There but few inventions or discoveries
which produce a complete revolution in any de-
pariment of labor. To have supposed, a. year ago,
that the dirtiest garment could be washed clean,
in twenty or thirty minutes, by boilipg alone,
would have been regarded as an indication of in
sanity But it has been demonstrated beyond an y
doubt. that this process only cleuns the clothes,
but that garments hus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used Some people suggest
that clothes will get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such a surposirion has no
foundation in fact, and is contradicted by the ex-
perience of every lady who has adopted this mode
of washing.

WASHINGTON, March "a, 1871.


A Washington correspondent writes
that affairs in Congress yesterday put a
new phase upon matters. In some re.
spects Il has been tho most important day
OF the new session.


"Ffnt we had the San Domingo resolu.
ton Of Sumner in the Senate, on which
there was spicy, running debate in the
morning hour; then message Of the
President to the Senate; then a resolution
Of the House asking the Senate to consent
to adjourn Monday, leaving the Senate in
session; after that message from the
President, leading to a brief but sharp de.
bate in the House, followed by its reference
to select committee ornine; all Of which
puts the question Of adjournment into
next month, for It is now virtually agreed
that there shall be action in both houses,
and that there shall be unlimited debate
in either house, on the bill that may be
reported. Thus matters stand, and the
country may not tlOok for the adjournment
Of Congress for two or three weeks yet

PARIS AND VERsAILLEs.-The republic an

are evidently not satisfied with the course pur-
sued by the monarchist deputies, whom they
charge with not having kept their pledges, by

monarchy and for intervention in favor Of

THE COMING REVIEW IN THE CHAMP DE
MARs.-On Sunday next one hundred thou
sand French soldiers are to assemble in the
Champ de Mars, and to pass in review before
President Theirs and the other dgnitaries of
the present republican government. What is
the object of the review? To rejoice because
of victory? What victory? Is it not, rather,
that the sentiment Of the French army may
be found out? President Theirs desires to
know the wishes of France before he takes
any decided course. The voice Of the army
on Sunday next will co far to reveal the ma
tional sentiment, and it may finally determine
the policy of the Versailles government. The
first Napoleon consulted France through his
soldiers. So did the second Napoleon. In
having this grand review President Theirs
acts not unwisely.

JACKSON RETURNED.--Sherif jackson came
back last Wednesday evening, well and hearty.
His case was brought before Judge Sawyer last
week and, after argument by counsel was taken
under advisement by his Honor until Tuesday.
Mr. jackson states that Attorney General Hamil-
ton directed him to return and collect the tax as
before, pledging that the State will bear him
harmless in so doing. Hamilton also told Mr.
jackson that he intended to notify all Collectors
in mining counties to the same effect. Mr. Jack
son also says that his counsel and other eminent
lawyers, with whom he conversed, assured him
that the legality of the law would certainly be
upheld from the lowest Court to the highest.

four thousand unoccupied buildings in San Fran

CoLLECrIoN OF LcENsE.-A well written COM
munication concerning " Chinese License" will
be found in our columns to-day. 1t viii be read
with interest because of its classic diction, il
for no other reason, but besides this states the
question pretty much as our people view it.
That the collection of the tax is important to
tax PAYERS there is no doubt That public SEN
timen in this county avors its collection is also
true. Where the writer learns that John China
mans "earnings precede his body and bones"
to China, and that "seventy-fve percentum' of
the gold he takes out is sent home, we don't
know, we hardly believe that such percentage
is sent away. But this is not the important
pout. In relation to the amount of their in
come and property tax, the writer is correct.
AS we have stated before, the mining tax col
lected from Chinese and paid into the County
Treasury constitutes no inconsiderabe part of
the county revenue. Burdened as we are with
debt, it is absolutely necessary that every possi-
BILE means of adding to the revenue of the county
should be made available. We have travelled


the length and breadth of the settled portion of
this county and know what public sentiment is.


Never have we heard any one object 10 the col
lection of the tax because of its llegaity. The
traders in this county generally declare that the
Chinese custom is profitable to them, and for
this reason favor their working in the mines.
So far as we know-and our opportunities are
exce!lent-none have failed to get their pay be-
cause of the tax. Those we have heard argue
in favor of doing away with the license law, are
but few aud offer the following reasons which


we think are not conclusive all things consid-
cred. First that the Chinese would work for
less wages, and mine poorer diggings and the
indirect benefit resulting would more than make
good the loss sustained by the county from the
nonpayment of license. Second. 1t is urged
that the strife for the Office Of Tax Collector is
productive of corruption in elections, and the
administration of county affairs. Third. 1t is
contended that the county does not get the full
benefit Of the amount actually paid by Mongo-
dian miners. This has been said of every col
lection in this county from first to last. Let
ing this all go for what it is worth, it seems per-
fectly plain to US that our finances will not adj
nit of any decrease in our yearly receipts that
can be possibly avoided. A certain amount is
required for the necessary expenses of conduct
ing county affairs. Several thousand dollars a
year must be paid for interest on interest-bear-
ing scrip. When eur funds fall short of this re-
pudiation follows Taking this practical view
of the matter, we aCe clearly of the opinion that
the retention OF the Foreign Miners tax as it
stands upon the statute book and its thorough
collection tor the benefit of the county are
needed for the best interests of Trinity county.
