TIE ASSOCIATED PRrss.--The agent Of The Asso-
eiated Press at Louisville would do well TO bear iD
mind that Memphis psrsrs pay for and are entitled
to whatever Eews is telegraphed South or West
IRON that point Several instsnees have recent
y occurred 81 which the press Of this city has
been shanefnlly neglected in this respect and
whsre news has been dsiTsEei here twenty -four
hours after its transmission to our contemporaries
CT Northern, Western and Southern cities. AS III
stances in point may meLtion tie details Of the
Asia's advces, published In Louisville, Cincinnati,
b. Louis and New Orleans Papers Of the 18th ut.,
and not received here until day after; the
der sad mob demonstration at 81. Louis on Friday
last full accounts Of Which were published in ihe
a19uissilie ara CincinDni papers Of Saturday, but
in regard to which Memphis papers and their rea-
ders were LEFT in almost prOfcun1 ignorance; the
recent disastrous FIRE at Gblena, also teegraphed
10 the above cities, and to the pgpers Of which we
were eomPelledtos lock fer information instead Of
through The medium of The telegraph. Similar
omissions have been complained Of heretofore. and
being as without doubt they are, the result Of
WaBtOndtrel Lotions Of duty onthe psrt Of the Louis
vile reporter, his SHORTCOMINGS are recommt nded
70 Immediate aud especial attention from head
quarters Memphis papers have ever accorded the
association liberal patronage and If ctntinusncs
Of the came is desired that corporation must scru-
tinize more closely in future The business conduct OF
its employees. We trust it will not be n, esssa-y
for US 10 refer to this subject egsin.-AeIPhis But

We have repeatedly called the attention Of the
managers of the Associated Press" monopoly to
the outrsgeously shameful manner in which the re-
porter at Louisville neglscs tho discharge Of his
proper duties, but so far these camplsioIs seem
not 10 have attracted attention at hesd-lusr-
ters. The news which our Memphis contempt
rary complains was withheld from the papers
of that city was also Withheld from the Nashville
papers.
TIE telegralbie dispatches which We published
yesterday morning show that the reporter at louis
vile is wholly united for the place he occupies,
and whether he be wilfully or igaOrsntly SO, the
managers Of the s. Associated Press should take
the proper notice Of the imposition he is continual
y PrAoteing upon the papers south Of Louisville.
For instance. Thursday evening he sent US dis
Paeh announcing that the steamer Africa, with
Liverpool Gates to the 2s.h uIt had arrived
that day Qhs 9th) at New York, aud such
details as ne furnished US we're laid before oar
readers yesterday morning. Two hours after our
paper had been Distributed, we received cur
Louisville papers by the regular mail in which
Eve 6nd it announced that the steamer Arsgo
from Galway arrived st St. Johns, n F., on the
9Th; and our surprise may be Unsigned when We
discovered that the news which We published yes
teTdsy morning SIS hEving been recsiEed by tie
Africa at New York, the oh. was published in
the Louisville papers Of the Sta as having been
received by the Arago, at st. Johns, New
Founiland, on the evening Of tho 9TH, and
telegrAlhed from that place to Louisville on
the Slh. Lnsteld Of sending this news on 10 US
on the evening Of the 8th the Louisville reporter
permitted it TO lie in his Office until it vas published
in that city and then several hours after it's appear
auce in the papers there il is sent to US in an sb
brevistei form. OF Whist practical use lie the iee-
graph to the Nashville papers if We cannot beat tie
Louisville papers more than two hours in getting
out late and important news, for the Transmission
Of which We pay the Associated Press its price
The foreign news is no! the only matter in which
the "oll fogy" reporter at Louisville allowed the
papers there get the advantage of the Nashville
papers Here is of the dispatches he sent us
Tkursday eDeniRg:
BRISTOL. Tenn, June S.-The mail train run over
coz. Sam. Tate, President of the Memphis and
Charlest \ Railroad had b arm broken Several
others we're wounded, bat not seriously.
Here is the same dispatch as pubIishedin the
Louisville papers of Thursdar morning
BRrsroI, Tenn, Juoe S.-The mail train from
JiynGbburg, Va, on the Virginia and Tennessee
Railroad, a COW this morning, near this
town. The first and secOld class cars were thrown
from the track, and almos. demolished. The brakes
man was killed. Samuel Tate President of the
Memphis ani Charleston Railroad, had his arm Sc
yerely bur', ard it is supposed to be broken. Sew
CrAl ether passengers wounded, but not
riously.
{ In taisl dispatch the reader has fair specimen
Of The style ia which dispatches are sent to US
brief aud unsatisfactory as iutimated by
oar Memphis contemporary, many, very many, i'm
portant matters are not even referred to. We hope
these evils will be remedied without the necessity
Of referring to them sgaiu.
