WASHINGTON.
The Louisiana Committee.


WASHINGTON, December % The
Louisiana Committee, in their address
to the people OF the United States, issued
tonight, express great satisfaction that
the people Of her sister States are rot
uncoacerned spectators OF the events
now trsnspiring within ner limits. and
OF which it is probable no parallel can
be fourd in the history of this or any
other country. As these events were
brought about by the agency Of the
officers, civil and military, OF the gen.
eral government, the citizens Of Louis
lana, not doubling that the action OF
the Executive-at least in reference TO
tbem-was the result of misspprehen-
sion of the facts, determined to adopt
prom pt measures for the correction OF
the errors. The Committee state that
on their arrival here they found 80
much apprehension existing in regard
to the origin and history Of this dts
turbance that they determined to pub
lish brief narrative Of the facts. Tney
then affirm that the parties engaged in
these proceedings disclsim any politi~
cal preference in the late contest in
Louisians, as TO Warmoth snd Kellogg.
The COmmissioner OF Internal Rev
enue
has instructed the directors that the
semi-annual returns Of their saving
banks that have no capital stock and
do no other business than receiving
deposits to be loaned for the sole benefit
of the depositors. The taxable average
deposits for the month Of July, 1872,
must be ascertained, under the provis-
ions OF the act OF June, 30, 1864, which
made all deposits OF $500 and over, lia-
hle for remaining five months, up TO
January |, 1873, are to be sscertained
under an act of June 80, 1872, which
exsmpts all deposits OF $1,000 and under.
The new law is construed not to exempt
$1,000 out OF the deposit OF the person
whose deposit exceeds that sum, but
simply to exempt the bank from taxa
ton.
Secretary Boutwell,
has had consultation with Commis-
sioner Dou lass in relation to the tax
imposed by a recent decision OF the
Commissioner on native wines. II is
decided to modify the decision in q
manner which, it is thought, will be
acceptable to manufacturers. A new
circular on the subject will he published
from the Internal Revenue Department
IN few days Immediate Steps will
be taken by the Treasury Department
TO put into operation new Internal
Revenue law abolishing the Office OF
Assessor and these officers will be dis
pensed with as fast ss their Official
work is transferred to Collectors and
their accounts adjusted

PATENT STEAM CooKER.-E1. Christ
man has the agency for one Of the
neatest cooking utensils ever invented
1t was patented on the 10th OF July,
1872, and is so arranged that six OF
eight kinds of food may be cooked al
once by steam generated by itself at the
time OF cooking and without mixing
the tlavors; and six or eight kinds oi
food may be cooked at one time, and
only occupy one griddle hole on the
stove. 1t can be used upon any COM
mon stove, range or furnace. and is
guaranteed to work satisfactorily. Each
apartment is separate and independent
OF the other, and consequently there is
no mixing of tlavors while cooking. 1t
is self,condenser, and condenses nine
tenths OF the steam used, and as q result
very little steam or scent from the iood
passes off into the room. 1t is neces-
sary to boil but three or four quarts Of
water to do the cooking for large fam.
lily, thereby saving a large expense in
the matter of fuel. No one need be ad.
vised OF the supreme excellence of food
cooked by steam over that cooked by
boiling; besides it is i'm possible to burn
the same while cooking, and it may be
kept hot for long time, il desired,
without injury. Pot-pies cooked in
this way are superior to any other
Cooked beef dumpllngs, puddings, etc,
may be cooked at the same time with
onions without mixing the favors. A
piece Of fresh beef, prepared to roast,
and steamed an hour and half, then
set in qlick oven fifteen minutes, will
be found superior. 1t is just the thing
to stew fruit for canning or other pur>
poses-in fact it will perfectly COOK any
thing you wish without soaking the
juice out. They are made OF different
sizes, suitable for families, hotels and
restaurants. Call at the Chrstman
House if you wish to purchase, or on
Henry Stamm, or Mrs. c. R Behler if
YOU wish to verify our statement that it
is the greatest invention of the age.
