Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-10-09

| obnoxious to Radical politicians by main
tanning and defending the Constitution o.
| the United States against their usurpa
tiOns, that all sorts of plaques and evils
will he visited upon Tennessee
and all sorts OF benefits and blessings
withheld from her, if she elect him to the
Senate of the United States. These men
who urge such considerations for the con-
troll of the action of Tennessee are in ear
nest in their desire to accomplish his de-
feat, and unscrupulous in the means they
| adopt for that purpose. They would do
all the things they threatened-if they
| onlV could. To see Andrew johnson in
the United States Senate would startle
them with apprehension and make their
very knees TO smite one another with
fear. Such a sight would be to them more
terrible than Banquo's spirit to the
| affrighted soul of his own and his coun-
! try's assassin.
PRESS MEETING.
At the annual meeting of the Press AS
| sociation of Tennessee the following was

The Committee on Business made the
report, which was adoPtedi Z
LEGAL ADVERTISING.
Prices OF legal advertising should be
he same rates as charged other parties, /
,Or the reason that we can conceive no 8
ground for the iEE 70 require printing for =
itigants at less compensation than other
parties are charged. Ia
All legal advertising should be paid fef Z
Z tho time the work is ordered. The ex- .
'euses Of printing are cash, and the pres
mt system requires the publisher to pay
,ut his money and wait indefinitely for j
Is return. And we regard it as = general n
act that not more than one half, perhaps
ess, of the legal advertising is ever paid
or.
Repeal of the law authorizing the ap- o
ointment of papers to do the legal adyer- .
ising, leaving the provisions OF the code
o stand, with the amendments above P
such others rs experience '
nay dictate. +,
Che press deal with advertising sgsHts
5 with other parties, and must necessa-
lily look out for thsir honesty and sol b
ency. There are many sWipdlers among 7
hem, as is the case with gift enterprises
nd other concerns that apply to newspa- :
ers for advertising. @
We suggest that each member OF the
.ssociatiOn furnish the Secretary with
he Eames OF such advertising agents as
hey know tc be reliable, and also such as
ley know not to be SO, and copy of the
A.
ssociation. That upon the discovery by
ny of them of new swindler the fact be
to the Secretary, who shall B
il to each of the other men,
ars Of the Association.
If this course is deemed object ctionable, rt
-e would suggest every publisher, in case d
+ doubt, require the pay before the work 7,
done.
Travelling mountobanks and the entire h
lass of peripatstic cheats, should be OF
-eated in the same way. A
Personal ADvERTIsEMENTs.
The best rule upon this subject, we sug- ID
est, is to requir6 the regular rates of adj "
ertising in all cases where the Ipatter is al
esigned 10 advance private interests. d
here may be cases where private or COM -
any enterprises may be promotive OF the al
eneral public interest, and even of the id
u blisher. OF all such cases each pub a
sher must judge for himself-the only i
sneral rule that we can think of being o'
le one above suggested. tn
The Association then prOcseded TO the W
ection Of officers, which resulted as fol- NJ
