from the decision of any alderman in the city ;
hear and determine certiorari eases, Whore the
proceedings have boon had before any al
derman; change the present absurd fee-bill,
and provide that all process shall be uniform in
price, and issue out of the County Treasurer's
office, under the seal of the county ; that the
aldermen shall charge only the same price
that they pay therefor; further, that the ap
peal cases shall be heard ih The Court of Al
dermen," before the president judge, and two
associates, without a Jury, unless expressly
demanded by ono of the parties to the appeal;
that such jury shall consist of six jurors; that
the party applying for a jury trial shall pay
the jury fee—s4—at the time such demand is
made, the cost whereof shall ultimately be
borne by the party defeated at the trial, and
charged as "costs" ; that the president of the
court shall be elected by the people, from the
members of the Philadelphia bar, who, to be
eligible, shall have been a practising attorney
for at least ten years in the city of Philadel
phia; that the two associates shall be alder
men of the city of Philadelphia; that the terms
of court shall consist of two months, and be
held on•the first Mondays of January, March,
Miy, July, September, and November of each
year.
Ono great object would be attained by do-
ing away with appeals for the mere purposes
of delay; and the three judges of the Court
of Common Pleas (already charged with
the trial of cases instituted in that court,
both in law and equity, and also sitting as
judges of the Orphans' Court, Register's
Court, Court of Oyer and Terminer, and Quar
ter Sessions) would be relieved from tho trial
of appeal cases, and of hearing eases on cer-
orarl 'of the trifling character previously
noted and pointed out.
The bill should also provide that the - Court
of Aldermen should try all cases of simple as
saults and battery, assaults and breaches of the
Peace, which now occupy so very much of the
time of the Court of Quarter Sessions to the
great injury of the suitors in the other branches
of the courts, whose cases are imperfectly, be
cause they me hurriedly, tried—to say nothing
of the enormous expenses the county is put to
thereby, at n time when it is groaning under
the heavy taxation which this and other causes
inflict upon an overburdened population. The
alderman before whom any ease has been
card should be precluded from being upon
the bench when the same is on trial in the Al
dermen's Court. All the aldermen to be ex
officio associates of said court, and to sit alter
nately, 50 that, there shall always be ono or
two associates with the presiding or chief
ustice.
The advantages, iunong others, would be
-Ist. By simplifying the fee-bill extortion in
the shape of costs overcharged would be pre
onted; 411 every one would know that the
Price of all process would be the same.
2d. The aldermen would obtain their blanks
at the County Treasurer's other, weekly or
monthly, and charge only what they had
paid, as the cost thereof would be printed on
the writ.
Bd. Aldermen, sitting alternately as associate
justices of the court, would learn the law and
how to practice their duties; dignity would be
added to the office, ; inducements to partiality,
fraud, and , 4 to stir up quarrels and law suits"
would be removed ; and, at the same time,
the change would increase rectitude in the ad
ministration of justice, and tend to a repres
sion of petty and trifling litigations and perse
cutions, among the poorer classes of the com
munity especially.
4th. It would introduce better men into
oflice, who would not be ashamed to accept,
but feel honored by, a nomination.
rith. The portion of the aldermen now in
office who cannot, under any circumstances,
stoop to the role of the trading justice, would
ho benefited in every respect, and, therefore,
would be in Ctvor of the change front fee pay
ment to that of salary.
It is not proposed to abolish all the fees for
the benefit of aldermen, lint only such as au•e
incurred in nits at law, before them—be they
civil or criminal. Fees for taking iteknow-
lodgments, depositions to be used ia courts,
and others of like character, may still remain
untouched, for they work no evil, and are not
within the scope of those fees which convert
the alderman into ac a trading justice."
On reference to the appeal docket in the
office of the Prothonotary of the Cour
of Common Pleas, we find theme were tiled it
the terms ur December, 1858, and March
1859, appeals flout aldermen to the number ol
four hundred and one, besides certiorari cases,
to be decided and argued before the three
Judges, At the same ratio, the number fur
the year would be over eight hundred appeal
cases—an to be tried within nine months;
for there are no Jury trials In June, the sum
mer term ; or, rather, nay to be tried within a
period of six months, for two months of each
of the three terms are only appropriated for
jury trials ; which, being equally apportioned,
supposing they were alt tried, would be one
hundred and thirty.seven per month. The
judgments appealed front care in amount,
from $lOO to $O, in December term. A few
are here cited, to wit the judgments were—
sl2, $16.31, $17.30, $10.56, $11.50, $lB, $6;
$l5, $9.20, $7.92, $l5, $7, $8.25, $12.25,
$8.31, $9.62, $6, $l5, $12.50, $lO, $lO, $l2,

