Among the absentees were three, one half of our delegation, viz: Messrs. Aiken, Keitt and McQueen. Probably some of them had paired off with the opponents of the bill.
Since writing the above, we learn from the Mercury that Mr. Aiken had paired off with an opponent of the bill, but was warmly in favor of it: Mr. McQueen was absent on account of indisposition in his family; and Mr. Keitt did not vote.
The Nebraska Kansas bill passed the Senate without amendment, at a late hour of Thursday night, and it is understood that the President was ready to sign it, the bill is doubtless a law before this.
