Stamped Paper.

The New York Herald puts forward the
following sensible suggestions $780,
The waste of trouble and saliva which is
at present involved in complying with the
Internal Revenue act, with regard to
stamps, is source of great annoyance to
the business public, and one which calls
for the establishment of q stamp Office,
such as exists in the capitals of each of the
kingdoms Of England, Ireland and Scot
land. Stamped paper is bought from
the stamp Offices there and kept for
sale by the law scriveners and licensed
dealers in stamps throughout the country.
Bankers, merchants and Others send blank
check books in large quantities to the
stamp offices to be stamped with press
mark and kept for use. The. process in
wolves mere indentation of the paper,
and dispenses with the use of ink and gum.
At the same time it obviates the risk of
stamps which are affixed coming off, which
in the case Of legal instruments is impor-
tant. BY the use of private marks also in
the stamp, it can be ascertained at any
time in what year the impression was made,
and in this way the forgery of important
documents have been detected Where
the stamp Office furnishes the paper, an ex-
ira charge is invariably made for the same,
but where the applicant for the stamps
sends his own paper the net tax only is
charged. We recommend the subject to
the attention Of the Secretary of the Treas
ury and the commission of three now sit
ting to inquire into the ways and means of
improving the revenue and simplifying tax
alton. There should be stamp Office in
the capital of each State, and by establish.
ing it at the headquarters of the Internal
Revenue Department it could be done with
little or no expense beyond that necessary
for purchasing stamp machines.

Not Sneech-Makers.

One of the most singular developments
Of the times is the appearance in American
public life of class OF men who cannot
make speeches. Thus we have Lieuten-
ant General who, when cornered by an ad-
miring crowd, will make two or three po-
lite bows, but will not let word out of his
mouth any more than he would Pemberton
out of Vicksburg, or Lee out of his lines
below Richmond Gen. Sherman, on SIM
liar occasions, attempts but the most mea-
gre replies, although he is ready and pun
gent enough with his pen. Gen. Thomas
returns thanks and that is all while the
gallant Sheridan simply says: !" Excuse me
BOYS you know 1 never make speeches"
Boston Journal. s.. es. Md, l....s n
The Journal is mistaken in supposing
that there is anything singular in the ap-
pearance in public life in this country of
men who are not noted as speakers. Our
Presidents have not been race of orators
by any means. Washington was no speak
er, nor was Jefferson, Jackson, Harrison,
or Taylor Those of our Presidents who
were public speakers were not particularly
eminent as such, while every one of our
really brilliant orators, Clay, Calhoun,
Webster, &c., failed in their presidential
aspirations. The Americans are talkd-
tive, demonstrative people, but somehow
they prefer for their rulers grave, reticent,
self-poised, silent men. Good takers are
sent to Congress, and are honored with
abundant applause but Q happy faculty
for saying very little is demanded of a
would be occupant of the White House,
Let politicians remember that in all prob
ability the man who is destined to occupy
the Presidents chair in 1869 is not the one
who makes the longest speeches but he
who acts the most discreetly, and makes
very little fuss about it. So, oil hail to-
the silent men for they shall be our rulers.

Who ARE ENTITLED TO VoTE IN VIRGINIA.
Thomas R. Bowen, Attorney General Of Virginia
gives it as his opinion that there two classes
of voters, and their votes should be received by
the Commissioners . ea,ea.fs s.

A Western Belle.

One of our Western exchanges tells us
of a young lady on Rock Prairie, seventeen
years of age, who has driven her fathers
reaping team thro ugh seven or eight sea-
sons, and who frequently takes load of
grain fifteen miles to market and sells it.
She plays the piano, sings divinely, dances
like fairy, can do the honors of the draw
ing-room with graceful dignity, can make a
loaf of bread or play Bridget" in mammas
kitchen with equal readiness. What do

The Feeling in Richmond.

We have read with a good deal of care,
the letters from the city of Richmond which
have been published in our exchanges, and
we are bound to say, that we see as yet very
little indication of Union feeling in that
city. The preachers refuse to pray for the
President of the United States The We
men hold aloof from us. The rebel soldiers
remaining in the place are guilty of much
insolence, and a general tone of offensive
bravado is prevalent There is way to
correct this style of feeling. IF the obdu-
rate rebels prefer that way, on their heads
be it. IF they reject profered kindness and
make vaunt OF their treason, they can be
taught that the Government which was
strong enough to overthrow their armies, is
strong enough to make private malice re-
strict itself within decent bounds. We
shall see.
