A CARD.

Previous 10 the arrest, trial and fight Of
r. s. Graves, the late state treasurer, he
had put in circulation variety of false
hoods, in relation TO myself and other ex-
ecutive officers, for The purpose of excus.
ing. in part. his official misconduct. This
whole subject has been lately fully inves.
tgaled in tedious trial etore the hon.
w. l.. Sharkey, and all the charges
against myself fully refued by the testi.
mony OF Witnesses on oath. Under these
circumstances, it can scarcely be necessa-
ny that should say anything farther; but
inasmuch as the public mind has been
greatly imposed on, submit the following
statements, which, for the sake oil truth, |
hope will be read and appreciated, accord
ing to the high character OF the gentlemen
who have made them.

John D. Freeman, Esq,-Dear Sir
received your note Of yesterday, in which
you state that misrepresentation are be-
ing spread in reference 10 YOURSELF which
have grown out of the examination in the
case of Graves, in which you ask me to
state whether the evidence disclosed any.
thing discred,table to you.
The examination left no such impress
sion on my mind. The facts were in sub.
stance, as follows: IT appeared that you
mad received from the Treasurer, on gen.
eral warrants, one thousand or eleven
hundred dollars, the precise amount not
recnllected, some time in the summer ar
fall, bit there was nothing in the evidence
that tended t, show that you had any
knowledge as TO the particular fund ont OF
which this money was paid. On the con.
'rary, il was in evirence that you did not
know that the money was part of the two
or three per cent funds. Durin! the VII lie
trial have heard nothing that could i'm
plicate you in the conduc' o the treasurer.
Your obedien, servant,
