Letters from the People.
Editor Vermont Earmer:--

CdHOT vermont FdTmeT:---
Allow me few words in regard to Louis
lana affairs, faw days ago il was flashed
along the wires that tho military had forc-
bly, elected five members holding contested
seats in the Louisiana legislature. Without
stopping to discuss the relative merits of the
actors in the drama Of that unfortunate state,
allow me to say that this act, sanctioned rs
it is by President Grant, is n high -handed
outrage against the republican institutions
Louisiana IS entitled to the treatment due II
sovereign state, not that of conquered
province.
The president by means of tho military
power has no more right to interfere with
the organization OF tho legislature of that
state than he would have to interfere in case
of contested seats in the legislature of YER
mont or Massachusetts.
Cromwell once dissolved Parliament by
force. Napoleon, to subsorve his own ends,
turned the legislative assembly of France
out of doors at the point OF the bayonet.
Grant, through his officers, has just initiated
these examples at New Orleans, Are the
American people ready to accept the reign of
Cromwell or Napoleon or weak imitation
thereof Not yet.
We ara not discussing the right of those
five members to hold their seats, but when
we admit the right of the military power thus
to interfere with the rights of state we
have allowed the entrance OF the thin end of
the wedge which is liable to destroy our
privilege of self government aud end in n
military dictatorship. The president, who
for the sake Of furthering his own ends or
for the sake of assisting his friends, will In
terfere with tho rights of the state of Louis

Flour and Grdin.-The market for -four
remains the same. There has been little
more doing, but the sales have only been in
Jobbing lots to keep up assortments, and

Those who desire to get the FARMER at
club rates should remember that low rates
are offered only for the purpose of causing
them to form into clubs and thus bring in a
large number of subscribers They must not
send their subscriptions to the Office at club
rates, but 60 to work aud form into clubs.
The benefit we will derive from that is that
they will bring in many of their neighbors
with them; but we don't want to pay the
price aud not get the benefit.

Grand Lodge of Good Templars.

The Grand Lodge Of Vermont opened at
Mortified, at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning.
After the initiation of members in the Grand
Lodge degree, the usual routine of business
was commenced. 1t was voted that the
Grand Lodge hold a public meeting on
Wednesday evening, and that children es-
pecially be invited to be present.
Considerable dissatisfaction was expressed
with the Central Vermont refusing to grant
half fare to the Grand Lodge it being stat.
ed that they had granted half fare to 9th.

The Montpelier Journal, we were sur.
prised to notice, had the independence to
join in the general protest against the out
rage on the state of Louisiana, last week,
and the Free Press, which is married to the
republican party for better or for worse, pro-
ceeds to duly castigate the Journal for thus
incontinently going" back on the admins
tration. The Free Press, almost alone of
the Vermont press, sees no improperly in
this new method of organizing state legis.
lature with United States troops.

TRIAL by A MANS PEERs.-A man who was
said to be insane was tried for setting fire to
barn. At the close of the testimony the
judge spent au hour in explaining to the
jury that there might be three findings in
the case : First, that if :he respondent did
not fire the barn, "not guilty." second, if he
did fire the barn and was insane, "not guilty
by reason of insanity" and third, if he fred
the barn and was sane at the time, guilty"
The twelve wise men retired and after two
hours consultation returned with this yer.
dict: guilty, because Of insanity" The
Judge again instructed them aud again they
retired to find the prisoner simply, mot
guilty" Still third time they were in
structed and third time they returned
with a verdict of, "crazy." Whether the
last finding referred to the jurors or the
prisoner did not clearly appear, for the pa

discharged the jury, leaving the crazy re-
spondent to admire the grandeur aud beauty
Of II law which guarantees to every man q
right to be tried by his peers.

THE OYSTER TRADE,

The oysters, so far as they have been
brought to this city, are of excellent quail
ity. Thus far they have been chiefly for
home consumption, and only the uetter
qualities are used in the restaurants and
other places of public resort. Most of our
oyster packers are now making prepara-
tons Tor the fall and winter work. The
cookng houses will put up large quantities.
ana the raw trade which is regular and the
shipments daily, will probably do larger
business than ever before. The vessels en-
gagged during the summer months in the
irult trade, are row preparing to 90 to oys-
ter beds. for he fall and winter campaign.

4 SKETCH or THE BAYARDS.

The Bayards of Delaware may be regarded
as one or the historical families of the coun.
try. They are derived from one Nicholas
Bayard, French Hugenot, who came to
America in 1647with his brot other-in-law the
celebrated Peter Stuyvesant, Dutch Cover
nor of New York. Hamilton Fish and the
present United States Senator Bayard are,
therefore, remote connections. One hund-
red and twenty years after the arrival of
Nicholas Bayard, James Asheton Bayari
was born in Philadelphia, and died forty
eight years afterward. james A. Bayard
was educated at Princeton College, studied
law in Philadelphia, and went to Congress
at the age of twen,y-nine to support John
Adams administration as q Federalist. He
was one of the men who bolted the Federal
ticket and made Jefferson President, and
was rewarded for it by reelection to the
Senate in place of his father-in-law, Bassett.
It was James A. Bayard, Sen.. who assisted
to make the Treaty of Ghent, and two of
his sons went to the United States Senate
Richard Bassett Bayard, who died in 1868,
at the age of scventy-two, and James A.
Bayard, jun, who succeeded his brother
after lapse Of twelve years, as United
States Senator in 1851, serving eighteen
years in Washington, part of the time as
chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
James A. Bayard, Jun, resigned in favor of
his son, Thomas F., in 1869, SO that the
Senatorship has been family matter among
the Bayards for abe last seventy years. The
present Senator is just forty-seven years old.
is dignified, scholarly. industrious, and
highly esteemed not only by his colleagues,
but by all who know him.-To- Days Har
