IIuttOFS OF ttc CHtOH:
GENTLEMEN Having, as I conceive. been
wrongfully assaiIed by few papers at the
South, you VIII please allow me a brief space
in your paper for defense. 4 friend in Ala
bama has Just sent me an article clipped
from some unknown paper, but credited to
the Montgomery Mail, of which the follow
ing Is an extract:
4 fellow in Washington advertises that
he viii apply for all the contracts and take
all the Oaths and sublet the contracts TO ex-
-ebs who viii pay him 5 per cent of the
pay. But we would warn the people against
such Yankee dodge. lie would draw all
the pay at Washington, and put ibjnto his
loyal pocket
presume 1 am the person alluded to, as /
am advertising to aid the Southern people
in reopeuing the vacant mail routes and
charge %per cent. commission. But | defy
the editors Of the Montgomery Mail or any
other persons to sustain the allegations made
in the foregoing article Though poor am
proud to believe that possess a character
/ that is unimpeachable
When I came to Washington city brought
with me a recommendation signed by six of
/ the most prominent persons in my county,
! (Moore, \. Co. with the certificate of the
/ Clerk Of the County Court and seal of Office
attached, certifying that | was a truthful and
reliable man. l also have a recommends
/ ton from the Hon. ID. L. Swain, President of
/ the University Of North Carolina, one from
! the Hon. Montgomery Blair, and many
/ others. therefore defy any person acquain-
/ ted with me to bring aught against my CHAR
| acter either at home or abroad. Having
/ heretofore so conducted myself as to win
! the confidence Of my acquaintauces, it is
now my determination to so manage this
mail business as to win the confidence Of

viii put nothing in my loyal pocket only
what rightfully belongs there. L viii here
/ insert an article from the North Carolina
! Argus of April l6 1866
We overlooked last week to call atten-
ton to the card Of Mr. Bryan Tyson, on our
/ fourth page, proposing a way by which the
numerous mail routes, now stopped, may be
| re-opened. We have some acquaintance
with Mr. Tyson. and know his references
very well, and believe that he would not
| make the proposition he does without proper
! authority. lie is an honest man, too much
/ 50 for his own interests as the times 70, and
has been rendered quite poor by the result
Of the war We urge the press Of the South
| to give Mr.. Tyson card circulation. NORTH

No, Mr.. Mail, my seemingly bad charac-
/ ter consists IN the grOund!ess assertion Of
people who knew nothing whatever about
me and who very probably jadge me by per
sons residing nearer home.
Notwithstanding these aspersions it seems
the people still have confidence in me for /
deposited bids the past week to the amount
of over 1000 and have some very impor-
tant mail Routes IN operation and viii soon
| have others.
In conclusion / would say that l am in
for having the mails re-established and care
bat little how it is done, whether through
me or otherwise Those confding 10 my care
may rely upon fair and prompt dealing.
Your obedient servant,
BRYAs TYsoN.
