NOTES AND QUERIES.

Indians contrary to law. The accused 81
with modest patience upon long bench mel
the south wall of the court room. Fl
Honor was mounted in his usual place an
preserved his customary attitude and appear
ance and conserving dignity. The juror
ranged round next the western and norther
walls and yawned while they whitfield an
Whitfield while they masticated the cheerin
quid. Interspersed among the crowd wer
witnesses and the curious. Struggled up to
semi circular table of justice were the attor
neys. Counsellor Coffin, for the majesty o
the law-dignitat,snl lsgis--assumed that placic
aspect which comes of a determination tt
v.ndicate the sovereignty and preserve the
peace of the commonwealth; and Col. Ellis
Of counsel for the defendant was not less
placldly fondling the head of his cane and
smiling away all possibility of guilt upon the
part of his clients. In the buzz of preparation
and while the cause was waiting for the tardy
witnesses, there was 8 general undertone OF
remark emitted by small squads Of comment
ors in all quarters of the room. Notably this
quarters. Decoroos Judge Wells was there
His habitual self confluence was manifest
Something Of levity in the direction of Coffin
and Ellis was observed. There was dispo-
stioa to make light of the press and chaff its
representative. There was nothing to com
plain Of in all this, but this annotator was
panied to detect distinct and rather pigment
profanity running through the average con-
verse, His Honor permitted himself to be
Intercepted as to the admissibility Of such
vicious practices i'll his presence and Office.
There came upon the Judges amiable face
smile as lie admitted that he had become
accustomed to pretty stout swearing, on and
of the stand. Justice gets itself admins
tered by crisp courses and without the inter
vention Of hindering and ve1atious formalities

Of the stiff and formal cut As to the Indi-
ans who had been feloniously stimulated, it
was remar ked in our presence by Col. Ellis that
the red man seemed to exhibit Democratic
propensties il thus taking kindly to the
ardents Judge Wells gravely remarked that
any Indian who would vote the Democratic
ticket must he Z Chipaman. District At |
Uorney Coffin calculated II concur" and |
while the bon mot was being swallowed and |
digested, this Querist betook himself to the
more solemn scenes Of the meeting of the |
Board OF County Commissioners. There is
10 careless levity there. President ellison
presides with much severity of deneanor.
His rigid manner compells g suppression of
Judge lLorris's native leVity and induces
timely abandonment of his jocund manner
by Commissioner Willis. AS to the clerk,
and the solelnnity OF the occasion fairly
burned into his features. This commentator
vas witness SO q movement to adjourn, which
II point Of Tormahty and inpressiveness
would have been notable even in the House $
IF Lords . 1Ir, Harry Peters has resigned /
The Office Of County Treasurer. His resig- {
nation was accepted yesterday The County I
Commissioners have appointed in place of the
'etiriug treasurer, Dir James Fraser of this '
