Don't Forget the Stnnins.

People who give receipts for money paid,
and everybody docs it, should make note
of the result of trial which took place in
New York the other day, and which shows
how perilous thing a neglect to put
stamps upon papers which require them
may become. Many persons have fallen
Into the error of snpposing that if u paper
is not stamped the omission may be rccti-
fled at any time at a very little expense. -
This is not correct. There was provision
made for validating unstampel papers,
made and issued before the passage of the
act Of 1851, upon compliance with certain
provisions. Similar provision is made in
amended act oflSGJ, upon the condition
'l.as the party derciist SHALL pay $50 and
Interest AZ u per cent. On the stamp, if the
cost OF the latter is more than $50. But
in addition to this there is an actual penal
ty, which may be enforced against any one
who Issues unstamped paper. Under the
act of 1864 it was $500 in all cases Tn
der the amended act of 1865 it remains
$500 upon acccptors and payers of foreign
bills of exchange without first stamping the
securities. In this case in New York the
party sued had neglected before the pas
sage, of the amended act of 1865, to aiIix
stamps upon seven receipts for the pay
ment of money. lie was sued for the full
penalty in each case, amounting TO 81 ,40O
i'll all, and verdict was given against him
tor the whole sum. The stamps would
have cost fourteen cents; 50 that by his sa.
wing habits on the occasion referred to he

ycr's fees and cost of suit. The example is
worthy Of remembrance. There are nc
duties which devolve upon citizen which
can be as clcaply discharged as those un
der the stamp laws, and few which, if ne
elected may cost a careless person NOR,

Whereas the late war was waged for the

ing to establish peace upon a permanent

complish that purpose.
Ecsolrcd, That our thanks arc due and

it necessary to treat us with collncss or

tending to us your civilitcs, what letters
of introduction we brought. You measur-
