Atthe Ashendon Petty Sessions, on the 23d of September, in the presence of Mr. 'T. T. Bernard and Mr. John Stove, both game preservers, and the Revs. George Chetwode (a most inveterate game reserver) and T. Martyn, as magistrates, the ful- lowing cases are reported tohave oceurred :— “Tae Game Laws —LawrenceEborn, a quiet, inoffensive-looking man, a laborer, belonging to Oakley, was charged, on'the oath of Jacob Saun- ders, ot Chilton, (a looker-out for the Rev. George Chetwode,) with having, at about four o'clock in the morning of the 15th of September, used « snare for the destruction of game on land occupied by George Mortimore, in the parish of Oakley. Saun- ders said, ‘I, and Thomas edward: of Chikon, (another of Mr. Chetwode’s lookers-out,) were watching some snares during the n f the 14th ; ‘at about four o’clock on Sunday morning, the 15th, Eborn came up, knelt down, and untied the string of @anare ; the snare had not caught; we then im- mediately took him, while he was kneelio; m aure he untied the snare, but do not know what be- came of it; other snares were set in the locality ; took bim in custody to Chilton ; he went very wil- togly ; when at Chilton I allowed him to go back home ; he said he hoped I would do what | could in his favor, fore had never caught a hare on Mr. Chetwode’s liberty in his life ; never saw him out before; he ss a large family, and I believe iris his firet offence.’ Eborn cried and begged for mercy. He told the mugistrateshe had had thirteea children, aad now four alive, three of whom were at home, he youngest being an infant. He had only had ten jays’ work for the last month, was never before a magistrate before, wos in. great.distrese, and his children had not a bit of breadto eat. Mr. Stonr said no farmer would employ a poacher if he could help it, unless it was in harvest or hay time Night poaching, was poaching in its worst form; for the fience of which he stood convicted he wus liable tothree months’ imprisoument; but as it appeared to be the first time he had been brought before them, his sentence was #ix weeks’ imprisonment, with hard labor, in the house of correction, and.at the end of that time to enter into a £10 surety himr self, with two other sureties in £5 each, or one in £10, for his good behavior for 12 months ; and in 1 tault of his so doing, then to be further imprison- ed for six months. Here we find Mr. George Chetwode, the clerical game-preserver, sitting as a judge upon a poor half- iturved, peasant caught by his (the magistrate’s) Keepers in his own preserves, and then assisting t toflict a feartul and cruel sentence upon the offend- er. We proceed with the.practical illustrations ot those evils offered in Buckinghamshire. Here the Duke of Buckingham is the prosecutor, Mr. Chet- wode eqreaiicg thie character of judge only :— ‘William Slade, a roughly-clad, hungry-looking voung man,of Waldesdon, was charged by Edward Guntrip, one ef the Duke of Buckingham’s. game- keepers, with having, on the 12:h of September, shot ata covey of partridges, with intent to kill them. » George Tarry, one of the Duke’s lookers- out, was called to prove the charge. He declared that, about twelve o’clock on the day in question, ne was in Mr Deeley’s field, and saw Slade, who wasia Mr King’s ‘mead,’ shoot at acevey of par- triges. He was not 100 yards from him. Slade de- ated the charge and called George Tack, who said that, at the time stated, he was at the gate in the middle of Mr. King’s ground, when a gun wes fired into the hedge, but net at the birds, which were behind the person who fired the gun; who the per- yon was he could net say. While this witness was ping evidence, Tarry interrupted him in an un- fair way, which should not have been allowed.— Mr. Chetwode said the bench considered the o!- fence proved; and as this was not Slade’s first of fence, the sentence was, that he pay a fine of £5, and 10s. costs forthwith, and ‘in detault, three months’ imprisonment, Slade was committed.— Mr. Chetwode said, if the extreme penalties had been sought for, he (Slade) might have been im- prisoned for meary twelve months, in default of the payment of about £30. He was liable toe £20 penalty and eosts, ‘or: six months’ imprison: ment; then, for trespass, to £2 penalty and costs, or two montha’ imprisonment; and then to the £5 penalty and costs, or three months’ imprieon- nent So in the next case the Duke is the complainant. We use the word for lack of another, though it suggeats unpleasant recollections of * the Wolf and the Lamb :” “Thomas Kidway, a young man of Haddenham, was charged by the above Edward Guntrip with having shot at a hare, on the 20th of September, in the parish of Haddenham. The above George Tarry was culled to.prove the charge. He said that between eleven and twelve o’clock on the oN in question, he was on Mr. J. Langdon’e farm, and he saw Ridgeway and Slade; Ridgeway shot at a hare with ‘a gun, but did not kill 11; and that both of them ran after it; he, atthe timejof shooting, being about 70 yards from Ridgeway. The prisoner de- aied the offence, and said he was at the time at work tor Mr. Wm. Berry; and called Tacks, who said he was at work with the prisoner at the time. Under these circumstances the case was adjourned fora week.” ‘ On the following week, the 80th of September, the Revs. George Chetwode, T. Martyn, and J. 8. Baron, and T. T. Bernard, Eeqre., being the ad- ministrators of forest law: ‘Thomas Botley, a young man of Grendon Un- derwood, was brought up, “handcuffed,” by the Brill constables, and placed at the bar in that state, sharged, on the information of Thomas Plested, af Chilton, one of the Rev. George Chetwode’s 4amekeepers, with having, on the 18th of October ‘ast, at Boarstall, used a gun for the destruction of game, whereby he had forfeited a