THE INDIGNATION MEETING.

The mass Indignation meeting OF citizens IN
Cooper Union next Monday evening to protest
against Sheridan's LOUISIANA outrage promises to
surpass In numbers ana intensity Of enthusiasm
any public concourse which has taken place In
New York since the days OF the civil war, when
she popular heart was all aglow with patriotic
emotion. AT the several places where the call
was placed for signatures, and at the banks, ex-
changes, hotels and newspaper ofdces, leading
capitalists. merchants, professional men and
prominent citizens OF all classes readily appended
their names and expressed their fierce denunciation
OF the high-handed military usurpation by which
federal commander has trampled In the dust the
authority OF Legislature, and by his arbitrary
order set aside the sacred rights OF q sovereign
State OF the Union. 1t is anticipated that the great
hall OF the Cooper Union Will not DO sufficient
TO accommodate the numbers VINO will apply for
admission and arrangements win be made either
for outdoor meetings or for the occupancy Of one
OF the otner large halls In the neighoorhood.
Stenway Hall has been suggested for the second
meeting. The Academy OF Music would have been
occupied for this demonstration, II 1t could have
been secured, but the directors are precluded
from allowing the use OF this building for political
purposes by the terms OF their charter.

There arrived In this city on Thursday evening
from New Orleans Mr.. f. solomon, q gentleman
well known In the business and social circles OF
New York, and who for more than thirty years
was merchant OF the Crescent CITY, Subsequent
to the war he established q banking house there:
but, ike many others OF the old-ume citizens he
wearied OF the grievous exactlons and oppres-
slons heaped upon the business community by the
various carpetbag governments of unhappy Lou
isiana and so closed up his analrs, resolved to
wait for more suspicious times and until the bet
ter sense and appreciation OF the Northern people
should relieve their Southern brethren OF the
heavy incubus which rested upon them. He has,
however, remained resident OF New Orleans
during certain seasons Of the year. and retained
lively interest In all that appertatned 10 the
State. He was in that city on the occasion Of
General Sheridan's late extraordinary action
there. and was an eyewitness to much that oc-
Cured. In conversation with q representative Of
the HERALD yesterday he said

he is understood to have been the paid

GULL THE PEOPLE.
l have in my possession list of all the
attachments granted on bank tax which
may serve to show the interest of Mr.. Kefns
and others in this ques lion. This tax was
contested IN the courts by the banks for
the years 1871, 1872 and 1873. and took
exactly the same route as the one on the
capital stock has, except that from the de-
clsion of the United States district court
at Chicago the case was appealed to the
United States supreme court and the de-
cision of the United States district court
reversed and that of our own supreme
court affirmed. But from the decision Oh
the supreme court of the state and Of the
United States, these men appealed to the
board OF supervisors of the county of Rock
Island on petition setting forth that the
banks of Cook county were only assessed
by the assessor 335 per cent, on their par
value, while those of Rock Islaud were as.
sessed at from 50 cents to par and asked &c

Mason, of Nasonville. Pursuit was
Immediately made, word having been
sent to Mr.. Mason, who was at the
Point, and the horse, together with
two others found near Neilsville in
Clark County, all of them very warm,
undoubtedly having been abandoned
but a few hours. The track of the
robbers was followed up, but they were
not captured. The men in pursuit
found heifer recently killed, the hams
having been cut out, and portions of
it cooked, probably, as a smouldering
fire was discovered near by. The
thieves undoubtedly ascertained that
they were being pursued, and took to
the woods on foot to care for them
selves as best they could.
