The SchuVlerisiug Again.


 The Memphis Eagle and Enquirer, comment ing upon the report made by the committee of the Cairo and Fulton directory, in vindication of Mr. Beebe says that the design of the re- port is to produce the impression that the commissioner MT. Beebe,) had paid the Pu- laski internal improvement fund over to the Cairo and Fulton company only on regular five per cent. calls.
 This is not so. No one can rise from the reading of that report under the impression that any such an attempt IS made. There ia nothing in it to warrant the declaration of { tbe Eagle and Enquirer. The company have \ m desire to conceal the manner in which a that fund was paid out, nor is concealment necessary. Every citizen in this county is aware of the whole transaction, and, though they alone are interested in it, there are but few, very few, who do not approve it. The fund was paid over to the treasurer of the company by the commissioner upon an order of the county court, and at the time the or der was made, the city press, some of our ablest lawyers and the people generally, ex- pressed themselves we'll pleased with it.
 Ali the clamor that has since been raised about it is the work of the Gazette, paper known to be devoted to its own selfish ends, and opposed to the building of any railroad in this State but one to connect Memphis and Little Rock. The Eagle and Enquirer, in regarding it as the finger board" of pu- bile sentiment in this State, or as a paper of respectable standing, deceives itself. In quoting it and following it upon public ques- tons, the Eagle and Enquirer only subjects itself to odium. If there is a right and wrong side to any question, the Gazette al- ways chooses the wrong. It has been so since its establishment, and, as the same con- federates still own and control it, it will con- tinue to be so until its final suppression.
 The part the Eagle and Enquirer is play ing towards the president of the Cairo and Fulton railroad, is anything but candid or magnanimous. Having failed to establish the serious charge of "Schuylerising'' against him, it now adroitly seeks to divert public atten- tion by directing it into another channel. It has not the openness and candor to do Mr. Beebe justice. The charge it preferred against him was one of a highly criminal character, and its proof if any it has ever produced only shows that MT. Beebe was executing a commendable order of the county court. 1 f/ +bo G,;, E,,l4 leads the editor of the Eagle and Enquirer too far. When he sees the result of his labors a few months hence, he will at least agree with us that he went great way, worked very hard and sacrificed a great deal to very little pur- pose The Cairo and Fulton railroad and even the character of the president of the Cairo and Fulton company are too secure to be effected by the malevolence hurled against them
 One thing more and we are done with the Eagle and Enquirer. It says that it did not lmpeach the disbursements of MT. Beebe made by order of the company" No it did not im- peach these, but it did charge him with wrong fully using the funds of the companv-using them for personal and selfish purposes-and
  called upon the stockholders to look we'll to it." This the report of the committee contra diets and the artful shuffling of the Enquirer is now resorted to only to get clear of the odium of having made such slanderous accusation.
 Here is its charge against Mr. Beebe:
 He was County Commissioner, as well as President of the road, and, in disregard of law and the rules and regulations therein provided. took the money out of the Commissioners pocket to put into the Presidents wallet, and has been ever since using it to defray the ex- penses of his very toploftical efforts to puff him. self and road into importance in the popular estimation. We have ourselves seen sundrv manifestoes which were doubtless printed and paid for out of the internal improvement fund of Pulaski county, thus illegally appropriated by Mir Beebe."
 l The report of the committee shows these charges to be entirely gratuitous We are not at all surprised at the anxiety now of the Eagle and Enquirer to smooth them over, and even to deny having ever made them
