TIE MASS MEETING THIS EVENING AT
Four o'clock this evening we expect to see
sathered in and around st. Alphonsus Hall
ach concourse of people as will show
Rearly and empbatically how the Catholics
If Sew Orleans look upon tie infamous
Vets ofoppression inaugurated by Bismarck
N Germany. These acts have been SO
ully explained in our columns, that all our
readers must be perfectly copversant with
shem in all their details. We, therefore,
deem it unnecessary to do more than state
that this meeting is to protest against
these acts and to express our sympathy
with the oppressed, believing that every
Catholic will at once perceive that it is bis
sounden duty to add the weight and ip1lu-
ence OF his name and presence to the
soiemnity and Importance of tie occasion.
The members of the various Sections of |
the Catholic Militant Union are invited to !
join the procession of the German Sections
which will form at St. Mary's Schoolhoase,
Constance street, between jackson and
Josephine streets. The procession, headed
by band-of music, will start at 81 O'Clock,
and will proceed from the school house
through several Of the neighboring streets

about that wedding that ala not take

clusion that the belle took, advantage Of

transcripts from colored justices in
Mississippi have been fled in enc Of our
courts. The papers are attested by the
justices, they having made their cross "

Scott, it was regarded as rather aristo-
cratic not to be able to write. Charlie
nagne made his mark with the hilt of
his sword, and the Douglass, after dis

stnhhinr Arrnx Lnst Night,

Last night about one o'clock, during
the minstrel performance at the st.
Charles saloon, corner of Second and
jefferson streets, John Kelly, cook of
the Metropolitan restaurant on Jefferson
street, engaged in a controversy with
Ed. Smith, a dangerous character, whose
face is well known at the recorder
court and police headquarters. From
words the men soon came to blows, and
while clinched, Smith drew long knife
and went to work like a practical
carver. Kelly was stabbed in the breast
and back, and received two stabs in the
bowels. Smith was Immediately ar
rested by patrolmen Boyd and Hagerty
and conveyed to the Adams street sta
tion-house. This morning Smith was
brought before Recorder Winters on a
warrant charging him with maliciOusly
stabbing John Kelly with dirk knife,
with intent then and there TO kill and
murder. Owing to the dangerous con-
dition Of the wounded man the case was
continued for hearing over e next Fri
day. and Smith was committed TO Jail
in default Of 10000 bends.

PUBLIC LEDaER oTvIox,


MnPRIs. TRsN.. March 5. 1872
In our advertising columns to-day will
be found the statement of the German
National Bank, as required by act Of
Congress- The exhibit shows net
profit Of over $4,000 since the first of
the year, and shows throughout the
healthy and prosperous condition Of
that institution.
There Is little of interest to report to-
day in local money matters. A fair
checking business is being done, and the
demand for money is about equalto that
of yesterday, Rates of discount remain
steady at 10 to IL per cent.
Exchange is in moders le supply, with
rates steady at 4c discount buying on
commercial bills, and par selling for
sight checks on Eastern points.
Scarcely any gold is offered. Dealers
purchase at 1925 and sell at the New
York rates
Local securities are dull, and, except
an inquiry for city railway shares, there
is but little demand for anything in that
line. County warrants, in small
amounts, are bought by dealers at
soc, but for a large amount 89c is,
perhaps, the best price that could be
obtained while the selling rates range
from 92I to 9Sc. City securities are
quoted at SOC for the long date currency
issue, January coupon detached, and &c
is the quotation for the gold issue. Ten
nessee money is bought at 85c for
the old and 35e for the new issue, and is
sold respectively at 81 to SO and 36c;
$4,000 in city coupons, face and interest
were purchased to-day by dealer at soc.
