PosTAsE STAMP CURRENCY The act Of Con-

carried into effect Ia New York and elsewhere In
advance OF the time (August 1st) designated.
They are generally put up In amounts Of twenty.
I've cent?, In little envelopes. In this city we
hear OF some instances Of their use already. Yes
terday a gentleman passed up two three-ceni
stamps to an omnibus driver In payment Of his
fare. The driver, not posted on the new cur.
rency, called back-'See yere, sir! amt you mis-
taken! The post ONCE Is mp Seventh street. u
We hear some controversy a. TO how far the
stamps are made legal currency by the law. II
leads:
"Thzt On and AFTER the first Of August, all post.
age and other United states stamps shall be re-
ceived for all dues Of less than Ave dollars, and
which may be received In exchange for United
states notes -
It's commended that between the United States
and individuals the stamps are legal currency
FOR dues Iess than e5, but In the absence Of la W
making them ''a legal tender" the same an gold
and silver, they can with propriety be refused.
The public will however, we take il, be too glad
TO avail Itself OF such currency for change 70
make any bones about the legal tender question.
