8LNTINEL & REPUBLICAN MIJFL1NT0WN. fTefaeMiay, Janaary 31, Ml. F. sen WE IE u. Ufroi A rtoranrroB. The Bill Signcd-President Grant a Great Soldier and a Great Statesman. Lost Mcm'lay President Grant signed the bill, that was published in these columns, that provides for the settlement of the dispute over the electoral rote in several of the South ern States. The dispute was quite a serious one. It involved the States immedi atelv interested in the wrangle, and it involved the whole country; and then, too, it involved the most des epotic power. 1st It involved the States, or the people of the States, who got into the wrangle over their own election, 2nJL It involved the whole people, Ixscausc the people in the States in the wrangle, did not settle their dis - pute at home, but came to Congress with it. 3rd. It involved a despotic princi ple, for it was argued that one man hd the settlement of all the disputes in question. The President of the Senate, it was argued, had the des- notic power to accept or reject elec- 1 11 toral votes as his will or judgment dictated. Tue bill makes a precedent by which future troubles of the same kind mny bo met, if they ever arise, whi''h m iy not again occur in mraiy generations. President Grant has been a won- derful instrument in the hands of i destinv, to brin" to a conclusion crreat ! , , and fundamental questions. He' , . , : stands as the first soldier of tho liy ! in bringing to" a conclusion a war agiust human freedom, and he is put by this last great act the signing of the bill in question before the world as a great statesman, who under- stan Is the principles on which the Republic is founded. How would it have leon for him to "iv 1 are cast discord tluonghout tbe country, by delivering a message against the bill, and m favor of the one man power, the despotic power claimed for the President of the Senate. Great soldiers in the past have often settled questions iu their own tivor. Bat President Grant is not only a great soldier, he is a great staiosmrra, and by his last act he will Ie so recorded. Bull-Dozed. One of the greatest mistakes ever proclaimed on the floor of the Uuited States SeBate, was that of Senator Morton'.', when be declared tbat tbe people of this country were Bull doxed iuto a plan to settle tbe dispute over the electoral vote. If tbe Senator be lieved what be said, be has less judg ment than the country give him credit with Laving. 11 mistaken view as to the real eause of tbe people favoring a peaceable settlement of the dispute, and the mean imputation of cowardice burled at tbcra for their desire to settle the controversy in accordance with the spirit of tbe institutions of tbe country, bkve put him at a heavy discouut. Oliver P. Morton to-day ia not the man in the minds of tbe party tbat honored bim by giving him honored place, tbat be was six weeks ago. The party know tbat be told a falsehood when he declared tbat they were intimidated, bull-doted, into fav oring the bill tbat bas become a law, and under which the dispute will besett'ed, and the dangerous doctrine that one man alone the President of the Sen ate has the power of deciding the momentous question of who shall pre side over tbe Ilcpublio, when tbe ques tion of dispute as to tbe Presidency is so earnest dispute in a number of States. To declare that one man bas snch powers in tbe Republic ifc a mon strous political heresy, and bad enough without adding to it the insult that if tbe people do not accept tbe heresy, they are bull-dozed. To charge the country with cowardice ccmes with a bad grace from a man who is hobbling about on two sticks sud wonld make that an excuse always to keep out of harm's way. The mass of the Repub lican party send the charge of coward ice back into the mouth of the Senator from whence it came with scorn. Wooing as a Fine Art. To make love is one of the arts that all fall fall heir to by nature Men and women employ the avenues that nature gave them through which to manifest their love. They woo each other, and they scarcely know bow. The hidden law that governs the case of all wooing is not well un derstood ; and still, with all the ig norance as to the direct manner of employing the law, or directing it where desirable, men and women get on quite well in the way of wooing. They have always been a success in tlwt line, and doubtless will continue to be successful to the end of time. As to whether they will be able to reduce 'Wooing to a Fine Art," to be subject to s system of rvlc with which one may become auainteu, and use, or not use at pleasure, is a question that time will 6ettl& However, let time work 6uch changes as it may, there is a lady by the name of Mrs. Mary Calhoun, who proposes to take time-honored Father T ime by the forelock, and 6hake the old gentleman up to a realizing sense of the fact that there is such & thing s "Trviifitf m a Fin Art." lira. Calhoun does sot propose to simply awaken old Time and announce to him that wooing may be reduced to a fine art, but she proposes to spread the announcement to the whole World, and cause people of this time to look at her and bear what she has to say. She proposes lecturing on the sub ject of " Wooing as a Fine Art," be ginning in the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, some time next month. Among those who recommend Mrs. Calhoun are Henry C Cary, Morton McMichael, James II. Claghorn, Ben jamin Harris Brewster, Richard Yaux and other well known gentlemen. There must be something about the system as explained by the lady that has merit in it, or these elderly citi- icuilU1 lIie VuLfc.er tviijr wuum uoi, have patience to give it attention. Too late, gentlemen, too late, for men of your years. Perhaps they simply desire to endorse it for the younger i men.

Tbe case of Bob Watkins va. the State was reversed and remanded by the Supreme Court yesterday, on the gronnd of tbe incompetency ot a j iror who had expressed aa opinion before bearing the testimony, and on the fur ther ground tbat tbe indictment was defective. Watkius became involved in a tight with a negro in Outnpbreys county, got tbe negro down and asked him whether be wonld prefer to be killed or have an ear cut off. The ne gro said, as be full both ears: " I be lieb I'd rather have an ear clipped off." "Which ear!" Watkins asked. The negro again felt both ears, and said : "Well, if I has to lose a ear anyhow, I'd rather part wid de lei' ear," and at that moment Watkins cut it off with tbe knife be bad tbreatingly held abov the negro's bead. Watkins will be taken to Waveily for a new trial. .YathpiUe American. A Curious Case. A peculiar case has been decided by the courts. A man and wife induced a conductor on a railroad to pass tbeui free by representing tbat they bad no money to pay tb sir fare. On tbe jour ney tbe husbanu was killed by a colli sion, and the wife entered suit for the recovery of damages. It was decided tbat one who knowingly induces a con ductor to violate a rule of tbe company is not nnder the protection of tbe law, as thereby he combined with tbe con ductor to defraud the company. It was further held tbat it was materia!, since in ber presence, tbe husband, acting as ber agent in procuring ber passage, to show that the wile was informed of tbe rules of tbe company and wade tbe false representation that they had no money to pay their fare. ven if she did not know of tbe fraudulent act of her busbaud, she could not recover, be cause she eould net avail herself of any fraud on bis part and hold property and acquire rights thereby. Consumption in Hogs. A correspondent of the Proirie Far mer writes as follows from C-auipaign county, 111. : " Since tbe cowing of tbe four or five snow storms of the last and this month half tbe bogs in the eouuty bave been coughing more or less, and the cholera takes on the form of quick consumption, of which, in the majority of cases, bogs die in a few days. As sn:uing tbe disease to be consumption, where Pore is possible, the best medi cines will te found to be new milk, fresh raw beet, pr horse flesh, fed as a supplement to tbe regulated corn diet, shelter and dry bedding, and two grcios of quinine given daily, thus parodying in the ease of swine sick of consump tion tbe treatment and most successful ways and means adopted for the cure of cnosnmptive patients cod liver oil, raw beef, and warm blood."
