Mr.. Speaker, it is not many years since the
thunders of the people were directed against a
President and Congress of the United States,
for their usurpation and arbitrary stretch of
power, in causing to be enacted the memorable
.seditioa law" Thomas Jefferson, the great
apostle of Democracy, and his disciples, have
ever denounced it as a despotic violation of the
liberty of speech and of the press. Yet sir,
that law, in all its alleged enormities, was not
eomparable with this sedition law of the Kan
sas Assembly. Under that odious law of 1898,
one might offer the truth in evidence in defence:
nnder this infamous law of 1854, enacted and
advocated by the same disciples of the same
Democracy, this poor privilege is denied; and
the 81 head and front of the offending" consists
IN uttering the great truths OF Liberty.

BR1DGR Acnoss TIE NEIssrssIPrI.-The st. Louis
Republican is urging the necessity of bridge
across the Mississippi at that place. The thick
ice for some weeks past has furnished cheap
passway for thousande daily; but this only proves
the want more clearly for other periods of the
year. a plan of suspension bridge is under
consideration. 1t is proposed to make tt 100
feet high at the lowest point ofdepression, from
St Louis to Bloody island, and will cost $1,000
600 The Republican thinks it would be pro-
titable undertaking even at 100000 more, as
the ordinary modes of transportation will not do
with trains arriving and departing every hour
in the day at Ilinoistown, filed with passengers
and freight.

Tue BKEAEtSG OF RAILROAD Axtrs BY CoLD.
"A correspondent of an Albany paper, noticing
the fact that axles of ear wheels suddenly broke
during the cold weather, explains it as follows
ssEarly in the o,oruing aud close to the 'odeels.
The explanation is obvious enough The iric-
ton produces section OF heated iron in the
axle, and it is thus subjected to frequent and
sudden alterations OF temperature, which may
result in breaking at any zine, and especially
when the heat is got up in the morning, after
the iron has become as it were .ffozeS in the
night cold. The axle would not break in the
winter any more than in the summer, if they
were kept, while not in motion in awarm house.
The cars should be run slowly early in the NOR
ing to allow the acercatioa OF heat to be gradual.
Unless injured by previous exposure, there's no
danger Of breaking except at the start. The
effect of sudden heat to cold iron is precisely
the same as to glass"
