AS The Editor in Chief Of this jOurno
entertained, some months ego, a vagu;
purpose Of engaging in journalism ir
Louisville, and was reslly undetermined
as 10 remaining permanently in Mem
phis, and rs this has very naturally giver
reason for suggestions that he might a
any time withdraw from the charge o
the APPEAL, it will perhaps not be
deemed improper for him now to say
that be has ~irrevocabiy determined 10 re.
main permanently in Memphis; and that
having earned an equal interest in the
APPEAL, be proposes to be its Editor in
Chief during the years that may remain
70 him in which 70 lRbOur.
VIII it be egotistlc In us to say, that
we have been in large measure moved "a
this determination by the fond and per-
haps not well-founded belief that our
opinions have had some weight with the
people whom the APPEAL reaches, and
f,iat we have done and may do good, by
aiding ether journals in elevating the
tone IF political discussion, avoiding per
sonalities, and repeating to the people
the lessons CT the wias and the good Of
all ages? u-e
We would fain do some good in our
day and generation. We would fain
serve the people, our client, to whom
we At least honestly endeavour 70 be
Ioyal. So We hope to be able-t atone
for the many errors and shor!-comingso OF
q ~chequereG life.
IL has been well and eloquently said,
uif We follow duty because it brings US
gold and peace and mans applause, where
is there effort in the choice OF it? Itb
only when It is hard, that there can be
any loyalty in its aceeptancs.P
"To ENJOY is much but 20 seek truth
and lsbour for freedom is more. Happi-
ness dies as age comes TO Us; It sets for
ever with the suns Of early years; yet
perhaps We may keep q higher thing,
reside which it holds but a brief royalty,
IL 20 ourselves we can rest trne, il for the
liberty Of the world we can do Rhy thing"
Tins is the measure and the scope OF
,our ambition.

COAL coMPET1TION-How 10 GET IT.

| The Davenport papers having published
the ridiculous and unfair statement of Mr..
Holmes, now publish the following. We
copy from the Democrat, as follows: .-a.s
Desiring to give Mr. Cable fair show.
we give his side of the question
ain the conversation alluded TO By Mr..
Holmes, 1t is but Justice to say that SIR.
Cable stated that the cost of keeping up
| the embankment, bridges, ties, &C., on the
hne of his road necessarily had to be added
to the price of coal, as the road was used
for no other purpose. He alluded to an ex.
penditure of ten thousand dollars as lust
made IN repairing one of the bridges on
Rock Riyer, and inquired if any one would
contend that it was not, under the existing
circumstances, legitimate part of the cost
OF. coal. He said if he had that elephant
off his hands with the right to use the track
on paying a fair proportion of the cost OF
Keeping 1t up and a reasonable profit there
Tor, he could produce coal much cheaper
than he could at present, and added that
the public would lave q perfect guarantee
for lowRprice of coal, as competition among
the yarlous mines along the road, which are
now open and which conld send coal to mar
Ret at any rates the railroad company might
see ut to establish, would necessarily uro-
duee such q price, ASA. : bal
~"He supposed the public did not care who
furnished the coal, so it was furnished at a
low figure, and he thought the public would
see that for the purpose of maintaining and
extending his market it would be to his in
terest to sell coal at much lower figure
than he could now afford, as he now had to
keep up the entire road and use it only for
thetransportation of coal. zsSa
@His ground seemed to be that the profits
of furnishing competing transportation
would be full equivalent for any losses
that might occur to him by increased COM
petition in coal, and that the railroad COM
pany would transport coal just as chsaply
Tor other parties on his line, as il would on
an independent line. Indeed, he contended
that 1t could be done more cheaply, because
what he paid the company for track service
would be just SO much money paid towards
keeping up the road"
