PUTTING JUDICIAL OFFICERs.-We regret
to see the press of East Tennessee falling
into habit of "puffing" the Honorable
Judges Of our Courts. We presume it grows
out of the proverbia disposition of editors
to be complimentary, but the practiceis nau-
seatingly ridiculous, and must appear so to
the complimented parties. 1t is legitimate to
notice Zig OK or mammoth Jack; to nc.
knowledge the receipt of large vegetables
cabbage heads, for instance-.o herald, in
extravagant terms, the wonderful efficacy of
patent nosirum, and to write glowing Gu.
logy on the blood and performances of sta
ble-horse-all these are legitimate, ard pro-
per subjects for the pen of journalists who
have n talent and taste for that branch of
the versatile vocation. But for the press in
each Circuit, or Division, to announce, term
after term, that "Judge So-and-So has been
holding Court here this week, and discharg.
ing his duty with dignity and despotch,"-
Gas though II was something rare for Judge
to do that same)--and that she's a fust rate
Judge and id good feller" we respect
fully submit that this is crowding the bust
ness little too close into the neighborhood
of the ludcrous, and is below the quintes-
sence of double distilled nonsense. There
are occasions and emergencies when il is right
and proper for the press to speak in com.
mandatory, and even grateful terms OF the
men to whom is confded the high and sacred
duty Of administering the laws. But there
is a wide difference between that and the
practice we are speaking of. If the latter
is continued, after while the "puff" will be
expected and looked for, and if by accident,
or some other cause, il should fail to appear
at The accustomed time, the outside public
will begin to think there is something wrong
and that "IIis Honor" is falling below the
estimate previously fixed by the greasy ech
of popular caprice. The Judges of our
Courts are all higb-toned gentlemen, and we
are certain they have no taste for being "puff
ed" after the manner indicated, any more
than they would have for satire upon
just and conscientious discharge of their
duties.

heavy looking fellows--passed here on Tu-
esday, for the South-we believe the second
drove that has gone through on the "over-
+. land route" this season. We learn that sew.
eral lots have been sent forward from this
point per railroad.
Speaking Of hogs reminds us that some Of
the observation-disclosures we have learned
complain, in iiberal terms, that we don't pub
iish accounts of the pork market. Now we
hare published statements Of the pork mar
ket abroad in every issue OF the "Post" that
has appeared for tho last two months, us all
who read the paper must have seen. As
regards the local market for pork, we may
say there is none. We stated three weeks
since that several small lots had been sold at
6 cents nett, and zoe engaged, at cents, oil
we shall be able to pay for, two months ago.
We make this last statement for the benefit
OF those who seem disposed to measure us
by their own standard. One portion of our
readers are sellers and another portion buy
ers; and II is our duty to state the facts as
they exist in regard to tho markets, and nei-
Their attempt to put up or put down prices
This duty we have discharged and shall con-
tinue to discharge as long rs We publish
paper, without stopping to enquire whether
this or that class is to be affected by the re-
suit. And If any class, or interest, expect
my other course at our hands, all we have to
say about il is, that they are mistaken in the
man, and had better buy their news at some
other shop. Begging pardon ot-the four
legged animals for having introduced them
in this connection, we take leave of the hog
ish subject for the present with the remark,
that few lots have been engaged here this
week at cents nett; and we understand one
lot, extra large, has been sold at 81 gross.

Columbia Market.

Cotton.-There is so little cotton offering at
present that we have almost no market at all, and
therefore all we can say is that if the article was
offered it would be freely taken at very full prices
On Wednesday, the advices from Liverpool by the
America to the 4th instant came to hand, report
ing sales for the previous week of OO0 bales, at
q slight advance on former quotations-specua-
tors took $500 and exporters 5000, leaving q
stock on hand of 667, 900 bales, of which 495,
are American. 1t is impossible to say what effect
these accounts would have had on our market, as
there was not enough of cotton sold after they
were received to be any thing like test Of their
effect and consequently we can only continue our
former quotations, as we ore fully satisfied the
article if offered would freely command them, VIZ

Bacon.-We can only repeat what we said in
our last, viz there is no country cured bacon III
the market, and all we can say is it would freely
command 16 cents q ID.
Corn-There is Il fair supply OF corn on the
market, and prices are shade lower We now
quote: Sll24 "a Sl.l5 Z bushel
Peos:-Cow peas are so scarce at present that
they would almost command any price. We quote
Sl.3O 6 S135, and even at these prices they
cannot be got.

Yorkville Market.

WEDNESDAY -EVenlng, July Il.
Couon.-Since our last issue, there have been
several lots put upon the market-all of which
were freely taken at full prices. Our quotations
were full sustained, and our figures show slight
advance on the finest quality; some few bales
having sold as high as l3}. The foreign news by
yesterdays paper shows no change in prices. ~!
to lS3 may be considered the value of the article
here now. Upwards of go bales have changed
hands since our last.
Wheat.-This article has been in good demand
in Charleston, and the receipts have been large
for the last week, which caused declining ten
dency and prices have given way little. We
quote Sl1O to S1.25, as the prices offering here;
but we think these prices will hardly be sustained,
and think the first sales will be the best.
