The Bridge at Sock Island,

The following is an extract of letter
from an Illinnis Member of Congress, dated
St. Nichols Hotel, New York City, May 16,
1856, is from tie St. Louis Republican:
DEAR SIR BY an article in your paper
in regard to the recent loss of the steamboat
Effie Alton, in attempting to pass the Rock
Island Bridge, see you arc laboring under
a misapprehension i'll regard to the decision
Of Judge Mclean on that subject. That
decision gave no right whatever to the Rail
road Company to build the bridge-unGer
the case made by the engineers of the Rail-
road Company, showing that the proposed
bridge would offer no obstruction to the
free navigation of the river, the Juge de-
clined granting the injunction, but said that
if the bridge, when built, should occasion
damage, the Railroad Company would be
responsible. If experience has demonstrate
ed as think it has conclusively, that the
bridge is great and material obstruction to
the free navigation of the river, there is no
doubt that the Judge who declined granting
the injunction in the first instance, would
now interfere in a proper case made, and
prevent the bridge from being repaired, and
compel the piers to be removed.

Base Assault upon Senator Sumner.

WASHINGTON, May 2s,.
Immediately after the adjournment OF
Congress to-day, Preston Brooks, of South
Carolina, member of the lower House, en-
tered the Senate Chamber and approa he'd
the seat of Senator Sumner and struck him
powerful blow with cane, at the same
time accusing him-of libelling South Caro-
lima and his grey-headed relative, Senator
Butler. Mr.. Sumner fell from the effects of
the blows. Brooks continued beating. Mr..
Sumner recovered sufficiently to call for
help, but no one interfered, and Mr.. Br0okS
repeated the blows until Mr.. Sumner was
deprived of the power of speech. Some
eye-witnesses state that Mr.. Brooks struck
as many as fifty times on the head of Mr..
Sumner. Mr.. S. was sitting in an arm
chair when the assault was made, and had
no opportunity to defend himself after his
assault. He was carried to his rooms, but
the extent of his injuries was not ascertain
ed. Various opinions on the subject are
expressed, many applauding and some de-
n 'unc ng it as cowardly attempt to beat
uown freedom of speech. Mr.. Brooks was
complained of by Mr.. Leuder, on whose.
oath justice Hollinshead issued warrant of
arrest and required Brooks to give bail in
the sum of $500 for his appearance to-mor-
row morning. Mr.. Sumner has several Sc
we're but not dangerous wounds on his head.
The cane held by Brooks was shatterad~ to
pieces by the blows.

HoUsE-Mr. Washburn of Maine, from
the Committee on Elections, reported re-
solution that Jas. G, Allen, of Illinois, is not
and that William B. Archer is entitled to the
seat now held by the former. Mr.. Stephens
of the same Committee, has prepared mi
nority report. Reconsideration of the sub
ect was pc stpo till June 9th.
Mr.. Campbell, rising to question of priv
ilege, offered the following:
Whereas, on the 22d of May Hon. Pres
ton S. Brooks and Hon. Lawrence NJ. Keitt,
members of this House from South Caroli-
ma, and otLer members, either as principals
or accessories, made a violent assault upon

of the United States from Massachusetts,,

his duties as Senator, therefore,

Affairs in Kansas.

Il
The Democrats Kansas correspondent
under date of the 10th, writes that from
eight to twelve hundred men were encamned
near Lecompton. The people of Lawrence
sent note to Col. Sumner, asking him to
sutton body of men in the vicinity of that
place to prevent the mob proceeding to san
culinary extremities. He declined, saying
he had no power to move without orders.
Mr.. Cox, of Lawrence, waited on Marshal
donaldson to ascertain if anything could be
done peaceably to prevent his monster nosse
from entering town. The Marshal said
their demands must be complied with pre-
yious to his consenting to their not entering
Lawrence with all his forces -. -
lst. Every man against whom d Al process
was issued should be surrelfderetf. <.
I'd. All munitions of war in Lawrence to
be delivered up.
ID. The citizens should pledge themselves
implicitly to obey the present enactment of
Kansas, list oaths, taxes and all.
Upon the receipt of this the citizens held
public meeting, and drew up letter to
the Ma; sh |, stating that he and every per-
son actrg under him would be allowed to
execute n legal process against any inhabi-
tant OF Lawrence, and if called upon they
would serve as posse in making arrests.
That there would not now, nor at any future
time, be any resistance to Law, and they
only awaited the opportunity to testify their
fidelity to the Union and Constituton-that
they claimed to be law-abiding, order-loving
citizens, and asked to be protected by the
constituted authorities.
The purport of the Marshals answer was
that he did not believe the promises of the
people of Lawrence, that he regarded them
as rebels and traitors, and they should know
his demands when he came.

an American Senator. Will the Senator

Mr.. Douglas-I shall certainly not take

The Wheeling Bridge Case.

In the U. S. Supreme Court, at Washing
ton, D. c., April 2lst, 1856, Judge Nelson
delivered the final decision of the Court in
the celebrated case of the State of Penn
sylvania, complainants, VS.. the Wheeling and
Belmont Bridge Company and others, dis
solving the injunction granted by the Circuit
Judge and overruling the motion made by
the complainants for writs of assistance and
attachments, and granting the motions for
the taxation of costs and the proceeds
the taxation Oh COsJs P,vv~vue
thereof.
Mr.. Justice Nelson said the Defendants
had taken the ground that the act of Con-
gress declaring the bridge legal structure,
and post route, and requiring that steam
boat chimneys shall not interfere with it,
suspended the decree of the court in 1852
against the defendants, while the plaintiffs
assumed that the act of Congress subse-
quently passed was unconstitutional and
void. The matter raised was the principal
objection in the case. In consequence OF
this law the decree could not be enforced
nor the act regarded as conflicting with the
Constitution, which says, "no preference
shall be given by any regulation of COM
merce or revenue to the ports of one State
over those of another" as has been con-
tended. So far as the bridge created OBJ
structions, it must be considered as modi-
fed, and although an obstruction in fact, il
was not such in contemplation of law.
Mr.. Justice Daniel, while expressing his
occurrence with the decision, stated that he
could not sanction the course of Circu
Judge Grier, in ordering the issuing of al
attachment.
The remainder of the Judges of the
Court, having had nothing to do with the
case, concurred in the decision that every
point in the case should be dismissed.
Mr.. Justice Mclean, however, thought
that the law of Congress, legalizing thu
bridge as post route, gave preference tt
Wheeling over Pittsburg, and other places
above the bridge. Had Congress required
all steamboat chimneys to be cut down, nj
preference would exist in favor of one por
over another. This principle was deeply in
teresting to the commerce of the West
One-third of the commerce of the Uniol
may thus be affected. Hundreds of simila
structures might be thrown over the Mis-
sissippi to the detriment of millions of com
merce on that river and its tributaries.