sum not ex- weding £5. obley had been prprebteied, by varrant signed by the Reverend T. Martyn, on the orevious day, (Sunday). at his tather’s house at jrendon. Prisoner demed the offence. Thomas Hopcratt, of Arncott, a looker-out for the Rev. aeorge Chetwode, deposed to his having seen the wrisoner, between six and seven o'clock in the norning of the day in question, shoot a h in ‘Barn-groand,” Boarstall, in the occupation of William Blake; was sure it was him; tnother man who was with him picked up the hare and put it in a beg; when he fired not more than fifty or sixty yards from um. isoner said it was not him; he was inno- sent of this; he had two brothers, and they were all 40 much alike that a person could hardly tell them apart. when close together; he was not there at the time, and the man who had sworn to him had sworn to the wrong; when he was guilty he did aot mind suffering, but he did not like to suffer for that which he had not done; it was so long ago, or he might have brought witnesses to prove where ne was at the time; his brother had told him that he was there, buthe said that Hopcraft was further off than he had said he was. It appeared that the misoner had been previously convicted of an of- fence against the game laws. Sentenced to pay a fine of £5 ond 10s costs,forthwith, and io default, three mouths’ imprisoomentin the house of correc- tion, with hard labor. Botley said he had not been <ammoned, nor had he seen the warrant by which the parties now said they apprehended him.— tuchfield said he told him he had a warrant when he went to apprehend him, and that he should have read it, but the re lance immediately offer ed by the prisoner, his father, mother, wife, and sister, was such that it was impossible to do so. Botley was committed to prison forthwith. Here the Rev Mr. Martyn grants the warrant, and concurs with his brother clerical justice in the vindictive punishment of this poor laborer. But this is not all, {or the prisoner’s family, stung be- yond endurance by the injustice. of the law and ap- parent informality with which its mymidons exe- cuted its benests, resisted the capture of poor Bot- ley. The result is thus reported :— Martha Botley, an elderly female, (the mother of the above prisoner), Martha Botley (his wife, who had an infant in her arms), and Elizabeth Botley (his sister), were next brought in.o the chamber, sharged by Henry Stuchfield with having, on the previous day, assaulted him, and with Heving en- deavored to rescue the above Thomas Botley fro: his custody. The mother appeared to be a very determined worms the Lege a hn and appeared to in hysterics. From the statement of Stuehfield and Thomas Goddard, who had acted as his assistant, it appeared that, on their going to apprehend the above prisoner, he, with his father and the three prisoners, offered a violent resistance, beat the complainants with stones, &c., and endeavored to rescue the young man. The mother, who spoke with much energy, dec! that the daughter did notintertere; thatthe two menv ho came to take her gon did not produce either sr m- mong or warrant; that one of them (Goddard) merely said he had got ‘a bit of paper,’ which was ihe reason why she tried to prevent her son from being ‘torn to pieces;’ that the complainants kicked her about shamefully. The wite said she stood in her husband’s defence, and did not take up a stone she had been kicked. Mr. Chetwode said con- must be protected in the execution of their If Stuchfield merely said that lee duty. rant to d without a warrant, he was ameni le to law. This was a serfous charge, o1 which they could not deal with ane but which must be sent to the quarter session, It was family set the eases, he w at de- be sorry to commit them all for trial, he could not see what else could be done, untess they could find bail for their. a; ance. The wife oi the young man said he had two children, and at times they had not a bitof bread for two days together — The mother said her husband, when at work on the road, had 6s. per week. The parties were lib- erated on entering intoa bond tor their.appear- ance at the quarter sessi Mr. Ghetwode said a warrant would beforthwith issued against Daniel Botley, the father, and if resistance were again ear » they would be deeper in the mire than be- jore.. * On thisoccasion} Ridgeway’s ease, which had been adjourned the previous week, was gone into. Ridgeway did not appear, and the jarmer for whom he had alleged that he was at work at the time of the offence, sent to cay that that, was not true. “It was stated to the bench that Ridgeway had been twice before imprisoned for game law offen- ces; and he wassenicnoed 10 three months’ impri- fonment, in default of the payment of a penalty of £5. with costa, 10s.” No one who hus read the foregoing reports will be surprised that the maa did not appear, for it 18 plain that prosecution and conviction for game-law convertible terms , and a labourer who twice imprisoned forgame-law offences” knew that for him there wasno mercy. This man, then, has been compelled to become a starving vagabond ; will it not be wonderful if he does not become a desperate criminal? Government or Tue Cuenoxer Nation.