Our public have no doubt Of late noticed
that the APPEAL has constantly been call
ing attention to the awful depravity and
fearful moral condition of the city of Lou
isyille. Our persistence in this course
reused in the breast of the Courier
Journal, of that city, ar impIaeable ha-
tired toward the APPEAL; and burning
with adesire for revenge, that journal cast
about for some means by which 1t
might wreak upon us a fearful resribu-
ton. In pursuance of this object, 10 con-
ceived a plot which, for diaDolical cnn-
ming, cold-blooded cruelty and deviiish
malignity, cannot possibly be exceLled.
Our readers will scarcely believe us when
we tell them hat this J0arnGl, this
Courier Journal, deliberately determined,
with a wickedness and depravity almost
incredible, TO copy into its olUaa drti-
etes from The AUdtGnehe, of thus city, and
credit them to the APPEAL. Could there
be a more perfect refinement of cruelty?
It is simply calculated to make q mild
man frautie. va
And to make the matter more unbear~
able, the AVGIGHehe goes to work and told
hypocrite that it ISL pretends to be
mighty mad about this conduct of the
inhuman COUrieT-JouTadt. One morning,
not long ago., 1t came out with a dOuble-
leaded notice o. the first page about il,

it, we will reproduce il here:
"rhe Louisville C0aTier-J0trndJ may
consider IL Journalistic courtesy to copy
articles from he AUdIdRehe and accredit
them to other papers, but We view it in
another light. It's latest act of this kind
is giving credit to the APPEAL for an ac-
count OF b tragic fate of Cole, the ex-
press robber, taken from the AVdLanchs,
which was the only Memphis paper that

This was ~turpentine on q fresh cut
cayenne pepper on a raw blister, and we
acknowledge we swore some. We felt
mortiied-humiliated. To have the
Courier Journal act so, was bad enough,
and to have it published in the 4~udiGnche
in that manner was almost intolerable.
But we WINGED, and groaned and bore it.
Now see how our Christian fortitude sand
fOrbearance has been rewarded.
The Huntington RepItticGR, of the
18th, came to US yesterday, all marked
with blue pencil lines, and in it (doubIe-
loaded tool we find the following: &
ave notice in the Louisville Courier
Journal, taken from the Memphis AP-
PEAL, a long haraDgne in regard to the
character and death of Mr.. Eli Cole at the
jail in this place a short time since, in
which the writer gets OFF an immense
amount of slang that originated ia his
own diseased brain; and we.are at a loss to
know how he managed to write an article
that length without telling more
thrdth, even if he had been paid to lie.
The particulars of the killing of Nj. Cole
were given in our last issue, and we deem
it unnecessary to refer to them here. The
APPEAL says that Mr.. Cole was shot by
the %jailer, which is false. 1t also says
ne was induced to break jail by one
of his female friends, who appeared under
his window, who had attractions for his
financial gizzard;' also that Mr.. Cole
was a 'psalm-siGger,' etc, etc, and init
mated that his money was divided among
the ladies Of this town. Now, we de-
the entire list of charges on the
ladies of Huntington as q base f~alsehood;
and whatever may have been Mr.. Coles
he never saw the day hat he would
condescezd to do as mean a thing as the
writer of that article did-telI lies on de-
cent ladies, either with or without pay,
and Islander the dead"
Put the AUaLanehe double-leaded notice
and that double-lesded article together,
and there is a double-leaded joke on the
great.enterprisist, which il the most re-
freshlng thing that we have had happen
to us since the dog days commenced.
