    TETJUETJLL'S BILL.
. Washington, June 9.
Senate. The debate -was monopo-.-.lizcd
by Douglass and Trumbull, and
. . involved the principles of the Kansas
. -Nebraska ' act. Trumbull explained
'that his only object of the bill was to
extend the' Territorial Government of
' Nebraska over Kansas, and abolish
the present government of the latter
..." . Territory, and the laws made by their
. Legislature. He thought this propo
. eition was worthy of some considera
tion, as a state of; things- existed in
.'Kansas which. all good men must de
' ' plorc 'He did not care about having
; th'e bill referred, as'that' would with
' ' . draw it from the 'Consideration of the
. Senate. ' . .
m : Mr- Douglas hoped hat , the bill
. " " -.would be referred to the Committee on
Territories, who would report on. it an
.."'"early day. :It involved some grave
questions, but h& was glad to see that
; the opponent's of the Nebraska Bill
. were beginning to. acknowledge .the
.principle of -that measure. The -laws
of Nebraska were made. by the people
. .of Nebraska, and "the larws of Kansas
ly.th'e people of: .Kansas.' But the
: proposition n'ow'to" be.' abolished was
' ' .. the lawmade by the people qi Kansas
.-;.' 'for their new Government, .and placing
. "them under the laws of Nebraska,
. 'which they had no voice in making: ,
. ' Mr. Trumbull said, that so far from
. acknowledging the principle of the
. ' Nebraska bill, he: did not believe that
- . . . ' there was any principle in it. It was
' ' understood one way at the North and
" . i .another at the South. He would admit
... that this bill to annex' Kansas to Ne-
. ' " braska wa'3- no such measure". He re
' '. garded the repeal of .the Missouri
'.' Compromise', as the source of all the
mischiefj hd; would be glad to restore
" V things to-their former position. .This
".'was a temporary .expedient, not iri-
' "tended to carry .out hispwn wishes
" fully. He meant to occupy 6or;serva-
.' tive grounds upon 'this question, and
was willing to. yield to', something for
Y.m ". peace; he. was srry to. see. strife "in
. Kansas, and 'was anxious that some
" measure should be tadopted to restore
''... peae jn that unhappy Territory. .

have peace and quietness. restored to

A decision of much importance in
reference to pre-emptions has just been
rendered. By the twelfth section of
the act .of 4th September, 1841, all
assignments and transfers of the right
of pre-emption, under that act prior to
the issuing of the patent are declared
null and void.' By the act approved
22d March,4 1852, persons entitled to
a pre-emption right are authorized to
use military bounty land warrants in
payment for this land, at the rate of
1 dollar 25c per acre; and by the act
of 1852 such warrants and all valid
f locations of the same are declared to
be assignable: .' ' ' .
The question having been recently
raisedwhether the assignable character
to. these warrants, ' and the location
thereof by the law of 1852, ' operated
as a repeal .of the restriction in rela
tion to the assignment of a pre-emp-,
tion under tho act of 5th September,
1841,- where such .pre-emption was
secured by the application of a, warrant
in payment therefor, the decision is
that the proviso in the act of 1852,
which authorizes the use of a, warrant
in payment for a pre-emption, was in
tended only to make such warrant in
the hands of a prc-empter equivalent
to so much cash, and not to make it
technically a- 'location assignable
under the provisions of .the act of
1841, which prohibits any assignment
of right. n ashingfon Mar.
STATE EO QMS IN CAES-
- Some of the cars manufactured by
theBuflalo Car Company for. the Illi
nois Central railroad, have had new
features- introduced into them. One
of them contains six state-rooms, each
room having two seats with cushioned
backs, long enough for a person to lie
upon. The backs of the seats are hung
with hinges at the upper edge, so that
ihey may be turned up at pleasure,
thus forming two single berths, one
over the other, where persons may
sleep with all the comfort imaginable.
In one end of the 'car is a small wash
room, with marble w'ash-bowl, looking-
glass,- etc. . On the opposite side of
the car from, the stale-rooms, -is a row
of seats with revolving backs, similar
to barber's chairs, so arranged that the
occupant may sit straight or recline in
an easy attitude at pleasure. Other
cars have each two or three similar
state-rooms, the . remainder of the car
being furnished with seats f the usual
kind. With cars of this kind railroad
ing will soon become as easy and com
fortable as riding upon our , luxurious
steamers.-

