TIE ASSOCIATED PREsS --Thc arent of the Asso-
GATED Press al Louisville wond do we'll 10 bear in
mind that Memphis papers pay foc and are entitled
70 whatever news is ielegraFhed South or West
from that point Several instsnoas nave recent
~ occurred ia which the press Of this city has
= oeen shsmefEly neglected in this respect, and
where news has been delivered here tWenty-forr
hours after its transmission 20 cur contemporaries
Of Northern, Western and Southern cities As in
Stances IN point may meLtiOn ihe details Of the
Asis aayices, published in louisville, Ciacinnati

Louisville a. Cineinnaii papers Of SATURDAY. bat
IN regard to shich Msmphs papers ami their rea-
ders we're lefl in almost profound ignorance; the
recent disastrous ire at Ghlena also teleeraphed
TO the above cities, and to the papers Of Which we
were eempsied 10 look for information, instead Of
through the medium Of the telegraph. Similsr
emissions have been eomplained Of heretofore aud
beipg' IS without doubt they are, the result Of
WaSt9n derelcions Of duty the part Of the Louis
vile reporter, his Shortcomings are recommended
10 Immediate ard especial attention from head
quarters Memphis papers have ever accorded the
association liberal patronage, aud If CT Rtinuance
OF the same is desired that corporation must scru-
nnize more closely in future The business conduct OF
ITS employees. We trust it will not be necessary
ior us 20 refer to this subject again-AsRphis BIZ
tsfia, June g.
We have repeatedly called the ateati0n of The
Nmanagers Of the Associated Press" monopoly to
the oulrageously shameful manner in which the re-
porter al Louisville neglscts the discharge of his
proper duties, but so far these complaints seem
not 70 have attracted attention at hesd-qusr-
tiers. The news which our Memphis contempt
rary complains vas Withheld fr,m the papers
of that city was also withheld from the Nashville
papers.
The telegraphic dispatches which We published
yesterday morning show that the reporter al Louis
vile is wholly united for the place he occupies
aud whether he be wilfuly or ignoranGy SO, the
managers of the "Associated Press should take
the proper notice of the imposition he is continual
ly Praeicing upon the papers south Of Louisville
For instance, Thursday evening he sent us dis
patch announcing that the steamer Africa, with
Liverpool dates &c the % h ult, had arrived
that day (the 9th) at New York, aud such
details as he furnished us we're laid before OR
readers yesterday morning. Two hours after our
paper had been distributed, we received our
Louisville papers by the regular mail, in which
we End it announced that the steamer AragO,
from Galway, arrived at ST. Johns, n f., on the
9Th; and our surprise may be imagned when we
y
terdsy morning as having been received by the
Africa at New York, on the oh, was published in
the Louisville papers Of the STA as having been
received by tire Arago, at St. Johns, New
Four Hand, on the evening of che 9Th, and
telegraphed from that place to Louisville on
the s,h. Taste I'd Of sending this news on to US
on the evening of the s,h the Louisville reporter
permitted it to lie 10 his Office until it was published
IN that city and then several hours after its appear
in the papers there il is cent TO US in an ab
breviatei form. Of what practical use is the iee-
graph - the Nashville papers if We cannot beat the
Louisville pspers more than two hours in getting
out late AID important news, for the transmission
Of which pay the "Assooiatsd Press its price
The foreign news is no, the only matter in which
the cold fogy" reporter at Louisville allowed the
papers there to get the advantage of the Nashville
papers Here is one Of the dispatches he cent us |
Thursday ereHiHg:
BRISTOL Tenn, June 8.-The mail train run over |
Gov. Sam. Tate, President of the Memphis and |
ChaTest Railroad, had a s arm broken. Several |
others were wounded, bat not seriously.
Here is the same dispatch as Published in the
Louisville papers OF Thursday moTHmg:
BRISTOL, Tenn, June S-Tbe mail train from
IyucLblrg, Va, the Virginia and Tennessee I
Railroad, a this morning, near this
town. The first and secoad class cars were thrown
from the track, and almos; demolished. The brakes
man was killed. Samuel Tate, President Of the !
Memphis ami Charleston Railroad, had his aim SC |
yerely hur, and it is supposed TO be broken. Sew
Gral ether passengers wounded, but not Sc
Tiously.
{. In thisj dispatch the reader has fair specimen
OF the style in which dispatches are sent to us
brief aad uasatsfactOry-while, as intimated by |
oar Memphis contemporary, many, very many, i'm
poriant matters are not even referred to- We hope
these evils will be remedied without the necessity
Ct referring to them sgain.
