ever the governor elect shall have accepted
and become qualified to discharge the duties
of the executive office, you will transfer the

To THE PRESIDENT
SIR: In reply to your despatch of Au-
gust 22d, 1 have the honor to state, in no in
stance in making appointments to Office, or
in recommending for appointment, have 1
shown any preference for persons who have
participated in the rebellion; on the con-
trary, have been very careful to prefer and
to appoint persons who were original Union
men, and persons who were in favor of re-
storing the authority of the federal govern
ment. Doubtless in many appointments
pointed who ought not to have been, and in
some cases even friends have misled, to some
slight extent, by their recommendations
have been appointed and recommended at
Washington. 1t is my purpose and wish to
encourage and strengthen those who have
never at heart faltered in theil allegiance to
the federal government. l have proceeded
deliberately and carefully in the work of res
toration, and thus far l am sure there are
no grounds for apprehending that North
Carolina will not present an acceptable con-
stitution. The great body of her people are
loyal and submissive to national authority
l know there are malcontents, radicals, and
not good men, who are engaged in 1nisrepre-
senting facts, and fomenting strife for GER
tain purposes; but none of these things move
me in the performance of duty.
Thanking you heartily for the confidence
you have heretofore reposed in me, and for
the honor you have done me in making me
provisional governor of this noble State,

GENERAL REMARKS.


Revenue Stamps may be used indiscriminately
upon any of the matters or things enumerated in
schedule B, except proprietary and playing card
stamps, for which special use has been provided.
Postage stamps cannot be used in payment OF
the duty chargeable on instruments.
1t is the duty of the maker of an instrument to
af1iX and cancel the stamp thereon. Hhe neglects
to do SO, the party for whom it is made, may
stamp it before it is used; and if used after the
3Oth of July, 1864, and used without stamp it
cannot afterwards be effectually stamped. Any
failure upon the part of the maker of an instru-
ment to appropriately stamp it, renders him liza
BILE to penalty of two hundred dollars.
Suits are commenced in many States by other
process than writ, viz summons warrants, pub
lcation, petition, &C., in which these the
original process, severally require stamps.
Writs of scira facias are subject to stamp duty
original processes.
The jurat of an affidavit, taken before Justice
of the Peace, Notary Public, other Officer duly
authorized to take affdavits, is held to be GER
tificate, and is subject to a stamp duty of five
CENTS except when taken in suits of legal proceed
ngs.
Certificates of loan in which there shall appear
any printed or written evidence of amount of
money to be paid on demand or at any time de-
signatcd are subject to stamp duty as Promisory
Notes
The assignment of mortgage is subject to the
same duty as that imposed upon the original in
strument; that is to say for every sum of five
hundred dollars or any fractional part thereof of
the amount secured by the mortgage, at time of
its assignment there must be affixed a stamp or
stamps, denoting duty of five cents.
When two or more persons join in the execution
of instrument, the stamps to which this instru-
ment is liable under the law, may be affixed and
cancelled by one of the parties.
In convcyances of real estate, the law provides
that the stamp affixed must answer to the value
of the estate OH interest conveyed.
No stamp is required on any warrant of attor-
ney accompanying bond or note, when such
bond or note has affixed thereto the stamp OIL
stamps denoting the duty required, and whenever
any bond or note is secured by mortgage, but one
stamp duty is required on such papers, such
stamp duty being the highest rates required for
such instruments, either of them. In such a
case a note memorandum of the value de-
nomination of the stamp affixed should be made
upon the margin or in the acknowledgement of
the instrument which is not stamped.
