THE ARMY BILL AGAIN UNDE CONSIDRRATION—A CONFERENCE COMMITTEE APPOINT#D—LETTER FKOM GEN, SMITH ON KANSAS AFFAIRS, ETO. Wasinnaton. Aug. 27, 1856, ‘The Senate has put the Army bill again upon its legs, by insisting on its disagreement to the House proviso and appointing a Committee of Conference. This gives the ‘House two more votes on the bill: one to insist aud Lave 4 Committee of Conference, and one on the report of that committeo. If there be any disposition on the part of the House to pass this appropriation, an opportunity will thus be offered. This action of the Senate was oppose! by Messrs, Durkeo, Foster, Harlan, Trumbull, Wade and Wilson, the free soil Senators. Mr. Weiler called up his bill to repeal the obnoxiour laws of Kangas, but it was tabled, together with Senator Wilson's nigger amendment. The Senate considered that the provisions of this bill had beea passed and were now before the House. It was useless to send them there in duplicate, Senator Crittenden eoncluded not to cali up kis bill to day. Gon, Cass read two letters trom Gen. Smith, now com- manding the army ef the West, which gave the lie direct to all the despatches from Kansas. One of them was as follows. Fort Lravenworrn, Aug. 11, 166. Coronst S. Cooper, ADJUTANT GENERAL, Univep STATES Amys Corenzt—I have received a letter from Governor Shan- non, asking me to take the field with the whole disposa- ble force in the Territory, to prevent the ingress of Lane's party by the northern boundary of the Territory.

Some of the comvanics along the Kansas were scot by the commanding oflicer there, at the Governor’s request, to break up camps of armed men at saveral places he designated. On the arrival of the troops at the points designated, not only were no camps found, but noue had ever existed there, or anywhere else in the neighborhood, L know that each party is trying to engage the action of the troops in e! g their adversaries, and I place no dependence on the reports that do not come from what I consider good authority. Your obedient servant PERSIFER F, SMITH. Brevet Major General Commanding Department. Mr. Wilson delivered to-day one of his abolition ha- rapgues, defending the action of the House of Repre- sentatives, and contending that it would be no stretch of censtitutional power to authorize the President to use the military force to protect persons and property on the bighways leading to Kansas. Mr. Benjamin, of Louisiana, followed, and reviewed the whole subject of disagreement between the two houses. He dared to say that the object of the republican party was civil war—nothing more nor lese; and civil war it would be, if Con- gress adjourned before passing the army Appropriation bill. Paralyze the military arm m Kansas, and that soi) would soon be red with blood. Then would the North be filled with Mark Anthonys, pointing to these bleeding wounds, and appealing to the whole North to avenge their countrymen, Mr, Clayton addressed the Senate for some time in explanation, but approved in the main of Mr, Benjamin’s positions, The joint resolution for a fina! adjournment to-morrow, ‘at three o'clock, passed by the House of Representatives, will be rejected by the Senate. The Senate will not ad journ until the difficulty is removed- a Mr. Wheeler, of N. Y., moved to-day to instruct the Committee of Ways and Means to report apother bil! wWitbout the Kansas proviso, and on this motion called the previous question. On a call ef the ayes and nays for asecond to the call for the previous question, the House stood nivety-four to pinety-three, when the Speak er yoted in the negative aud defeated the second for the previous question by making the votoatie. The object of Mr. wheeler will be gained by the Senate’s action on the bill, which was to revive it. The Committee of Conference is composed of the follow- tng names:--Messrs. Hunter, of Virginia; Bigler, of Pen- eylvania; and Crittenden, of Kentucky, of the Senate; Messrs, Campbell, of Ohio; Stephens, of Georgia; and Sherman, of Ohio, of the House. They met this after- noon, but, without coming to any determination, adjourn- ed till eight o’clock this evening. There is no prospect of their agreeing. The democrats think themselves strong enough to pass the bill without the proviso, They hear they have gained three votes since yesterday, ‘The report that the President was ill is without foun- dation, as your correspondent met him this evening on the avenue.

Senate. Wasinwoton, Ang. 27, 1866, Mr, Cass, (dom,) of Mich., presented letters from Gen- Porsifor F, Smith, which he obtained at the War Dopart- ment, giving an aceount Of the movements of the United ‘States troops in Kansas, The letters were read, General Smith states that the reporta which bave een going the rounds of the newspapers are gross fabrica- tions, and that the troops have not done anything to in- terfere with the citizens except to guard the prisouers charged with treason. The Senate proceeded to consider the bill jntroduced yesterday by Mr. Weller, to repeal certain laws of the Kansas Legislature. Mr. Hewrer, (dem ) of Va., stated that the Senate had alreadytpassed bills containing the same provisions as this and senttbem to the House. He eaid that while the Sevate on one band is willing to certain laws which they believe to the constitution of the United ‘States, a majority of the House would not consent to act ‘thus partially, unless they could at the same time ropeal a great many more of then. It was thus manifestly im. possible that this bill couldever become a law, the only effect of continuing debate on it would be to delay the action of Sepaie on the Co bill, ana perbaps another political . There pony ene ‘The political issuos were alroady well cedped the people. The senate had already twice expressed its optpion op this point. Ho would therefore move in order to get up the Army bill, now on the table, tbat this bill be laid on the table.

