At a meeting of. the Executive com1
mittee of the Hesperian Social Club
the following preamble, and resolutions
were agreed upon, and ordered to be
printed.
Whereas, the experience of one year
has clearly demonstated the fact, that
there is an undying interest aroused
among the better thinking classes of
our city, and State, for the elevation
ff the moral and social sentiment
a nong our people, and whereas, the
H. S. C. has been organized in the in
U'i est ot the much needed moral, and
social reform, and has already inles'ed
society in its favor, and whereas, the
ladies who have acted in consonance
with it, have recently exhibited their
great usefuliness, by successfully or
ganizing, and conducting one of the
grandest affairs of social enjoyment,
ever witnessed in this city, and pro
ably in the South : Therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the Execu
tive Committee of v. the Hesperian
Social Club, representing the interests
of the Club and the rising generation,
do, on the part of the Club and rising
generation, make this appeal to the
above-mentioned ladies:
1st. That we believe our efforts
must prove futile and .insignificant
unless supplemented by them.
2d. That" we believe if they perfect
the organization of a like association,
we will have enlisted the services i f
an element that must awaken and
keep alive that spark ot refining in
fluence that will shine brighter as we
are educated. ;
3d. That we will regard it as an ex
pression of their sanction and appreci
ation by effecting the organization
above mentioned, knowing how ab
surd it would be for us to expect to
accomplish any lasting good except
by their co-operation.

A CARD.
Washington, D. C,
March 16, 1880.
Mr. Editor: Having seen in the
last number of the People s Voice an
article from the pen of W. V. Turner,
of your city, in regard to the now cel
ebrated Sherman-Moulton letter, I
respectfully ask that you allow me
space in the columns of your paper to
correct one or two erroneous state
ments made by Mr. Turner, with re
gard to my connection with it : 1st.
I desire to state that no such conver
sation was held between Mr. Turner
and myself as is alleged. 2d, that
the contents of the letter were, not
known to me until I had , copied it
at Mr Turner's request. 3d, that
Mr. Turner did not leave the original
letter with a servant, as he states, but
delivered it in person to the Hon.
Secretary, between the hours of 7 and
8 o'clock P. M., nor was he accom
panied by Mr. J. E. Patterson on that
visit. The whole statement is false
from beginning to end, and Turner
knows it. 1 entertain a very high
opinion of Mr. Turner, and believe
that with a chance he will makea
"red hot" journalist. This is one of
his motions which did not then, and
does not now meet with-my hearty
concurrence. I feel confident that he
does not intend to 'willfully misrepre
sent me, and I submit this statement
in justice to myself and to Mr. Tur
ner. I have in my note-book a cor
rect memoranda of the conversation
held between Turner and myself on
the day he recei ved the letter. I am
afraid that Turner has dreamed a
dream, and that he is quite uncon
scious of the width and breadth "of
his statement ; the depth he knows
full well, and so do I. Personally, I
have always regarded Mr. Turner as
an honorable, well-meaning man, and
have spoken of him in the highest
terms ' since my acquaintance with
him. . ;
It necessary I will reproduce my
notes and thus settle the point at
usue effectively. -.
