A SCrRvY TRICK.-The Newbern IN.
c. Times quotes a part of q letter recently
written by Judge HUGHES, Of Indiana, to
prove that none but loyal men are cx-
pected t be present at the Philadelphia
Convention. AS We have published the
letter in full, u readers know that Judge
HuGHEs denounced the Convention or the
ground that although such was the inten-
ton of some Of the originators Of the
movement, the after developments had
proved that the Convention would not be
composed of loyal mel only. The Times
must be edited by a "snart Yankee"
Such tricks arc not common among south
ern men, nor considered very crcditable
TO those who practice them.

NORTH CAROLINA y TIE JEWs.-1hc
Board of Delegates of American lsra"litcs,
through Never S. Isaacs, secretary, has
sent a circular to the friends of religious
liberty in North Carolina, calling attention
to a provision of the new State Constitu-
ton to be submitted for ratification on the
first Thursday of August next. The Sec
ton is as follows:
"No person who shall deny the being OF
Almighty God, or the divine authority OF
both the Old and New Testament, or, who
shall hold religious opinions Incompatible
with the freedom and safety Of the State,
shall be capable of holding any Office or
place Of trust or profit in any civil depart
ment of the State"
The Israelitse say that If this is adopted
North Carolina will be, and continue, as
she IS now, the only State in the Union
that denies religious liberty TO her citizens.
The Dispatch called attention to this
matter some weeks ago. But we think the
clause will be construed to exclude from
office only those who deny the divine au-
thority Of "both the Old and New Tesla.
ments." The Jews do not deny the divine
authority of both.

DIAMOND WEDDING.-A MARRIAGE
in high life took place in Chicago on
Tuesday evening OF last week. Ira
Holmes, Cashier OF the Third Nation
al Bank of Chicago, was married to
Miss Jennie, only daughter of Stiles
Burton, Bishop Clarkson ofNebraska
officiating. There were six brides.
maids and six groomsmem, and two
bands of music played during the en-.
tire afternoon and evening. After the
ceremony at the church magnificent
reception and sumptuous supper, fol-
lowed by dancing, occurred at the
residence of the brides father. No
less than three thousand persons paid
their respects to the newly welded
pair. The wedding gifts amounted
in value to not less than $4,000 in
cluded in which was set of solid sill
yer, valued at 81 100, presented to the
bridegroom by the Board ofDirectors
of the Third National Bank, of which
he is Cashier, and a $4,000 diamond
to the bride. The happy couple are
going to Europe to spend the honey
| moon.

Senatorial.

Hear what the Caledonian says
about Mr.. Morrill, having heretofore
declined reelection to the House,
The Caledonian is in Mr.. Morrills' dis
trict and of course knows whereof it
speaks. Let the people see from this
what kind of a man Mr.. Morrill, is:
at is alleged that he has repeated
ly declined reelection. We know
this to be true, and we know as well
that on these very occasions he has
sent money all over his district to Sc
cure at the convention the attendance
of men pledged to his support. Mr..
Morrill, has repeatedly and with mnch
ostentation thrown away the vial, but
has always privately clutched at the
essence. Great Caesar in the forum,
in the presence OF the populace, thrice
put aside the crown" @

The Dutch in Holland again.

Jubilate! Jubilate! Shout h e
Morrill, host, because forsooth they
have carried Windham and Windsor
counties. No one ever claimed these
counties for Judge Poland. The fact
however that Morrill, senators were
nominated, in itself signifies simply
that majority Of the members of the
conventions gave preference to Mr.,
Morrill,. We have no doubt these
counties are largely in favor Of Mr..
Morrill,, and just little doubt that
Judge Poland has some strength there.
1t requires no great prOwess to keep
castle never beseiged. Judge Po-
lands friends have no necessity for
foraging there, an d Mr.. Morrill's
friends will get better estimate of
their strength, and of his, when they
have passed into the enemies territory
they are much more secure than
safe. And having failed to convince
the people of the superiority of Mr..
MorrillS claims they now attempt to
create public sentiment by assuming
it to eXist-the last resort of a weak
cause" -Caledoniaa.

Look out for the Stamps.

People who give receipts for money
paid, and everybody does it, should
make u note of the result of a trial
which took place in New York the
other day, and which shows how peril
Gus a thing neglect TO put stamps
upon papers which require them may
become. Many persons have fallen
into the error Of suppo8ing that if the
paper is not stamped the omission may
be rectitied at any time at very little
expense. This is not correct. There
was provision made for validating I'M
stamped papers, made and issued be-
fore the passage of the act of 1864, up
on compliance with certain provisions.
Similar provision is made in the
amended act of 1865, upon the con-
dition that the party derelict shall
pay $50 and interest at per cent.
on the stamp, if the cost of the latter
is more than $50. But in addition to
this there is an actual penalty, which
may be enforced against any one issues
unstamped paper. Under the act of
1864 it was $500 in all cases. Under
the amended act of 1865 it remains
$500 upon acceptOrs and payers of
foreign bills of exchange without first
stamping the securities. In this case
in New York the party sued had neg
lected, before the passage of the
amended act in 1865, to affix stamps
upon seven receipts for the payment
Of money. He was sued for the full
penalty in each case, amounting to
$l400 in all, and a verdict was given
against him for the whole sum. The
stamps would have cost fourteen cents,
SO that by his saving habits on the
occasion referred to, he is $1399,89
out of pocket, besides lawyers fees
and costs of suit. The example is
worthy of remembrance. There are
no duties which devolye upon citi-
zen which can be as cheaply discharg-
ed as those under the stamp laws,
and few which if neglected, may cost
a careless person more dearly.
