a Card.

Having been absent from the city a few
days, l learned on NV return that James NJ
Cavanaugh, in public speech in Virginia City
on Monday evening the 2lst inst, had assert
ell that either Mr.. William kiskadden, of
Salt Lake City, or myself, had been guilty of
circulating malicious falsehood against the
said Cavanaugh. / repeat here the assertion
that made in regard to Cavanaugh. 1 was
in Helena a short time ago and was conYer-
sing with Mr.. Cavanaugh In regard to the
payment of the expenses of the Territory IN
connection with the volunteers. Mr.. Cava-
naugh told me emphatically that elf he was
elected every dollar of those vouchers SHOULD
BE PAID" About the same time, Mr.. kIs-
kaddeu had conversation with him on the
same subject. Mr.. Cavanaugh said to him !:
" L advise you to have nothing whatever Co do
with those vouchers. Don't you touch them.
Don't you touch Them" This bad the effect
to prevent Mr.. Kiskadden from concentrating
a contract he was making to exchange -four for
vouchers. Mr.. Cavanaugh sacrificed for some
purpose or other, the interests of this people,
and created very different opinions In Mr..
kiskadden's mind In regard to the probability
of the vouchers being paid, it would with
any one, In the possibility of Mr.. CaYanaugh
becoming our Delegate to Congress. Mr..
Kiskadden is a reliable, honorable gentleman,
and for the authority that he related the con-
versation as 1 have given it, refer to Mr.
Richard Leech and Col. NJ. III. Insley, of Vir-
ginia, and Other gentlemen who were In the
coach at the time the conversation took place.
There are other Circumstances connected with
Mr.. Cavanaugh's position in regard to the
payment of vouchers, that 1 have not, and do
not, feel at liberty to repeat, more discredita-
bic than the above. For the correctness and
truth of every word have uttered hold my
self personally responsible, and challenge Mr..
Cayanaugh to deny, In any of the Democratic
papers, over his signature, the conversation
with Mr.. Kiskadden. l.. VI. BLACK.
