THE SHERMAN SCANDAL.

The investigation of the scandals
touching the expenditure of the Treasury
Contingent, was commenced today by
the Senate Committee on ApprOpria-
tiOns. AIr. r. j. Hinton; the editor of a
Sunday newspaper published in this
city, was called as a witness. He was
asked if he would furnish the commit
tee with the names of those upon whose
information he had made very serious
charges affecting the integrity of Secre-
tary Sherman. Mr.. Hinton said he
would furnish the names if the com
mittee gave him assurances that he
(HintOn) was not on trial, but Secretary
Sherman. The committee assured Mr..
Hinton they sought the truth. Mr.. Hin
ton said he would like to have certain
witnessed subpOenaed, including the
United States Treasurer Gilfilian, the
latter to be required to bring to the
committee room the testimony taken by
the committee which Investigated the
subject of expenditure of the COntin-
gent Fund, and which was in his Gus
tOdy under seal in the vaults of the
Treasury. Mr.. Hinton claimed that the
report sent to the Senate at Secretary
Sherman's request, was not based upon
the testimony which would be found to
be contained in this report, but was
whitewashing document prepared by
Secretary Window. Mr.. Gilfilian will
be summoned, and will be asked to turn
over to the committee the suppressed
testimony.

is done on a large scale in every lime kiln. If
freshly burned lime il tested with q str0nR

there is no oarbonic acid present there is only
lime. Freshly burn ed limestone gives quick.
line. If a lump Of this quiok-lime is put into q
dish of water, or has water poured upon IT.
the lump soon becomes hot, swells up and
fills into a fine white powder. The iwater
has united with the quick-lime asd has
changed it into shked lime or caustic lime.
Quick-lime exposed for . time to the air
takes up the water from the atmosphere and
slowly slakes and becomes air sl0ked lime.
1t has been seen that 10 the process Of
burning the limestone has given up its car
bonio acid, but it has not lost the power OF
again taking up carbonic acid and forming
with it a carbonate of lime. Ground lime
stone is inert or Inactive so far as its relation
to carbonio acid is concerned, amply because
it has enough in itself and ia satisfied. It is
not 80 with burned lime, quick or slaked
lime, for they take up carbonic acid aud
slowly change into carbonate Of lime. or, so
to speak, limestone.
Lime is an essential element Of plant food,
but IL Is 50 widely distributed and so uuiyer-
sally present 10 sufficient quantities, that as
such it is generally believed that any addition
of it is not called for. The action of LINE on
the soil, upon which its value depends, is its
power to aid in the decomposition of organic
matter, thus fitting it to be taken up as food
by the growing plants. The ability of lime
TO do this work depends upon its power or
atiOity for carbonic acid, removing it from
organic compounds, etc., and thus acting as
a decomposing agent. Limestone, being alrea-
dy a carbonate, has no affinity for carbonic acid,
and !. inactive in that respect. The value of
lime is most marked upon a soil rich Ia
vegetable matter. That same soil may con-
tain au abundance of limestone, in fact be

Lime, doubtless, has other good effects upon
soils. There is a relationship between it and
ammonia, and upon heavy clay soils it has

less adhesive aud more open and porous.

There has been q good deal said OF late
upon tho subject of ground limestone as a
fertilizer. In order to discuss this matter
one m ust first understand clearly the nature
of limestone, it's chemical composition, and
action whitewater and other substances. II
ia q very widely distributed mineral 10 its
various forms, pure and lmE ure. Lime
stone is a compound of caEbonic acid and
lime. The carbonic acid can be easily
liberated from its uBion with the lime by
the use of another acid which has a.strong-
or affinity for the lime. Thus, place o piece
OF limestone in a glass OF water and add
sulphuric or muriatic acid, and the carbon!e
acid is set free as a gus. which rising IN
bubbles to the surface of the water causes
an efervescence. If sulphutic acid has
been used, it replaces the carbonlc acid,
and instead of a,boDate of lime u sulphate
of lime (gypsum) is formed. This is what
takes place in the generator OF a soda
fountain. Finely ground marble, which
is one OF the purest forms OF limestone, is
put into the generstor aud sulphuric acid
added, after which the liberated carbonic
acid gas is taken up and held by the water
under pressure. Limestone is very slightly
soluble in water, it taking 1900 parts OF
water TO dissolve ons part OF limestone.

The Chinese in the United States.

The recent census has shown that the
numbers of Chinese throughout the States
are very much less than was commonly
believed to be the case. In 1877, when the
agitation against the Celestials was at ito
height on the Pacific coast, it was said that
there were 200, 900 of these immigrants In
Califo rnia alone, Of whom $4,000 lived in San
Francisco more than a quarter of the total
population of the ethyl, Even the better
informed and more moderate statisticians
estimated the number of Chinese ia thai
State at from 100, 900 to I75,O 0O. The
census has exploded all this exaggera,ion. the
whole number of Chinese in America being
only 105, III, of whom California possesses
rs, 1872. It is true that lilo numbers have
nearly doubled within the last ten years, but
even at that rate they are not of q nature to
cause alarm, and quite insufficient as a rsaso ON
for the crusade against them undertaken by
Mr.. Kearney and his followers. Taking q
few of the principal States, We find that the
numbers have increased as follows g.
