We are very sorry to that the Democrat of this
city publishes, without comment, statement copied
from the Memphis Bulletin the effect that the officers
of the Brilliant remss in their duty in saving their
passengers when that destroyed by fire. In
account of the accident noted the fact which
obtained from disnterested parties that the officers who
were in the cabin awakened the passengers in every
room, breaking open the doors of such were
fastened thus making that left in any
part the boat The clerks failed the papers
the boat while endeavorng to human life and the
officers who asleep in the Texas narrowly escaped
being burned alive, themselves, the fire spread
rapidly that the ordinary of from the hur
ricane deck cut off by the flames, and they were
! compelled to come down the side of the boat. We
authorized parties who cognzant of the facts
to that the account in the Memphis Bulletin is
gross Misrepresentation of the matter in keeping
with the oft evinced disposition of that newspaper tc
say damaging things against steamboatmen in general
We clip the following from the Gin cinnat Commercial
