ing, chief of the Cherokees, who ex-
pressed the pleasure it gave him to listen
to the speeches of the friends in favor of
the Indian race, once powerful on this
continent now powerless. They only
asked for their rights. He felt great So
licitude for his race and nation. He was
proud of bis country, and thought he had
reason to be so. He referred to their
condition in Georgia, and their suffering
and hindrances in improvement under Its
laws, till finally they were driven beyond
the Mississippi. Then they received a
pledge that they should not be removed
again SO long as grass grew and water
run. They had increased and developed
rapidly, from $4,000, in 1887 and 1889, 10
%, 900 in 1850, and continued to increase
innumbers and wealth until the breaking
out OF the rebellion.
"When the country became battle field
devastated by both sides, he was d Colonel
in the United States army, and knew OF what
he spoke. Not a COW, not horse, not a
sheep was left, where before had been mil
lions. They were now so poor and destitute
as to need help. The Cherokee constitution
was modelled on that of the United States,
with changes to suit the circumstances. He
wished to state particularly that poiygamy
was forbidden. They were now Christians,
with over a hundred native ministers, and
many churches and meeting houses IL each
OF their nine Districts

WASHES NEW FURNISHING GooDS.-The
amount of taste displayed by Mr.. Is. 7.
Walshe, No. 10 Canal street, in the selec-
ton of his spring stock this seacon, has been
matter of considerable comment among
the habitues Of Canal street during the past
week. Such beautiful cravats and ties,
splendid undergarments, gloves, handker'
chiefs, etc., rarely has been seen on this
side of the Atlantic, while his prices are so
reasonable that those splendid goods are
placed within the reach OF every one. Be
sides the above named goode, Mr.. Walshe
has also a general assortment of reasonable
goods for children, which parents would
do well to go and inspect. Mr.. Walshe be-
lieves in quick sales and small profits. His
goods are always as stylish as any to be
found in the country, and hsving been
manufactured expressly for his sales, are re-
liable in every respect. Go and look at
them,

We are pleased to see that ther is deter
minaticn on the part of the gentlemen who
have in charge the matter of celebrating the
adoption OF the fifteenth amendment to the
constitution of the United States, in an ap-
propriate manner, on the thrtieth day OF
this month. We earnestly hope it will be
a success. 1t is Of all others the most i'm
portant event in the history OF the republic
since the adoption of the constitution OF the
United States. BY its adoption the spirit OF
the immortal words all men are created
free and equal will have become living
fact, and will last through all ages.

The attention of the new city Administra-
tors is respectfully called to the dilapidated
coalition Of the bridges at the intersection
OF Banks and Common streets, and also at
the corner of Dorgenois and Banks streets.
Both Of the bridges at the intersections
above named are in horrible condition,
rendering a passage by either pedestrians
or vehicles matter of impossibility. A
taxpayer informs us that no less than nine
bridges in the vicinity OF the above named
streets are greatly in need Of filling, etc., in
order to make them useful instead of what
they now are, somewhat ornamental. The
citizens in the rear of the city have again
and again petitioned to the late Common
--"il to have plank walks erected on the
streets (there being no BAN
but all to no avail, no notice being
either petitioners or petition. We
lat the present Administrator of I'm
lents will look into this matter and
lat the necessities of the citizens IN
ar of the city are supplied.

A CARD.
cha u,&,rDy ~ tina Nav Orleans Times

70 the Editor OF tbs New Orleans Times:
In answer 10 M. Thomas H. Sbislds's card. pnbD
ished in yesterday q ing edition OF the Times
giving his reasons for signing. as President pro
tenn of the dsfunct Board of Aldermen. the ordi-
nance disposing OF the oity's stock in the acksou
Railroad have 20 say that his explanation is based
on pERvERsIoN or THE FACTS AND or TRUTH
If Mr. Shields will look at the ohciai report OF the
proceedn gs OF the Board of Aldermen on the night
Of March 25 1870 as published in tho them othclat
Journal of the corporation New Orleans Bniietin OF
Thursday. March BY. he will find
l. That l entered the room and took the CHAIR az
president ths board long before the ordinance to
provide for the sale of the jackson Railroad stocA'
uned by the city, was called up by MIR Poynot.
That did occupy the chair during tue DEBATE
on the ordinance; and
8. That on the vote being taken, Messrs. OiaY'
Peynot and Peesou voted in the affirmative, MI
Hassnger, and myself still in the chair n the mega
tive. and Messrs. Prados SHIELDS and Brady haF'
ing expressly declined to vote.
Not until AFTER the so-calied passage oftEe ordi-
,e by minority vote of three, did vscate the
chair, and call Mr.. Shields to it.
1t results from the foregoing that Mr.. Shields was
NOT Presid dent pro tenn of the Board when the ordl
nance was called up, debated and passed. and that,
consequently Mr. Shields had not the shadow Of
right to sign it as such.
As President of the Board of Aldermen and bav'
ing been in the chair when the ordinance directing
the sale of the city's stock in the Jackson Baroad
was called up. debated and passed, was the only
one aut horized by law to sign it.
After the meeting of the Board of Aldermen, on
the night of the ''passags" Of the ordinance, and
during more than forty eight hours after IT'S pas
sage, was Continuously present in town, and could
easily have been found if those who were interested
IN the disreputable scheme of selling the oaty 5
property for "a song" had intended 70 call on me
the president Of the board, for my signature
1t is true. they knew that would refuse TO sgu
it, as 1 hold that the ordinance was not passed by
the requisite number OF votes. and that couse
uuently it and is, null and void.
Mr.. Shields is very well aware of the real facts. as
above set forth, and reluctantly feel compelled to
repeat that BIZ Shields card in yesterdays Even
ing Times based on d PERvERsIoS or THE 7ACrs
AND OF TRUTH.
Very respectfully yours.