$ lB , $23,29, $16.34, $l5, $12.19, $10.83,
$5.99, &e., &c., &e.
To try these very important cases—three
learned and grave judges of the Court of Com
mon Pleas for the city and county of Philadel

chancellors in equity—Judges of the Orphans'

I would not say anything that could be tortnred
Into opposing our young men of means and leisure
going to Europo. Travel is calculated to develop
the mind by furnishing now material, and of course
a larger ecopo for thought:
"I rather would entreat thy company.
To eee the wanders of the world abroad,
Then limn dully elugtardtz'd at home,
Wear out thy booth with alieueleraidlenettlt"
But the European continent is not tho only place
to which travellers can go, for there are many in
our widely extended republic, which, if they do not
offer as many tempting fascinations to the epicure.
to the lover of dainty ease and itilurions living, do
promise adventure, Spartan dishes and lusty vigor.
And it would not be n serious drawback to an
American going abroad to know of the immense
frontier of hie own country, of the Indian tribes, of
the far-stretching fertile plains, and the growing
young States and Territories, whose agricultural
resources bid oven now in their development to
make this the granary of the earth. To bo aura.
petty annoyances aro to be met with daily. A
man will find it not so pleasant at first to ride
horseback hundreds upon hundreds of miles. Per
haps a conch or railway train would be preferable.
Some might believe that parched corn and
water are not superior to champagne, smothered

