THE FALL IN THE PRICE OK WHEAT.

TIE FALL ~ THE PRICE OF WHEAT.
"A cargo Of wheat arrived as Buffalo
last week, says the "Republic," con-
signed to house with instructions to
sell at 115c. When it arrived, all that
was offered was 10; the consignec tel
cgraphed to the owner to come and sell
it himself. On the day Of his arrival
it had gone down to 1850; he offer
ed it Mt that figure, and was offered
ono dollar, but he thought he would
look about before selling at that price,
and when he went to make the trade it
had fallen to 05c; he waited till tho
next day, when he was offered 0Oc for
it, and took it---fcaring if he held it a
week longer, it would not sell at any
price.

The difference between the vote Of the highest
ard Lowest candidate on the Republican State ticket
il only l,O4O votes. Mr. Clapp runs lowest, as We
feared he would from the first Mr.. Jenkins would
seem to be highest which we did not expect, nor
id any one apparently. We knew he wa'a strong
man; but ss many Republicans were bent on voting
for Judge DEMO that we sup posed Mr. jenkins must
ran considerably behind. VIM. Curtis Noyes has
the smallest msjority against hun Of any man en-
cur ticket.
The hilhest vote on the Democratic ticket is
that of Judge DEMO, a. was generally anticipated;
the lowest that of Mr.. Rhodes, Prison Inspector.
The largest majority that Of Tucker fox Secretary
of State.
Mr.. Geddes, our candidate for State Engineer,
who wa especially struck at, runs fully up to the
average Of his ticket.
The American vote is larger than was generally
anticipated. But for three or four clerks under
the American State officers at Albany, who persm
bulated the State just before election, whispering
that the American ticket was Withdrawn, and that
the party had resolved to go in for the Democratic
ticket its vote would have been considerably
heavier.

There is a story current in the journals that the
Democratic Members Of Congress elect from this
State recently held private Caucus at an eating
house in this City, and agreed to support Col. Orr
of South Carolina for Speaker, and J. C. Auen
lex NJ. CO. Of nlinOi, for Clerk Of the House.
We have nothing to say of the merits of these
candidates, as compared with those of their rivals
but the holding Of any such caucus was manifest
'mpropriety. The Democratic Members from this
State are nearly all new to Congress; several Of
item, doubtless, do not know the rival asprsnts for
the Spealership and Clerkshp even By aight
Why, then, should they not wait till they reach
Washington and hear what is to be urged in favor
Of these candidates and Of those, before they CON-
NIT themselves
The occult influences governing their choice rem
der this nomination still more exccp.ionable.
BrieA,-Mr. Howell Cobb, Secretary Of the Tre,,.
N.Y. means to be the Democratic candidate for next
Pre.ident. Col. Orr il Mr.. Cobb's next friend,

Custom. House is Cobb recruiting station. This
restaurant caucu. is Cobb trick and we venture to
SAY that If the truth could be elected NJ, Collector
Sche paid for the canvas, backs and the chsm-
yfsne. II the Democracy want Cobb for their
Dsxt candidate, the choice of his Lieutenant for
Speaker is perfectly in order; but IL. everything be
dore squarely ard sboye-board.

Some Of the Democratic journals which were at
first inclined to oppose the latest development of
Pro Slavery fraud and usurpation in Kansas are al
ready beginning to seek excuses for backing out
ard falling into the wake Of the Cabinet and The
Union. Foremost among these is, of course, The
Albany Atlas which having repudiated the Free Soil
principles and associations Of its better days now
tvinces toward them the proverbial rancor of
renegade Iprefacts last Gu nmersst by attack
on tie frat reports Of the doings of the bogus Con-
ventiop, ard its pretense of submitting to the will Of
the people. Our Lecompton correspondent comes
in fer large share of these datribes, but most
cau,elessly. The Geographic dispatches which gave
the frst account of the Conventions results we're
not based on his letters at all, but on those of The
ST. Louis Republican, . National Democratic"
journal.
The atlas, promising that " every one of those
"stores was q falsehood, proposes to give its
readers the precise facts, in the course Of which
it sees fit to assail THE TRIBUNE as guilty Of in.
"tsntionsl misstatement in stating that the bogus
Constitution fOrbds any amendment thereof prior 10
1855, nor even thereafter except by preliminary
vote of two thirds Of both branches of the Lsgisa
tute, ratified BY vote of "a majority of all the
" citizens Of the State not merely of all who
vote, but of all who exist. HsreupOn queries The
Atlas
Does not THE TRIBUNE know that the Legislative
nay al any time--evsn within SIX months after the
State Is aomtted-pass bill for a Contention and il
approved by the people, the Convention viii meet and
amend The Constitution, OF make entirely new one
ard their woIk will become the fundamental law ss
foon as adopted by popular vote Does The TRI-
pUSx deny tLis doctrine :"
Whether the people Of Kansas, acting through
their Legislative organism, viii have power to
override and upset this Constitution after its adop
ton, is question We will not now consider; but
Eat this Constitution purposes, intends and (so far
IS il can) provides that il shsll not be amended in
any way prior to 1865, nor af,er that tine excep.
in the way it prescribss, that We clearly see. If
the people shkl ever be able to shake themselves
clear of its sbackles, is will rot be BY reason OF
its provisions, but in spite Of them.
But says The Atlas, the Topeka Constitution
likewise precluded ady amendment Of its provisions
prior to 1865, nor oftener than once in five years
thereafter. Certainly ii did; but it tegan BY eI-
