p9-Ths Union County Courts were or
ganized last week under the newly elected
Judges-Messrs. Wilson, Wittenmyer, and
Marshall. Judge Wilson presides with
his accustomed courtesy and impartiality,
and 1--WE are assured by gentlemen who
were his friends and others who were his
opponents in the late contest) with increased
efficiency and decision in the despatch Of
business. Judges Wittenmyer and Mar
shall are both gentlemen of established
character, whose capacity and thorough
knowledge of the affairs of the county well
qualify them for the posts they occupy.
There is heavy Trial List, and last week
was chiefly occupied with some interesting
criminal cases, to the exclusion Of miscel-
laneous business. Up to yesterday, many
causes had been disposed of, and by hold
ing night sessions, refusing to yield the
Court Room for extraneous purposes, and
keeping Christmas" by keeping to their
work, the Court have performed and will
perform its duty satisfactorily to the people

COrnstalks.

If short of long provender for your cat
tie, have your cornstalks cut into inch or
halfinch lengths, and steam them, and
a bushel will be . good feed for COW
or an OK without hay. We have seen
them prepared in a very simple way-a
neighbor of ours had an oblong tight box
made, which had top to it; he filled this
box with cut stalks, poured over them a
pot Of boiling watcr, shut down the lid,
put a weight upon it, and thus cooked
them with the steam. BY the time the
water became milk warm the stalks were
sufficiently warm to be fed to the cattle.
In the portion allotted for his mich cows
he had bran or mill feed mixed, and in
this way he managed to keep his stock al
ways in thriving condition, with very little
use Of hay or fodder.-[American Farmer.

French Republic, abolished!

The telegraphic account, in another col
umn, proves that Napoleon H., like Napo-
leon L has used the charmed word Republic
to make himself Monarch. He has skill
fully employed the powers conferred upon
him by blind admiration of the name, to
entrench himself, behind the bayonets of
his troops, ON throne. The regular elec
ton for President was to have taken place
in May next, under the Constitution
Whether the Election ordered for this
month will be held valid, and its choice
acquiesced in, remains to be seen. Gran
ting universal suffrage as Napoleon does,
will obtain for him (when the votes of
those thus admitted are added to the votes
of the Royalists at heart) without doubt,
majority Of the votes. Elected Presi-
dent for ten years by violent and uncon-
stitutional act, he will need to take but a
step or two more to restore Monarchy in
its most burdensome form. Should it hap
pen, however, that there is enough virtue
and intelligence in the people to elect some
true Republican to the Office, sort of Re-
public may yet exist in France. We con-
fess our fears rather than our hopes pre-
vail in this matter. The senseless choice
of the present Presidential plotting despot,
and the tame submission of an excitable
people to unblushiug usurpations, are poor
indications Of any well-informed or relia-
BILE Public Sentiment and Virtue, without
which Republic is but mockery of pure
Liberty.
