The market has been exceedingly dull
during the past week, and there Is no
present promise of any improvement;
and prices also are &c lower than they
were last week, with a largely unprom-
ising outlook. At the close, there are a
considerable number OF hogs in the pens
unsold, and if further arrivals still add to
the numbers, an additional decline will

Higher Al mas In Journalism.

No one knows better than the editors and
proprietors Of respectable newspapers the in
jurlous effect upon journalism which the reck-
less and sensational editors have recently
wrought. There are certain class Of newspa-
pers which live by this style Of defamatory
writing They are utterly reckless in their
statements, have no regard for private charsct-
or, no yenerRtion for good and holy things, and
no respect for exalted virtues and pure lives
Whatever will produce.a sensation and sell pa
pers they are ready and anxious to publish
But the Journals of this character are few. As
q rule, the newspapers of to-day seek to be fair
and honest, are conacientiously conducted
by men Of high character and good
standing in society, whose mission
it is to fairly and honestly chronicle the
current news of the day, and to intelligently
comment thereon. Unfortunately for respecta-
BILE journalism, ,::the'public sympathizes with and
demands the reckless and sensational style.
Journals which make it business from day to
day to assail and traduce private character ; to
conspicuously parade, with exaggerated
head lines, sll the criminal acts Of
the depraved classes to gloat over
murders fand ssssssnations TO depict, in
seductive language, rapes, indecent assaults,
and outrsges Of all kinds, are the journals
which circulate with greatest freedom among
the masses. The public crave sensations, and
it is greatly to the credit of the very large num-
ber Of respectable journals that they preserve
their dignity and decency in the face OF the
temptation Of sure pecuniary rewards which
await them by adopting the other course. Min

Our Centennial: subscriptions ant

Juding from the list Of applicants which we
published last week, there will be fair exhibit
from Delaware at the Centennial. In that re-
spect, we shall probably do our share toward the
success of the great enterprise. In the matter
of subscriptions, however, we are still far be-
hind our quota, and the State Commissioners are
growing anxious concerning the practicability of
erecting the Delaware building in the Park. The
Legislatures appropriation of $4,000 has been
partly expended, and the balance, it appears,
will not be sufficient to erect the building. The
following appeal is issued by Mr.. Comegys, on
behalf OF the Stata Board
To THE PUBLIC THE newspapers tell us what
progress is mads by our sister States in the
erection in Paramount Park Of their State build
ings. As yet no steps have been taken towards
the erection Of ours, for want OF funds. Any
one Of the commissioners of this State would
gladly receive any contribution towards the
house. They earnestly hope that every body will
come forward and give something.