phia cook can fashion out to tempt a Saint An

makes capital steady food, and needs little time
for preparation. At first, too, a man may, like
the famous John Gilpin, got " galled in his seat,"
and be forced to endure suffering after the manner
described in the book of Job. These are forgot:
ton in a little while, and one begins to grow obli
vious of the convenience of a good bed. Soon you
learn to delight in slumbering upon the ground,
near some living stream that murmurs through
the tangled wild wood, to rise and retire with the
son, to view the ever-varying and entrancing
beauties of prairie and woodland, and the grand
old rocks up-tumbled, towering and scattered in
all sorts of confusion, and to study the manners,
habits, and lives of the aboriginal red men, who
are rapidly sinking, as distinct peoples, into histo
rical recollections, and filling mainly the hoagies
tire pages of our romancers.
I have heard those who have become fond of the
wild life out hero speak with horror of returning
to the restraints of civilized life beyond the settle
ments. lint I must, as ft ttuthedl narrator, tell
that after a hard day's ride in a hostile Indian
country, with nothing but muddy water to drink
with your parched corn, a drenching rain, and no
opportunity to make a fire, it is difficult to keep
down a B(incntnish affection for home, its comforts,
and the good things, edible and bibible, that gar
nish its board.
My last letter left mo at the First Crossing of the
Canadian. Since then, I have seen much of this
Indian country. In reference to one or two things
I have purposely maintained silence, with a view
to getting all the information I could before I
wrote anything. One is the 15th parallel route to
California. I will, when I start for home, write '
you all I have learned on those subjects.
The Indian Territory, so called, lies mostly to
the west of Arkansas and to the north and north
east of Texas. It etnbraces an immense extent of
country, and is inhabited by Indians hostile to the
whites end by Indians friendly to the whites, by
those who have made decent strides toward the ha
bits of civilized life and by those who are as false,
thievish, sanguinary and savage as any ever were
known to be. There aro Quapawe, Shawnees,
Osages, Senecas, Pawnees, Delawares, Cherokees,
Choctaws, Creeks, Kickapoos, Seminoles, Coman
ches, Mojaves, and so on. You will find here de
seendants of those who met Penn under the Elm at
Kensington, and Indians whose names aro just get
ting
known. Bore are the children and grand
children and great-grandchildren of those who
like the glorious Mingo chief, Logan, ever
loved the whites, of those who fought with us
and those who fought against us in the French war
of 175 U and the war of the Revolution. Mere are
the once allies of England, who greedily seconded
tho proclamation offering rewards for American
scalps, and not American prisoners ; the once allies
of France, who helped ambush Braddock; those
who aro descended from the Five Nations; and
living representatives of Pontiac's gigantic confe
deracy. Tribes that were powerful and dangerous
not half a century ago, have become extinct, or their
deseentlentsare intermingled with other tribes, here
or elsewhere. It remains to be seen whether all will
disappear during this century. as I have heard it
urged, by disease, war, or intermarriage with Mexi
cans, negroes, and the whites. I suggested to an
old trapper that the bunk, would soon be killed
off, when hundreds of thousands of them are slaugh
tered each year for their robes and tongues only,
and that the Indians would then be left now her
resource than to become farmers or starve. Ue
told me that he bad seen the Indians goloser tiftco
year, and that ho could prophe-y they would all be
gone when droves of buffalo thundered upon the
plat 113.
It is not to be wondered that little of this terri
tory should be known in the East when it is te
membered that but little has been written of it, but
it is strange to find among the chief men of the
tribes, and those, too, most advanced in civiliza
tion, such a general ignorance of the history CI
their own people. What I know I have picked up
from various sources. I might enlarge upon the
points in the history of some of the tribes like the
