That Card

Editor Dallas Herdld:-The kind and gen.
tlemanly course toward me, of those upon
whom my card of last week fell, demand Of
me. to do what can, to remove the impress
ion that they, or either Of them, did me, or
the Town, or county, any intentional
wrong.
Capt. Finn, says he was present at the
conversation referred 10 in my card, and
that he spoke of the matter, freely, suppos-
ing that it was spoken by me without any
reserve. He is now satisfied that it was in
tended and enjoined as confidential; but
says he did not hear the injunction or the
response. He says that he understood me
to say that the contemplated employment
Of negroes, was to detect and spy out the
lurking places Of thieving, bad negroes and
that such is what he reported-tbat he did
not report that spoke Of them either as
general police or as Aldermen But he
says, what impressed him most in the con-
versation and was alluded to by him more
especially, was my assertion, that there "are
negroes in town that would trust as soon

ARKASsAs.-The State conrts in Eastern
Arkansas are about to be opened regularly
for the first time in four years. Says the
Memphis Argus:
Their dockets may be reduced by an
enactment of the late fanatical Legislature,
which orders all the judges to erase from
their dockets all suits now pending, or
which may be brought by persons who have
been engaged in tn. rebellion, or who have
indirectly aided, abetted in any way, or
sympathized with it or its abcttors and sup
porters. This excludes Observation-Disclosures
of all the citizens of the State from the
privileges of the courts, and will enable
every dishonest debtor to escape the pay
ment of his debts by proving that his cred
itors, in some way, by speech or act, gave
countenance to the doctrine Of State rights
and secession.
