THE GRANT BILL.

What General SIocum Has to Say About
the Bill to R~tre General Grant.
WASHINGTON, January 29.-General Slo-
cum, speaking of the prospects of getting
General Grant upon the retired list OF the
army, said there were pending two bills
which had that object in view. The first
which mentions General Grant by name
passed the Senate with only one dissenting
vote. The second, which was Sc framed as
to avoid the difficulty expressed in the veto
of the Fitz John Porter bill, passed the
Senate while General SlOcum, under III
structiOns from the Military Committee of
the House, was awaiting an opportunity to
bring the first bill before that body. Some
friends of General Grant" said Representa-
tive SlOcum, wanted me to cali up the sec
ond bill instead of the first, which, of course
l could not do, as l was acting under in
StructionS from my committee. The House
Committee then took up the two bills and
discussed them fully, and the question was
whether the instructions which already had
been given me should be changed, AMI
should be instructed to bring up the second
bill or not. Every Democrat on the commit
tee, and One-half the Republicans present
voted not to change the instructions, but
10 have me call up the original bill. That
l was prepared TO do week ago to-day.
and should have called it up, and think il
would have passed had it not been for dila
tory motions which were made and sUS
tanned by both Democrats and Republicans
| am told there is movement Oh foot to
call up the second bill by Mr.. Randall, if he
can get the floor. The difficulty is in get
ting the floor and the suspension of the
rules, which requires two-thirdS vote.
The whole question is simply whether Con-
gress shall deviate from its usual course in
this bill in order to comply with the Presi'
dents views, or whether it shall pass the
bill in the form it has always been in the
habit of doing. The question is whether
the Democrats are going TO deviate from the
custom of Congress in order to aGcOmmO-
date themselves to the Presidents objection
or whether they will pass the bill in the
usual form. My preference is decidedly fol
the bill in the usual form. but | will sup
port either bill. The good feeling of the
House Committee toward General Grant is
shown by the fact that it instructed me tC
bring up the first bill before the second was
ever introduced or thought Of. This shows
the committee to be earnestly in favor of re-
firing General Grant and that the present
muddle is no trick to defeat the measure.

One of the most remarkable cases in
the jurisprudence of West Virginia has
just been concluded in the Circuit Court
at Point Pleasant. Henry j. Fisher,
Sr., was wealthy man of that place,
and when he died left property, real
and personal, valued at S200,0OO. Mr..
Fisher had one son. named for himself.
Young Fisher in his youth became wild,
and. to an extent, reckless. He went
into the Confederate army and was a
brave soldier, being promoted for
bravery on the field. His father was
displeased with his course and before
his death executed a will in which the
sons prerogative as heir was entirely
disregarded. The testator had endeav-
ored TO entail the estate in accumulat-
ing trust before the investing of the en-
tircty to period beyond which the law
allows. Henry J. Fisher, Jr, now a
lawyer practicing at the bar and fesid-
ing at Chicago. where he is greatly re-
spccted. brought suit to declare the will
void as to the disposition made of the
property. The case was decided in
favor of Fisher.

Oklahoma Coionists on Their Return-De-
LEADER Says.
KANSAS City, January 3o.-A special
correspondent of the Times telegraphs from
Arkansas City: L arrived here at nice
o'clock and found that Captain Couch and
party had camped within six miles of this
place. There was considerable excitement
over the arrival of the returning party and
a great meeting of the citizens was in pro-
gress. COUGHS party is encamped on the
State line about six miles below, and will
arrive here in the morning about ten o'clock.
They reached the line with only provisions
enough to do them to-day. The citizens
here are preparing to give the returning
boomers grand reception. Committees
were appointed to perfect arrangements
and the defeated but not Respondent
pioneers of the sturdy race will be received
like generals of Rome when they
returned to the seat of the en-
pire to be awarded their triumphal arch for
the victories they had won. The people
here as we'll as all over the country regard
this noble sacrifice of the Couch party in
sustaining hardShipS and privatiOns as pro-
life of great good, though they could not
retain hold upon the claims as United
States citizens in forbidden territory. Citi-
Zens will form in the morning and with
brass band will proceed south and escort
the boomers into the city with flags waving
and banners on The outer wall. Mr.. Nor-
raj, of the party who came into the city to-
night Indignantly denies that Captain
Couch surrendered, as reported by General
Hatch He says they were ordered
to surrender, when Couch re-
turned peremptory refusal Then
Hatch said he would fire On them
next morning The boomers staid in their
entertainments and finally Couch told the
forces that he would quietly leave the camp
and 90 to the Kansas line, more Oh account
of want of provisions than from any de-
nand made by the military. WOrralI says
that the cavalry had cut off supplies and
they saw that they were being starved out
and it was discretion on their part to re-
turn. In conversation between WorraIl
and your correspondent, learned that the
Couch party went into camp on the Still
water about December -, laid out the
town plat and commenced the con-
structiOn of log houses and dug outs.
and the work was interrupted. Supplies
came in sufficient to meet the demand
until three weeks ago. When they first
heard of the military forces under Hatch,
preparations to protect themselves COM
menced and line of defense constructed.
Deer and turkey were brought into COuch's
camp in abundance. There was no sur
render and the disposition on the part of
the bOOmerS to eVacuate the territory was
not so considered. Monday was spent in
preparing to leave, and Tuesday morning
found them on their way. The
meeting of the citizens tonight
was largely attended and res0lu-
tons were passed indOrsing Captain Couch s
course. General Hatch is reported as
moving for Caldwell. Reporters of the me-
trOpolitan dailies are down in the woods
somewhere, having left here for the front
Wednesday and have not been heard from.
