1MpoHTANr DECISION MIR. Lewis, the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, in reply
to a letter OF inquiry, says that "reply to 2
letter of Inquiry, says that a 'receipt given
for note, taken in settlement of an account
is exempt from stamp duty, it not being
within the meaning OF The statute, receipt
for the payment of Nancy, the delivery of
property, nor the payment of any debt due.
a note, check, draft or order is not money,
but merely the representative of money, and
therefore IA receipt for such an instrument is
not a receipt sui jet to stamp duty" This
is an important decision and our merchants

The Historian. When some future Ban
croft shall write the history Of these times,
he will feel the blush of shame red,len his
cheeks as he recalls The bloody scenes of our
civil war, and the horrible crimes Immediate
ly following its termination. The bold and
healtlrss assassination Of President Lincoln
will cause a shulder at the fealfu crime aud
n tear for the murdered President. But the
Illegal trial and brutal execution of Mrs. Sur

shame and Indignation. There will be this
difference in the two great crimes. Booth S

whose only desire was to do some,hing-no

Your obedient servant,

Our reasons for discredilng the story of
J,Hrrson Davis attempt to escape in disguise
are these: first. the absence of any evidence
of its truth; second, its i,,conoruity with na'
Wis personal character; thild, and chiefly,
the fact that Colonel l'ritchard, whose name,
associated with the story has given it all the
credit it ever had with any one, has been
making speeches frequently since his arrival
North, in no one of which has he in the most
distant manner alluded to the disguise. On
the contrary in private, as we are lntolmed
ON the best possible authority, he speaks.oi
the story, hul AS distinctly says lie was Not
present, and did not see the reported occur
rtnce or any part of it. "ll was reported to
him." and, as he always adds, "sworn to at
Washington"
besides this disclaimer OF actual lnowh
edge by Col. Prtcharl, we are inforiped aud
believe, that the captain Of the gunbnat
which !,rough, hun to fortress Monroe re-
ports Col lrilchard AS having told INN rel
pea'ealy that there was not a word of trui h
IN the story, but some people thought it nec'
essary to keep it up. Mr.. DAVIS was hut
partly dressed when the party rushed in -
lie sui irendefed promptly aud with dignity
say ing that he was unalmed When ahou,
to be removed, Mrs Davis threw or handed
him the waterproof which he wore till pu
on the gnn'boat.
The story SO discrelitaDle to our soldiers
who were represented in this same current
narrative # the affair as having bpIlied and
abused Mr.. Davis, is equally false. They
took no such advantage Of their power; Lu',
on the contrary, simply made it impossible
for him to escape, and then treated him as
brave soldiers would and should treat fall
len foe.
This, we believe to be the truth Of the
matter, and certainly do not consider the
fact. that Secretary Stanton has sent Mrs
Davis aqua $cutum TO the Chicago fair proof
that Mr. Davis attempted to escape in dis
ouise any more than we should consider
il proof if he had sent Mr.. Davis boots, or
Mrs. Davis Bonnet to the Paris exhibition.

of Wisconsin has decided that The law of
Congress requiring stamps to legal processes,
in The beginning or other stages of a sut, is
UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and therefore void, and the
stamps on legal papers not necessary. The
ground of the decision is that the imposition
of tax upon any proceedings in State

to regulate proceedings in lis own Courl;
that If Congress can tax these proceedings
at all, it can lay a tax that will practically
amount 10. a prohibition, and thus legisate
