WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The Secretary
of the Treasury has issued the following
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, !
February2 2, 1866.
On September 14th, 1865, an order was
issued by this department, under the
power conferred by Section 46 of the In
ternal Revenue department, of June 80,
1864, directing that articles manufac-
tured in the States lately in insurrection
prior to the establishment Of collection
districts therein, but retained in posses
sion of their manufacturer until after
such, establishment, and thus made liza
BILE to the current rates of taxation,
should be held free from present assess
ment until transported beyond the limits
of the above mentioned States and
should then be subject only to the tax
due at the time of their manufacture
The reasons for this exemption is now
stated briefly. At the time ofits allow
ance it was instanced by the govern
ment that manufacturers had, in igno-
rance of the law, retained large quanti-
ties of their products in their own hands,
and by the supposed additional fact the
property so retaiued had greatly detori-
ated in value. Abundant opportunity
having been given for the disposal of
these manufactures, there is no good
reason for continuing privilege incon.
sistent with the general provisions of
the law, adverse to the interests ofnorth-
ern manufacturers, and susceptible, as
experience has shown, of very great
abuse. 1t is therefore ordered that on
and after March 1st, 1866, all southern
manufacturers in possession ofthe man.
ufactures shall be held subject to the
present rates of duty, no exception be-
ing made in any case on account OF the
date of manufacture.

be stamped before or after use by
the Court, Register or Recorder.
3. Those dated since August 1st
1864, and not twelve months old,
may be stamped before a United

of the penalty of $50.
4. Those dated after August 1st,
