A CARD.
New ORI.EANs. July 1s. 1873.

NEW OhlihANs, JulY 49, 1876
I noticed in the DEMOCRAT of the seventeenth
instant, in the proceedings of the Property
Holders meeting, q set of resolutions purport-
ing to emanate from me and denunciatory to the
city government in general and Administrators
Edwards in particular.
In regard to said resolutions, I will state most
emphatically that these resolutions were handed
to me at the said meeting by Mr.. Norman who
informed me. as | understood then, that they
were in relation to sheriffs' fees; as / thought
that reduction of the shetiffs' fees could DO no
harm, signed the paper without reading It,
handed it In and left the hall. The next morn
ing, much to ny surprise, found what they
contained.
will now state that these resolutions In no
way represent my sentiments, aS have always
entertained the highest regard for Hon. James
d. Edwards. whom l have always considered
ever been the good fortune Of the city of New
Orleans to have
And as far as the Insane Asylum is concerned,
will state. from my own knowledge. having
often visited the asylum, that 1t is now better
kept and in better condition than ever before,
and the unfortunate beings therein confined are
better fed and treated than thousands of our
felloW-citizens who are compelled to work for
their daily bread: and further denounce the
report of the Grand Jury as an outrage
J. I'll. WILBERDING.
fully corroborate all that Mr. Wilberdfng
which the resolutions introduced at the Prom
erty Holders meeting, purDorting to emanate
from him. L myself. did not know at that time
what the resolutions contained.

The evidence thus far submitted in the Fitz
