Look TO Ir.--Parties residing in the
neighborhood Of the bridge over the
Charleston railroad, on Madison street,
are loud in their condemnation of GER
tain city official, for allowing the bridge
to remain in the dangerous state which
it has been in for couple of months.
Along each pathway many planks are
rotten, and there are holes that a child
could almost pass through, and they are
getting larger and increasing in number
every day. Folksthat have not got their

Liberty of the Press in France,

NJ Jules Favre-Liberty of the press,
which is the first of all, is exclusively
in the hand of power, by the necessity,

and finally by suppression. 1t only
exists by the federation of power; there
fore 1t does not exist at all. Hear,

Government understands the liberty of
the press 1t will willingly listen to
its own opinion, but as to public opin-
ion that cannot be expressed. Noise
and interruptions. Ii you look to the
system of warnings it will be seen that
the effect is to create this fragrant con.

speaks, and which he represents as the
fruit of despotism. This confusion is
absolute. The executive power is most

The motion in the joint session Of
the New Jersey Legislature, last year,
70 elect Senator by a plurality was
made by republican and carried by
republican votes. 1t was believed that,
as the democratic vote was divided
this would enable the republicans TO
elect their candidate, Mr. Ten Eyck.
But several of the recusant democrats
seized the opportunity, voted for Mr..
Stockton, and elected him. Who be
lieves that Mr. Sumner and Mr.. Fessen-
den, and their brother radicals, had
Mr. Ten Eyck been elected, would
have voted him out of his seat, as they
did Mr.. Stockton, against the recon-
mendRtion of the Judiciary Committed
As the \. Y. Commercial Advertiser
Republican, says, only the fact that a
Democrat was elected under the lule
adopted, opened the eyes Of the ma,
jority in the Senate and made an OK
cuse for the dishonesty which has been
practiced.

disposed of the important questions
brought before il, and adjourned sine
de one of its earliest acts was TO re-
cornize the abolition Of slavery and 10
alter the organic law 10 conform TO the

Upon the question Of repeating or de-
claring the secession ordinance OF 1901
null and void, there was considerable
difference Of opinion, and much debate
Many believed that the ordinance was
valid. Others that il WAS usurpation
and void from the beginning Others
that il was revolutionary ami that non
secession made it obligatory on the
people TO amend it. The discussion OF
the question, however, resulted in the
