by ordor OF bis superior officers. Ths Court
decided that this return Is fnsuf1cieat, and
ordered writ Of attachment to be issued for
the arrest Of Capt Parker for contsmpt of

eucceed In making the arrest, unless he catches
Capt. Parker unawazes. Indeed, Primm has
decided to send the papers to Cor. Fletcher
for the vhdication Of the law. The Conscrv-
atiyes have much interest in this case. They
want 10 see whether Gov. F. will use military
force to-compel an obedience to the -decrees=
Of the Criminal Court as effectively as be did
: TO oust the usurplng Judges of the Supreme
Court. This Is what the Conservative oreans

TIE ExREDHLs,
The ex-rehe1s, and especially those e1-
rebels who at any time had any connection
with gangs Of bushwhackers, are not easy
yet IN thu interior. A abort time ago var-
rant was issued Ia Randolph county for the
n1rest Of BM Stephens, an ex-guer1lia, Oh. a
charge Of horse stealing. Stephens got wind
of 1t, and resisted tha arrest He fired two
shots at the sheriff, mounted o horse and
escaped. He has probably LEFT the State be-
fore this. Many Of the same crowd are now
in Illinois. The man Hereford, who killed
Gently, vas rebel soldier In Piee'a army,
but finding his old home too hot for him on
account Of his service in the rebel afuy, he
migrated to Illinois. ANY largo increase IN
The Copperhead vote Of any comfy In Illinois
ut the next election may be attributed to
rebels for loyal farmers the year round.

There + one 5ong Or constantly p St, ksa5a last nov
situated In regard to bridge over the Mis-
elssippi river, as st. Louis has been for so
long, 1t Wonld be commenced st least in E1xty
days." This compliment to Chicago enter
prise speaks volumes for st, Louis slowness.
The trouble here Is that there Is too much of
merchants. There are many lire Yankees do
Ing business in st. Louis who arc smart and
energetic as anybody, but they are held buck
and pressed down by their ncishbors. 4 great

necessary structure will be actually COM
