FRIDAY, 2ND NOVEMBER 1866.

The returns from the ~quinquennial
Census, which should have been made in
October last year, not having been given,
we beg to suggest that they be taken up
before this year expires, say Il few days
before the 3Ist December coming, and
the same day fixed for the three islands.
1t is a very essential thing and should
never be neglected. The method of col
Letting the items to form the Census is,
In our opinion, not very correct, and we
beg to offer another. The usual way is
this blank forms are taken around by
members Of the community, who are
previously appointed by the police au-
thorities, and filled up by these gatherers
in the respective houses where they go.
The better way we think would be this
distribute the blank forms in the same
manner as the blank tax-lists a few DAYS
previous to the day fixed upon for colIec-
ting them, and let the principal tenant of
each house make out the list; appoint per-
sons to go about and gather them-these
p~orSnns, ne n matter of course, will
make proper questions as to the correct
ness of the list and, if necessary, correct
them. The manner in which the eluci-
udIlOAS "ClC AOlHl0Ily HIduC we Sdku6T-
ers being obliged to fill up the lists them
selves, is not, we think, so reliable as if
the direct parties themselves filled them
up and let these returns be subject TO
The scrutiny of the gatherers. We would
say that three more rubrics should be add
ed Native From the Mother Country
Foreigner.
THE Luande Equestrian and Gymnas-
tic Company will give their first per-
Torrance here tomorrow evening. The
Company have incurred q great outlay
in erecting the Circus, and the daily ex-
penses of their vessel are not so trifing.
1t certainly would be folly in these peo-
pie to go to SO much expense and trou-
BILE and give only two entertainments /;
and if they are prevented by the autho-
rites to offer but two performances, we
consider it unfair, and It would be an act
of injustice done to the Company, while
il would be depriving the inhabitants ola
little amusement, which is seIdomoffered.

To THE PRESIDENT
SIR In reply to your despatch of Au-
gust 22d, l have the honor to state, in no in
stance in making appointments to office, or
in recommending for appointment, have
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
(some four thousand) some have been ap-
pointed who ought not to have been, and in
some cases even friends have misled, to some
slight extent, by their recommendations :;
but. upon the whole, only loyal Union men
have been appointed and recommended at
Washington. 1t is my purpose and wish to
encourage and strengthen those who have
never at heart fatered in theil allegiance to
the federal government. 1 have proceeded
deliberately and carefully in the work ofres-
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 Inisrepre-
scnting facts, and fomcnting strife for GER
tain purposes: but none OF these things move
ne in the performance of duty.

you have heretofore reposed i'll me, and for

Hon William Il. Grdham-Dear Sir:
We intend to vote for our neighbor, Josiah
Turner, jr., for Congress. We were preven-
ted from voting for the person of our choice
for Convention by the interference of Gov
ernor Holden, who had. or pretended to
have, instructions from the President that no
unparioned person was eligibM Yet Gen
erai Hampton, unpardoned, was elected to
the South Carolina Convention. Judge Man
". unpardoned. was elected to our Convex
ton. No other Governor received orders
that unpardoned persons were ineligible.-
How does it happen that our Governor re
eeived instructions not given to other Gov
ernors? How does it happen that no other
Governor or Convention received instructions
that must repudiate the debt? We
not advocating the payment of the war
or any other debt. If, however, the people
Of North Carolina wish to pay the war debt,
or any other debt, they will do it, and whose
business is it but theirs?
We ask your opinion only as to the eligi-
bility of Mr.. Turner
Respectfully yours,

GENERAL REMARKS.

Revenue Stamps may be used Unfortunately
upon any of the matters or things enumerated in
schedule B, except proprietary and playing card
stamps, for which special use has been provided
fostage stamps cannot be used in payment OF
the duty chargeable on instruments.
1t Is the duty of the maker of an instrument to
affix 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 a stamp, 1t
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
Hcation, petition, &c, in which case these, as the
original process, severally require stamps.
Writs of scira facias are subject to stamp duty
as original processes.
The iurat of an affidavit, taken before Justice
OF the Peace, Notary Public, or other Officer duly
authorized to take affidavits, is held to be GER
tificate, and is subject to stamp duty of five
CENTS except when taken in suits of legal proceed
ings.
Certificates of loan in which there shall appear
any printed or written evidence of an 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 an 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 OIL interest conveyed.
No stamp is required any warrant of attor-
ncy 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 such papers, such
stamp duty being the highest rates required for
such instruments, either of them In such a
case note or 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.

Washington, d. O., August %, 1865.
Governor VIM. w. HOLDEN, Raleigh, NJ g. ::
Information comes to me that reports are
freely circulating in influential quarters, and
where, without contradiction, they are calcu-
lated to do harm, to the effect that in ap-
pointments to Office, and in the recommen-
dations for appointments, the true Union
men are totally ignored, and the provisional
governors are giving decided preference to
those who have participated in the rebellion.
The object of such representations is to en-
barrass the government in its reconstruction
policy; and while place no reliance in such
statements, I feel it due to you to advise you
of the extended circulation they have gained,
and to impress upon you the Importance of
encouraging and strengthening to the fullest
extent the men of your State who have never
faltered in their allegiance to the government
Every opportunity should be made available
to have this known and understood as your
policy and determination. Acknowledge
the receipt of this telegram.

Gentlemen:
Yours expressing your wish to vote for the
Hon. Josioh TurneS jr., as the representa-
tive in Congress from this District, and ask
ing my opinion as to his eligibility, the
doubt arising from his not having yet re-
ceivcd the pardon of the President, has been
received.
doubt not, that the President has as little
disposition as he has power to interfere in
the case. Memberships in Congress can pre-
sent no question for the President. Each
House is by the Constitution the sole judge
of the elections, returns and qualifications
of its members and if a representative be
twenty-five years of age, has been seven years
a citizen of the United States, and be at the
time of his election an inhabitant of the
State, he has all the qualifications prescribed
by the Constitution, and there is no power
or authority that can require any others. I
have recently endeavored to demonstrate this
in paper published in the Raleigh Sentinel
of this date. AS to a pardon, L presume it
is only necessary that the President shall
have leisure to consider the case of Mr. Turn
er to obtain that. Certainly no citizen of
this State has shown more vigorous opposi-
ton to the whole secession movement, or
conducted himself in q more manly and pa
triotic manner throughout the war; l have
recently seen Il letter from high official in
Virginia stating that "a special appeal had
been made to the President' by Governor
Pierpont, Freaman Smith, G. II. Lewis,
Treasurer of the Commonwealth, and several
other influential citizens of that State, who
formed the acquaintance of Mr.. Turner, and
witnessed his course in the Confederate Con
gress, praying an immediate grant of his
pardon.

Your obedient servant,
