The Senate took the final vote on the ad mission of Kansas under tho Lccompton Constitution on Wednesday, 33d Mnrch, af ter n debate almost unprecedented In dura tlon nnd Interest. Among tho speeches rm5ile against theldH was one'by Mr.Ifrod erlck, which la represented ns of much fire; and vigor. Mr. II. denounced tho repeal of; Mr. Orecn moved that Mr. Montgomery's the Mlronrl Compromise and vindicated I amendment bo disagreed to, and tho Senate labor from tho aspersions of Mr. Hammond, Sustained the resolution nnd adjourned over of South Carolina, who averted that nit till the filh Inst, manual laborers were slaves, whether white. in tho Scnato tho Committed on Tcrrlto- or black. He opposed the Lccompton Con! stltutlon, because he believed the charges of fraud In regard to that Instrument were ' wholly proven, and that It did not represent ' tho wishes of Kansas. j Mr. Crittenden, of Ky , spoke against the bill, aud offered on amendment sending the 1 Instrument lu the people of Kansas tobc tuiimitieti to a lair vote, una in case tne people adopted It, Kansas should come in by 1 proclamation of the President; If rejected, i a new convention should be calltd tojrnnie , a utw constitution, to bo submitted to thu peoplo for ratification or rejection. This was rated down, and tho bill named 33 uyee to 2.1 noes. Ilroderick, Douglas and Ptifth, Dems., nnd Messrs. Hell, of Tcnu., and Crlttcsden, of Ky., Amer., voted In the negative ; Messrs. Hales, Davis nnd Held were ah-scut, and Mr. Cameron, of Pa., did; not vote, hav.tug pnlretl off with Mr, Davis. ! Mr. Pugh voted against tho bill, under In 1 alructlonsfrom the Ohio Legislature, ngalnst his own sentiments. Mr. Houston voted for it ngiilnst his own views, In deference to in structions of tho legislature of Texas, lie fore tbo passage of tho bill It was amended t? "'". ."

This bill was inttothe Iloitto, where lis merit were iuiv.utn.-u nioro or less nil .pru ist, wiicr. 1 tho hour of one o'clock having arrived. Mr. (Stevens, according to previous understand ing, moved to tako the Kansas bill from Iho table. It was taken up and read oncomore. Mr. (ildillngs objected to a second reading, nnd the question recurred back, shall the bill bo rejected ? Mr. Stevens demanded I the ayes and nnys, which wero taken, and tho bill was not rejected j ayes OS, nays 133. I Tho bill was then read a second time. Mr. Stevens gave way to Mr. Montgomery, who offered the Crittenden substitute, amended in a few Immaterial particulars. On this motion enrao the tug of wnr. Mr. Critten den, of Miss., offered a substitute, an amend ment to Mr. Montgomery's amendment, which was tho ramo as the Senate bill with tho omission of the clause declaring the power of the people of Knnias to chango their constitution nt any time. Mr. Stevens deminded the previous question SuUtl- Into was rejected ayes 72, noes 130. The remit was applauded In the gallery. The House then proceeded to vote on Mr. Montgomery's motion to substitute the Crittenden bill for tho Senate bill. Tbo motion prevailed yeas 120, nays 112. On the following vote which was to pass the Kansas bill as thus amended, Ibe vote was tbo same. Thus terminated the long Kansas struggle in the Hour-. The afiirmatlvo vote Included al the Itepublicans, and tho following Dem ocrats nnd Americans, viz : McKibben, or Cal Morris, Harris, Shaw, rtoberts, Smith, and Sainl Marshall, orill.; Eugllsli, Foley, aud J. G. Davis, of la.; Underwood und Humphrey Marshall, of Ky,; Hlcard, Har ris, and Davis, of Md.; Adrian, of N. J.; Golman, of N. C; Clark und Haskln of N. Y.j Hamilton, Ciroesbeck, Ccckerlll, Paul Cos and Lawrence of Ohio, and Jones, Hick man nnd Montgomery of Pa. Only ono member, Caruthere, of Mo was absent on thla important vote. Of tho ayes, 02 were Hep., 22 Dera., and C Americans, making 120. Of the nays, 101 were Dem. and 8 Amer.; making 112. Tho bill was sent back to the Senate, where that body refused to concur In the amendments, Whether the House will ad here to its amendments, or propose a con ference committee, remains to be seen. It Is generally believed that the difference be tween the two Houses Is so radical that the House -will not propose a conference com- imlttee, but simply adhere to Its action, and let the bill fall. While these things are going on at Wajh ington, Kansas, by tho authority of the Ter ritorial Legislature, baa called a convention. which is In session at Leavenworth, framing ! n new constitution. Gen. Lane was elected President, which position he resigned after the first day, and Judge Conway was elected In his stead. Nothing had been done by tho convention at latest date, beyond the appointment of committees. In tbo Scuate, on the 231b March, the bill lo admit Minaeeits was sreeadrd to at to allow ono member of the Houso of Repris ' sentatlrcs the one having the highest num ber of votes; but ono hereafter if tho cen sus Immediately taken shows that tho State Is cntltlod to no more. Mr, Douglass presented to the Senate, on i tho 8th ult,, tho Constitution of Oregon, nnd a petition for the organUution of the Tcr I rltory of Dacotah. Tho Sennto discussed tho volunteer army bill. On Mr. Hunter's motion, tho number of regiments provided for was reduced from fi to 3 one of them being for tho protection of tho Texan frontier. The bill thus amen ded, and slightly altered in other respects, was pMC(! by a vote of 41 to 31. Pending this discussion the Kansas bill came back from tho House. Subsequently, ries rcfusid to unanimously report a bill for i the organization of Arizona. A contract has been entered Into for an , Iminvdlnto weekly mail to Suit Lake, and a ' monthly mall to Sacramento, with the right 'on tho part of tho Postmaster General to 1 make the latter weekly.

Those Hlack Republicans and Know Nothings, who have beeu predU eating their calculations or the success or their respective parties, at the next election, upon the probable dlvlslou or the Democracy in next summer's State Convention, have slipped up awfully. The Legislature bos postponed tho election of Congressmen, nnd I of Clerk of the Supreme Court, to tho gen eral election or 1600. As there Is nothing ' this year but a Judge or Ibe Supreme Court to nominate, It la thought that the ussem bllng or a Convention may be dispensed with, if tonic other equally fair and satisfac tory plan to nominate can bo fixed upon.
