used refined borax as washing powder, in
stead Of soda, in the proportion Of one large
handful Of powder to about ten gallons OF
boiling water. They save in soap nearly
one-haf. All the large washing establish.
menls adopt the same mode. For laces,
cambrics, ETC., an extra quantity of the
powder is used /; for crinolines, requiring
to be made stiff, strong solution is neces-
sary, Borax being a nuetral salt does not
in the slightest degree injure the texture Of

water, and therefore it should be kept on
every toilet table To the taste it is rather
sweet it is used for cleaning the hair, is
an excellent dentiirice, and in hot countries
it is used, in combination with tartarc acid
and bi-carbonate Of soda, as a cooling bev-
erage. Good tea cannot be made with
hard watc'. All water may be made soft
by adding teaspoonful of borax powder
to an oriinary sized kettle of water, in
which it should boil. The saving in the
quantity of tea used will be at least one

A ETONsTROTS ZEE.

Some time ago, John Lellyett, Chairman
Of the Executive Committee of the Middle
Division of the Conservative State Central
Committee of Tennessee lis that your title,
Mr.. L.?), published a sort Of manifesto, in
which he stated, and seemed to prove, that
VIM. H. Wisener, a lawyer of Bedford
county in Tennessee, had drawn from the
State Treasury the enormous sum of $500
for fees as counsel for the State in two cases
brought before the Supreme Court Zone the
Bank case, the otherl to test the constitu-
tIonality of the State franchise law. Mr..
Lellyett further states that in one of these
cases that of the Bank Mr.. w. did not
appear at all, L. the case being conducted
throughout by two other lawyers-Messrs.
East and Harrison, the former Of whom re-
ceived $500, and the latter $3.50, for their
services. In the second case Mr.. Wisener
handed into the court a written brief.
We have looked in vain for denial or
explanation of this matter which might be
satisfactory TO our readers. The disloyal
press has copied the statement widely, and
used il a. an argument 90 prejudice the
public mind against the loyal State gov
eminent Of Tennessee. Generally the
finances Of that State have been admins
tered by Gov. Brownlow, judiciously, eco
nomically and with care; but if Mr.. Wise
ner has plundered the treasury of the
struggling aud impoverished State in the
manner and 10 She extent Represented by
Mr.. Lellyett, Ire has covered himself with
disgrace which be will find il difficult TO
shake of; has been meanly and ayari-
ciOusly grasping and unpatriOuc and
should have had his claim secuted by the
honest State authorities Of Tennessee as
monstrous and preposierous swindle.-CiR-
c1lR0ti Gazette, JUiy Is.
You may wait till doom's day for a
denial Of this charge, or any other e1-
PLANTATION of it than it is literally true.
But why do you denounce Wisener
alone? The Governor endorses the
" monstrous and preposterons swindle %
upon the treasury Brownlow endorsed
Wiseners claim and the Treasurer had
no discretion in the matter, and had to
pay il Brownlow is responsible for all
lowing this "swindle' to be perpetrated,
and if Wisener deserves the denuncia-
ton heaped upon him by the Gazette,
Brownlow should not escape without just
censure

TTEEYETO.

Concerning the forthcoming veto of the
reconstruction bill passed by Congress a
few days ago, the National Intelligence
says:
"The veto message, az we have strong
ground for believing, will be no repetition
and no mere formality. There are ques-
tons 80 vital and profound that they who
are responsible for speech must not even
name them, until circumstances cast them
up into palpable issues, such as demand
and compel recognition, solution, and ae-
ton. The time has come when the logical
impossibility of State being both in and
out of the Union-of being both State
and no State-and being both within and
without the supreme Magistracy of the
President of the United States, must be
exposed. If that does not clear off the
fog, it is our opinion that the practical
operation of things will afford the redilctio
ad d5 swrdum that must speedily disclose
10 the world who are and who are not in
favor of their country"

reported back a bill TO secure equal rights
in the District of Columbia, and that il

period Of the French revolution, received

WAS MRS. sURRATT INNOCENT.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Express writes as follows:
After her counsel had concluded his
argument in Mrs. Surratt's behalf, the
Judge Advocate General (Mr. Holt ap
preached him and said Although you
and / may differ as 10 Mrs. Surratfs ihno-
cence, / wish TO say that your effort has
made decided impression upon thecourt'
When It came 10 make up its findings, six
Of the members-Generals Hunter, Ekin,
Kautz, Foster, Tompiins and Clendenin-
were opposed to the death sentence The
Assistant Judge Advocate, Hon. John A.
Bingham, argued the case in the absence
Of her counsel, and, to use Gen. Hancock's
own expression, There was plenty of dis
cussion on the subject Books and papers
and authorities were sent for, and finally
the court passed the sentence. But before
leaving the table around which they were
seated, paper asking the communication of
the sentence was drawn up and signed by
the Generals named. The authority for
Siis statement is most reliable"
1t has come out during the trial Of
John H. Surratt, that the paper asking
the communication Of Mrs. Surratts sem
tence was in the writing of Hon.
John A. Bingham, but the National In
telHgeRcer states that the President never
saw or heard of it until it came to his
knowledge a few days since through the
newspapers The question now is, who
withheld this paper from the President ?
1t will be remembered that the late Pres
ton King, Of New York, was very prom
inent character about the White House
at that time The. morning of the day
before or the morning of the day of the
execution Of Mrs Surratt, her daughter
called at the White House to intercede
with the President for a postponement Of
the execution of her mother, but she was
denied an interview with the President
After Preston King committed suicide
by drowning himself, it was stated by a
New York paper he had prevented Miss
Surratt from seeing the President, and
that having become convinced of the in
noceDce of Mrs Surratt the matter so
preyed upon him that he sought relief
from the twitchings of conscience in
death Did be also withhold this paper
from the PRESIDENT If not who did?

The Cincinnati Gazette, which seems
to have on It's staff Tennessee editor,
equal to anything that malice and mem
dacity may suggest, INDUCES in a:.diatrioe
against the Conservative circular issued
few weeks since, in which the COnser-
vatives we're urged to induce the cOlored
voters TO abandon the loyal leagues and
affiliate with those with whom they are
identified in business pursuits 1t pro-
nounces it an incendiary document, and
traces the recent bloody work at Frank
lin 10 the influence Of that paper 1t
says it breathes a spirit of prescription
and persecution which will necessarily
lead to outrages. The whole article reads
like the work of well-trained Brown
lowite
The language of the address in ques-
ton was calm and temperate. 1t did
suggest to Conservatives to withdraw
their countenance and support from men,
both white and black, who were labOring
to enslave and degrade them politically
and for one we say, if that be proscrip-
ton and persecution, then make the most
of it. We but speak the sentiment Of the
people of Tennessee, when we inform the
G0zette and its colaborers here, that they
will not lick the hands that are lifted to
smite them They have endured oppres-
sion and borne every species Of outrage
that were ever visited upon people, pa
tiently. They have made only peaceful
resistance, except when the first law
of nature-self> preserEation-required
other means The action proposed by
the committee, which has so excited the
ire of the Gazette, is of that character.
1t is self-protection against a wanton,
cruel and tyrannical prescription. The
people Of this State will not, and should
not recognize in social life or uphold in
business relations, any man of any color
who votes to continue them DISTINGUISHED,
and subject to taxation without repre-
sentation. To refuse to do so, is a wise
and just application Of the lea tatioHis;
and in face Of the denunciation Of the
Cincinnati Gazette, and its coadjutors
here, we take this occasion to reiterate
the advice Of the address of the COM
