FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE LATE

Sir: regret 10 report that the election held on
the 7th Of August, in the Cherokee nation, was
accompanied at one precinct with q serious dis
turbance. Rumors of the affair reached this place

occur and render necessary the interpositon OF a

II is understood that Mr. Ross has been re elected
principal Chief by handsome majority.

show that such is the feeling Of the opponents eff
Walters not only in this region, we have beep
permitted to make the following extract from a
private letter to a relative in this place, from
distinguished senator OF the southwest:
"Waltcr5 has been reelected public printer in
spite Of all our opposition. Tell your editor not
to shcdhe his sword or give up the war; until
Walters is yanquished. hope the spirit of the
independent presses will not be humhlcd or 81
fenced. The time has como, and now Is, that the
republic is morc in danger from its nominal friends
than it's real enemies. The independent press
must chang its banner on the outer wall, and
expose the in,rigucs Of corrupt eabll ,hat
hrcaihcs its poison through the columns of the
State Register. Every man in the state who has
the Independence 30 act for himself is to be 'rhs
pered or written down "by order of the Springfield
clique" This is no fancy picture, bot naked re-
atty. The impotence of the senior editor of the
Register has been rebukcd 10y a senator in his
place. lie charged home his lulsehood upon him,
and denounced him as a vile slandcrer base ca
lumniator aud villain. The reporters were rc-
quested to take down what he said, but fancy it
will not find its way into the columns Of the Re-
gistcr."
Now, all this i'll feeling might have been allny-
ed, and perfect harmony restored to the party by
the election ofany other man but Walters. There
is not paper in the stale, nor distinguished de-
mocra,, who would have objected to the election
of Zieber, Brooks, or Mcdonald. But we believe
a majority Of the party dissatisfied with the
election of Walters, aud VIC think have, there
fore, very good reason TO complain.

Judge. OF the suprcn, Court.

BY reference to the reports of legislative pro-
cecdings in another column, it will be seen lha,
the vacancies occasoncd by the resignation Of
Judges Smith, Ford, and Breese have been flied
by the election of Gen. James Scmplc TO the 81,
Col. Richard NJ. Young to the 9TH, and Gen.
John NJ. Robinson to the 9th judicial circuits
Gen. Semple was the unanimous choice Of the 81
circuit without distinction of party, and was cleo
ted without oppostion.--Col. Young was the
second choice OF majority of the members of the
legislature from the It'll circuit-Gen. Robinson,
we understand was not candidate for the Office,
but was brought forward by his friends in the
caucus after it had become apparent that neither
Mcssrs. Peters, Purple or Cation, the candidates
from the circuit, could receive the nomination.
Gen. Robinson has been long rcsidcn. Of the
state, and has always enjoyed, in an eminent de-
gree, the confidence of the people. His legal at
tainments are represented as highly respectable,
and his moral character is irrcproachabIc Gen.
r. for eleven years, prior to March 4, 1871, re-
presented this state in the Senate Of tho United
States, and was during hislong term respected and
esteemed by his associates in the Senate of both
political parties, for the urbanity of his manners
and the unwavering and consistent support of the
principles and measures of the democratic party,
Altho' not tho first choice of any portion Of the
delegation from this circuit, we believe that the
election Of Gen. X. will give general satisfaction,
We tender to Judge Robinson cordial welcome
to the circuit.
The action Of the democratic members OF the
legislature, has thus far been conducted in spirit
Of harmony and sclfdcnial--a ready and cheer
full acquiescencc in tho decisions Of the majority
in caucus, which not only reflects the highest
honor upon themselves but augurs well for the
continued and permanent, ascendcncy of the de-
mocraiic party.

completion Of the canal. WepubI.sh the bill en-
tire so that our readers may see and judge for
themselves The fate Of the bill ia its present
shape is uncertain, yet we have strong hopes of
its passage in some shape tina, will prove advnn-
tageous to the canal. Various spcculalions are
a1oat in regard it, Of which friend Of ours at the
scat Of government speaks in his communication
this week. We sincerely hope his opinions are
not well founded, and that the welfare of the state
is not to be jcopardizcd to crafty the malignant
feelings of legislators, who are sent 10 the councils
of the state to guard and defend the best interests
of the people. Good God is it possible that the
best interests Of the norih--the welfare of the
whole statc-and the prosperity aud happiness
of tho people, are thus to be sacrlicedthus 10 be

case, and hope that reason and good-ieelings will
yet supercede jealousy and hatred.

WesSrs. H'Sc and OiRiaa-lhe past week has
been so much taken up by the legislature in c,cc-
tons, that not much else of interest has been ac-
compIlshcd. The bill for putting the state bank
into liquidation is still pending in the senate, and
has elected much discussion. Numerous amend.
ments have been proposed, and some adopted.
Some senators seem disposed to embarrass the bill
by amendments and thus defeat it. Suill, public
sentiment calls loudly for the law, or something
similar to it.

been flied by the election of Mcssrs Semple

perhaps, ought TO say misconduct, of northern

come from the line of the canal have assumed to
take this matter under their especial guardianship
and vet il requires some one to "guard the guard

The subject of congressional districts is still be-

got into such snarl, that it is doubtful if they
will do any thing, bu, the whole subject will have
to be disposed of in the legislature. The plan at
present most likely to succeed is to make district
across the north end of the state, embracing Cook
and Jo Daviess. This is received with consIdcra-
