THE MARKET HOUSE.


THE MARKET HOUSE.
We have been called upon by several house.
keepers, and urged to advocate the propriety Of
building market house, in city. 1t would
not be believed, in other parts of the State, that
thriving commercial city, having population be-
tween l and 1000, like Van Buren, had no mar
ket house. So it is, but annexed wa give the fol-
lowing communical ion on the subject
Mr.. EDITOR - Sir: - On the first Monday in
January next, the election for Aldermen comes
off and wish call the attention of our citizens
to matter in connection with that subiect-it
is this: large majority of the people are in favor
of building Market House, and. as the Board OF
Aldermen will not take the responsibility OF CON-
plying with the wishes OF their constituents,
propose that all those tho are in favor of having
Market House, support ticket of Aldermen
who will pledge themselves to build one. Let US
require each candidate to express his views upon
the subject. Make the question:, " Market House
or no Market House,"
Many reasons have been offered, in particular
by those who oppose building market house, but
if tho people will investigate the matter, they can
easily trace them to self-Dterest. If seJ Interest
is a more predominant feeling than public interest
in public matters with a man, no should be set
aside, and his betters taken up. Il.
Eaireme Courtesy. When certain letters were
presented to The Memphis Convention, received
from distinguished mon whose attendance had
been invited, Mr.. Davis of Pamela county, Miss.
moved TO lay them on tie table, assigning as his
reason for this uncoureous motion, that he did
not know what were their contents, and was afraid
to hear them read. Lest such unprecedented ac.
ton might be adopted, and thus disrespect be
shown to gentlemen who had the politeness to re-
spond to the Committee, the member through
whom they were presented withdrew them.
