The Cherokces, it is said, have established something like a judiciary system, and introduced into their so ti elv, many of the laws and usseesof civilization. " Some of their savaoe instilutions are disappearing under the ameliorating influence of moral justice. As a specimen oFthe manner in which regular information w :.s made, The judge ordered the sheriff to bring the parties before him the sheriff went m pursuit of them, but returned with defendant hitccn lashes." What uio, vu uo vim liie nianiiu : liave him httccntoo " What with the informer, or witness ?" " Why I gave him twenty five lashes : for had hc held his togue there would have been none of this fuss and trouble." It would be well if all the dispensations j 0f justice could be so equally and promptly administered. Saran. Muxeum. Salfs at auction-. The belief seems to be pretty general, that by : Vrs at auction, the business otreg- ' ?r?.dersand manufacturers is se-vf-rely interfered with. Steadiness in any calling, is certainly the best guarantee ot its success, and the sacrifices made by foreigners in our market, by sales at auction, seem to benefit only speculators and overgrown capitalists though, by setting an apparent value on commodities in the market, they affect the whole stock of sueii articles on hand.
