A CARD.

1t is with regret that feel called upon
to notice handful, distributed in the
streets of this city, yesterday, by man,
well known at home to be utterly desti.
tute of character, named Magra,c, which,
as far as am concerned, is FALSE. Being
at the National Hotel, on Thursday night
last, | learned from several gentlemen
that he had not only grossly slandered a
friend of mine, but also bascly calumni-
ated that gentleman s mother and sister
highly respectable and intelligent ladies.
A gentleman well acquainted with the
ladies slandered, soon after accosted this
person, calling him to an account for his
cruel and unmanly language. After a
brief conversation, seeing personal diff
hculty about to arise between the parties,
| approached for the purpose of aiding in
preventing disturbance When reach
ed the spot, Magraw was using the most
insulting language, and, among other
things, said my friend (who was absent,
and whose name | will not disgrace by
mentioning it in connection with this
| man's) was "a liar and scoundrel."
promptly replied by saying that ..he was
better man than he (N1agraw) ever was
or ever would be-" had scarcely utter
cd this sentence, when | was attacked in
the most rufiianly manner by Macraw,
and | Immediately throttled him and
dashed his burly form to the floor, where
he lay helpless and speeches., while ]
punished him as he well deserved: and
had it not have been for gentlemen pre-
sea-, who interfered, would have taught
this uoman slanderer lesson that would
have made him in future avoid sneakinc
falsely of ladies in the absence of those
whose duty it is to defend them, and also
would have caused him to know his man
before he again played the bully. Every
gentleman present, when the difficulty
occurred, will testify to the truth of the
above statement, if necessary.
| shall not again notice this man, Il
feel somewhat degraded in coupling my
name as have with his in this card
who SANDERS women as well as men in
giving vent to the malignity of his bad
heart, unless it is to defend myself from
his brutal attacks, and, in doing so, to cas-
tigate him as | did on Thursday night
| last. VIM. II. HOPE.

General Armstrong in his behalf. Smart

resign the Clerkship of the House, and

French succeeded in gaining his friends to
