a CARD.

So much surprise has been expressed at
the submission of my case to the jury with
out argument from counsel or instructions
from court, that feel constrained to say
in justice to my counsel who have so faith
fally represented me, that l assume the
whole resPonsi Utility of that matter. My
counsel simply carried out my earnestly
expressed wish in so submitting my case.
1t may relieve the public curiosity to
know that urged that course from abb
ding confidence in my innocence, and the
utter failure of the endeavor to create
suspicion of my guilt of the charges pre-
ferred against me. The result has not
changed my view of the expedieney of the
course pursued, but has confirmed the
opinion that when such an OVERWHELMING
WEIGHT OF TESTIMONY in my favor had
failed % secure a verdict of acquittal, no
amount Of ARGUMENT of the most learned
and eloquent counsel would have averted
my conviction.
| make this publication as an act of sim
Pile Justice to my counsel, to whom / am in
debted for as earnest and judIcious defense
as was ever made on behalf of client in a
court of justice. may add, in conclusion,
that my counsel concurred in my view of
the evidence, and the submission of the
case for the reasons above stated.

there is season." and hence Mrs. f. t.
Evans is always in season for her many Gus
TONERS. We happened in at her store>this
morning, and somewhat hurried inspec-
ton satisfied us that she has eclipsed all her
former efforts in the selection of millinery
goods. Her stock is large, varied and really
beautiful Such loves of hats and bonnets
Some with bridal fixings on them. We
wondered who they were for. There was
the sFavorite," the Alexis" the Lady
Louise" the "Romp" the "Gipsy," the
misses Dip" the "Belle," the Regatta"
and other styles innumerable. The Hew
artificial flowers are exquisite-among the
richest being a style known as "Paris-in-
Ashes" Ard then there are the gross grain,
oil-boiled and plain ribbon, lace collars and
cuffs, scarfs for bows, hat frames, armlets,
bracelets, beads, perfumery, fancy combs
and brushes, curls, switches, etc., etc. But
the ladies will have to call, as we are out of
our latitude in attempting description of
what genius and fashion have concentrated
ia the stock OF goods which Mrs Evans has
now arranged in such elegant display.