—The removal of the great maseot the Cherokee People trom their ‘beloved land,” now partitioned be- tween the States « f Georgia, North Curolina, Ala- hama, and Tennessee, was forcibly effected by the United States, in 1888, under circumstances of al- most unparalleled haraships, disease and suffering In the succeeding year they arrived in the present Cherokee country—entered into an act of Union. with: those of their brothers, who had preceded them thither, some by many years. and mutually adopted, under the ‘style and title of the Cherokee Nation,” their existing government,. Of this gov- ernment we present below a synopsis, intending to felon, itshortly with the Constitution and Laws, in fall: The Government of the Cherokee Nation is Re- publican—and is composed of the Executive, Le- gislative, and Judicial Departments The Executive Department con: pal chiet, an assistant principal chief, tve council of five members. The principal and ant chiefs are elected once in every four years, by a majority of the qual- ified voters of the nation; every sane male Chero- kee citizen, who has attuined the age of eighteen years, being entitled to vote. " Tt is the duty of the. principal chief to see that the laws are Tegner? enforced, und to discharge those functions usually vested in an executive head He'is empowered with the veto and the power of pardoning persons convicted and sentenced to pun- ishment for capital crimes, under certain restric- tions The legislative department consists of the nation- al committee and the council—each of the eight districts into, which the nation is divided, being represented by two members in the former branch, and three in the latter. These members are elected im the same manner as the chiefs, once every two years. They meet annually, at Tahlequah, on the first Monday in October, in National Conncil, to legis lateupon the general affairs of the Nation. No bill can become a law until it has received the concurrence of both branches of the National Council, and the approval of the principal chief {n case the principal chief disapproved of any bill, which has passed the National Council, he returns it with, his objections in writing, to the body in which it originated. A vote of two-thirds of the members of the National Council, is necessary to make any bill a law, the passage of which has been objected to by the principal chief. The powers of the National Committee and the Goines are the same, except in cases of impeach- ment, and appropriations of money. All appropria- tions originate in Council, but are subject to ap- proval, modification, or rejection, by the National Committee. pt . Impeachment for violation or neglect of duty may be tendered by the Council against any public officer ot the Nation. The Natinnal Cominittee then become a specially constituted court for the trial of such case. i ‘ Members of the National Council receive for their services a per diem of three dollars, while they are in session. P The Judiciary 19 divided into the Supreme, the Circuit, and the District Courts, whose Le bara duties and jurisdiction are clearly defined of law. The Supreme Court consists of a Chief Justice and four associates—the Circuit Court of a judge for each of the eight districts. _ All judges are elected by a joint vote of the com- mittee and council. The Supreme judges hold their seats for the term of four years, the Circuit two years, and the district one year. The first receive a per diem of five dol lars, while engaged in holding Court--the second two handred and fifty dollars per annum, and the last one hundred dollars. 4 In addition to these officers,there is also a sherifl for each district, whois elected by the voters of his district, every two years, and whe receives for his services a salary of two hundred dollars per anaum. The right of trial by an impartial jury of his countrymen, and of being controuted face to face by his accasers and witnesses, and advice, is secured to every personamenable to and charged with an infraction of the laws ot the Cherokee tion. a ‘The laws of the Cherokees are not sanguinsry, nor wonecessarily severe —murder and treason beiwg the only crimes punishable with death. Thefts, asson and similar offences with, strives. Debts are recoverable by law. The property of the wife cannot be sold without her consent, to satisfy debts contracted by her husband, and vice versa. The Cherokees have no system of taxation. All expenses attending the administration of their pub lic affairs are detrayed out of annuities received from the United States : . The public funds of the nation are placed in the hands of a national treasurer, who gives bond and good security for their sate keeping and disburse. ment according to law. Betore the national trea- surer can pay out any funds entrusted to hie care, on any account whatever, an appropriation, autho- rising him to do so, must be first made by the Na- tional Conncil, by special enactment, anda warrant be issued thereon by the principal chief. All persons holding office under the Executive, Legislative and Judicial departments of the govern- ment of this nation, are required, before entering upon the discharge of their duties, to take oath tc support and detend its constitution and lawa Orricers oF 7 pene ee med trve—John Ross, Principal Chief; George Lowery, Assistant Chiet ; Richard Taylor, Jehn Looney, Thigh \alipi Engle, Big Pheasant, Executive Council.

For the es- cial information of all such, we make public the following statement, which conveys at a glance the whole modus ‘i of this interesting process. Each State elects, after the manner prescribed by its Legislature, a number of electors equal to its representation in the two houses of Congress. As, forillustration, Pennsylvania has 24 Representatives and 2 Senators in Congress, and is entitled to 26 electoral votes.

The great eat praise is bestowed upon the merits of this young, eminent artist, by all lovers of music; but ia particular we would here give the opinion of Mr. Schartenberg, which, of course, is of much reater consequence to the public than our own. iss Josephine Bramson, he says, executes the most difficult parts with great skill, and her style is good and easy; distinguished ah: especially inher “Andante,” which but proves that her very soul has already been seized by the spark of true genius. “ The particulars of the concert will be given at another time.
