/ HOGGIsH AFFAIR.
Rather COmpIimented.

Some eeks since it will be remembered
that the extensive distillery of MIR. Alex
ander, at Columbia, was seized by the
United States Marshal for alleged Revenue
irregularities. After the seizure Dr.
Hogle, of this city, as special Deputy, was
sent down in charge. As part and par
eel of the assets of the seized distillery,
there were from 60 to IS fat hogs. Hogle
overseed the matter we'll enough until a
few weeks since, when the fence broke
down and the hogs got out. We are told
somewhere in the scripture that the evil
spirit went into the swine. These hogs
seemed to be some of that breed, They
rooted and wallowed around town pro-
miscuously. Finally the police of ColuIn-
bia arrested every hog and put them In the
pound. Mr.. Hogle went to the authori-
ties and finally succeeded ini having them
released, and driven back to the enclosure
at the distillery, Hogle was himself again
and things went on swlmmingly, until last
Tuesday night, when the fence again broke
down, and again the hogs went roofing
about Columbia. They were again i'm
pounded. Mr. Hogle again went to Sc
cure his unruly swine. 1t was no go.
The police wouldn't give them up. As an
authorized deputy Mr.. Hogle got out
writ and in the name of Uncle Sam and
Uncle Sans dignity, demanded the par
cines aforesaid. With relentless noncha-
lance the impounders told him to Ego to
h--n with his writ. Instead of going to
that hot country, however, Hogle come to
Nashville, and reported. He was referred
to the o. s. District Attorney. A writ
was issued, armed with which Mr.. H., &C
companied by Deputy Marshal, will re-
turn to Columbia this morning and arrest
the policemen and bring them to this city
for trial under charge of obstructing the
enforcement of the United States laws. In
the courts we presume the hoggish matter
will be settled. -.--.-

Another Night burglary.

The midnight depredators with the jim
my" and Sleeps foot are still at work in
the city. Late on Wednesday night the
store Of Messrs. Slime & Birmingham, on
the corner of. the Public Square and Cedar
street, was burglariously entered and rob-
bed of quite quantity of valuables. The
front door from Cedar street was pryed
open with 'jimmy" in a similar manner
to the way in which the door of the Messrs.
Treppard was opened a few nights ago.
The thieves entered the store and helped
themselves, seemingly in no haste about
the matter. They took near $50 in money
and a quantity Of cigars, sardines, and
other articles They made attempts to
break into the safe but did not succeed.
After they had helped themselves they
departed, leaving one of the gas burners
lighted. There Is no clue whatever to the
perpetrators Knowing that these depre-
dators are at work among us, we urgs that
every precaution be used against them,
and suggest that those who have not done
30, at once provide inside iron cross bars
a. their front doors.

perience in the cotton trade, and the many
commercial panics have witnessed, have
never seen such thing as now pales the
cheek of every individual at all connected
with the trade of the country. The most
prudent and the most cautious have become
involved; margins are swept off hour by
hour, and as the parties become more and
more unable to cover these advances or to
put up other margins, the produce is forced
on the MAJ ket at the most fearful sacrifices,
and any price accepted for cash. Yesterday
I saw broker sell strict middling upland
