gogue talking so fippantly about the consti-
tuition as it is, ask him why every Democrat
in Congress voted to amend the constitution
by embodying in it new guarantees for sla-
very, and why his party are continually charg-
ing the responsibility of the war upon the
Republicans because they insisted upon re-
tanning the constitution as it is?

WASHINGTON, July %.

WASHINGTON, July %.
There is very general misapprehensior
with regard to the act authorizing payment in
stamps and to prohibit the circulation of less
denomination than one dollar, which was ap.
proved July 18th, last Under the provision
of the act the Secretary of the Treasury and
not the Postmaster General is directed to
furnish postage and other stamps to the As
sistant Treasurer and such designated deposit
tory as the United States may select, to be ex-
changed by them on application for u S.
notes from and after the 1st day Of August
next.
Such stamps shall be received in payment
of all dues to the United States less than S.,
and shall be received in exchange for its
notes when presented in sums not less than
S. to any Assistant Treasurer or designated
depository selected as aforesaid hence this
law does not make stamps legal tender nor
does it require postmasters to receive them
in exchange for Treasury notes.
1t is expected that the Secretary will fur
nish postage stamps to be used as circulating
medium under the law in such form that they
cannot be attached to letters or other mailable
matter. Such stamps will be exchanged by
postmasters for the regular postage stamps,
besides being redeemable by Treasury notes,
by Asst. Treasurer and such designated de-
positories as the Treasury may select No
postage stamps can be exchanged at post Of
fees or redeemed by the Treasury De-
partment unles furnished through the agen-
cies Of the Department, postage being needed
there at the present juncture of affairs.
