which he has responded to the calls of the
commercial community entstles him to share
with tie secretary Of the treasury and the
commissioner Of internal revenue, s.the thanks
of all concerned for the relief thus afforded

AS ne remarked in onr previous editorial
on this subject, the regulations appear to have
been drawn in such a way as to admit of great
diversity OF Interpretation. If too strictly
construed, they would have afforded little re
Lief to any of the community But inter
preted il the liberal and business like spirit
eyinced by General Benton we are happy to
concede The advantages which viii accrue
from their prornul CATION,
We suggest to our merchants that they take
steps at once to avail themselves Of the
official construction placed upon these regu-
lations, sothat no delay may result from their
failure to give the requisite bonds The dis
position manifested 81 General Benton to. CO
operate with the merchant and the planter
cannot but have favorable influence upon
The interests Of The entire community. we
