A Card.

Mr.. EDITOR-Inasmuch as I have
heard and from very unexpected
source, that a broadcast report was
prevailing in the public mind, that
personal luminosity on my part was
the impetus to move me in the name
of the Imperial Guano Company, to
push the prosecution of the case
which was to have been tried last
term of Accomac county court, 1 use
this method of making known to the
public, that such a report is both
false and vile. am disposed to say,
I do not believe that the public be-
lieve it, although an attempt has
been made to press this upon my
mind. twas the work of the I'm
perial Guano Company both to push
and withdraw the case and l had
nothing to do with it, except as their
representative to do their bidding
