In looking over the list of names Of men,
bers Of the Senate Of the United States
whose term of Office will expire or the 4th
Cf March next. We notice that Of Hon. J.
NJ Howard, OF Michigan. Mr.. Howard was
elected some three years since to til va
cancy, and has proved himself to be one OF
the most practical business members of the
body. The services Of Suchmen are greatly
needed by the country Just now, and We
take it for granted that the Legislature Of
Michigan appreciates this fact and will re-
elect Mr.. II.
The position Of the Government is now .
peculiar one. The indications are that we
are now coming out from the thrOes Of the
rebellion; but then there i before Is an
amount Of labor to be performed in the way
OF reconstruction that requires not only
great energy and industry on the part OF our
national legislators, but the exercise OF the
most sound and practical judgment. Mr..
Howard. il strikes Us, is one OF the sort of
men now needed in the Senate, and we dOub;
not he viii be again chosen 10 the position

WASHINGTON. Dee. l., 1861
SIR:-Your letter of October 9th. ls6A
concerning the stamp duty on mortgage,
given to secure an old note, &C, is received.
In reply have to say that the rate OF stamp
duty on mortgage Is not affected by the
nature OF the debt, or the age OF the note
or notes secured thereby. \ mortgage
made since the passage of the Excise law,
is subject to stamp duty, if it exceeds in
amount. one hundred dollars (Sl0O) aitho'
the note secured by il may not be subject
TO stamp duty by reason OF its having been
made prior to the passage Of the law
Where Marriage Certificates are made in
duplicate, each one Is subject TO stamp du-
"; and. if the person who performs the
ceremony, make a return 10 the County
Clerk, it, also. requires stamp, as a GER
titcate.
Yours Respectfully.

Contraction.

1t seems to US, looking at things in 9
plain common sense way, that contraction
is financial duty at this time. Expan
sion is the evil under which we suffer
1t cannot be remedied by Withdrawing
the government greenbacks, because the
void would be Immediately supplied by
bank paper. How, then, shall We ac,
complish the object.
First. BY universal retrenchmen. in
public and private. AS the spectators
have run up the prices of everything ruin
ously, let US dispense with every article
we can, and use as little as possible oI
what We must.
Second. By paying cash for what VIC
buy and avoiding the use Of credit in any
shape
Third. BY reducing business gcner.
ally to a cash basis, as matter of present
unavoidable necessity.
Fourth. BY Withdrawing capital from
al enterprises OF a recent or unestablished
character, before a crash comes, when it
will be impossible to do so. This may
occasion present sacrifice to some extent
but it had better be sustained now than
to wait until it may be much greater.
Fifth. BY selling out of fancy stocks
generally and putting the money in gov.
e7nment bonds.
Sixth. BY throwing into the market
lat once all the gold noarded Or held fol
investment. IF held much longer the
loss will be serious. Within year the
price Of gold cannot fail to sink enc hun.
dred per cent.
Seventh. BY doing no building what,
ever and U2hiug no improvements until
the cost Of labor and materials shall fall
The couatry can Go without new build
ings until this war is over.
Eighth. BY giving the governments
securities the preference over all their in.
vestments. They really are better, and
If noT enterprises have tempted US by
larger profits, the risk Of ultimate loss is
not to be lost sight of.
. What shall we gain by the8e2 We
shall get more men for the army and more
money for the treasury. We shall reduce
trade and finance to a healthy condition,
explode the corporate bubbles which dis.
tract everything, and improve the PROS.
poets Of all really sound and reliable con.
cerns.-Noytb Amertcua.
