Col. TYLER, one of the editors of the
Memphis Appeal, attended the last meet
ing of the Tennessee Press Association,
at Nashville, and in recent number Of
his paper he writes very spiteful arti-
Gle in regard to its proceedings. 1t is not
written in that tone which is expected
from one Of the leading city papers of
Tennessee, and certainly not as a Presby-
terrain preacher should write. Col. TY-
LER's bitter article makes it matter of
duty on the part of the members of the
Association to defend its action against
his unjust assaults. A brief history of
the proceedings ofthe Convention is nee.
essary to show that Col. TYLER's ungov-
ernable rage is without an excuse. The
Convention met in the morning, and a
constitution and bylaws were read and
acted upon by section. One of the last
articles provided tor a per capita assess
ment whenever any member of the AS
ISOLATION should die, of a stated sum suf-
ficient to defray his burial expensas,
etc. Considering the fact that country
men are usually very poor,
this was an excellent feature, and twen>
ty-seven members voted for it, while
only two or three followed Col. TYLER
in his captious opposition. The article
was adopted, almost unanimously, but
the city editor Col. T. continued to fight
it, and fuss about it, and threaten, until
DIR. WHITE, Chairman of the Committee
that presented the Constitution, moved
its reconsideration, and it was laid on
the table until June This was done for
the sake Of harmony. The Constitution
was at last adopted, almost unanimously,
Col. T. again being in woful minority.
He wanted it an association of papers |
and periodicals, and not editors and pro-
prietors. Col. KELLAR and Gen. JONES |
agreed with Col. T., but when they found |
in the minority, they cheers
FULLY acquiesced to the will of the major |
ty. Not so, Col. T. After dinner he !
rallied his forces, and while many of the |
members were absent, blinking the
matter was all settled) he fought the |
battle over again, and got the iwhole |
Thing in a regular Schwleswig-H olstein
He seemed determined to |
have his way or break up the Associa-
ton. His age, fame and position secur-
ed the profound respect of the Conven-
ton, aid his conduct, in any one of less
degree would be called bad tempered,
petulant, sour, domineering all through.

Louis NaPOleOm's E'rOcI:a ma { ion
to the French People.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE following is
a translation Of the proclamation ad-
dressed by the Emperor Napoleon to
the Electors of France:
WiihelmshOhe, Feb. S.-Betrayed
by fortune, l have kept since nv
captivity profound silence, which is
misfOrtunes mourning. AS long az
the armies confronted each other. /
abstaincd from any steps or words
capable of causing party dissensions.

fore my country's disasters without
appearing insensible to its sufferings.

tons would appear to have been die.
tated by personal considerations. |
left the Regent to decide whether it
was to the interest of the nation to
continue the struggle. Notwith-
standing an unparalleled reverse,
France was unsubdued, her strong
holds unreduced, a few departments
invaded, and Paris in state of de-
fcnsc The extent of her misfortunes
might possibly have been limited.
but while her attention was directed
to her enemies, an instruction arose
at Paris, the seat of her representa-
tives violated, the Empress was
threatened, and the Empire, which
had been three times acclaimed by
the people, overthrow and abandon
ed. Sitting my prescntimcnts, 1 OK.
claimed, "What matter my dynasty, if
the country is saved ?" Instead of pro-
testing against the violation of nv
right, l hoped for success in defense,
and admired the patriotic devotion of
the children of France.
Now, when the struggle is suspen-
ded, and all Unreasonable chance of vic
tory has disappeared, it is time to call
to an account the usurpers for their
bloodshed and ruin and squandered
resources. 1t is impossible to ADAM
don the dcstinies of France toan unau-
thorized government which has left no
authority emanating from universal
suffrage. Order, confidence and
solid peace are only recoverable
where the people are consulted re.
specting the government most capable
of repairing the disasters TO the coun-
try. 1t is essential that France
should be united in her wishes.
For myself bruised by injustice
and bitter deception, l do not know or
claim my repeatedly confirmed rights.
There is no room for personal ambi-
ton. But till the people are regular
fy assembled and express their will it
is my duty to say that all acts are
illegitimatc. There is only one gov
eminent in which resides the nation
al sovereignty able to heal wounds,
to bring hope to firesides, to reopen
profaned churches for prayers and to
restore industry, concord and peace.

PATENT SILVER MOULD WHITE
t4fs -fa-s - WIRE
CLOTHES LINE I!

To the Ladies Of 1faniy and 4dioinin9
Counties "
WE ASK THE PRIVILEGE OF SOLIC-
wv iting your attention to our new quality
Of Clothes Line Wire, manufactured in such a
manner, of white metallic substance, that it is
prevented from ever corrodiDg or changing
from its beautiful white color during any num-
Der of years. We guarantee it to be perpetual
ly infallible against rust, and after you have
used it we are confident that you will concur
with the statements of thousands of families
loud in its praise who have it in use.
Z The following are the advantages gained by
using these Patent White Wire Clothes Lines:
LIST. They are truly an ornament wherever
placed, always retaining that shining Wilderness
are forever clean and never have to be taken in,
no matter what the weather may be, water or
frost cannot effect them.
I'd. The durability of this Wire Line is one of
the greatest considerations, as it will last from
thirty 10 fifty years, and during that time you
will wear out great many. cOmmOn lines, be-
sides being obliged to put up with an immense
amount of trouble with them.
Sd. After it is put up and wiped off it is al
exposed to dust and dirt and must be washed
before it is used or it will soil the clothes.
4th. BY actual experience il is found to be by
far tie cheapest clothes line, besides its great
convenience. This will last lifetime.
9Th. You can never hang it too heavily with
clothes.
9th. Another of the chief advantages of this
line over the rope line is that clothes Of any kind
will not freeze to it in cold weather, and the
finest fabrics can be removed at any time with,
ont injury. A rope line will always absorb
moro or less moisture from the clothes, and in
cold weather will freeze through and through,
and thin articles cannot be removed without
liability of tearing them. While the wire being
of pure metallic substance does not absorb
the slightest moisture, consequently there can
not be frost enough formed to cause an adhesion,
and even the finest gauze can be removed from
the line without injuring it in the least.
7th. The alkalies now being used in the pat
ent soaps ha We net the least effect ON the White
Wire Lines. They dry quick and escape.
Sth. It will save you its price in saving you
time and trouble every six months You own it.
: 9th. It never will break and drop clothes in
to the mud. The old rope line is frequently the
cause of whole day extra washing. This one
thing alone Is enough to condemn the old style
oil lines farever, and call into requisition On ar
tcle that is free from all such provoking annoy
auces, something strong, clean and durable.
Get the Patent Everlasting White Wire Line,
then you have it righs.r
