dressed to the editors Of that paper:
| GENTLEMEN 81 have hitherto for.
borne to take any notice Of mo various
misrepresentation which have been
irdnsriously circulated in the pn6lic
prints in regard to my alcrcat:on with
Judge Fisher Oh the o july last, and
would still forbcar if | tansullcd my
own will and judgmcnt only. In viel,i-
ing 10 The wishes OF Others, sii.li make
very brief statement.
In the course OF HAT alteration,
Judge Fisher said nc was then sick.
but | knew where to Gni him or words
TO that effect; and ho held himself re-
sponsiblc in every iorn, for what he
said or did. We were ;hcn @n@arcd in
!: trial involving o mans HE. ard told
him | would wait Alter hc had given
me this plain inlmation, he applied 10
noe the most offensive and cpprotrious
cpilhclc.
waited ill that trial WIS over, and
he had recovered his health, when |
delivered TO him on Saturday last
note, Of which The following is true
copy:

Cured between ua, VIXEN YOU returned

that you were then aic,;, GuA were pleas.
ed to add. you know where to find
me- and hold myself responsible il,
every form Tor whatevc- say or Ao,"
or words to that effect, alter which you
applied to mo The most opprobrious rpi
thcts. There is but oncs interpretation
Of such an nlimalion received among
gentlemen.
I told You could waij, and am grail
ied 10 find Won have recovered, aud
that the trial Of the then pending case
being now closed, we arc both at liLcr
ty.
That no time may be unnecessarily
lost, | beg you will let me know, as
soon as you convenient can, when i,
will suit you to meet me OH OF ;h.s Dis

And am,f your most obcdcnt scr.

Since then have not heard from
him, and now feel myself at liberty 10
make it pubic. | have only further
to add, that the alteration to which he
refers, in his Judgment cxpclling me
from the bar, did not take place until
after the court had adjourned he had
left the court room. and, rs believe
the court house, whcn lie returned, and
we met casually. Oi this fact I lave
mdisputa6lc proof. Nor did offer
h'm any insult or indigni,y in approach.
ing him nor did he make any cxplana-
ton, or offer any, or say that he intend.
cd to insult me nor did / threaten, or
even think of offering him any personal
indigniLy CT chasliScmcnt. He com.
planned of being sick, and no man who
knows mo will bclivc that wonlh have
touched him. I believe he was sick,
for |lc challenged nc 10 60 out and igh,
him, and repeated it. lIo certainly
would not have done so if he had been
well. Hc seems to have accd under
strange teluson or mlsapprchcnsion
of tho facts, and sill labors under
IL.
The bar having, without my knowl-
edge and against my will, taken charge
OF tho investigating Of the facts, | shall
await their report before present my
statement to the public or the proofs by
which it can he supported.
LII the meanwhile know my friends
will take my word for Ii, that have
nei her said or dono anything which !
have TO regret, and ] request hose who
do not know me to suspend their ind
ment until tho facts are known.
JOS. II. BRADLEY.
