BERLIN. Sept. l0.-In a speech from
the throne which was read by count Stal
berg Wernizergde, at the opening of the
Reichstag. yesterday, it is said immediate
ly after the FIRST attempt upon the emper-
or's life the Federal government became
convinced that the crime was due to the
influence of sentiments propogated far and
widely, an agitation which aimed at under
mining the existing laws of the state Of So
ciety; the speech after referring to the
rejection Of the first bill brought forward
in the Reichstag for the arrest of the
machination which imperIlled the common
interests of the country, says, the Federal
government thinks now as formerly that
extraordinary measures are required to
prevent q further extension of the already
widespread evil. and to pave the way for
it's extinction, and that such measures
should preserve the liberty of the citizens
in general, and only prevent the abuse OF
liberty by which pernicious socialist agita-
ton threatens the foundation of lives and
all culture.