Creeks. Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws. te.,
but a newspaper correspondence is hardly the
place for such an effort, however interesting the
facts given might be. I only aim, without being
elaborate, to be plain, brief, and accurate.
The Museogees, or Creeks, the Pafallayes, or
Choctaws, and the Chickasaws, hat ebeon trued as
far back as the Spanish invasion of Hernando
Cortex early in the sixteenth century, when they
formed a separate Republic upon the northwest of
Mexico. Upon Montezumas' fall they wandered
east, dispossessing other tribes, until finally they
were found by De Solo and his gorgeous and chi
valric warriors occupying the broad savannahs and
shady forests of the south, now the States of
Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, and South
Carolina. Through their country went the Span•
lards in search for gold, and in their midst were se
cured only unmarked graves—save by Do Soto
himself, whose discovery of the Mississippi river at
the Chickasaw Ford in May, 1511, gave him im
mortal renown They were under Spanish domi
nion, then under French rule, and finally under
our own. They were thinned off year after year
by wars with each ether and with the whites, and
as settlements of our people increased on their
lands, what were left of them were removed to the
region from which I write. The Seminoles, or
runaway Creeks, after bloody opposition. have only
within a year turned their streaming, eyes and un
willing steps from the paves of their fathers and
the houses they loved.
It is related in Pickett's able and interesting
history of Alabama that the Muscogee learned
men ran their traditions back beyond their cross
ing the Isthmus of Darien, when the tribe flour
ished in Asia. Said the Big Warrior, My ances
tors were a mighty people. After they reached
the WIWI'S of the Alabama, and took possession of
all this country, they trent further, conquered the
tribes upon the Chattahooehie, and upon all
the rivers from thence to the Savannah—yes, and
oven whipped the Indians then living in the terri
tory of South Carolina, and wrested much of their
country front them." Mr. Pickett states that the
Big Warrior concluded this sentence with great ex
ultation, when Mr Cotnpore, a Baptist missionary,
to whom he was speaking, interposed an unfortu
nate qutstion: " If this is the way your ancestors
acquired all the territory now lying in Georgia,
how can you blame the American population in
that State fur endeavoring to take it from you "
This was in 1822.
Of the Chalaques, or Cherokees, little is known
before the occupancy of America by the British.
It Is stated Powhatan and Pocahontas were of
their race.
The Creeks have always been a warlike people.
Like the Romans, they adopted the nations they
subdued, and the tribe now represents the Natches,
the lichees, and others, which, in their day, were
large and powerful nations.
All, I believe, worshipped the son. Many re
semblances of their festivals to the Jewish rites
have given rise to ingenious thiorics to show their
descent from the lost tribes of bred. Their ex
travagant fondness for liquor evinces that, at least,
they have the passion of one of those tribes not
oothrlinontarily known as the " Drunkards of
TWO CENTS.
Ephraim." This is a good point for your cor
respondent " Graybeard," and I would not trench
upon his rightful ground for worlds.
Tho Indians at present may be divided into the
civilized and the old fogies or slick shins. The
former are the whites who Wave intermarried with
them, and the half and quarter breeds; the latter
of those who keep up the old habits and customs
exhibit a refreshing disregard of clothing in the
warm weather, and are believers In the medicine
men, the prophets, and the superstitions of their
ancestors, so far as they have been handed down
to them. There are Creeks, Cherokees, and Choc
taws, indistinguishable from whites of the beet
class. some are worth millions. None of these,
however, aro of the full blood that I know of. In-
deed, it would be hard to say whether the prepon
derance of blood in the Cherokee nation is white
or black. In the Creeks and Seminoles there is a
good deal of negro blood.
In my next I will take up my wanderings where
I left them. WANDERER.

