Very Accommodating,

it is good thing to have an accommo
dating spirit at the head ola party: vc-
~ good thing. 1t saves a great deal of
trouble, and tends to promote harmony
and good feeling. The Democratic party
is just now so blessed, and rejoices in the
possession of our friend the Squire as just
such spirit. It will be remembered
that, for the last two or three years, the
Democratic Hen has been endeavoring
90 hatch chick out of the regular nomi-
sation egg, but that owing to super
abundance of modesty, or because of the
baroness of the egg she has thus far
failed. This failure has been source of
Texation to the antediluvian members of
the party, the Squire among the rest, and
has given cause to many a Responding
nod, and many melancholy consultation.
But, ike yeast in the dough trough, the
Squires wit has at last began to work,
an& his accommodating spirit has set a
Sout to remedy the evil, and the result
has been a determination that il the
mountain will not come to Mahomet, Ma
homet will 60 to the mountain. And it
Is good thing for the party too, this de-
termination of the Sguire's, as it will
save time and money, as well as hard
feeling if acquiessed in. The party has
only to resolve to abolish Conventions
and it will soon see how happily it will
work. The Squire will but have to 90 to
"Parsaadtng" men to accept the Offices
and the work will be accomplished We
don't appreheud that he will find much
trouble in getting Candidates, though he
may have some trouble in electing them
all but that can be left to their own look
cut. We are glad to see that com
mencement has been made. The Sauire
has already persuaded Jerome s. Williams
Of Hamilton township to accept the Office
of County Auditor; and very good per-
suasion it is two, for Mr.. w. is an excel.
lent accountant, and will make faithful
officer If the Squire only succeeds as
we'll in pursuading equally good men to
accept the Commissionership, the assem-
blyship aod the membership of Congress,
We shall be satisfied Go on with your
persuasioDs Squire.

The n-Thirties---What are they 2

We trust that a large portion of oul
readers have pondered the Appeal of Mr.
Fessenden, our new Secretary of the
Treasury. The purport of it is that the
People of the United States, acting as
body through their agent the Government
wish individuals to lend them two hund
red millions of dollars for three years, a,
seven and thrce-tenths per cent. annual
interest, payable every six months. For
this they offer Treasury Notcs-that is,
in reality, notes drawn and endorsed by
every man in the country. The loan is
wanted for a great national purpose, to eff.
feet which every man, unless he be a
traitor at heart if not in act, is solemnly
pledged.
The Appeal is addressed not merely to
few great capitalists, but also to the
many whose aggregate means constitute
the mass of the wealth of the land. The
notes upon which this loan is asked are
from $50 upward. Every man who has
fifty dollars can take part in this loan.-
Apart from patriotism and the duty which
all owe to their country, no investment is
so desirable as this.
1t is secure. Every dollar of every
mans property is pledged for the punctu-
al payment Of interest, and of the debt
when due. The security is increasing
in value. For some years before the
war We were earning 1000 millions a
year more than We spent. During
the three years of the war, owing to the
hlgh prices and constant demand for labor,
we have earned more than ever before =
No man who could or would work has
been idle; and, except for the war, we
have spent less than before. The total

Stamps on Receipts.

BY the new revenue law, all receipts
are required to be furnished with a two
cent revenue stamp. The provision has
as to the proper person to affix the stamp.
Especially has this been considered in
large corporations where extensive trans
actions of business require the use of
great numbers of stamps. The following
correspondence in reference to this sub
ject is interesting to the business commu-
nifty. The treasurer of the Reading
Railroad, NJ. S. Bradford, wrote to Com
missioner Lewis at Washington, as fol-
lows:
Philadelphia and Reading r. r. Co., Of
fee 227 S. Fourth Philadelphia,
August 9, l864-Joseph j. Lewis, Esq,
U. S. Commissioner Internal Revenue,
Washington, ID. C.-Sir: Please state
which party must pay for the U. S.
stamp?
The one who receives the money, be-
ing the maker Of the receipt, or the par
ty paying the money? Yours respectful
ly,
S. BRADFORD, Treasurer.
To this Mr.. Lewis replied:
Treasury Department, Office of Inter-
nal Revenue, Washington, August Is,
lS64.-Sir: Yours of the 9th instant is
received. The question as to who shall
pay the duty required ON receipts on any
sums Of money exceeding $40, is depend
ent on the circumstances attending the
case.
Ordinarily at law no person is bound
to give receipt for money paid. The
receipt is an instrument of evidence USE
full only to the person to whom it is Civ
en-. Ii he needs receipt it is necessary
for him to furnish the stamp, or to stamp
the receipt, if required, before it is
signed. The person who receives the
money is not obliged to give a receipt
unless the other party furnishes the prop
er stamp.
If person gives receipt without re-
quirlng that the party to whom it is Civ
EN- shall furnish the stamp, the maker of
the receipt must himself stamp the paper
before he delivers it. IF he fails to
stamp it before he delivers it, he is liable
to the penalty provided by law for the
omission, but the other party may stamp
it immediately upon its being received.
Very respectfully.

About seven O'Clock, . we)l-dreaeed man,

the teller, Ml. Henry f. Prouty, and the
cashier, Nr. N. r. Ridder, the former Of
whom had counted and laid upon his desk,
| $4,000. The intruder coolly walking up to
the glass guard or partition between him
and the desk, struck it heavy blow with
his cane and instantly seized the entire pile
of notes with both hands, fed precipitately
out Of the door, and westward along Wash
ington street. Mr. Prouty, with admirable
presence Of mind, immediately leaped over
the counter and gave chase, at the same
time giving the alarm. At the corner some
person told him that the thief had gone into
the Methodist Church Block. Rightfully
suspecting that the fugitive would leave the
block by the Clark street entrance, Mr..
Prouty hurried to it, just in time to meet
the thief with open arms. By this time
quite a number Of persons had gathered
around, and, finding himself stalled, the
guilty man at once surrendered. Officer
Strebel, who was present, then took him in
charge, and conveyed him to the Central
Police Station for safe keeping There he
gave his name as Miles c. Gardner, and con-
fessed himself professional thief. Upon
searching him it was asccrtained that he
had in his possession $4,000 Of the money,
and after scar h the other $4,000 were
found lying on the sidewalk where the ar
rest had been made Hundreds Of persons
had walked over it without seeing it.
