These figures reveal the bad condition
of the trade during the month Of Nuvem-
Der last. What a contlast there is be
tween 4. cents, the. average OF last month
on wheat, and ~. 4 cents, the average
for November, 1872; 10, | cents for the
same month in 1871, and l6 cents for the
same month thirteen years ago! by Gu
nal the contrast is quite as striking as by
lake. The average for the month just
closed is 81 cents. for the corresponding
month in 1872 it was l6 cents, for Nov
ember, 1868. il was 23.l cents, and 25.6
in the same month of 1861. These fig
ures must make carriers sigh for the good
old days at yore.
The averages for the entire season
abundantly justify the heading which we

A Purpose to Seize Power and Change
our Form of Government.
From the st. Louis Republican

From the st. Louis Republican.
The novel situation into which the coun-
try was so suddenly plunged by President
Grants Cromwellian operations in Louis
lana has now been resolved into its ele-
ments to such an extent that we may begin
to calculate with some accuracy the pur-
poses of those in power and analyze with
some cleaIness the programme OF which
the Presidents dispersion of state legis-
lature by federal troops was the overture.
We have long feared that sinister designs,
not alone upon the liberties of isolated
states, but upon the very fabric of our
government and upon all the states were
meditated by those in power at Washing
ton. And we have more than once intima-
ted our apprehension that set Of men
whom violence and resolution had endow
ed with power would not yield it up again
without at least more of struggle than
that involved in a simple contest at the
polls. 1t was quite plain to all calm,
thoughtful observers that the tendency of
the administration and of its faction in con-
gress was 10 conflict with those fuudamen-
tai ideas of popular self government which
are at the bottom of our Republican sys
ten, and which completely underlie all
honest differences of political opinion
This being the case, the only remaining
question was, "how long will these two op-
posing forces avoid collision?" 1t was
obvious that a time must come, sooner or
later. when mere discussion and parlimen-
tary tactics would no longer subserve the
designs of the men who had determined to
perpetuate their own rule, by peaceful
means if possible and by any other means
if necessary; for we had not so despaired
of the spirit of American independence as
to believe that our people would drift su,
pinely along in the net Of despotism and
not discover whittier they were tending
until they had.been hopelessly entangled
in its meshes. Therefore we were conf
dent that an occasion would arrive when
the people would find themselves face to
face with an administration, hostile to
their cherished institutions and which
would present to them the alternative Of
submission or resistance. The result Of
the recent election has had the effect tc
precipitate this grave occasion.

When Thomas Vaughn, of Caddo Par
ish, Louisiana, silver headed old man,
was accosted by General de Trobriand
and his Guards, he rose very slowly to his
feet and said in most solemn and impress

"a general of the United States Army
has placed his hand upon my shoulder and
commanded me to leave the floor of the

which he lives, and whom, therefore, any
person may slay with IMMUNITY. There
happens to be clause in the constitution
of this nation which lnhibits the ancient
practice of semi-barbarous governments in
declaring outlawry. Apparently. General
Sheridan has never read that constitutional
provision; or, if he has ever read it, no.
body has ever been 80 kind to him as to
tell him what it meant. He will find it in
the amendment to article S, constituting
part of the so-called bill ofrights (the clau-
SEES OF which were mostly borrowed from
the bill of rights conceded even by that
most despotic ofmodern English monarchs,
Charles ~. 1t reads as follows: -

Congress may declare war, and in stat
of war, military law may supersede the CT

is no power in government to return to tn
days of barbarism by enacting or proclaim
