verse influences which might be brought to
bear. Two or three good lawyers have held
that the bill would make correspondent
of paper even responsible for the editorial
utters noes, but this seems not to have been
the purpose Of the bill, which extends no
further than to bring newspapers easily
within reach. 1t is not to be supposed such
bill can get through the House, even it it
gets through the Senate. Il will be death
to any Representative who favors it.
A second movement in the same direction
is to tax newspapers inordinately for trans
missions through the mails. The Post
master General recommended that all
newspaper mail matter should be prepaid
in bulk-eay one aud half cents per
pound. The Senate thinks the rate should
be four cents pOund-a price wholly dis
proportiOnate to any other class of mail
matter. Should this amendment prevail, it
will, during the next six months. impose
tax of between $2OOO,OOO and $4,000, 900,
most of which will be paid by less than
five hundred individuals and firms. OF
course, we Of the newspaper fraternity
understand this tax upon us for our free
structures and our efforts in behalf OF the
abolition OF the icanking privilege. But the
Senate wants to burden us and relieve itself.
On Wednesday it adopted an amendment to
the postal bill, authorizing the transmission
OF the Congressional Record through the
mail free Of postage; and the transmission
Of the public documents already ordered to
be printed at not over twenty five cents per
volume, not to be prepaid. Senators from
this State had the good sense to vote against
this proposition, which passed with 80 yeas
to 2G nays. A proposition to restore in full
the franking privilege got IL yeas to 81
nays. The Senate was not quite prepared
to brave public opinion on this point.
So, as we have indicated, the newspapers
Just now are in limbo. Whether the jei'ors

The St. LOuis Bridge.

The formal opening of the great Illinois
and st. Louis bridge, spanning our river at
St. Louis, will take place on the fourth
proximo. 1t is a bridge of considerable
size, and from the fact that President Grant
will be present. aud that the inauguration
ceremonies will be held on national holi-
day, the hotel keepers anticipate increased
patronage.
Yesterday Postmaster Chauncey j.
Fillev, chail man Of committee, OF St. Louis,
telegraphed to Postmaster c. w. Ringgold,

water might be expressed there for use at

uneasiness. The party is organizing COM
mittees in every department, establishing
newspaper organs and distributing pOLtl-
cal documents and petitions urging the
restoration of an empire.
The Assembly.
It is probable that the Assembly will suc
cessively reject all constitutional bills. The
republicans manifest Joy over the prospect,
believing that dissolution will be the inev-
table result. The conservatives favor
the postponement Of the bills until winter.
None of them can be adopted now, OF by
