To bis great surprise and disappointment, be

The Senator from Pennsylvania was griev
ously embarrassed. He was apprehensive that
if he announced Miss Colon's presence, the gal

was.
Mr. Buchanan did not like to expose the re

alternative, however, and be bad to state that

be lost, so Mr. Buchanan, in a timid and
apologetic manner, ventured to observe that
“the lady could very well wait till the President
had shaved himselt.” The General saw what
he was driving at, and shook his frizzled head
at him like the mane of an enraged lion. “Bu

man, “did you ever hear of the man in Ken

Without stopping to say whether he was ac
quainted with the remarkable person in ques

the hero ot New Orleans entered the room with

The Kansas Discussion
Has at length fairly opened in the Senate,
and four days of last week were consumed
thereon. Senators Green, Seward and Col-
lamer have spoken, and it is not improbable
that most of the freesoil Senators will seek a
hearing, if for no other purpose than to inter
pose every possible delay to the passage of the
bill. Its final success, however, does not ap
pear to be much doubted in any quarter. It
will go through, and when “ bleeding Kansas”
shall finally be received within the fo'd of the
Federal Union, a universal sigh of relief will
go up from every quietly disposed citizen of
the country. Nothing but stern moral princi
ple—professional dignity—proverbial sobriety
or some other restraining influence, will keep
the press out of a frolic over that happy deliv
erance, and by common consent, Kansas aud
her bleeding heroes, humbugs and braggarts
will be consigned to eternal oblivion. So mote
it be.

A General Bankrupt Law.
A Washington despatch of tho 4th instant, says:
•Senator Toombs, from tho Committee on thaJudici-
ry, will to-morrow give notice of a bill fora general
nnd uniform system of bankruptcy throughout tho
United States for the protection of creditors, the re
lief of insolvent debtors, and to regulate the com
mercial intercourse of the citizens of different States,
including banks and all corporations; and as near as
I can now ascertain, it will contain both voluntary
and involuiitary bAikruptcy, and will compel both
individuals and corporations to pay their debts or bo
come bankrupt. There oan bo no more suspension
of specie payments by the banks. It will no doubt
provide with eare against all frauds or preferences,
and compel an honest division of all the bankrupt’s
property among the creditors. Tlie measure is de
cidedly popular here, and all agree it is in the very
best hands for its sucoets. It is regurded as of great
interest here, and inay take the place of shrieking
