vile correspondents letter. Judging from
the reports we have seen, there is certaily an
abundant supply Of both gas and ignorance
in the two houses. In all our observation
and we have some experience, we have never
seen such develo2ement Of ignorance, in
any assemblage pretending to be deliberative
as has been displayed in both houses, on the
subject Of Banks and Banking. In all seri.
business, we think, If it were not a violation
of the Constitutional rights of the press, the
Legislature should prohibit any report of
their action and speeches, on this question
especially. The speeches are certainly re-.

PAYING Orr IN Yesterday the
employees of the Government were paid their
months wnges ami salaries 10 half dollars -
This is the first time, we apprehend, when
such thing has been done. The result was,
that the brokers Immediately put on con-
siderable rate Of premium when called on to
exchange gold for silver. The effect of thus
paying off the public employees must be
greatly to increase The quantity Of specie cir
culating in business here, for silver to-day on

the currency Of the banks of the District Of

PuFrIno JUDICIAL OrrrcERs.-We regret
to see the press Of East Tennessee falling
into a habit of apufRns" the Honorable
Judges OF our Courts. We presume II grows
out of the prove,bial disposition of editors
to be complimentary, but the practice Is nau-
seatingly ridiculous, and must appear 80 to
the complimented parties. 1t is legitimate to
notice a big OK or mammoth Jack; to nc.
knowledge the receipt Of large vegetables

extravagant terms, the wonderful efficacy Of
patent Destrum, and to write glowing Gu.
logy on the blood and performances of sta
be-hovse-all these are legitimate, ard pro.
per subjects for the pen of journalists who
have q talent and taste for that branch of
the versatile vocation. But for the press in
each Circuit, or Division, to announce, term

fully submit that this is crowding the bust
ness little too close into the neighborhood
Of the ludicrous, and is below the quintes-
sence of double distilled nonsense. There
are occasions and emergencies when It is right
and proper for the press 10 speak in com.
mandatory, and even grateful terms Of the
men to whom is contided the high and sacred
duty of administering the laws. But there
is wide difference between that and the
practice we are speaking of. If the latter
is continued, niter while the "puf" will be
expected and looked for, and if by accident,
or some other cause, il should fail to appear
ut the nccustomt d time, the outside public
will begin to think there is something wrong
and that "His Honor" is falling below the
estimate previously fixed by the grensy ech q
of popular caprice. The Judges Of ouI
Courts nre all heightened gentlemen, and we
are certain they have no taste for being "puff

"BAxKs AND BANKING" ---Somebody at
Nashville has sent US pamphlet COPY Of an
address on Banks and Banking: delivered
BY w. N. BrLso. Esq, at the State Capitol,
Nashville, Tennessee, November l6, 1857"
We have not had time to peruse the docu-
ment but take for granted that it is, at least,
equal to any of the many articles which the
great financial minds Of the State have sent
forth since the present monetary revulsion
set in. It has always appeared ridiculously
Inconsistent TO our view, TO see men who
have never exhibited any large capacity for
managing their own affairs successfully, set
ting themselves up as instructors in the diff
cult and embarrassing employment of teach
ing the public how TO conduct theirs. OF
course, Mr.. Bilbo does not fall within this
category. At the first leisure we can CON-
mand, we will do ourselves the pleasure Of
psrusing his production on the fruitful theme
Of Banks and Ba9kiug;"-embracing the
present occasion 10 acknowledge our obliga-
lions to the gentleman to whom we are in
dehted for a copy.
