Card.

EDS. JoURNAL:-I have just returned
from trip to Memphis, Tennessee
where had been on business and to see
a sick relative, and 10 and behold, on my
return, hear of reports without number,
calculated to d-n forever the character
Of any man but a secessionist The
amount of my offence, is, that was on
board of the steamer Curlew when she
was seized by the naval authorities at
Island No TO- Mississippi River, upon
the ground as they allege, she had con
traband goods on board, which, by the
way, was not true. The goods upon
! which the seizure was made, was 70 bar
rels whisky, salt and -four. Permits had
been granted to the owners OF said goods
to take them to Columbus, and there,
another permit had to be obtained to
ship them to Fort Pillow. That permit
had been obtained and sent down to Fort
Pillow by the steamer Morning Star, sew
eral days previously, and Gen. Asboth,
instructed the revenue aid on board the
Curlew, to go ahead and deliver the
goods, that said permit had been grant
ed, and so entered on his books several
days previously The passengers were
examined and all Southern money found
/ in their possession was taken and kept by
the ma al officer The Confederate
ence of the passengers, (Which was right
and proper) / had $500 in green backs
which | retained When the boat was
seized and sent back, had the liberty of
stopping on the gunboat New Era, until
the Belle Memphis bound for Memphis,
should arrive, which would have been in
half day, but l had 40 cases boots on
board shipped to Foster, Gwyn & Co, at
Memphis, which in case of confscation
of the boat, | wanted to get off Those
boots were regularly permitted by our
Surveyor, to Foster, Gwyn & Co., who
are selling Cavalry boots to the soldiers
in the Union army. So far from furnish
ing Stewards rebel cavalry with boots,
l had rather burn up every boot and
shoe in Morgan, Read & Cos, house,
and would recommend that less ship
ments be made to Memphis, as | was in
formed that goods going to Memphis
benefited Gen. Hindman's army equally
with Grants. 500 is the price of
good skiff-load of goods with mufled
oars, from Memphis to Arkansas.
did not lose any money, property or
liberty in my trip to Memphis, and every
report pu la circulation since my depart
nre calculated to injure me, is base lie,
and was put in circulation mahciously
And now touching my loyalty, would
say that man is not in EUansUitte, that
loves his country more than |, or who
would rejoice more at seeing our coun-

Legislative Summary.
INDIANAPOLIS, Mare

SENATE-This was the last working
day of the session. House bills amend
ing the law concerning salaries of State
officers; extending time to sinking fund
borrowers; and requiring all coal oil or
petroleum to be inspected before sale,
we're passed. A resolution declaring
that Senator Murray was not entitled to
seat was voted down, and one decar-
ing that John H. Baker, his contestant,
was entitled to it was laid on the table.
An interesting debate upon the responses
to the memorial from the army occupied
most of the forenoon and afternoon. The
majority report was adopted, and 5000
copies of both it and the minority report
ordered to be printed.