The steamer Star of the West reached
bur landing -Tuesday, having on board
about seventy-five emigrants for Kan
sas, said to be from the Northern States.
These men it seems, were armed, and
when the boat reached Lexington, the
citizens of that -place took their arms
from them, and gave a receipt for the
same.
The boat. went forward on its trip,
and reached Kansas City, where these
emigrants were refused the privilege
of disembarking.. They then came on
o Leavenworth City, and it was deci
ded that they should not land at that
place, and consequently they had to
come to Weston. It was finally; ar
ranged that they ehbuld bo shipped
backhand on yesterday morning the
btar oi the N est raised steam and Bet
sail for its downward trip, with its
Northern freight , on board. But where
her intended to land them -we are
not advised, but suppose at Alton, "01.
The treatment of these Northern
men raises - a grave question for the
consideration of every- man who has
an interest in the welfare of this'coun-
ry: Are the' citizens of other States
to" be deprived of their right to emi
grate to Kansas? Are the principles
of the Kansas , bill to be nullmed, and
bands of men stationed '.along the
border to demand a pass-word before
the citizens of a neighboring btate can
have the privilege of going into that
Territory. If this be the principle of
he Kansas bill, we. . shall be the last
man on the irre en earth to endorse it.
The whole proceeding is an outrage,
and cannot be defended upon any
correct principles, and the consequence
will be most disastrous to the whole
country. . : .
But the effect to be produced upon
Northern. sentiment is what we most
deprecate, for no man .well informed,
will dare deny that the contest tor-the
Presidency is between the Democrats
and the Black Republicans, and while
the Northern democracy are struggling
as a strong man with death, 'to beat
down the Black Republicans, men who
profess to be the friends and supporters
of the democratic party, are guilty of
acts upon the borders of Kansas, which
alone will advance the cause of the
Black-Republicans. Against such a
course of policy, we enter our protest,
and appeal to the good men of all
parties to rebuke this wild, and blind
folly of a few men whose acts are doing
more to abolitionize Kansas than even
the Kansas Aid-Societies of Boston.

rUPOETAITT FE02I KANSAS.
From gentlemen who had arrived in
this .city yesterday from Kansas, we
derive several items of very interest
ing information. The first and most
unexpected, is the resignation by Gov.
Shannon of his nffice of Governor of
the Territory of Kansas, to take effect,
it is said, on, the first of July Of the
immediate causes which led to this
surrender of his office, we are not ad
vised, but we presume he found . it va
very aimcuit matter to suit uoiu purues
in the Territory and probably incurred
the displeasure of each.
We learn, further, that Mr. Gay,the
agent of the Shawnee and Wyandotte
tribe of Indians, was murdered ""on
Saturday evening "last, under ' circum
stances of peculiar atrocity. . He left
Westport,-in this State, in the evening,
to go to his -Agency, .and where his
family reside. . He was accompanied
by his Son, having but . one horse be
tween' them, and agreeing to "ride and
tie." When one or two miles out from
Westpbrt, they were accosted by three
men, who demanded- who they were
and what they were? Mr. Gay ans
wered that he was "from Michigan,"
and would give no other answer. - There.
upon the party commenced firing upon
them. The son was : upon the horse,
and received a wound in the thigh, but
made his escape by jumping over the
fence into a corn-field, and returning
to Westport. The father was shot
lead, receiving several wounds one
in the head which proved iatal. He
is said to have made a manly resistance
to the attack of his murderers, but was
overpowered by them. The key of his
safe with which place of security for
the money of the Department he had
been furnished by the Superintendant
at this place was found in his right
Hand pocket, the left hand pocket was
turned inside out. in the struggle.' The
body of Mr. Gay was buried on Mon
day last, but up to that time no dis
covery had been made of his murder

We recollect hearing Dr. Dewey
long before the English poet sang . of
the "good time coming" predict that
the steam-whistle, instead of its ear
piercing screech, would, in process of
time, be made to produce music as
pleasing as the tonea of wind-harp or
bugle; and it seems that this .devoutly-to-be-wished
consummation is about
to be realized; for we learn from the
Worcester Transcript, that a few everi
ings since, that city and the country
five miles around was saluted by strains
of music, "loud, clear, and somewhat
singular," produced by a Steam Musi
cal Instrument, the "Marseilles Hymn,"
"Life on the Ocean wave," "Sweet
Home," "Susannah," "Old Hundred,"
and a full programme of other pieces,
following each other in quick succes
sion. The inventor of, this instrument
is a Mr. Stoddard, a worthy mechanic
of Worcester. The editor of the Tran
script thinks that such an achievement
ought -to induce Brass Bands . and
