COMING New Cents AT THE M1ST-The Phil.
adelphia Ledger says the demand for the new
cent pieces in that city is unabated Of the
mode of making this coin at the mint it says:
There are at present nine presses engaged in
making the impressions upon this new coin; live
mills are also in constant operation forming the
rim on the coin previous to receiving the i'm
preston. These last named machines arc capa-
of making rims upon three various kinds of coin
at the same time; at present, however, they are
engaged upon the new cente xclusively. About
one hundred persons in allare constantly engaged
in the operations of the mint, and at the present
time the whole force are employed on the scent" ."
Each Of the presses throw off eighty-six finished
coins per minute. At this rate, working from
nine o'clock, A. NJ, till three o'clock, P. NJ, the
nine presses throw off each day the sum of 81
7S6.4O in cents: that is, providing the presses
ore kept going regularly.
Sixty thousand dollars of this coin, six mil
lion pieces, were paid out on Monday and Tues
day, and orders are still coming in from oil quar-.
tiers of the Union, even from the south and south
west, where the old cent never obtained circula-
tion-lowest prices there being graduated to the
smallest silver coin. From the present indica.
cations the old cent will be hurried out of use
and out of sight, even sooner than were the small
Spanish fractions of dollar.

MUL1sH.-We sec il stated since our
last, that the Senate Committee on Pub
lie lands, refuse to report bill, perfecting
all entries of land under the Graduation
Act, without the required proof of cult
walton and settlement by the purchaser
Their objection is, that the precedent
would interfere with conditions of sale in
other land bills, and eventually compel the
government to perfect titles on lands long
since forfeited under other laws. Should
the Senate persis. in their stubbornness, it
will be hard blow upon many in this re.

Proposed Disme mberment Of
MiItyisFe, Patch Grove and wy
abusing from Grant County.


That it sometimes becomes necessary
for q people to dissolve the ties
connecting them to another, we are not
going to deny, but we are really at loss
to see any cause for the movement on foot
so dismernber Millyille, Patch Grove and
Wyalusing from Grant County and attach
those towns to Crawford County. There
is however one reason urged: the people
Of those towns complain that the Grant
County Board of Supervisors neglect or re-
fuse to aid them with the means to build
bridges over the waters between them and
Lancaster in like proportion that other
towns are aided and that for the want
Of good roads and bridges they have
much difficulty in getting to Lancaster,
when summoned to attend courts and
when they have urgent business at the
county seat. We think they Justly COM
plain of neglect in this respect and have
often reminded our County Board of the
injustice. This Is however, matter that
will be remedied in time, and ought not
to be magnified into permanent objec-
ton to those towns remaining part of
Grant. The same plea of injustice might
be urged by three-fourths of the towns of
the county.
The movement was started at Prairie
du CHEN, as consequence of the rivalry
existing between that place and Bell Cen
ter, the latter all at once beng in want Of
a county seat and wishing to move that
iastitution from Prairie du Chen, to
Bell Center. Prairie du Chen having
become unnecessarily alarmed, and wish
ing to obtain numbers to out-vote The
Center in event Of an act of the Legisla
ture referring the question of removal t.
the people, has struck for a slice O
Grant County. That's the foundation q
it. Prairie du Chen, having no conf
dence in her own powers, has got scared
and calls for help; like fat lusty giant
who never had a fight, never travelled, ant
who always complained to his mother whel
the little boys pinched him. Prairie d
Chen is unconscious of her own strength
else she would up with her fists, at 'er
and knock the Bell Center movement int
gin shop.
~ But, the movement will be dead Ssi

FOREST LAMBs.--The slaughter of deer
has been immense during the winter
They cannot escape, owing to the deep
and crusted snow; all the hunter has to do
is to knock them in the head. They are
in pursuit of food, and often come up to
barn yards; two came into our village a
few days ago and went to Mr.. Woods
barn. Another was taken by son OF
Mr.. Tobler near Lancaster; it was as tame
as lamb and he has kept it among the
COWS ever since. Deer have become so
lean bv starvation that their flesh is not
marketable, and since the game laws for
bid killing them the slaughter has almost
ceased.

Celebrating @ BefeRe.

A few years ago an English Clergy
was in Boston, Mass, on the day Of the
celebration of the battle of Bunker Hill,
ard two or three American Ministers pro-
posed walk to Bunker Hill Monument,
when on the top, one Of the latter asked
"How do you as an. Englishmen, feel on this
Monument" He replied, ~ feel quite
comfortable and gratifiec for here l have
a fine view Of the place where the battle
between the Shannon and the Chesapeake
was fought, and you Americans are the
only people l have read of in history
who celebrate defeat
And now Immediately hard-fought
political battle, in which victory seemed
long to hesitate upon which banner it
would emblazon itself, and the battle is
lost to the Republicans, they Immediately
go about celebrating the defeat. Fetes,
oyster suppers, Qualifications and congrat
Iulations are the ordeg of the day from
Maine to Wis. We may well celebrate it
for like the Republicans of Bunker Hill, we
have retired with heart strong and ready
|still to do battle, and our defeat like that,
is but the precursor of certain future victo-
Try. Let the battle come. Utah wiN 5ring
lat.
We are nearly million and half of
voters, aetuated by the high resolve of
moral right. Every where the Republi-
cans are full of spirit and hope, and the
Democrats, like the British of Bunker
Hill scarcely know whether they gained
"a victory or lost one, and are marching on
very despirited to be beaten and totally
routed in the next battle. They see the
intellectual, the wealthy, the industrious,
the enterprising and the most moral states
are in the hands Of the Republicans, and
as none of these state emouments of office
which they are famous for turning into
spoils are in their hands, they feel that al.
though they have gained the Presidential
victory, they are whipped, and whipt bad
ly. What do they care for James Bucban
an and the few offices he can give, when
they hare lost the States.
Then: let us contrive to celebrate on,
defeat, keep our colors flying, march t.
the music Of INSTRUMENTATION of slavery,
and let our cry still be Fremont and Vic
tory"
Then sound again the bugles,
/ Call the battle roll anew;
/ II months have well nigh won the field
/ What may not four years do?0

kansas Matters.

