THE SOUTHERN PREss.-Touching the proceed
inrs Of the recent press Convention at Memphis
We are gratifcd at thc following report from the
Memphis Appeal There was never a greater
abuse than il now being pcrpetrated upon the
Southern press through their telegrapbic reports.
We are required TO pay an eXhorbitant price for
thcmlaud they are worth comparatively nothing
after they are received. As if purposcly done, the
most trashy and uninteresting items Of news are
furnished us by the reporter. and the more impor-
tant withheld. We frequently receive in advance
by mail and in far moro satisfactory form, news
that comes embodied in our dispatches. And yet
We are charged, and charged cxtravagantly. for
this sort of matter. We would have more pa
tcnce with this injustice il il cost the Press Re-
porter any more to send us the important than
the unimportant news.
The appeal says;
We refer with pride TO the proceedings of the
Press Convention which has been in session here.
and which adjourned yesterday. An organization
has been effected which viii work greatly TO the
advantage of the press 20 the patrons Of the press,
and 60 the country. The telegraph column Of the
newspaper iirst catches the eve Of the million Of
readers Of the daily papers. Its influence is i'm
mensc. IL controls politics and sentiment, and
! commerce. Heretofore the motive which gov
crucd this vast power was controlled AZ New York.
IL will astauish readers 60 learn that the local
controller Of the telegraph column Of the Appeal
has his credentials from New York. and that the
animus of the system in all its qualifications is
there. The Pres Of the West, properly the North
| West, has thrown of this tyranny after submit
ting 10 Il for years and, encouraged by it, example
and success, the South " eStem Press has declared
/ its Independence.

BUTLER, the "bottle imp" like the i'm
prisoned Startling" of whom pathetic men
ton is made in Stern's Sentimental journal,"
is exceedingly anxious to get out, and, like
the startling, he finds the operation difficult.
He is as restless as a hyena in cage, and is
most ferocious in his threats and menaces.
As soon as Radical cork-screw can be
brought to the rescue he intends rushing
forth into print, and if an ocean of printers
ink can overwhelm great soldier, General
Grant is in imminent danger.
Butler, however, is so very low-down in
the world that his contemplated volley of
mud will hardly deale the tops of the Leu
tenan; Generals cavalry boots. He cannot
reach up high enough to either stab or be-
spatter his great adversary. He will be in
the condition of the furious little dwarf who
swore that he would cut off the ears of a
giant The latter smiled contemptuously,
and told the angry msnnikin that if he
could get at has cars he was very welcome to
hack away at them Richmond Times.

Cry iMPRovENENTs.-We are gratifed to OBJ
serve the DISPOSITION manifested on the part Of the
city authorities to repair the streets, and other
wise provide for such improvements as may be
needed but there is one thing TO which their at
tention seems not TO have been directed, and that
is the establishment Of baths, for those who are
unable 10 take advantage Of the accommodations
in the private baths already existing in our city.
Ifsomo measures could be adopted by which the
poor who abound in this community, might be
supplied with baths at a moderate price, we arc
inclined 60 think that the public health would be
greatly improved thereby. and at the same time
prove n source Of revenue to the Corporation. In
other cities in our country, baths Of this kind have
been established, and if our authorities were TO
marguerite similar institutions here, we believe
that many would patronze them, who are now
prevented by sheer poverty from enjoying any
convcnicnccs Of the kind. Our City Fathers have
already made a good beginning, and We cannot Of
course expect that they will do everything yet we
have no doubt that something Of the kind referred
to, would be decided advantage to the com
munity.

PETITION FOR UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.
To the Senate and House of Representatives.:
The undersigned, women of the United
States, respectfully ask an amendment of the
Constitution that shall prohibit the several
States from DISTINGUISHING any of their citi-
zens on the ground of sex.
In making our demand for suffrage, we
would call your attention to the fact that we
represent fifteen million people-one half
the entire population of the country-intelli-
gent, virtuous, native born American citi-
zens and yet we are the only class who
stand outside the pale of political recogni-
ton.
The Constitution classes us as a free peo-
pie" and counts us WhoeIipersons in the basis
of representation; and yet we are governed
without our consent, compelled to pay taxes
without appeal, and punished for violations
of laws without choice of judge or juror.
The experience of all ages, the declara-
lions of the fathers, the statute laws of our
day. and the fearful revolution through
which we have Just passed, all prove the I'M
certain tenure of life, liberty, and property
so long as the ballot-the only weapon of
self projections not in the hands of every
citizen.
Constitution, and in harmony with advanc-
ing civilization, placing new safeguards
round the individual rights of four millions
of emancipated slaves, we ask that you ex-
tend the right of suffrage to women-the
only remaining class of difp&eehised citi-
zens-and thus fulfill your constitutional
obligation to guarantee to every State in
the Union a republican form of govern
ment."
As all partial application of republican
principles must ever breed complicated le-
gislation, as well as a discontinued people,
we would pray your honorable body, in or
der to simplify the machinery of govern
ment and insure domestic tranquility, that
you legislate hereafter for persons, citizens,
taxpayers, and not for class or caste.
For justice and equality your petitioners
will ever pray.
We give these documents to show what
we are to expect if suffrage is finally granted
to all the recently emancipated slaves. So
far as the argument derived from natural
right goes, the women have as good a case
as the negroes, while if virtue, intelligence,
and education give any claims to the exer-
else of the voting function, there are ten
| white women entitled TO it where there is
one negro. We hope Mrs. Stanton and her
coadjutors will 60 ahead and deluge Con-
gress with petitions on this subject. While
the suffrage question is in order let us dis
cuss it from all points of view.
