Great Meeting on Behalf ok the
Ohbbokbe Indians.— Concert HaU last evening
wa» densely packed with ladies and gentlemen, on
the occasion of the call for a public meeting on be*
half of the loyal Cherokee Indiana. There were
many person* unable to gain admittance, At the
appointed hour, John P. Crozier, EBq., ol Cheater,
was called to preside.
The Rev. Dr. Taylor addreared the Throne of
Grace; after which one rerte of a hymn, ai follows,
waa Bung:
All hail the power of Jesus’ name,
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of aU. ”
Theso appropriate preliminaries Having been gone
through with, Rev. Dr. BraineTd, of the Fourth
Presbyterian (old Pine-street) Church, w»b Intro
duced to the vast assemblage. He said he endoraed
with his whole heart the object which had brought
the people together. He was old enough to remem
ber the Cherokee nation for many years. He well
remembered the Miaaion called Brainerd, located,
between thirty and forty years ago, near the place
now called Chattanooga. He well remembered the
Cherokee nation was the first to emerge from bar
barism under the illuminating raya of civiliza
tion. He well remembered a chief of that nation
called Phoenix, because the nation at that time
ocoupled the land of their fathers, siting, as
it were, from their ashes. He well remembered
the discussion that arose in the Legislature of the
State of Georgia that this same Cherokee nation
should be rooted out, and driven to the far West, so
that the aggressors might possess themselves of the
rich farms, the beautiful gardens, and the homes of
these God-Joving Christian people. He remembered
that a treaty had been made between the Uaited
States Government and the Cherokee nation which
the Supreme Court decided to be valid, and he did
not forget that the authorities of the State
of Georgia set the treaty aside, violated
it in every respect, and defied the power of the Sn«
preme Court. Notwithstanding this solemn com
pact, the legislature of Georgia passed laws dispos
ing of the property of the lottery;
drove the owners from their happy honitai tors from
them their fine orchards, and ruthlessly drove the
nation from the land of their fathers. The poor old
man, infirm, whose sun of life was scon to set; the
feeble old woman, whose grey locks could not awa
ken a spark ofsympathyin the bosom of the despoil
er,were all driven away. The schools for Ohrisiian ed
ucation were demolished. Then began the rebellion,
against law and common justice and humanity, which
has widened out 1 ato the present wicseJ esd great rebel
lion against the Rational Government. The graves of
many of the Cherokee e marked the course they took from
the land of their fathers to what is now known as Cha
t&nooga, or to the far distant prairie land. Bat the Che
rokees had vitality; they had the vitality of civilization
aad Christianity. They again established schools and
churches atd thus they continued togrow&nd prosper,
until this w.cied rebellion out. Their homsa are
now desolate, and once more they are at the
mercy of inthless invader*. He would' eay that
there was no other Government, situated as u was,
that was so loyal to the Union; no other Governor be
sides the Hon. John Ros*. who did not refuse to pledge
the people to rebellion. The character of John Rose was
anes that, though the Cherokee nation beat for a time
•to the storm, yet those who knew him* well knew that
he would come out riiht in the loag run. Men were
enlisted for the defence of themselves s gaiast shsir ens*
mles.and when the TJ. Slaws army reached there they
rushed int« its ranks, and it maybe said that natiouwas
the first to return to loyalty to the Union. This, of course,
has brought down the vengeance of :he rebels.' who
never fail to persecute these pionle whenever they evu
-get a-'chauce. They have gone ihrongfc then- lands with
the besom of deztraction; men were con -crinled into the
lawlets army of the rebel?, and others of the nation
escaped to our lines. Thousands of poor r fagees have
corns to ns for proietticA—they are men, women, and
•children, all exiles of honor; they come to us with out
stretched arms ashing for help; they &<k us for as
sistance; tl ey want the means to restore their dwelling*
and cnce more plant their crops This is the appeal they
make. Shall it be m&de in vain? (Jhlef .Ros-j is present *
he will address you Colonel Downing, of the loyal
•army, who has been in the service two years, is here
At this stage of the proceedings, the gallant Colonel, a
fine-lcoking specimen of a Cherokee, was personally in
troduced. Be was hailed with rounds of applause,
during which he modfstiy retired. The Rev. Mr. Van
horn. long a missionary among the Cherokee?, will ad
dress yon After a few n.ore remarks/oa the subject
of furnishing money, seeds, and o her fckingi of aa
agricultural nature, the speaker concluded ia a most ear
nest and eloquent appeal to the people to he liberal and
prompt, and tbu* assist to send these mr-a to their west
ern homes with feelings of gratefulness for the gratitude
we have *bown them in defending our country from the
domestic invader ofthe law and the rights of humanity.
Let us show onr gratitude by responding liberally, be
•cause this Cherokee nation has nobly stood, In the hour
of peril, by ila side of the country.
The Rev. Mr. Vanhorn, the Cherokee missionary,
was now introduced. He raid that his mission was a
simple one; it was to prerent fact* from history, and
from his own personal observations. The speaker
alluded to tee tte kty and congressional enactments rela
tive to the Cherokee ration, and explained how they
Were broken by bold bad men of the who ob
tained a leverage power to force the Cherokseg from the
land of their fethtre. He knew, from his own P9Mottgl
knowledge, that the same class of men wore foremost In
inAuguraticg.tbepresentrebeUioc. and persecuting the
Cherokee nation. Of course, he had long known John
Ross* the Chief of the Cherokees. and he knew that he
would do all he could to protect his own people,
and at the »ame time support the United Stages Govern
ment. In illustration of this point he descanted on the
severe Inals the chief encountered in trying to ward off
-Ir™*®®* 03 * 8 °f the rebels. The Rev. spoke
half an nour on the vast amount of suffering by these
loyal people, how their lands were impoverished, first
hy the rebels ruthlessly, and then by our own army
between the two armies they have
lost their all. The speaker said the Hon. John Ross

