone their
duty.
The Speaker said the reports could be received by
general consent, and it would be proper fur the
House to ta:re such action as they think proper.
Mr. English appealed to all sides of the House to
receive the papers, and fix a day for their conaidera
tion.
Mr. Washburne, of Maine, objected.
Mr. ilarris, of Maryland, offered a proposition
that each branch of the Committee present their pa.
pers and postpone further consideration till Tuesday.
Mr. Underwood offered a similar propu , ition, both
of which were objected to.
Mr. Campbell suggested to Mr. English to affix the
proviso that no amendment be made to the report of
the majority in the form of a bill to admit Kansas
so long as any five persons of the Committee desired
that it be heard on the facts.
Mr. Colfax asked that Mr. English modify his
proposition so as to call only for an official report of
the Committee proceedings.
Mr. Stephens did not know that any official journal
was kept. There was no clerk ; no journal road to
the Committee that the gentlemen understood to be
an official report, but one was kept. Mr. Stephens
said he never heard it read, and he did not call it
official, unless sanctioned by tho Committee.
Mr. Morrill suggested an informal submission of
the reports, and pending it, that the question be
poned to Friday next.
Mr. Washbnrno explained why he objected to Mr.
English's proposition. lie thought that if the House
adopt the report of the majority, with a proposition
for the admission of Kansas, it would amount to he..
gislative action.
Mr. Stephens said it was not the object of the Com
mittee to append the bill, on joint resolution, for the
admission of Kansas.
Mr. Washburne. of Moine—You 0 . -e to y 014 ra
port introduced into the records of the Cetumitte.e.
Mr. Stephens—l stand upon the rights of the Com
mittee.
Mr. Adrian said they were approaching a definite
point. The great excitement hal passed off. If
Mr. English's proposltka was correct, it ought to be
adopted.
Mr. Engllsh asked for unanimous consent that
Messre. Stephens and Harris be permitted t.) present
their reports. They might be printed, but not with
bill 'or pint resolution appended.
Mr. James, of Tennessee, moved that the pending
appeal be kid upon the table, which was negatived
by 109 against 111.
Mr Harris said that his proposition embraced the
case fairly and fully. Would Mr. Stephens or
ii•Jy IlLer member of the Committee object to the
loin,rity hereafter presenting their v'ews in a re
port?
Mr. Stephens said ho Would not.
Mr. 1-mcher said ho would not object 1.4, Mr. Harris
making a report in a regular way, but he objected
that the minority should take chances with a de
murrer, and when that fails take another chance by
making a report.
Mr. Harris claimed nothing at the handa.of the
majority of the Committee, but as they expressed
anxiety for a proposition on which all could• unite,
he submitted the nri , ppsition as one of fairnoss, but
apprehending objection, he w.mld call attention to
the subject now, if Mr. Lowlier and his friends had
determined on their course. His course was fixed.
He then withdrew his appeal, saying that as übjec•
Hon had been made to the presentation of the minority
report, he would let the majority take their chanties
for the introduction of their report.
The House then adjourned till Monday.

Mr.
ST. Louts, March 11.—Thu Council Bluffs Eagle,
of the 3d, says that Mr. Winegate had just armed
from Salt Lake, having loft there January 25th. lie
rep,rts no mow in Salt Lake Valley, and but very
little on the mountains. He came by a route known
only to the Mormons, across the mountains, by
which horseman in single file can pass an army un.
dicovered. The route passes between perpendiculer
rocks for thirteen miles, and in many places is
only three foot wide, and c mipletely covered by a
rock roof.
From U ',all
The Mormons are manufacturing small cannon,
with percussion locks and telescopic sights, which
will carry two pound balls one hundred and twenty
yards, and with much more certainty than the com
mon rifle. They are also manufacturing five bun
dred revolvers weekly. Coarse powder, for mining
purposes, is also being manufactured.
A skirmish had occurred' between the Mormons
and a picket guard of the army, in which two of the
former were killed, and four of the latter were re
ported killed.
Erigham Young says ho is willing that the civil
officers o: the Go -, erntnent should come to the Ter
ritory and enter upon their duties, bat that if the
army attempts to enter the valley it will be resisted.
On the 24th of January, Young preached to nine
thousand people, all of whom rose when he requested
it,•scytng, "All in favor of giving the troops hell,
A letter from Capt. Marcy, dated Texas, January
24,, says ho was fifty-seven days in making the trip
of two hundred miles, and encountered snow from
too to five feet deep. He made only thirty miles i , ,
ten days, and lived on starved mules eleven days.
One man perished, and many were badly frozen.
Out of sixty-six mules, forty-four were lost.
The steamer Lady Walton arrived from Jefferson
Barracks yesterday, with two hundred troops from
Fort Smith. The steamer Arkansas, with two hun
drod additional troops for the same port, sunk one
hundred and sixty miles below Cairo. It has not yet
been ascertained whether any lives are lost or not.
The troops belonged to the Seventh Regiment of
Infantry, and were destined for Utah.
John W. Wood was nominated by the Democratic
Convention of the Seventh Congressional District, to
succeed Samuel Caruthers,
Court Martial of Sumner.
CARLISLE, March 12.—C01. Harris testified that
neither he nor Sumner construed the note to Harney
to be a challenge, and Sumner had selected nu
friends. Sumner submit ed a defense to the acts
specified as offenses not the product of sudden emer
gency or expression of passion, but the result of
deliberate consideration and conviction from absolute
necessity. The charges were met in detail, and he
denied that ho made a personal affair of an official
matter in the Court at Leavenworth. Harney had
declared that he bad before charged the accused with
ungentlemanlike and unofficorlike conduct and false-
hood. When appealed to to relieve the accused from
those accusations, he wrapped himself up,,in the
silence of insinuation. Sumner denied that the letter
Was intended as a challenge, but said that it was au
invitation to leave the District of Columbia in order
to examine the cause of the difficulty and make repa
ration to the accused, He condemned the practice
of duelling, but held that circumstances might occur
to render it necessary.
The Court then went into secret session, which was
very short. The Judge Advocate proceeded lin
mediately to WasLington with the papers.

Fever and Ague
A Oise of Eight Monthe Standing Cured by Der.
hare's !jitters.—Michael Kelly, No. 117
seventh street, near Grant, says :
" Last July, while running on the river, on a cot
ton boat plying between Natther. and New Orleans, I
was taken with fever and ague. Fur eight long
months I suffered with this dreadful disease. The
greater part of this time I was unable to work, and
spent at least fifty dollars for different medicines, but
found no permanent relief. Three weeks ago, one
of my friends insisted upon my trying BCERHA E'S
HOLLAND BITTERS, saying that a cure was guarun

a sound than. I have been at work now for two
weeks, and havo had no return of the chills and
fever whatever."
