To the Editor of the Saturday Herald:
| RICHMOND, IND, Oct IL.
+ In your issue. of the 9Th inst. a
contributor over tie signature OF s.,
which 1 suppose signifies ''Smarty.'
presumes to enhghten the many
readers of the Herald on a matter
he evidently knew nothing abont;
and to dictate to the managers OF
the Pan Handle road their business,
the most paramount Of which Is to
remove me from my position as
ticket sgent at this city. After a
personal attack in reference to my
having lost leg and my brains,
which I had more of NJ Sic leg l
| lost than he has in his Uranium
that, if it is not cracked Cow, Will
be by that rubber cane he speaks
of if ever we meet He tefis sor-
rowful tale about ''threo lone
women who wanted to go to Kan
sas City via the Vandalia route, and
who were imposed on Ivy me who
forced Indianapolis and. St. Louis
tickets on them after nae having
advised them to take that route
and they refusing Now the truth
is 1 advised them to take neither
route, as we always sell tickets VIA
the Vandalia, having only eennec-
ton by that route. The mistake,
which / regret as much as they
did when they discovered 1t IN
changing cars at Indianapolis oc-
Cured in consequence OF tickets
being misplaced in new case, and
their being in such great haste to
catch train Just about pulling
out. En- CONCLUSION, suffice it to add
that his personal TRADE is bat a
compilation of fabrications from
beginning to end. Respectfully.
2. B. SyLvIs.
If we had ente. tanned any doubts
in regard to the truth OF our cor
respondents statements, the above
letter would have dissipated them,
and further convinced us that there
is another reason why Mr.. Sylvls-
should receive the grand bounce.
An agent who can FIJI out three i'm
portant tickets and not discover
what road they will be of service
on, is not as 1nfallible as all good
ticket agents should be, and COM
sequentiy not the man whom tho
travelling public desires to deal
with. How comes it, Mr.. Sylvis,
that you charge that SIS feser Was
a personal TRADE" and SO compi-
lation OF fabrications," &c, just af
fer you have admitted the sole
charge of the letter is true? Make
your statements consist. Mr.. Syl-
Wis, We do not find, on rcperu-
sal of the letter, that our CORES
pendent has made the slightest ref
erence 70 your s.leg.'' The word
does not occur therein. We are
suspicious that you thus go out of
your way to show cur readers two
insignificant facts, the first of which
is that you are s'minus'' log and
the second that your brains were
unfortunately located in that same
leg. Aiodesty, Mr.. Sylvis. should
teach yeu not to be 20 liberal IN
teach you not to, be so liberal in
your estimation of your own Brains.
Be modest, sell without any view of
commissions and you Will be
'appy
Our correspondents version of
the affair is supported by the tcs-
timony Of three ladies, and the gen
tleinan VINO accompanied them to
the ticket office, and the witnesses
can not be impeached, even by tie
missing leg.
