eight months. mainly in winter For three

earnings of the members would be in any other
vocation. There are of course men in Congress
who could earn $4,000 or even $4,000 tlse-
where; but they exceptions. compensa-

at that rate for every day wherein be reported

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. 7.

EVANSVILLE. Ind, Aug. 7.
We were visited this morning at 9 % A NJ.
by an earthquake which continued about
Is seconds, though there were wide differ.
ences as regards the duration of the shock.
II was accompanied by sound similar TO
that made by heavy laden train OF cars
running slowly through a depot. Doors
and windows ratified, and buildings Jared
as if agitated by the moving of heavy goods
on the same floor. In one hardware store
on Main street, the shock was SO severe as
to throw over large circular saw standing
against the wall at an angle OF 25 degrees.
The shock was still more severe in the
coal mines. about one mile west OF the city,
on the banks of the Ohio river. The en-
ployels say it continued fully five minutes.
The workmen were much frightened
more so than hurt. there not being lump
of coal or earth disturbed.
At Henderson. KY, the shock was even
more severe, though not of SO long dura-
ton. The people left their houses and ran
into the streets, though no damage was
done. am under the impression that the
shock was heavier further South. The
waves seemed to come from the SOUTHWEST.
Up to the time of the shock the heat was
very oppressive-not a breath of air stirring.
Since that time the wind has gradually in
creased, and the thermometer is sinking
fast. Now $3.50 P. N.Y. the thermometer
stands at 63. AT 8 O'Clock this morning it
stood at 81 in the shade. The sky is not
clear; neither is it cloudy There appears
to be sort of mist that makes the stars
appear dim. The breeze is still increasing.
| understand the aurora borealis was visible
at O'Clock this morning.

OF course in this procedure, Mr.. Douglas
had his party at his back. In order to test
and limit plainly, the intent of the move
men,. Senator Harlan of Iowa offered as an
amendment the following proviso:
But the fIee discussion of the morality and
expedency OF Slavery should never be intertered
with by the laws of any State, or the United
States; and the freedom Of speech and cf The
press this ID every subject of national pol
icy, should be maintained inviolate ip all the
States.
Tits amendment was rgectsd-the Re
publicans present all voting for it, and all
the democrats present voting against it =
The party thus placed itself on record in
the Senate as the opponent OF freedom OF
speech.

The Sedition Law and the Dem oc-
rAcy.
Yrau ,he Alhanx Eyeniug Journal.


No act OF our government ever called
out such universal odium and condemna-
ton as the ..Sedition Law which under
took to coerce opinion. and TO deny liberty
Of the press aud speech. Unpopularity and
lasting defeat rewarded It's proposers, and
history chronicles it as law unworthy Of
the age and country where 1t originated
Mr.. Douglas is the only statesman OF
modern times who has had the hardihood
to propose the revival Of this statute. He,
last winter, in the Senate. brought up a
new Sedition law scheme. closely resemb-
ling the old one. Yet. in one respect. bis
imitation was even worse than the original.
The proposers of the first law had at least
the excuse tha. they were, as they suppos-
ed. defending free government by harsh
means. Mr.. Douglas Sedition Law. while
equally harsh, had no object but to defend
and perpe,uate the institution of slavery
We place an extract from Mr.. Douglas
speech side by side with portion Of the
Justly Infamous Sediton Act. that all may
note the striking similarity between the two:
