The following circular has been handed to US

behooves every ons who takes interest in the re-

TO THE SUBSCRIBERS AND FRIENDS OF THE OPERA
HOUSE.
meeting of the subscribers of the New Or
leans Opera House has been held, for the purpose
of adopting such measures as might be thought
necessary or advisable to the future exist.
ence Of the opera in New Orleans, and procure in
advance such an amount of subscriptions as wil
enable the managers to establish their estimates,
and give 10 the artists whom they wish to engage
sufficient security for the fulflment Of their en-
gsgements for the coming season OF 1868, and
1863.
To effect this object it was found necessary
that subscriptions snoud be secured for about 600
seats, embracing the parquet seats, the lattice
boxes adjoining the parquet, the dress circle and
the lattice boxes in rear thereof. The amount
subscribed for the seats just enumerated would
be sufficient to pay the salaries of artists and ex.
penses of the management.
so as to meet the wishes Of many who desire to
subscribe, the management will make such alter
enable subscribers to take two seats, instead Of
four.
In order to promote subscriptions the manage
ment will make the same payable in six install
meuts to-wit: one-sxth dol on the 18th of No.
vember, 1868, and the balance in five equal
monthly instalments after said 18th November,
1868.
The administration will bind itself not to sell
standing tickets in the dress CIRCLE or tickets for
more than the seats thus subscribed for.
At said meeting il was also resolved that those
who subscribe for the coming season will be called
together by the executive committee, through its
chairman, and the meeting so called will decide IL
the subscriptions then obtained are sufficient to
the continuance Of the opera for the coming
season, and until said question is decided, as thus
provided for, no subscription will be binding or OF
any force.
The undersigned executive committee, ap-
pointed under the resolutions adopted, trust that
you will make their labor light by readily assist

scrbers whom they represent

Tur TvpnN TRIEES.-Mr. Van Horn,
cu,,, rho Committee on Indian Affairs, has
,.,arrcJ bill to consolidate the Indian
nitcg and organize system of government
in the Indian Territory TO be known as the
Territory Of Oklahoma. The tribes in
su,h Territory are TO retain all rights &C.
cured to them by treaty. Subject to these,
the government of the Territory is to be
vested in Governor appointed by the Pre-
sil"nt, Secretary appointed in like man
ucr, and Legislative Council composed of
one member from each tribe of more than
i've hundred persons, and an additional
member for every one thousand persons, or
ly the chiefs Of the tribes as selected by
tribal usage. Every adult male Indian
shall be entitled to vote for or be elected
member to the Council. The laws to be

ming the tribal with territorial government,
