Stamp Tax Act.

On and after the first day of July next, per-
sons purchasing either of the following described
documents, payable out Of the State, viz Bills
of exchange, drafts certificates of deposit, let
rers of credit, or other evidences of deposit
are required to see that the Stamp provided by
the State is affixed thereto, else they are made
criminally liable, and are debarred from insti-
tuting suit to recover any loss that might arise
from failure of party drawing such instrument
1t is an erroneous impression that is abroad that
all checks passing to and fro in the State, as
well as deeds, mortgages and other papers rep
resenting money or securities, are liable to this
tax or stamp fixture. The law as it was orig
inally introduced did contain these features, but
they were expunged before its final passage
and the tax affixed solely to those documents
which may be payable out of the limits of Cali
fornia, with exception of policies of insurance.
The tariff is graduated at an. average of one
fifth of one per cent, which will prove an item
of expense to merchants who remit largely by
each steamer, but trifling to those sending small
drafts. We suppose the proportion of drafts by
each steamer will average one-tenth for less than
one thousand dollars each; four-tenths between
one and FIVE thousand, and one-half above FIVE
thousand dollars.

THE NORTH CALIFoRNIAN.-This is the name
of a new daily paper, recently started at Oro-
vile. 1t is ably edited by Mr.. G. G. Lincoln
From it we copy the following items:
The papers from below contain but little news
of interest The San Francisco papers are in
dulging in various speculations about the COM
ing comet. Some treat the subject with con-
siderable apparent seriousness; others ridicule
the whole matter, and between them they have
succeeded in getting up little excitement, but
have arrived at no conclusions. If the engi-
neer of that great aerial locomotive could know
of the amount of gas expended concerning his
advent, he would probably run his " mashcen'
off the track rather than supply our planet
with further accession of that superHuous ar
ticle.
EDITORIAL SPLICE. The editor of the Old
Mountauaeer has recently married himself to
woman, and the last number of his paper goes
off into extacies about the great event. We
wish him all the good luck in the world, and
trust that he may never again be made entire
ly dependent upon his "own resources" for
happiness. Satisfactory.