Extract from a Speech
RADE RY COLONET. JAMES W. WALL AT A RECENT
In entering upon a State canvass, matters per
taining to State issues are perhaps the only legiti
mate subjects of discussion. — But in the present
agitation in the political world without, it was
thought necessary by our State Democratic Con
vention that the position of the Democratic party
upon this vexed question of slavery should be de
fined. It has become a question which, like
Aaron's rod, is swallowing np all others. That
resolution accorded with my views at the lime,
and so it did with the iews of au old-line Demo-
crat, a delegate from Warren who, after it had
been passed, said very emphatically, " Titers,
nom, ire hare larded old Burk up, and put hint
hark again upon the etuctunati platform, and
if he .aides of this time, why, let him go to
the d-1."
Now. I am not going to inflict upon you to-night
the thrice-told tale of the argument upon the Fab.
ject of popular sovereignty in the Terntories. But
I simply allude to it to say that, as I understand
the resolution of our New Jersey Convention, it is
simply a reiteration of the Democratic doctrine
upon the subject—the doctrine of non-interven
tion; non-intervention by Executive dictation;
non-intervention by Cabinet ministers ; non-inter
vention by Congressional legislation; non-interven
tion by party hacks for political purposes—in a
word, non-intervention by Northern or Southern
fanatics, Sharp's rides, or emigrant aid societies ;
simply leaving this whole question, under the pro
tection of the Constitution and the courts, where
the framers of the Constitution intended it should
be left, and where the Democratic party, when
ever they have had no interference with their ac
tion from without, have always been willing to
leave it. I have read some and thought some upon
this question, but so much has been said upon it
lately that the ear is pained and the soul made sick
with the continual discussion; and I generally now
avoid a speech upon the subject, as I would a ser
mon on predestination, the trinity, or justification
by faith. lem glad, too, to find that our Repub
lican friends are sick of it, as I am, for I perceive
they have ignored it altogether in their resolutions
at their State Convention: although. for them. this
involves the absurdity of playing Hamlet with the
part of Hamlet omitted by particular request
But it is whispered, in the beat-informed political
circles, that this was a stroke of policy to conciliate
the American influence.
The Democracy of this State were foolish enough
to quarrel with cash other lately upon an ismie
maio up for them at Washington; and I rather
think that those who opposed the Administration
were more favored by it than those who sympathie d
with it The advocates of the Administration pol
icy in New Jersey got about as much sympathy
from the Administration at Washington as did
that worthy in the Old Testament from his pre
tended friend, who, while saluting him with the
kindly question, " is it well with thee, my broth
er? " at the same time was quietly inserting six
inches of cold steel between his ribs. And as for
the opponents of the Administration, why, I believe
one of them was rewarded with a foreign mission,
ns a aliiht murk of the President's esteem, for the
many bitter things he had said of him. But when
the smoke of this foolish contest cleared away, and
we could look each other in the faces, we soon
found that our differences could easily be made up.
We soon agreed in opinion about the Administra
tion and 13.9 for our differences about Leenrupton
nr anti•Lecomptonisru, they were most easily set
tled; and now we have shaken hands once more,
we shall go into this contest as of old, shoulder to
shoulder, under ono flag and against a common
enemy.
Nonh , s Ark and the Great Eastern.
The Great Eastern is 133 feet longer than was
the Ark, and about 3 feet deeper, but not so broad
within ft feet. As an illustration of the change in
ideas of navigation which the building of the Great
Eastern is calculated to produce, we will quote
the following paragraph from an elaborate article
issued sem* thirteen years since, in the Mirth of
England and Quarterly, on the Deluge, and re
published in la wit's living Age:
Now, as it is clearly impossible that a vessel of
the length and breadth of the Ark could be other
wise than a floating vessel, designed entirely for
perfectly still waters., we have supposed it to be
flat-bottomed and straight-sided, both as making
it the more buoyant and as giving to it the greatest
capacity. It was devoid of all sailing properties,
bad neither rigging nor rudder; its build was
that of a huge float, to all outward appearance
wholly at the mercy of the winds end the waves,
liable to be drifted or driven about according
es currents or winds for the time prevailed
but, as we shall show, the Ark could not for a
moment have been subjected to the influence
of either winds or tides. The extraordinary
length of the Ark proves, at once, the miraculous
power that 11 , 35, at every moment, in exercise for
its preservation. since no vessel of the Arks pro
portions could naturally live in disturbed waters;
the very first ware that rote would inequably
brea4 its back and rend it entirely asunder ; nor
with all our experietwe in shipbuilding would it
be possible to construes a vessel of the ArL's pro
portions and navigate it front Dover to Calais
in rough weather—the least swell of the ocean, by
raising ono end and depressing tko other, would
break it in the middle and cause it to founder.
nor could any possible contrivance or ingenuity of
construction prevent this consequence. And if the
very peculiar construction of the Ark had not made
such a conclusion irresistible, the purpose for
which it was built would have proved that such
was the fact, for had the Ark pitched In the least
from the swell of the waves, or rolled at all from
side to side under the influence of the wind,
which, from its great length and little width, it
mast viost distressingly hare done. the whole
world of animals therein contained could not have
kept their footing; of very necessity, therefore, a
dead calm must have prevailed around the Ark
during the whole of the one hundred and fifty days
that it was floating on the waters.

The Maine Election.

I.a.st rear the Democrnes was beaten .1 COL and now
Douelesiem to 12.0.0 behind. in the counties marshaled
by the Douslas leaden. the Democracy suffer very heavy
losses ; while in two, where the warts' stood up for Le
ecninonism. and Buchanan, they flit held their last
year a Vote.
The above statement. emanating from a quasi
Democratic paper, and extensively copied by all
kindred journals intent upon the disintegration of
the Democratic party, was unfortunate, in view of
the purpose which they had in view.
By comparing the strength of the Democratic
party in Maine, at the recent election, with its
strength at the Presidential election. we find a
very large gain to the Democracy in the two years.
At the Presidential election in 1551, the vote
was—
Fremont
Buchanan. 39,050
Fillmore 1 32S
Showing a majority over Buchanan of 31,424.
The recent contest, though fought " wit:rarely and
openly on the Douglas platform "—which is pre
sumed to mean that the entire Democracy of that
State are in sentiment with Judge Douglas—shows
that the Democratic party, since the Presidential
election, have reduced the Republican majority
nearly twenty thousand.—Washington States.

three weeks to reconsider or leave the country. At
the expiration of that time. Bunch still declining
toheal the wounds ho had indicted, the determined
parent, restive with the sense of wounded honor
