MRs. MYRA CLARK GAINES has written O.
letter to the New Orleans Times, defending
the fair fame of her father and mother
from the aspersions Of q writer who pro-
poses to publish in that paper an article
on 'The Facts of the Gaines Case as de-
cided by the Supreme Court" She shows
that her parents were both highly esteem
ed in the communities in which they lived,
and that the will of her father, acknowl-
edging her legitimacy, and bequeathing to
her his entire estate, was fully established
by the Supreme Court of Louisiana. In
answer to the assertion that, ''with the ex-
ception Of the property recovered from the
Slidell estate, estimated at about SIS, 900
aud which we suppose was yielded to pre-
vent confscation, the great suit has been
productive of nothing but expense, and, in
the opinion of many, never viii yield the i'm
mense sum spent in carrying it on, /" she re-
plies that the Supreme Court Of the United
States, at the term Of 1848, decided the
Patterson case in her favor; and again, al
the term of 1860, decided the Hennen case
in her favor, which settled all the princi
4 Piles involved as regards her rights in her
.father's estate; and that, in April last, with
five new judges on the bench, the samt
principles were reiterated in the decisions
against the city of New Orleans and 9th
ers. In conclusion, she says MY hear
over6ows with gratitude tony God, and I,
the courts of my country, for the j1sticI
awarded me; and Ipraythat the remainde
of my life may be devoted TO doing ever
possible good, trusting that the moral ei
feet of my thirty-five years labor will no
be insvain and with the hope that the veal
and oppressed will never despair -.
