JUDGE HUGHES.

On yesterday the President sent
TO the Senate the nomination OF
Col. Hughes AS the successor Of
Judge Underwood. At the same
time nc sent in the nomination OF
EX1Gcv. Bard for the Atlanta
Post office. This speaks louder
than words that participation in
the Confederate movement is no
bar TO federal patronage. Tic APP
Flicant is only required to be loyal
10 thu Republican party.
OF the nomination Ct Col. Hughes
We haven word ofadvcr5e criticism
Among those whose politics and
services would be likely to place
them in the field e selection we
know of none whom we would eX-
pect TO bc more favorably inclined
10 those who are practically inclli-
gibilc TO federal office. We do not
believe he will be either vindictivc
or willfully unjust ID the Conser-
vatiycs of Virginia. Nor do re
fear that his past championship of
the coiOrcd man will cause him to
forget that he is white one. His
past labors have not been such
that we should regard him at pres
cnt supremacy fitted for the dis
charge of eminent judicial functions
hut such are his abilities and such
his education flat we do not fear
fhal he will, by labor aid research
soon acquire the capacities which
viii make him equal to the position
Ia his recent sphere of Dist. At
Inrncy We have not noted any cri
,.cucc of the spirit which the Lynch
hlrg NRGINIAN attributes to him,
and we arc by TO means sure
that hS could have filled it and
have done less than he did.
We shall be disappointed if
Judge Hughes docs not render sat-
i~fartion to the PEOPLE WHO now
rc,m t, fear him in his new position.
II hort we predict that he will
avoid the ophidian trail which I'M
dcru Il left on the federal bench
ct Virginia and that he will
make a GOOD and acceptable Judge

the business, that producers cannot be made
to see that the demand for the best, the very
best, has never yet been half supplied. and
that the demand comes from such source
that it matters but little what price is put
upon it, so that it does not SAVIOR OF sheer
extortion. With an average price OF about
twenty FIVE cents pound lor q good, staple
article, many diaries have this year brought
from spring to fall, right through the worst
summer weather, forty cents pound; some
others have sold at sixty cents, some few at
seventy five to eighty cents, and others tor
still more But what shall We say of those
which have brought only ten cents, and up
to twenty-fiv cents? Any person who has
kept the run of any of the large markets
does not need to BIZ told that this division is
| by no means meager in quality.
We would not be understood to say that
there is more poor butter produced at the
present time than heretofore, but that the
I'M pro 7ements in the manner of manufacture
do not keep pace with the demand for bet
ter quality than has heretofore answered the
requIremen of consumers.
one great fact that producers overlook is,
that the standard of excellence among con-
sumers is not stationary. No soonerls their
standard of to-day reached by the intelligent
ard painstaking producer, than they are
prepared to ask for something still better,
and, moreover, they are willing to meet the
producer half way, and pay him for it. 1t
is most consummate folly for the producer
to undertake to dictate or control the public
taste. Call it fancy, or fastidiousness, or
folly, or what you may or will, it Is Infinite
ly letter to cater to it, than to attempt to
establish any other standard, and bring the
public to accept it-Correspondent Lice
