Washington. 2S-Bien que lie president
johnson ait pris les measures dusage pour
tenir son Message secret, nous men sommes
pas nioins a meme de vous addresser un
resume des points principaux de ee docu-
ment. II est ecrit dun style ferme non
defiant. lie President dit que les divers
Etats fonctionnent avec harmonic dams les
limites de Ia Constitution ct que toute
autre mesure necessaire a prendre, 81 toute-
fois celia est necessaire, doit etre prise par
lie Congress.

pose Ia Constitution, mais suggerera fabo-
iition du college electoral ct lelection dn
President par le peuple sans aVoir egard
aux limites Etat.

eIns par le peuple dams chaque Etat ct que
les iuges de Ia Cour Supreme gardent leurs
sieges 10 annees, IN tiers etant nomme
tous les quatre ans.
La plus grande partie du message est
consacree aux affaires etrangeres, y compris
les reclamations contre l'Augleterre ct le
protectorat mexicain. LIE message sera
esvoye d'avance au Sud par l'association
des nouyelles americaines ct europeennes

What Writings Require a Stamp

Our Internal Revenue Laws arc
so complicated that very few per.
sons really un lcrstand them, and
especially in the making out OF
deeds, giving notes, receipts, etc. ;
we therefore publish the following
in order to throw as much light on
the subject as possible
LIST. Instruments of writing da-
ted before October LIST, 1862, do not
require stamp.
%. Those dated between August
LIST, 1862, and August 1st, 1854,
may be stamped before or after use
by the Court, Register or Rocor.
der. n t..
Sd. Those dated after August
lat, 1864, and not twelve months
old, may be stamped before a Uni.
ted States Collector, without pay
ment of tho penalty Of fifty dol
lars. u hf.
4th. Thuse dated after August
1st, 1864, and more than twelve
months old, can DO stamped upon
the payment of the penalty OF fifty
dollars.
And every assignment Of note,
which assignment ia dated since
October 1st, 1862, without regard
to tho date os the note, is to b.
stamped as an agreement, namely:
Five cents no matter how large or
how small the note may be.
All persons having notes uu.
stamped, should have them stamp
ed at once. A receipt for money
or property Of over twenty dollars,
no matter what the anonnt may be,
only requires a two cent stamp.
Notes, requiring five cent stamp
for each hundred dollars.
