A Coon SUBSTITUTE FOR PADST.-For the
benefit Of our readers, both in the city and
the country, We publish the following re-
eeipt for making a wash for fences and out
buildings, which is said to look almost as
well as paint We quote from the Chemical
Gazcte. Take clean water-tight barrel or
other suitable cask, and put into it & half
bushel Of lime. Slack il by pouring boiling
water over ii, and in sufficient quantity to
cover Eve inches deep, stirring it briskiy till
thoroughly Stacked. When Stacking Is
effected, dissolve in water, and add two
pounds sulphate Of zinc and one Of common
salt. These will cause the wash to harden
and prevent is cracking, which gives an
unseemly appearance TO the work If desi-
rable, beautiful cream color may be CON-
municAted to TIE above wash By adding
three pounds of yellow ochre, or pearl or
lead color by the addition Of lamp vine or
ivory black. For fawn color add four pounds

WE understand that move is on foot in
this city to invite henry WARD BEEcHER
to visit Memphis, to enlighten our people as
to their their duty in the existing po-
litical crisis. If Mr. BEEcHER comes
here of his own accord, or if at the invita-
ton of the Radical party, to address them,
we have no objection, and he will have ae-
corded to him that respectful hearing which
a decently behaved public speaker will
always meet in Memphis But we protest
against the humiliating AFFECTION into which
Memphis will sink whenever this Puritan
peddler of religion and politics is dignifed
with a solicitation from our people to come
here and tell them what to do. He has been
our lifelong, bitter, implaeable, relentless
enemy, and we dishonor ourselves whenever
we aspire to his favor or decorate him with
complimentary notice.-Memphis AuaJdnche.

MoRE HU,uLIATIoN.-W While Gen. c. A.
BATTLE was in Philadelphia attending the
late National Union Convention, being a
man jealous for Sabbath Schools, he went to
publishing house to which he was recon-
mended, and enquired if they could get up
a Sabbath School Library unexceptionable
in sentiment to the South. They replied /:
We have no such books, nor would we
publish such il they were offered to u.s." He
then went TO the American Baptist Pub
LEGATION Society" made similar inquiries,
and received in substance the same reply.
The art Of printing lisa very simple one
and il our people would only think 50, books
can be as easily printed here as at the
North. If our people persist in a practice
which argues that they are only fit to be de-
pendents upon the North they will eventu-
ally become 50.

AMONG the delegates to the Soldiers Con-
vention, at Pittsburg, was one FISHER, of
Kansas. He uncorked himself on Wednes-
day, and here is the result:
Capt. FISHER, of Kansas, wished in the
name of Kansas and West Virginia, to re-
spond to the sentiment of this Convention,
and unite in their greeting to the soldiers Of
the National Convention Of the Soldiers and
Sailors Of the National Union. He would
inform the Convention that JOHN BRowN's
soul was marching on. Gen. CUSTER had
been sent to the command of Kansas. If
JOHNSON should swing round the circle as
far as Kansas, they would promise to jay
hawk him."
To talk after this fashion is now called
loyalty"

A Bounty Claim Agent Defraudlng the

New YORK, Oct A Herald's New
Orleans special says A hugh swindle OF
the Government to the amount of about
half million of dollars has been discov-
cred by a United States Detective. The
party implicated is j. LowENTHAL, of 207
Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, who is
a claim agent there, and who left here yes
terday to avoid arrest. 1t appears; as claim
of getting from C. DTBBs, Notary Public, of
this city, blank sworn affidavits to certain
amounts of back pay and bounty. LowEN-
THAI filled them up by forging the names
of discharged soldiers, and by endorsing
them, got checks for the amount from pay.
master A. d. ROBINSON and others, of
Washington.
One of the detectives was present and saw
him forge several of these documents, and
warrant was issued yesterday by Judge AU-
CUISINE, but LowENTHAL had left for Wash
ington, carrying with him about twenty
checks of from one hundred to three hun
dred dollars. 1t is asserted that large
number Of paymasters and citizens are part
ners of LowENTHAL in the swindle, which
amounts to about half million of dollars.

THE New York Tribune is discussing the
forthcoming cotton crop, and, as usual, pre-
tends to know more about the subject than
the men who produce cotton, and live where
it is grown. 1t says the crop will not be less
than 1000, 900 bales, which it computes will
knew more about the negro, and what he
could be made to yield under the system it
proposed for him, than any body else. Its
system has been in operation for several
years, and the negro has been converted from
a producer into a consumer; consuming mill
lions upon millions Of the hard earned wealth
of white men, and consuming the peace and
tranquility of the country, in addition. If
the IiibHne's speculations about cotton prove
to be no nearer the truth than those about
its next friend" the negro, they will ruin
the man who relies on them.
The Tribune knows more about "Graham
bread" strong minded women, bald-headed
men in spectacIes with dyspeptic stomachs,
and the various systems of Communism
which have been tried and abandoned, than
it does about negroes and cotton, or any
other practical concern of life. Let the
cobbler keep TO his cobbling.

REGULATIONS FOR THE WEIGHIEG AND
MARKING OF CorroN-The Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, with the approval of
the Secretary OF the Treasury, has just issued
additional regulations concerning the weigh
ing and marking Of cotton, in which he
states that since the publication Of former
regulations on that subject it has been de-
termined to provide metallic tag to be
used by the Assessor, or under his oversight,
at the time cotton is first weighed, in place
of the tax paid tag heretofore used, and
also to appoint weighers of cotton in certain
localities. Consequently the aforesaid regu-
lations have been modified in several i'm
portant particulars, to which the attention
Of assessors and collectors is directed. The
appointment of weighers Of cotton will be
made under the authority conferred by sec
ton Of the act Of July 13, 1866, upon the
Secretary Of the Treasury, who will appoint,
on the recommendation of the assessors Of
the respective districts, suitable persons to
weigh and mark cotton, at those designated
places for weighing where the quantity Of
cotton and amount of labor may be SO great
that the assistant assessors located at such
places cannot readily and promptly perform
the work required Washington Republican.
