A CARD.

About fortnight since, we learned that's
mon Rosenthal a. Brother, had circulated Ar.
port in this city that we had written an aDoO,
nous letter to certain creditors of theirs IN g..
Francisco, containing false statements in re,
ton to their pecuniary Affairs, and induciO,
said creditors to make q descent upon their pro.
perty, which has resulted in the total dcstrue.
ton of their business at this place. In the Dn.
ocrqt of last week, we called attention to mi,
unfounded rumor, and in spirit of selfdefeuse
andSwith q mldness certainly in keeping win
the nature of the charge, pronounced it unqual.
fedly false.
Tn the Journal of last week O pathetic scardp
appears over the signature of this delectaT.
firm. which substantially reiterates the slander.
our accusation. 1t is at all times painful and
delicate task to obtrude personal grievance
upon the public ear but occasions do sometimes
arise when this is the only measure of redress
We have no design to engage in q war Of words
with anv such hombreS as S. Rosenthal i Bro.
because we do not think 'the game is worth the
CANDLE" but we propose to convict them Of
falsehood and sldnder upon the following letters
of Messrs. Frank Baker, Taffe, McCahill l. Co,
and Jones, Tobin & Co., of San Francisco, De
attaching creditors Of S. Rosenthal s. Bro.
Evidence of this character. from such source
is the very best of which the nature of the case
is susceptible, TO vindicate our conduct in this
matter, and to convict S. Rosenthal Bro. Of
the charges contained in the last sentence. isa
fair and Impartial judgment upon the evidence
contained in the subjoined letters. To the ssS,

tant to occupy the one or interrupt the other
in exchanging epithets with men who have shown
themselves strangers alike to common courtesy
and truth.
AS to the authorship of the anonymous letter
in question, we again repeat the assertion, and
once for all that we had no more knowledge Of
or connection with it. than the people of Rome;

and charge bis ruin upon 'those who had no
