Facts Revealed.
praoticabl,

We had concluded not to notice Mr.. ISAAC BR1pGE,s
erce nvectve Of the 18th instant any farther than
card which appeared in the Delta and Bulletin of this
city but he has forced by attack in the Bull
tin to make statement Of facts and 1t is but just that
the public should learn something of the gentemans an
tecedent that they may know how much confidence can
be placed in his statements. For many years he was
agent for Messrs Starnes Marvin manufacturers of
what is generally known Rich's salamsnder Safes
The agency peremptory transferred to the highly
respectable firm of Messrs southnayd & Harrison The
cause Of the transfer as learn from circular sent by
Messrs. Sarnes Marvin to the various Safe manufsc
turers deficiency of $4,000 or $4,000 in the
gentleman's accounts with Messrs. Starnes Marvin
which they claimed belonging to them but held by
Mr. b. as commissions due him from S. 6 NJ in conse-
quence Of their not keeping him supplied with as many
Safes as he could have sold yet appears that his store
was pretty generally filled and we'll assorted all the time
This Mr.. Bridges ofet to Messrs g. & MS claim
and finally compromised by arbitrators to that effect
because 1t was Messrs g. MS only alternative and
before this was settled the gentleman writes to Mr. sas
c. Herring, of New York soliciting begging praying even
to give him (Bridg the agency OF his Champion Safe in
New Orleans promising by his exertions to make it the
most popular Safe in the Market
So these Safes which have been practicng mastery
inactivity in this MARKET are the very identical article
Mr. B. SO eagerly sought after But it appears further
y. L,
was sng in case he could not obtain the agency Of
Herrings Champion sate to accept the agency OF any
Safe good bad or Indifferent it mattered not so long as
he could palm of on the public sufficient number to fill
his own Golfers. Hear him: II would be prepsred to
compete in this market with my successor in the sale o.
ANY OR EVERY OTHER ARTICLE. My capacity in that line
well known here and elsewhere and ANY Safe Mapuac
turer who is willing to remunerate amply will find 1t
to his interest to secure services this being circular
all thA &
seems that he determined if possible to obtain the
agency of Safe Manufacturer it was immatsra to
him what Safe it was, SAFE Listen what he
says again in letter No. q know that am capable
especially If can retain my present valuable stand Of
rendering It, Herrings Safe or any other he might osr
for sae0 more popular than any other kind WILL pE,-
having great reliance his capacity and ability 10 gull
the people of New Orleans and make them believe that
every thing he said about Safe Law ANp co.rE1
He says again 81 think that consciousness of the in
justice C that has been practced upon me- would rem
der me more formidable competitor to starnes Mar.
vim than have been to either of their competitors
and give you satisfactory reasons, should we con-
cude an engagement, why could rapidly demolish the
structure have created"
Helcontinues: "Unless soon determine whether am
to have another Safe Agency Agencies fear cannot
retain my very desirable or that purpose) stand being
thus creumstanced hope you may find /. convenient tc
visit me- leaving soon after receipt of this you cannot
leave home will strive to explain my views SO as to b,
understood Can you not advise by telegraph wheths,
you can come or notn Strange haste and anxiety to
become possessed OF the Agency OF article inactive
and worthless" Truly the fox found the grapes sour
it was after he could not reach them 5
While Mr. b. was Agent for Rch's Safe they were the
best in the world and everybody who had anything
to do with Frepoof Safes bare pretenders and vile
imposters" He not content with these vouminous
letters to Mr.. Herring soliciting the Champion Safe
Agency, but to house in Boston, friends of his
beseeching them to plead his cause with Mr. Herring
which they did. Such of Mr. BPS sntecedents
Now is it to be abused by such man. and il
such man worthy public confidence and trust,
In regard to the six propositions in his advertisement
answer explicitly: First, did say that We could
open his Concrete Safe without key second we did
say that there Agency in Cincinnati for Her
rings Safe. Third did say the sale of the Champion
Safs equslled that Of the Concrete in that market
Fourth, fifth and SIXTH destitute of truth as thu
"baseess fabric of dreamn AL OF Mr. 's letters Il
Mr. Herring and copies of Mr. Herripgs answers are fo
public inspection at our office.
