The Grand Council Of States, To-day.
The organization known as the INDIE
pendent Order of Red Men, viii hold their
Grand Council in the Nashville Wigwafn,
commencibe at 10 o'clock to-day. Last
wear the Council vas held in Philadelphia
and in answer to the toast, Tennessee"
ESQ. Meachau, made such glowing reply
descriptive of the beauties and resources OF
the State, that it was unanimously voted
that the next Grand Council should meet
in this city. ssissf ss.e
For long years this organization has been
justly celebrated for the cordial good Iees-
ing that prevailed among its members, who
are all replete with the ways OF MIR. Lo and
have not only become enthusiasts upon the
subject of happy hunting grounds them
selves, but their lodge-rooms are MADE the
especial objects of their savage decorations,
and accoutrements of Indian warfare.
There are now in this city upward OF oO
| delegates, or councilmen, from all parts OF
the Union, and many more are expected
this morning. The wigwam is very eiaoor-
ately decorated; the delegates are all happy,
and the members of the order in this city
are exerting themselves to make the occas-
sion one long to be remembered.
Before leaving the city they are
to have banquet given them at the MAX
well House, under the auspices OF the
members of the fraternity here. All who
are in town, are getting all sorts OF plans for
their amusement. Yesterday morn
ing when Abe Covery of pioneer-life-in-
Nevada notoriety, arose from his virtuous
couch, whose drapery be wrapt around BIN
at an early hour the night previous, be was
greeted BY some of his companions who
were very much amused about something.
Handing him paper they pointed to an
advertisement, the substance of which was
that a gentleman in this city had
a span of fine horses, which he offered for
sale with The understanding that
the purchaser need not pay for them until
after Greeley is elected. The more "old
Aben read the advertisement the more ne
smiled until unable TO contain himself
longer he burst out laughing and said:
Snow chat suits me, and Tn so certain Of
Grants election, if he doesn't overlook bis
hand, that Pm Just goin' right OF to gel
me the mhorses; come, boys" with THIS
they all sailed forth, but sold Abe" was
doomed to disappointment, for when be got
there he found the horses were already Sold
He was still hopeful, however, and san
guinely inquired of the man II ne
had any friends that wanted TO
give any horses away ON such terms,
The man answered in the negative, and
Abe turned to his friends with the consola'
tory remark that s'perhaps they were moth
ing but boneyards after all.
