Sir: Your letter of the 3lSt Ult., enclosing
one from Messrs. Rutledge * Young has
been received. They write that, during the
existence of slavery, manumiSSion was I'M
possible. AT the same time there were a
large NUMBER Of slaves held in dominal ser
vitude only. who were allowed to enjoy
their own earnings, and because they could
not own property in their own names, they
were accustomed to select some white per-
sons in whom they repoSed conf
dence, and such persons took the
title absolutely in their own names
without any declaration of trust
Now that slavery has ceased to exist, and the
freedmen have become capable of taking
holding, and granting title to lands, they
propose to have their property conveyed and
confirmed to them by deed. No considera-
tions passes, and nominal one only is ex-
pressed in the deeds.
You inquire if such conveyances are SUBJ
ject to stamp duty.
In reply, l have to say that stamp duty
is imposed only upon conveyances OF realty
sold. In the case stated there Is no sale
the purpose and effect of such deeds Is mere
ly to place the legal title where the equita'
bic one is. No stamp, therefore is necessary,
unless the deedscontain covenants, in which
case it should be stamped as any agreement.
Neither IN such case is there any succession
tax. The grantee acquires no additional
property by such transfer; the deed SIM
ply confirms his pre-existing equitable title.
Very respectfully,
D. c. WHITMAN.
Deputy Commissioner.

TO CAPITALISTS S
AND MANUFACTURERS SEEKING
SAFE INVESTMENTS.
we call your attention the little,
~;wDIe article of n Broom, known as
pnWFRS PATENT PERPETUAL BROOM,

Every one knows the unlimited demand
for this useful article, and if you once under
stand its merits, and the advantages of Sc
cnring its monopoly III the manufacturing
and sale. there is scarcely one man in a thou
sand that would not, after due investiga-
tion. give il hearty support. We speak from
axnerience and practical knowledge when
we saw that this Broom is superceding all
others and is fast coming into general use;
and we defy capitalists TO find field OF la
Dor that will pay as large a per centage as
Powers Patent Broom.
N ts true we sell the right to manufac-
ture and sell this article, and some narrow
minded persons might doubt how and when
they would see their money coming back,
but as a general thing capitalists are salts
fed to loan their money at 10 per cent; but
If w. cannot satisfy the most incredulous
that Powers Patent Perpetual Broom will
guarantee 100 per cent on all capital IN
vested then we say, in all candor, don't IN
vast yonr money with US in the Broom, and,
on the other hand, if, after investigation,
YOU find we have undeTrated instead OF over
rated the advantages, then give it yoWr sup
mort We feel confident that we can con-
vince any sober, sane and reasonable man that
the Broom is all we claim for it, and if We
can't show this, if you come from distance,
we viii pay your expenses both ways ana
bills while in the city. Remember this II
you please
If you are not satisfied that it is even
greater success than we represent it, we are
making them here where any one can see the
,rOcess and you can do the same. 1t does not
require that man should spend a number
of wears to learn what a child can do IN a
minute, and herein lies the great success of
POWERS PATENT PERPETUAL BROOM.

A rRInrrr OF nFhPrcr.

From Jackson Fire Company, No. 1, Jackson,
Miss, to the Memory Of FRED. GRUBER, OF
New ORLEANS.
At a special meeting of Jackson Fire
Company, No. !, held on Friday evening,
the 10th inst, the death of this distinguish
ed fireman being announced a committee
was appointed to prepare suitable resolu-
tions, who reported as follows-the report
being unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, We, the members of Jackson
Fire Company, No. l, have learned with the
most profound sorrow, of the death of
FRED GRUBER, who was killed on the 9th
inst, by the hands of an assassin; and
WHEREAS, while we mourn the death of all
good citizens. there are special reasons why
this Company should feel deeply bereaved
by this dispensation of Providence; there
! fore
ResoIred, That in the death of FRED CRU
| BER We realize the loss of one who, by his
many and marked attentions to us, individ-
| ually and as an organization, became speci-
| ally endeared to this company. We shall
ever remember when, as guests of the Fire
Department of New Orleans in the spring of
! 1889, how assiduously he applied himself to
promote our comfort; we shall never forget
| liberal hospitality, his noble frankness, and
which made up the character, and were ex-
! hibited i'll the daily life of our friend.
ReS0ired, That in the death of FRED. CRU
RER, the people of New Orleans have sustain
/ ed a great loss, which we are gratitied to
know they have been prompt and unreserv-
| ed in recognizing; the Fire Department of
| that city has been called to mourn the death
! of brother who was always ready" to Te-
/ spond to every call of duty-One who was
/ honored with high positions, but who ever
| reflected honor upon all the stations he was
| called to fill FRED. GRUBER was the EN-
| bodiment of a true Fireman. Whenever the
/ fiery element was to be subdued, he sought
| the most perilous places regardless of dam
ger, and unconscious of fatigue. He was
/ by nature benevolent of heart and generous
and charitable to fault-a pure bright spe-
cimen of Heavens most noble work-an
! honest man. In him, it may be truly said,
THE elements
Were so mixed, that Nature might stand up
And say to all the world-IhiS Is man :"
ResoIred, That we tender to the Fire De
| partment of New Orleans and to the rel
! atives of the deceased, our sincere sympa-
! thy; and as mark of respect on the part
/ of this Company, it is ordered that this feeble
/ tribute to departed worth, be entered upon
our JOurnal, and that a copy thereof be
/ suitably Transcribed for preservation in our
! Hall.
ROsOired, That the Secretary transmit
without delay, copy of these resolutions te
the President of the New Orleans Fire De-
partment, and that the papers of Jackson
and New Orleans be requested to publish the
same
