The Hon. Thomas Swami, Mayor Of
Baltimore when that city enjoyed the
reputation Of being the worst governed
in the Union, was inaugurated on
Thursday, the 18th instant, as Cover
nor of Maryland. 1t was doubtless a
great day of rejoicing for some of the
Governors quondam friends, as he now
controls the flesh pots Of the State
yet we must candidly confess they con-
tain but little at this time; but he can
dispensea few official blessings in the
way Of appointments, and we trust the
Governor will not be so unfaithful to
the trust that friendship imposes, or SO
ungratcful rs to neglect the near and
dear friends with whom he was on
terms Of such close intimacy in 1886.
We scarcely think it likely that the
Governor viii be unmindiul of past as
sociations or early friends, if we are to
Judge from the tone of the Veiy ereet-
lent message he has just addressed to
the Legislature, in which he pays
such pretty compliment, and no
doubt deserved tribute, to the chosen
little band of followers that placed him
in his present position, which is but a
resting place on the highway to the
United States Senate. lie says;
i'Thcy are the men to whom you are
indebted for the safety Of your State
and the property which you now enjoy,

votion to the Union Maryland would
have been handed over to indiserini-

made it political question, as usual, and

stamp Duties

As the Internal Revenue Law in regard to
stamp duties is not generally understood, and
much inconvenience and actual loss to par
ties result therefrom, We publish below a
carefully prepared statement of the law, in
regard to every day transactions. This state
ment may be relied upon as correct, having
been prepared for the Johnstown Tribune by
R. H. Canaan, Esq, clerk to the Collector of
Internal Revenue for that District, Cut it
out for preservation.
AGREEMENT or contract, for each sheet of
paper on which the same is written, requires
FIVE cent stamp.
BANK CHECK, without regard to the amount,
two cents. An order drawn on any other per-
son or persons, company or corporation, for
any sum over SO, requires 2 cent stamp.
BoNDs of Constables, Supervisors, or any
other public officers, require 81 stamp, and
bonds indemnifying any sum of money re-
quire a SO cent stamp for every thousand doll
lars or fractional part thereof,
PRoMIssoRY NOTES, due bills, &C., require a
5 cent stamp when the amount is not over
$10e. If between 500 and 5000, a 10 cent
stamp, and an increase of cents for every
lS100 or fractional part of the same. No diff
ference how small the amount of the note, it
trequires cent stamp, Under the present
| law, the amount of the stamp is regulated by
the amount of the note, and not by the time
| of which it is given.
DEEDs.-Where the consideration is less
than $500, a so cent stamp is required; when
over $500 and not over $1,000, a 81 stamp,and
an additional so cent stamp for every $500 ol
fractional part thereof
| 4 LEASE, or agreement to rent property, re-
quiree SO cent stamp if the rent does moi
exceed $500 per year. When the rent ex
Iceeds $500, a so cent stamp is required fol
each additional $500 or fractional part thereo
Leases for farms on the shares, and leases fol
coal and oil lands must be stamped according
to the estimated yearly rental. All such leases
should be presented to the collector of thu
district, who is acthorized to estimate tn,
rental and afG1 the appropriate stamp.
MORTGAGES require the same stamp al
deeds.
RECEIPTS for any sum over $40 require a
cent stamp, except receipts in satisfaction 0
any mortgage, judgment or decree of an.
Icourt. The same stamp is required on a re
Iceipt for the delivery of any property.
PowEa OF ATTORNEY to receive or collec
rents, requires rs cent stamp. To sell 0
Iconvey, or rent, or lease real estate, 5
stamp; for any other purpose, so cents.
i CERTIFICATES AND AFFIDAvITs require a
cent stamp. Justices of the Peace shoul
bear in mind that is their duty to affx an
cancel the stamp on all afidavits made befor
them, except when taken in suits or legs
proceedings.
POSTAGE STAMPS cannot be used.
1t is the duty. of the maker of the instrr
ment to afix and cancel the stamp. A failul
to do so subjects him to q heavy penalty.
When two or more persons join in the ex'
cution of an instrument, any one of them ca
afix and cancel the stamp.