Sr-EciAXi Meeting of Select Council
IN KefeRESCE to THE DhAET.—At the lastAneeV
leg of Councils, an ordinance passed the seieei
Branch, increasing the city bounty to volunteers,
from $250 to $3OO. The bill was sent into Common
Council, but was not acted upon, in consequence of
which volunteering came to a dead halt. Men were
unwilling to enter the service at the risk of losing
$5O, which they might get if the ordinance should
pass Common Council on Thursday next. The
sharpers, who hang around the recruiting Offitfi,
hf!d back the recruits in the hope of obtaining the
additional bounty. The members of Common
Council, however, were not disposed to eonour in
the resolution of the other branch, and on this ac
count it wss necessary that Select Council should
reverse their action.
The Finance Committee held a meeting on Mon
day evening, at which Generals Hancock and Gib
bon were pjesent. It was stated that recruiting had
betn entirely stopped, and it was therefore resolved
to call a special meeting of Select Council, and re
verse their action of the Thursday previous. The
special meeting was held yesterday afternoon, when
the JoJiowing resolution offered by Mr. Brightly
was adopted;
Rtsoired* That Common Council ba requested to re
port to this Chamber a bill entitled a supplement to the
ordinance entitled an ordinance to make an appropria
tion for the payment of bountr to volunteers, under the
recent call of the President of the United States.
The city bounty will therefore continue at $250.
St. Patrick's Day. — To-morrow, being
the festlval of Ireland's patron saint, will be duly
celebrated by the various charitable and beneficial
societies composed of our Irish citizens. The reli
gious commemoration will take place at St. Patrick’s
Church. In the morning, solemn pontifiolal mass
will be celebrated, by the Kight Rev. Biohop Wood.
The panegyric of the saint will be delivered by the
Rev. P. P. McGrane, chaplain of the U. S. hospi
tal in this city. The ohoir, accompanied by a full
band, yrill be ueder the direction of Prof. Aledo.
The feature of the day, to use a Hibernian phraas,
will be in the evening, at the Academy of Music.
The Rev. Dr. O’Connor, late Bishop of Pittsburg,
Will deliver $ lecture on “The Destiny of the Irish
Race.” We learn that Dr. O’Comiop is distinguished
in the churoh for his eloquence and extensive learn •
ing, and a rich intellectual discourse may be ex
pected.
Elevated for his pi6ty and profound learning to
the dignity of a bishop, through the recommenda
tion of the late lamented Archbishop Kearick, Dr.
O’C. fulfilled its duties with great ability, and made
the See of Pittsburg a flourishing diocese. But
the humble labors of the simple priest better ac
corded with his mind and heart than the honor, dig
nity, ar d pomp of the bishop. So sincere was his
humility that be resigned the mitre for the cassock
of the Jesuit. The proceeds of the lecture are for
the benefit of the House of the Good Shepherd, an
institution that has rescued a large number of erring
females from lives of vice and misery.

A Morning Hearing.
On Monday night the police made a descent on

In consequence of complaints having been lodged by
the neighbors. Four women, besides the alleged
proprietress, Sarah Gavnor. were taken into custo

Bow between Rival Clothiers.
A scene of excitement occurred yesterday after
noon between two rival olotMcrs on Second street,
below Chestnut, which came very near ending in the
tableau of tragedy, through the medium of a shovel
in the hands of one of the parties. The excitement
on that busy thoroughfare for a short time wag ra
ther intense. The names of the actor* io this melo
dramatic spectacle are Abraham Friday, Philip
Schoenemann, and Mrs. Friday, the wife of the first
named.
It appears from all that we can learn of this some
what sanguinary affair, that Mr. Schoenemann
was standing in his door, ready to sell clothiug to
any person who desired to invest in such an indis
pensable article. It also seems that Mr. Friday
was perfectly willing to do’the same thing. It U
further stated that a man was leisurely walking
along, looking at the goods displayed in front of the
stores.
“ Dooms in; I shells you seheap,” said Mr. Sohoe
nemann, in the pleasantest manner possible.
1 ou cooms dees way,” said Mr. Friday, follow
ing tb© supposed customer; “dees ish ter sthore
vere ve shell ver •heaps.”
Mr. Schoenemann then said something else, which
elioited a reply, not very complimentary, it is
aveired, on the part of « Mr. Friday.”
Presently, Mrs. Friday relnforoed her husband,
and opened her battery of volubility in suoh a man
ner that the customer made a straight coat-tail and
disappeared. The people Stopped, Of course; their
eurioiity was excited. Thßy all seemed to enjoy the
rich seene before them,when, presently, Mr. Friday,
it is alleged, picked up a big iron shovel, from the
hardware store, front of Mr. Richardson, near bv,
and with the weapon uplifted, made a charge on Mr.
Soboenemann, who retreated. Mr. Friday followed
up and drove his ndvenary into the very entrenoh
zneat afforded by toe store, where he dealt him a
tremendous blow.
Mr Sotyenemann threw up his arm and received
the blow, which, he says, was intended for his head.
His wrist was pretty badly .gashed with toe edge of
the shovel. He had his wound dressed at the Phila
delphia Dispensary. The police were speedily on
toe ground and took Mr. Friday and his wife into
custody. The husband desired to go back to put his
coat cn. This request was granted, but he effected
his escape by this means from the official. The wife
was then taken before the poiice magistrate, who,
after patiently investigating the case, required her
to enter bail to answer at court the charge of aiding
and abetting her husband in assault and battery
upon Mr, Sohonemann, with intent to kill.

