The BnrDGE.-The proceedings Of our City
Council show that the Fathers" have at length
preached the allimportant question of Bridge
across the Lafourche at this point, and appropria-
ted the snug little sum of Five Thousand Dollars
towards aiding in its construction This looks like
something is really intended to be done. If the
parish will appropriate like amount W feel well
assured that the residue can be easily obtained by
subscription among the planters, merchants, and
others interested. Money invested in this enter
prise will pay larger percentage than in any other
business in which capital can be Employed. Aplan
Of the Bridge may be seen at our office from and
after Monday next.

News ITEMs-A telegraphic dispatch received
by the N. 0. Crescent, bearing date Washington,
Dec. 4h states that the President received tele-
graphic dispatch yesterday from Gov. Shannon, of
Kansas Territory, calling for aid to suppress the
serious outbreak between the pro-slavey and anti
slavery parties in Kansas. The President imme-
diately ordered troops from the nearest points to
preserve the peace Affairs in Kansas have as
sumed very serious aspect Both parties seem
determined to fight it out.
Another dispatch Of the same date states that
our affairs with England are unchanged, SO far as
the Government dispatches by the Atlantic throw
any light upon the subject. Mr.. Buchanan says
that the British Cabinet is endeavoring to patch up
a-eply to our Government in reference to the
violation Of the neutrality laws.
The proposal Of Denmark to substitute an ad
caIorsm taxation onlcargoes for the present Sound
dues, Is rejected by our Government.

SENATOR TRUMBULL, OF lLLINo1s.-This gen.
tleman, who was elected by the Legislature of
Illinois, to succeed Gen. Shields, whose term
expired last March, is likely it is said, to have
difficulty in getting his seat in the Senate He
was elected to the House of Representatives be-
fore his election to the Senate, and it appears
that the Governor of Illinois refuses him creden-
tails for either place. The ground alleged is,
that the constitution of Ohio makes a State
judge ineligible to any Office whatever during
the term for which he was elected, and during
stated period thereafter. Mr.. Trumbull was
q State judge, whose term has not expired-or
had not expired when he was elected to either
place.
The question isa serious one, if made and will
involve the inquiry whether State constitution
or State laws can require any qualification for a
Senator in Congress, more than those fixed in
the constitution of the United States. That
which the United States constitution requires is,
that Senator shall have attained the age of
| thirty years, shall have been for nine years a
citizen of the United States, and Shall be when
elected an inhabitant Of the State for which he
is chosen.
Can the State require that man should be
thirty-fve years Of age. that he should have
been citizen Of the United States for twelve
years, or that he shall be citizen or resident
of any particular part of the State? And if
they should so require, would the seat of man
having the qualifications recited in the coustitu-
ton of the United States be vacated, because he
did not have the other qualifications imposed by
the State? If not, the reason is just as good
against disqualification imposed by State in
actment, for having held judgeship, or any
other post or position not within the definition
of Senator, made in the U. S. Constitution.
We apprehend that the U. S. Senate will not
exclude Judge Trumbull on this account, par
ticularly as the State Legislature, in exercising
their undoubted power to elect have given their
own version of the true construction of their
own constitution. The want of credentials may
be an obstacle to the admission of a Senator to
a seat he claims. We do not undertake to give
an opinion upon the extent to which this fact
may be made to affect the right of reception, or
in what way the Senator elect may supply the
want of the voucher; but the current of opin-
ion and decision heretofore has been that the
States cannot require of their Representatives
or Senators conditions of eligibility beyond those
defined in the United States Constitution

ASTOUNDING MAIL ROBBERY.

WE have already mentioned that q
man named Stone had been arrested at
Elmira, New York, on the charge Of rob.
bing the mail. II appears that an old
man, named Gates, had the contract to
convey the mail to and from the cars,
and that he allowed his son, a wild and
frolicksome youth, 10 handle the bags.
This youth, il is alleged. conspired with
Stone, who was employed in a livery sta.
Bile, and perpetrated a series Of robber.
les for a year past, throwing the ri1ed
bags into privy. The New York Sun
says:
Stone, it appears, though. he had made
money enough in this way to come to
New York, engaged o partner, and was
going into business on very hne cash
capital. He made Gates-his drinking
acc omplice--promise, when he left home
to rob no more mails but Gates, getting
short. undertook "bag," one night, on
his own hook, and either being drunk OF
interrupted, left letters scattered about
the privy, which. being found by chill
dren next day, were reported to the post
master. The privy was searched. and
from its vaults were fshcd up sixteen
mail bags. and any quantity Of letters
In one bag was found a $50 900 draft
in smother, - 900 in money, overlooked
Gates got but 81 900 in the bag he rob
bed, and loft some $1,000 in it. Gate'
confessed all. but Stone denies every
thing.

MISSOURI POLITICS.

TIE new Legislatute Of this State was
o organised Of Jefferson City, on Tuesday
last. No party has majority. the wings
and Anti. Ben,ons being about equal.
and each out. numbering the Bentonians.
We believe the wings helped the Anti.
Ben,ons 10 elect their Clerk, and then
the Bentonians helped tho wings to a.
lect their Speaker. The Bentonians are
willing TO do anything and help anybody
IL they may thereby secure Col. Ben.
