The Tennessee Sinking Fund.

TnH STATE OF TENNESSEE, [
EXECUTIVE DEPT, Dec. 16.
Gentlemen of the Senate and House Of
Representatives.:
The Governor, Secretary of State and
Comptroller, by your direction, have
held for safe keeping, six hundred and
eighteen thousand twohundred and hftv
dollars in United States bonds, known
rs our sinking funds, and treated as
sacred fund by you. / called your legis-
lation relating thereto. Last week. for
the first time in ms life, learned that
the Treasurer of the State had loaned
this fund to one of the Memphis banks
without consultation with the State
officials ut the Capitol, and even with
out their knowledge. The Treasurer de-
manded the fund from the Comptroller,
who held it for safe keeping in good
and sufficient fire building and claiming
il under law you enacted at the last
session, requiring the Treasurer to take
charge of this identical fund. Your law
is either exceedingly lame, or its provis-
ions working to the safe keeping of this
sacred fund have not been complied
with, and therefore invite your earliest
NINlldlli 0lltlillOii w thlo CuplNNt'
intend no reflection on the banks,
as all banks have right to borrow
and lend money in their legitimate OPP
tions, but | protest the course main-
tanned by the Treasurer, who it seems
loaned the funds SO long ago as the
5th of .Imne, 1865. During the last
forty eight hours / have conversed fully
with the Treasurer, and his reasons for
the transfer is that the fund was not
secure where it was. There were three
national banks in this city with which
it could have been divided, and at best
it is for you, gentlemen, who turned this
money over to the Treasurer, to look
after its safety, and l am alone prompt
ed by = high sense of duty i'll bringing
the subject before you to-day.
Respectfully, &c,
w. G.. BRowSLow.

EupIish Detectives.

Magistrates and judges look with
great suspicion, and deservedly, at the
sayings and doipgs of the officers of
Justice known rs detectives. In fact,
the modern detective is no other than
spy-vcry necessary, perhaps, for bring
ing wrong-doers to punishment, but
still spy, and it is necessary for the
well-being of society that the utmost
surveillance should be exercised with
regard to his conduct. At the Surrey
sessions recently barman named Brit
ton was charged with robbing his en-
ployer, and, to substantiate his crime,
the prosecutor called in the aid of Il
detective officer, one Sergeant Ham.
Money was Marked and it was traced
to the possession of the prisoner. 1t
came out, however, on cross-examin-
alton, that the detective had
keys which opened BrittOn's box,
and that, on two or three occas ions,
these keys had been lent to the prose-
cutor to open his servants box. In
this box the coins were discovered. In
presenting the case to the jury, the
chairman of tho sessions commented
with considerable severity on the con-
duct of the detective, and the jury ac-
quilted the prisoner, indorsing, at the
same time, all that the chairman had
said in rcprobation of the proceeding.
The charge of theft was substantial ed,
but the mode of doing so was objection
able. Some years ago, when the late
Mr.. Justice Cresswell was at the head
of the Divorce Court, he refused to al
low case to go to the jury because the
principal witness was a detective, who
had wormed his way, by false represen-
tations, into the intrieacies of the suit.

Much waste is experienced in the
boiling, &c, of meats. Unless watched
the cook will throw out the water with
out letting it cool to take off the fat, or
scrape the dripping pan into the swill
pail. The grease is useful in many
ways. 1t can be burned in lamps,
mixed with lard, or, when no pork has
been boiled with it,, made into candles.
When pork has been boiled alone, it
will do to fry cakes, if cleansed.
Again, bits of meat are thrown out
which would make hashed meats or
hash.
The flour is sifted in wasteful man
ncr, OF the bread pan lifted with the
dough sticking to it.
Pie-crust is left and laid by to sour,
instead of making tarts for tea.
Cold batter is thrown out, because
but little is left.
Cold puddings are considered good
for nothing, when oftentimes they can
be steamed for next day, or, as in
the case of rice, made over in other
forms.
AVegetables are thrown away that
would warm for breakfast nicely.
Dish cloths are thrown away when
mice can destroy them.
Soap is left in water to dissolve, or
more used than necessary.
If bath-brick, whiting, rotten-stone,
&c, are used. much is wasted. e.
The scrub brush is left in water, pals
scorched by the fire, tubs and barrels
left in the sun to dry and fall apart,
chamber pals allowed TO rust, tins
dried and iron ware rusted, nice knives
used for cooking in the kitchen, silver
spoons used to serape kettles, or forks
10 toast bread.
Rinsings of sweetmeats or skimmings
of syrup, which make good vinegar, are
thrown out.
Cream is allowed to mould and spoil,
mustard to dry in the pot, and vinegar
to corrode the castor.
The roasted coffee, pepper and spices
to stand open and lose their strength.
The molasscs jug loses the cork, and
the flies take possession.
Sweetmeats are open and forgotten.
Vinegar is drawn in basin and, al
lowed to stand, until both vinegar and
basin are spoiled. = 81

The District Negro Suffrage Bill
The Bill Relating 70 Removals and
Appointments. -1~' A'4-'-'
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-There seems
to be no doubt of the early passage of
the negro suffrage bill for this District.
The only question of dispute is over de-
tails as to limiting the bill to those who
can read and write their names; but the
bill will. probably pass giving full suf-
frsge to all, white and black.
The House bill relating to removals
and appointments was debated by
Messrs. Williams, Garfield, Finck, and
Rousseau and amended by Hale, who
reported a bill from the Retrenchment
committee, on the same subject.