The Senator from umetta proy ao amendment to the bill which he (Wilson) knew could ne. ver receive the sanction of a mah whom he PF to facili chamber with attempts to load it down with amendments, so as to prevent ite passage, he had no fur- ther compromise to offer. He had no exaai ings ogainst the House, but the matter bad now become ‘8 contest of physical endurance, and be was content w Sr eae eaves which house would yield. Mr. Huster renewed his motion Jo lay the bill om the table.

Mr. Hunter stated that the bill "as tho + fi ‘upon which the two houses disagreed at t'1e adjoui ‘the last which wore unsuccessful; but th the the House was to ngheré to Sg ) Senate amendment, ho was wi'ting to give the Honse as many chances to vote upon ais question as they could have, and he theretore moved that tho Senate insist, ask another conference. | mentary right to make Foot, wil MORNING EDITION—THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1856, awoy all grov'ad of objection that the Senate had not shown a r degree of courtesy towards the House, This would give {be House two wore o| junities to vote upon the quest'on. When the bill should go back to the House, if there sould be « majority in that body in favor of passing the bill in the usual form, they would have an opportunity to regede, or if another Committee of Conference should appointed, and he unable to agree, when that fact should be reported to the House, there would still bea chance to take ancther vote upon re- ceding. Thus they would have ample opportuuity to re consider what he could not belp regarding as au unwise and hasty determination upon their part to persist in a Proposition to which the Senate could never agr°e. Mr. Bait, (vational) of Tenn., said Be should vote for the motion of Mr. Hunter with great pica- eure; but he rose principally tor the parpose o correcting an crroneous impression whish seemed to have prevailed! in some quarters with reference to hi- remarks on a formor occasion with regard to this bill. Ic had been thought that he was will to recede, but he expressed po such opaton, although he earnestly cov tended that the Senate ought to insist and ask a Com mittee of Conference instead ot adhering. He took thiv opportunity to ask Mr. Cass whether he understoed from those letters which ne had caused to be read this morn- ing there were at this time no disturbances in Kansas, ir. CAss ceplied that they were the latest official re- turns that had been received at the War Department, and they showed what bad been the conduct of the miliary there. Asto the subsequent telegraptic reports, there might be some foundation for them, although it was very = that the actual condition of things was exagge- n Mr. Bet eaid, twice before he had been le1 to suppose all the difficulties were terminated from information de rived from the executive departmonts, and from officers in command tn Kanras, that there were ample forces there to suppress all disordem Upon both those occa- sions, however, it turned out tbat he had been deceived, and he did not wish to be deceived again. If difficulties stil exist there, as he was afraid was the case, bo hoped that measures would be taken to restore tranquillity, and he hailed with pleasure the movewent of the Seoator from Virginia, aiaaladed for another Committee of Confereuce on this bill. Mr. Crayton, (K. N.) of Del., war glad to hear the mo- don of the Senator from Virginia, but he thought it would have been much better start right and pursue a straightforward course than to go wrovg and have w back out, The majority of the Senate were wrong the other day when they undertook to adhere to their disagree- ment on a bill precisely !ike this, and he hoped they would now agree to another Committee of Confeereace. He proceeded to comment with much severity on what he termed the infamous laws of the Kansas Logis!ature, saying they should be ropealed before the adjournment of Congress, and if the Sena'e refuse to take that step the responsibility must rest upon them. One of these laws sentenced aman to hard labor, for not less than two years, for discussing the question whether slavery does or does not legaily exist in Kansas. It was not less thao two years, but it might be fifty years, and {fa maa should live to the Vy ot Methuraleh, he might be conflaed nine hundred and oid years for that olfence. This was as tyrannical an act as was ever passed by the Stuarts, ‘udors, or Plantagenets of England. Thee laws also re- So to support the itive slave law, and there were hundreds of honest men inthe Union who, while they never intended to resist that law, would never take an oath to support it. Such laws as these he charac terized as infamous and oppressive, and there were others as bad as these, and unless the Committee of Conference thonid go the whole length and repeal these abominable laws, the responsibility of refusing wit! reat upon the Se- pate as well as the House. Mr. Wison, (nigger worshipper.) of Mass."read extracts from the Congressional Globe of debates in former years upon freeman ‘Dills to show that the course of the House in inserting the Kansas proviso, was ueither unprecedent- ed nor unperliamentary, and that the Senator from Vir- inia himself (Hunter) had voted for measures of general legislation when tnserted in appropriation billa, Then there was ho pretence that euch action was rere, or factiour, but Low the cry is raised that the respensthitity of defeating the army bill my rest upon the Houre of Representatives in consequet of its proviso, to which the Senate refuses to agree. The Senator from Virginia the other day moved to adhere, and said he was willing to let the issue go before the country aad take the res- poneibility; but now the majority dared not accept that issue, and were willing to ask another conferesce, and that Senator took the lead and mace the moion. This was neither more nor less than backing out, and it show- ed their position was untenable. He proceeded to read extracts fiom articles written id James Madison in the Federalist, to show it was the right of the House to re- fure appropriations unices their equality as one branch of the national latnre was cont by tbe Senste. ‘The motion of Mr Hunter was then agreed to, by yeas 03; nays, €—Messra.