The Bogus Kansas Legislature has again
convened; majority of the members be-
ing residents of Missouri, it was trouble
to get them together, but they have gone
over to try the popular Sovereignty
process of legalising the niger business
once more. Gov. Geary has recognised
the Missouri Legislature Of Kansas, which
iispleases the free state men. The mem
bers were all sworn to support the pro-
slavery compromises and the fugitive slave
law.
Cotcmporaneously with the meeting Of
the Legislature, Stringfellow's constitution
al convention met TO organise for framing
ia constitution preparatory for making Kan
sas a State. The following preamble
and resolution were unanimously adopted
by Stnngfellow's convention:
"Whereas, This is Pro-Slavery Con-
vention, and whereas there is motion to
appoint Committee on Credentials,
"Resolued, That no one who is not
known to be a good pro-slavefy man
shall be admitted to seat as a delegate
or allowed to participate in this Conven-
ton"
A member objected to the resolutions,
giving as reason that the party was a
'law and order" party, but Mr.. Henderson O
the Leavenworth Journal knocked his ar
gument by rejoining that "there is no diff
ference between a law and order and a
Ip o-slavery party they were "synony-
NOUS TERMS" Most of the business was
conducted in secret. 1t is supposed that a
plan of operations was agreed on for ma
king pro-slavery constitution, and the
method to secure its adoption. The oaths
DISTINGUISHING every free state man will
likely be applied to all who vote on the
question of adopting the constitution, which
will keep the free state men from the polls,
but throw the whole blame on Congress
who can adopt or reject their concocted con-
Istitution.
The free state men, conscious of their
numerical strength and being well aware
that the approaching spring will bring
with it large accessious Of permanent set-
tiers. are as contented and Indifferent con-
corning the actions of the niger party as
Dutch lords. The f, ee state men are all
well armed and prepared for any invasion
from Missouri. 1t will cost the nigger
party million of dollars for single cam
paign, which they can't raise except in the
shape of q S. army under government
lpay.

GRANT COUNTY HERALD
Lancaster, Wis.,. Jas. 81. 1857.
New u. S. Senator.

We give elsewhere the vote by which
Judge Doolittle has been elected U. s.
Senator for six years from the 4th Of March
next. The Constitution of the U. s..
saws the Senator shall be elected by the
Legislature, but our State Constitution
says Judges are not eligible during the
terms of their office, which is clearly in
conflict with the Federal Constitution.
Judge Doolitte having held the office of
Judge and his term being not yet expired
though he resigned several months ago,
the democracy held that his election was
void, while the Republicans almost unanl-
mously held that the restriction of our
Constitution is il conflict with the U. S.
Constitution, and that Doolitlle's election
is therefore valid. The Republicans claim
a precedent for their opinion in the case
of Trumbul of Illinois, who was elected
under precisely similar circumstances and
the y. S. Senate admitted him to seat.
Lieut.. Gov. Macarthur the presiding officer,
refused to give certificate of Doolittle's
election, having constitutional seruples, but
since the decision of our Supreme Court,
that canvassers Of elections cannot make
or unmake an election, and that such a
power only belongs to the people, bis over
ruling makes no difference. Since the
Republican party can only gain power
inch by inch, they should show no favors
as none are shown them. This Consiitu-
ton shrieking of the democracy, whenever
a Barstow, Niger or any other democrat
ic measure is to be carried through, has
got to be understood precisely as their
f8igned love for the Union; whenever they
feign extreme love for the Constitution OF
the Union, it is a sure premonitor that
they are about to kick one or the other
into the bottomless pit.
DoolittIe is elected and will be admitted
to his seat. We most sincerely rejoice at
bis triumph over Judge Howe, the posi-
ton of the latter being antagonistic to the
S,ate-Rights doctrine of the Republican
party. doctrine that is the very founda-
ton of our party. 1t is well known
that the Federal Courts are the great CEN
tfalizing bulwarks of the negro aristocracy
and the new democratic doctrine of nation
alizing slavery. As death removes these
Federal aristoeratic props, the duty OF
our U. s. Senate will be to fill their places
with Jefersonian S.ate-Rights men, who
will not bow down to massa niger drivers.
Judge Dooli:tle is sound upon this point
as sound as a dollar, while Judge Howe
hesitates, fears, trembles and befogs him
self-like fox in wolf pen which he had
mistaken for sheep fold.
The new Senator is politically right
constitutionally right and will be the bright
est Republican Star Of the West, whose
light will shine from this day forth. Hi
election is glorious triumph over the ear
ly formed eliques, togy conservatives and
official saints of the Republican party.
