passage in it that we reproduce in these
columns, and would earnestly commend
to the members of the editors and pub
fishers union of this state, and TO all
members of the press who would like to
see their profession one they need not be
ashamed Of
THE paramount duty of the Literary
Press is purity of the Political Press,
honesty. Our Copyright law, as you
are aware, Mr.. Chairman, inficts a fine
for every repetition Of the offence, so that
the fine is multiplied as many times as
there are copies of the book printed, SO
the man who, as a writer for the Press,
says uchat he DIES not beLiere, or defends q
policy that he does not aPprore, on paHctsrS
to base passion or a Near prejudice. for a
party purpose, is so many times a traitor to
the craft represented at this ttJIe as there
are copies Of his newspaper printed. And
as honest or even dishonest difference OF
opinion is entirely compatible with cour-
tcsv, a. even dcHmcittOn Is thousand

tremendous power of the Press, let us re-
member that the foundations OF its pow,
er as truly civilzing influence are, pu-
rity, then honesty, then sagacity and IN
dustry. 1t may sometimes seem other,
wise but it is an illusion. A man may
build up Il great journal as he may amas:
any other great fortune, and seem to b,
a shining miracle Of prosperity. But i
he have neither love, nor honor, noI
troops of friends, his prosperity is a fan
orchard bearing only apples of Sodom.

ANOTHER Row.-We have been nforme
on the authority of gentleman just from
the scene, that there is trouble at Sulphur
Springs, Titus county, Texas. 1t appears
that, sometime since, q youth of that coun-
ty rode into the town of Sulphur Springs.
and shot down negro on the public square
A detachment Of the troops stationed there
proceeded to'the country for the purpose
of arresting the youth, and while riding
around in the country, shot an old citizen
in his own yard, killing him; whcreupon a
person named Bickerstatf, a desperate, we
understan nc, gathered his friends and follow
ers, and at last accounts had the town sur
rounded, and every avenue to it guarded
Dickersta had demanded the surrender of
the troops, (53 in number), and threatened
that if the citizens sided with the troops
he would burn the town. He is a bold
or reckless man thus to defy the whole
military power Of the United States. We
know nothing of the merits of this morti
flying affair." but wish it very distinctly
understood that we are emphatically OPP
posed to any other course than that of let
ting the law take its course. We wish to
see the laws enforced and justice admins
tered, no matter who may suffer.
1t will be seen by advertisement in this
paper that large reward is offered by
General Reynolds for the apprehension of
Baker and Lee.
