NARROW-GAUGES.
Second Days Session Of the COnven-
tiOn at Cincinnati-The Practical
Workings of NarrOw-Gauge
Roads Clearly Demon
strated.

CINCINNATI, July 18.-The narrow gauge
railroad conventions second days attendance
was undiminished. A large number of COM
munications were received from delegates
who expected to be present, but were deter
red by the great heat, asking that the sessions
be postponed until autumn. A resolution
was adopted calling on the national executive
committee to collect and disseminate informa-
ton concerning narrow gauge roads, also give
ing it power to call subsequent convention
if deemed necessary. Several delegates then
gave their experience In constructing and
maintaining narrow-gauge lines, the object
being mutual instruction by interchange Of
views.
At the afternoon session series of resolu-
lions were discussed and adopted setting
forth that the practical workings of narrow
gauge railroads during the past six years,
and the established fact of the feasibility of
three-foot gauge, as well as the safety and
economy of the system, that its real advan-
tages could not be demonstrated until they
were able to reach the general distributing
depots, and that they should not be viewed
merely as auxiliary roads. An executive
committee of thirteen was appointed to ar
range subjects for discussion at another con-
yention to be held in this city during the
coming autumn, which convention will con-
tinue and perfect the work begun at this
time After the usual vote of thanks the
convention adjourned.

GEN. l.. Il. HORRIGAN.
He Sets at Rest n Couple OF Rumors
that are Being Circulated through
out the City and COunty-The
Lies Nailed TO the Counter.

Our reporter having heard it circulated on
| the streets that General l.. B. Horrigan, DEM
| ocratlc nominee Tor the office of Judge OF the
\ criminal court, should he be elected, would
| in short time thereafter resign his Office
and let the governor appoint his successor
determined to slit the matter to the bottom,
| and interviewed General Horrigan on the
| subject Ger reporter called upon the gen.
tleman, and stated TO him that the above ru-
NOR was being circulated by designing poll
tclans throughout the city and county, and
| to ms damage, we'll as the damage of the
Democratic ticket. Our reporter further
stated to General Horrigdn that it was also
being Industliously circulated that when he
| General HorrIgan) resigned he intended to
recommend to the governor the name of
Captain R. c. Williamson as his successor
General Horrigau-I have heard of both
rumors. and they are being lndustrIously CIR
culated IN the cou:ttTy and city. There Is not
a word Of truth u either. Were I to do as
these parties state will do, would be act
ing in bad faith with the people. 1t would be
stealing the office, and would be a dishonor-
able act. If elected, intend to serve out nv
term of office, and with all the ability pos
sess. | have not had any idea of resigning
the high and honorable office of judge should
the people honor me with the position.
You never have so stated. then, General,
inquired our reporter.
NO. sir, | have not, responded General
Horrlgan, | have said this, that | would
not pledge myself to remain in the office I'M
til the end of the term, because. were TO do
so, would feel In honor bound to remain in
Office until the end of the term, but some I'M
forseen circumstance might possibly take
place in the future which would necessarily
compel me to resign the office. Should
such ever take place land | now know of no
such contingency ir the future) | certainly
would resign just previous to some popular or
general election and LET the DoODle and NOT
the governor elect my successor. AS for re-
commencing any person as my successor, that
would be highly unprofessIonal and an act
would under no circumstance be guilty of. |
intend, if elected, to hold the office to the end
of the tern, and serve the people to the best
of my judgment and ability"
Reporter-Well, General, | intend, in the
APPEAL of tomorrow morning, to publish
your denial of the charges and thus settle for
ever the unfounded rumors.
General Horrigau-You have my permits
sion to do so; indeed, In justice to the Demo-
cratic party, think it ought to be published.
The high and honorable position of Judge of
the criminal court of Memphis is not one that
a lawyer would be apt to surrender during
the term of office after being elected to it by
the people.

From the Examiner and Chronicle !
Gross Evil and It's Remedies.

Crimes often seem to be epidemic. An
atrocious murder is almost always follow
ed by a half dozen similar crimes. A
man commits suicide, and dozen hasten
to follow his example. During the last
three or four weeks there has been an
epidemic OF another sort of crime-a kind
whi,h ought not SO much as to be named.
The daily papers have been full Of the
filthy and disgusting details Of these
crimes. a friend sends us two extracts,
each over a column in length, from two
influential papers published in the capi-
tai ol this State, with the request that
The Examiner will enter its protest
against this great evil We have said our
say on this subject before, but it is one
upon which constant iteration is necessa-
ry.
The well worn defence of the press is.
0! course, that the public is responsible
for he thing II people did not buy and
eagerly read the sheets whose columns
reek with tlthiness, their editors and
publishers would seek a different kind Of
news The publisher and editor of
newspaper, we are told, are simply cater
ers it is their business to find out what
the appetite of their readers demands,
and then to furnish it. And it may as
well be admitted that there Is an element
OF truth IN the defence. Publishing q
newspaper is commercial enterprise,
and those columns on columns of nasti-
ness would not be published if it were
not found to pay. No doubt the public
is guilty in Il measure, and that its desire
for scandal leads newspapers to publish
scandal.
But this is not the whole truth. The
daily press is not content with merely
satisfy the demands OF the public
appetite. The competition between rival
journals is SO keen that each strives to
outsirip the other in foulness. The APP
petite OF the public is whetted not mere
ly gratitied, and the newspaper helps to
increase the very evil 1t pretends to de
plore. Besides, the mission OF the press
is not merely to cater to the wishes OF
the public; it must do that to a certain
extent, or lack patronage, but it ought
to do more. 1t ought 10 aim at forming