Children Provided, wltli Homes.
Two little ohildren, whose mother is a habitual
drunkard, residing, living, or staying on Baker
street, were taken into custody yesterday by Officer
Adams, The youngsters were suffering phyilcally
as well as morally, because of toe maternal intem
perance. It seems the father of these children had
beaten the mother in a cruel and brutal manner. It
was such a case as might well excite the humanity
of even a police officer; therefore, the neglected
ohildren were taken in charge. One was sent to the
House of toe Good Sheppard) aad the other to the
St. Vincent Home,

Ninth street*, and arrested the proprietor and his

Swan and Frederica, hie wife, were charged with

Goins into the Black Diamonds*
Richard Bloomer was arraigned yesterday on the
charge of purloining coal from the yard of Mr.
Rogers, at CallowMll and Twelfth streets. It is
alleged that the defendant had been mining among
the coal in this yard during the winter, and peddling
the article thus obtained about the neighborhood.
He was watohed, and finally on Monday night he
was caught in the very act of taking the coal. The
sum of $BOO bail was required for his appearance at
the criminal court.
THE COURTS.
Supreme Court at Nisi Priua-Judge
Agnew.
Mary R. Burton vs. James Fulton et al. This was
an action to recover damage* for fth alleged ma
licious conspiracy on the p»t of defendants, who
were school directors of the Fourteenth ward, to de
prive plaintiff of a position held by her as a teacher
in the Monroe Sohool, in Buttonwood street, near
Eleventh. Miss Burton, while discharging her duty
as a teacher, received a note from defendants, signed
by James Fulton as chairman of a committee, noti
fying her that toe interests of the school required
a change of the principal, and requesting her to re
sign, which she did. It is now alleged on the part of
plaintiff that there was no cause for the' change:
that the school was well conducted, and, under
plaintiff’s management, had greatly increased in the
number of pupils, and that there was a marked im
provement in toe Average attendance of scholars.
It was further alleged that the action of the de
fendants was not that of a majority of the commit
tee, which consisted of six members, three of whom
only aoted upon the resolutions upon which was
based the note addressed to Miss Burton, requesting
her to resign; that her conduct as a teacher had
been irreproachable, and that the action of the com
mittee was malicious, and tended to injure plaintiff's
character and reputation as a teacher. Evidence
for plaintiff having been heard, defendants’ counsel
moved for a non- suit, which was argued by F. U.
Brewster for defendants, and by H. M. Phillips for
plaintiff. The court held the motion under advise
ment, and adjourned until this morning.
Court of Quarter Sessions- anclge Allison.
Commonwealth vs. Edward Parker The defend
ant pleaded guilty, some months ago, to a charge of
assault and battery on Lewis Albertson, with Intent
to hill. Yesterday he wss called up for sentence.
This affair occurred at Guy’s saloon, in Seventh
street, and seems to have been a deliberate attempt
to take life. According to the facts, Albertson was
sitting in Guy’s, when Parker entered, and without
provocation shot him with a pistol, and out him
across the face with a knife.
Much time has elapsed since the perpetration or
this oftence, and plea of guilty, and it is believed
that many effort! iiave been made to lessen toe
punishment which ought to be Imposed in a ease
like it. It la but jußt to Judge Allison to say, that
if applications tending to that end were made to
him, be disregarded them, and imposed a punish
ment which ought to prove an example to men who
ate ready at a moment’s notice to use deadly wea
pons without or upon the slightest provocation.
Albertson, in detailing the facts of the case to the
judge, stated that he did not desire the court to Im
pose Imprisonment as part of the sentence. He said,
however, in addition, that he supposed that It would
make no difference, as he was Informed that Parker,
the defendant, had hls pardon now in Ms pocket.
Judge Allison then, after reviewing the facts of
the case as detailed, sentenced Parker to pay a fine
of twenty dollars, and undergo an Imprisonment of
six months’ In the county prison.
In the Common Pleas, Judge Ludlow, there
was nothing of interest.