TIE POOR INDIANS,

A meeting in behalf of the Indians,
which was lately held at the Friends
Meeting House, New York, is reported in
the journals. The Cherokee delegation,
now on a visit to the East to maintain
their treaty rights, were present A letter
from the Indian commissioners was read,
stating what had been done by them, and
Mr. Aaron Powell spoke at length on the
Indian policy. 1t was, he thought, spe-
cially to the honor of President Grant
coming to power as the great military
chieftain, that he had chosen the peaceful
policy, appealing to the Quakers, since
they only had been, since PENIS time,
able to win the confidence of the Indians.
He was followed by Governor Down

GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICES AT BAR
RIEREs.-We direct the particular attention
of our lady readers to the advertisement Of
Mr.. F. G. Barricre & Co., No. 135 Canal
street, in which it is announced that in con-
sequence of the approaching expiration of
their firm, they will sell their entire stock at
greatly reduced prices. Messrs. Barriere &
Co. never publish humbug advertisements,
consequently they mean what they state.
Purchasers can, therefore, rely upon finding
very cheap goods, and an exceedingly large
stock to choose from. Ladies who wish to
buy their spring outfits could not do better
than give the store call.

An EYE TO THE PREMIUMS We have
heard of number of Western manufacture
ers who are coming to our city for the pur-
pose of competing for the premiums offered
By the Mechanics and Agricultural Associa.
ton at their approaching fair. Among
them are Messrs. Lane & Bodley, the cele-
brated engine and mill manufacturers, Of
Cincinnati, Ohio, member of the firm
having already arrived with a large lot of
machinery, which he is now engaged in
putting up on the Fair Grounds. At the
last fair, owing to the delay in putting the
machinery department into running order,
the public did not get good chance OF see
ing that important branch of mechanics
until day or two before the close, and
hence there was considerable disappOint-
ment on the part Of visitors. But this year
Messrs. Lane q Bodley are determined that
there shall be no such delay, and will have
their machines all ready before the opening
day. We are glad to be able to announce
this fact, and congratulate the association
on having such an entertrising firm among
its competitors. The different kinds of
articles manufactured by Messrs. Lane x
Bodley can be seen at Mr.. ". L. Cushins's,
corner of st. Charles and Union streets.

The ST.. JAMES HorEL.-Let all those who
have q penchant for good eating and COM
fertable, home!ike rooms, put in al appear
ance at the st. James Hotel. In company
with another newspaper man, we tried a
dinner there last week. and can certify to
good wines, sumptuous spread OF vlands
and artistic cooking. Colonel I. III. Hlg-
gins, the manager OF the establishment, and
Major O. F. Hickle. the head clerk, have
immortalized themselves by the revolution
they have worked in this hotel, and Ger
tainly deserve at least the thanks OF the
public. An attentive and courteous hotel
keeper is 3 useful citizen anywhere. He
brings strangers to the city and entsces them
to remain, and he spreads abroad the fame
of the place Of his habitetion. Both the
above named gentlemen are that sort of

TIE WuC0z & GIBBS SEWING MAC8INE.-
It Is now pretty generally conceded that the
above named machine is the best for family
use ever invented. The ease with which it
is operated upon. its freedom from the dis
agreeable racket of the others. its great
simplicity of construction, and the durabil-
ity of the sewing done upon it can not be
excelled by any at present in use. and
doubtless never will be. Mr.. II. S. Hedrick.
Nos 81 and l18 Canal street, is the agent
for these machines, and has them at prices
ranging from forty-fve dollars up. Go all
who have never seen them and examine for
yourselves.

M. Fehrenbach, as will be seen upon refer
ence to our columns this morning, has
opened large establishment at No. So
Baronne street, in which he will keep a
general assortment of the very best pianos,
such as Pleyels, Erard's and Bord's. He
receives lots of these celebrated instruments
by each arrival from Europe, and the pub
lie can rely upon having the benefit of his
great experience in making selection. Mr.
Fehrenbaoh also is prepared to repair and
tune all kinds of pianos and other musical
instruments. He deserves patronage, for
he is one of our Oldest and best citizens.

Az OLD ESTABLISHMENT UNDER A New
DIRECTION. As will be seen upon reference
to an advertisement published in another
column, Mr.. Ernest Turpin, the well-known
confectioner of No. SO Old Levee street, has
disposed of his entire stock and establish
ment to Messrs. J. Vilarrubia, j. A.
D'Hemecourt and Bernard Turpin, who will
hereafter conduct the business under the
name and style of J. Vallarrubia Co.
Although the gentlemen of this firm are all
among our Oldest citizens a few words re-
garding them in this new connection, so as
to place them precisely before our readers,
may not be out of place. Mr.. Fil!arrubia
was formerly of the celebrated old house OF
8. DeYisser & Co., and afterwards OF fillar.
rubia & Laughland, of Magazine street. He
has long enjoyed high reputation among
nero hants in this city for business talent and
integrity. Mr.. Jules D'Hemecourt is also a
lifetime citizen of New Orleans, and as
civil engineer and city surveyor, Or manu-
facturer and man of enlightened enterprise,
has few equals, and no superiors here. Mr..
Bernard Turpin is the father of Mr.. Ernest
Turpin, the late proprietor, and has been
identified with the mercantile business OF
New Orleans for over forty years, and
ranked with the ablest and best alTays.
We wish the new firm all success.
