IT Is Our DUTY.-So far, the Brownsville |
Bee appears to be the only Democratic or
Conservative paper in the State that op,
poses the Press Convention proposed to be
held in Nashville in January next 1t
labors quite hard in its efforts to tell the
world how its honor and its spirit of indie
pendence can never be blackened or weak
ened by taking hand in the matter at all
Now, we wish to have a say in this direct
imputatiOn, not because we introduced the
subject, but because we are convinced that
the Convention will be of great benefit to
the Press as well as to the public. So far
as the begging" is concerned we do just
about as little Of that sort of business as
we do in the DRAGGING line, and never have
yet learned that man was beggar when
he was seeking his lawful rights 1t is a
wellknown fact that the Legislature enacted
a law, hastily, too, giving the Governor the
power to select the papers he desired the
legal advertising to appear in. Out of the
thirty-ive or forty papers published in the
State, he named only seven or eight, and
those of the rabid Radical type, to tke mani
fest injury, not only OF the remaining
papers, but to the public at large. Now,
Mr.. Bee, it makes no difference how much
talent and genius is displayed once a week
in country Office, nor what Office it is,
nine-tenths of the subscribers VIII frankly
tell you that all they take the county paper
for is on account of the local news, orders
of court, and legal advertisements gener-
ally. And you know full well that it is our
duty to contend for our own rights, and
highly magnanimous and gentlemanly to
contend for the rights of others that it is
our duty to oppose wrong, to expose wrong
and seek every honorable means to do away
with wrong and see that right prevails. You
know that the act which robs this paper as
well as your own is wrong; You know that
it would be right to rescind that act; then
why not act in the right and not fling sneers
and jeers at those who only desire to place
before the public the why's and wherefores
of the outrage perpetrated upon the COnser-
vative press of Tennessee by the Legisla-
lature. Certainly there is need of action,
and when that action is had, the result will
be beneficial to the public as we'll as to our
selves If you will allow US, we will state
that our idea of the work to be brought be-
fore the proposed Convention is this:
We are laboring under unjust law, a
law which ought to be repealed; let the
Press Convention ask the courts to sign
petitions requesting repe of the law.
This is the whole thing in nut shell, and
if there is begging in this we cannot see it
1t is our duty to do this. Don't kick out Of
the traces; let all pull together, for the
work can be accomplished, and you will
have lost no honor when you shall have been
recognized as one who took part in the Con
YentIon.

proprietors of the ferry over Hatchie river

seen that this is a most important business
affair, one in which this community gener-

fellow-citizens who live on the north side Of
the river. The price Of ferrage has driven
thousands of dollars of trade from the
county site, and debarred many visit to
our town from those who desired to come
here for various reasons We would ask
our business men and the members of the

A young Hebrew, named Fred. Kornick,
and whose parents reside at St Louis, com
mitted suicide in Memphis on the 18th inst
The facts, as we learn them, are truly
touching, 1t seems that young Karnick
was well educated, was employed in q dry
goods house, that he was discharged on ac-
count of gambling at keno, that he became
Respondent, got out of money, and rather
than beg or steal, deliberately blew his
brains out with pistol What sad com
mentary upon the gambling bells Of the
present agel Before committing the awful
deed, the friendless outcast wrote touching
letter to his father, and stated to him that
he had resolved upon selfdestruction, as he
had no money, no friends, and could not
procure a situation whereby he might earn
a livelihood
