To make starch from potatoes, wash
your potatoes clean; then pare them.
Take large crater and CRATE them into a
tub of water. After 1t becomes settled,
drain the water off, putting fresh on
again, pouring and changing about three
times, when the starch will be ready to
dry. This is done by spreading it out on
paper or muslin, and it will be dry in a
very short time. 1t will compare favor
ably with the best silver gloss starch that

The White MANS Party.

GET UP Your WHITE MEMS CLUBS.
White supremacy is the question now
looming up. Niggerism has gone far
enough-too far in fact. 1t has cost us
millions of precious lives, the destruction of
nine thousand millions of dollars worth of
solid wealth, Frustrated the commerce of
the country, and demoralized the nation
to frightful degree. The tide is now
turning. The passage of the 18th Amend
ment seems at last TO have awakened the
country TO its danger Senator Bayard, of
Delaware, has made a speech at Smyrna,
in that State, upon that grand political
fraud The great national campaign has
opened; the white mans party is getting
its forces together to commence the holy
crusade against niger oligarchy and seal
lawag despotism. Only get the people
awake and the battle of the white mans
party is won. White supremacy in the
United States, now and forever"

The Knoxville Press and Herald
printed on Wednesday, thrilling
story about some men in Blount
county, who had threatened South
ern clergyman with some awful death,
because he was about to preach to
them. The story was telegraphed to a
Nashville paper that took much stock in
it., denouncing Blount county men as "a
set ofwhite-livered radicals that ought to be
hung,n or words to that effect. But the
next day the Knoxville Chronicle told
another story, and as it's authority was con-
servative, we presume the Press and Her.
aid, and its Nashville contemporary, will
be cautious about disputing its version.
There was no threat of wrath, but only a
shutting Of the doors of the church by the
church trustees. They concluded they
didn't want to hear the reverend gentle
man preach, and they didn't hear him.
This was the whole of the Radical out

The GGzctte win notice however, that
neither the Press and Herald nor the Nash
ellie Banner have had the manliness to
publish the real facts.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT

MAY 9th, 1870
GENTLEMEN Enclosed please find your APP
pointments as members of a Committee 70 re-
ceiye propositions for a site for the proposed
Court House andsPost Office building in your
city.
my arrangements to visit Knoxville as soon as
these proposals can be received, and rs time is
an object have to request that you will have
the advertisement inserted immediately; II
anv of the members of the committee are absent
from the citv. Won will please not await his re-
turn, but have the advertisement published at
once.
Do not send on the proposals received TO this
Department until after my visit. when the en-
tire matter can readily be arranged
Very Respectfully,
Supervising Architect.
MessrS. Jos. 4. Cooper, Geo. ". Ross and
James Rogers, Commissioners, &C., hnorrttte
Tennessee
From the advertisement it will appear
that the proposals will be received up
to II NJ. of Saturday the 2lst inst. at the
office of Geo. w. Ross, one of the Commits
sinners, over the 1st National Bank.
We are advised that the location of the
building will be determined as soon after
the 2lst as possible. The work on the bull
ding will be contracted for and commenced
as soon as satisfactory arrangements can be
made.
We have but one word to say t. our citi-
zens, and that is, that this spirit of liber-
atty and improvement on the part of the
government ought to be met by CORE
spending liberality on our part. There are
several vacant lots in the city suitable for
such n building, and we hope that through
the rivalry of property holders adjacent to
the different localities, the government
will have desirable location offered at rea-
sonable rates. We cannot afford to lose
this building by the eXtortionate demands
of property holders. 1t is of course right
that men should ask what their lots are
worth, and we know the government viii
be willing to give a reasonable price, but
we know it is very common whenever any
opportunity of this kind is offered for par
ties TO combine and demand eXorbitant
prices.
The building, arranged as it will be for
all the United States offices, will be OF
great benefit to the business houses ada
cent, and we hope this fact will provoke
some rivalry and prevent the location al
some inconvenient point.
Our North Knoxville friends are alive to
their interests and will offer evey induce
ment to secure the location there
If our citizens want this building on Gay
street, where it will prove an ornament tC
the city and convenient TO the bushes,
community and professional men inter
ested, they must be active and diligent
and If necessary raise fund which shall
go towards reducing the price of "a lot OF
that street TO a reasonable price.
Our people are indebted to Hon. Horac,
Maynard, our able representative, TO
this prompt action, and we believe he vii
have the influence to secure us buildin,
which will at once be an ornament to on
city and furnish labor and business to tn
workingmen and builders.

GOOD NEWS FOR KNOXVILLE.
A New Court House and Post Office.

Some days ago we stated that letters had
been received from Hon. Horace Maynard
stating that Mr.. A. b. Mullet, Supervising
Architect of the Treasury Department,
would soon visit this city for the purpose
of locating the new building to be erected
by the Government, for the use of the
United States Circuit and District Courts,
Collectors and Assessors offices, Post
Office, United States Marshal, Clerk and
other offices. Owing to pressing duties in
other sections of the country Mr.. Mullet
has thus far been unable to make us his
promised visit But from the following
letter, and from the advertisement appear
ing in another column, it will be seen
that our hope, long deferred is at last soon
to be realized

Mr.. Beecher created sensation by his
sermon Sunday last. His church was filled
TO more than the usual sucocation, it hav.
ing been rumored that he would take ~
new departure in eccentric theology. The
audience were not disappointed. Taking
Matthew xiii, 3Oth verse, as his text, he
proceeded to pull the plug out OF the bot
tom of the lake OF fire and birthstone. The
Bible no said, was full OF fiction; as exam
ple he mentioned the future life and the
New Jerusalem. Every man, he declared,
was his own beaven.maker. His remarks
were humorous in the extreme, and the
congregation were kept upon broad grin
until they drew the corners Of their mouth
for the benedicton.

One-half of the people Of this country
are engaged in agricultural pursuits, and at
no time in our history was the occupation OF
lilling the soil gaining more rapidly. New
territories, heretofore supposed to be as
worthless as the Desert Of Sahara, are com.
ing under cultivation, and are found not
only to be rich in agricultural resources,
but in many cases, more fertile than any
lands hitherto broken. The value of our
cereal crops (wheat, corn, oats, rye and
barley,) at tho present time, is estimated
at more than one thousand million dollars
per annum, while their future value il NAV
be safely said, is limited only by the cost
OF transporting them to market.
