L1NCoLN's OPINION OF NEGROES
The following extract from a
speech of the late President Lin.
coin would not make a very good
campaign document for the Radio
ais:
81 am not nor never have been,
in favor of making jurors or vo.
ters of negroes, nor intermarry'
ing them with white people; and
will say in addition to this, that
there is a physical difference be-
tween the black and white races
which, l believe, will ever forbid
the two races living together or
terms of social and political equal
ity. And, inasmuch as they SC
live while they remain together
there must be the position of SUI
perior and inferior, and |, as much
as any other man, am In favor OF
having the superior position awar
ded to the white man."
Fayetteville observer. [volume] (Fayetteville, Tenn.) 1850-1966, 1866-06-28
Look out for the Stamps.

People who give receipts for
money paid, and every body does
it, should make note of the re-
suit of trial which took place in
New York the other day, and
which shows how perilous a thing
neglect to put stamps upon pa
pers which require them may be-
come. Many persons have fallen
into the error of supposition that
if paper is not stamped the omis-
sion may be rectiGed at any time
at very little expense. This is
not correct. There was provision
made for validating unstamped
{ papers, made and issued before
the passage of the act Of 1854,
upon compliance with certain pro-
visions. Similar provision is made
in the amended act of 1866, upon
condition that the party derelict
shall pay $50 and interest at six
per cent, on the stamp, if the cost
of the latter is more than fifty
dollars. But in addition to this
there is an actual penalty, which
may be enforced against any one
who issues unstamped paper. I'm
! der the act of 1864 it was $500 in
: all cases. Under the amended
act Of 1865 it remains 5000 upon
acceptors and payers of foreign
bills of exchange without stamp
ing the securities. In this case,
in New York, the party sued had
neglected, before the passage of
! the amended act of 1865, to affix
jstamps upon seven receipts for the
payment of money. He was sued
/! for the full penalty in each case,
amounting to 81, 900 in all, and a
verdict was given against him fol-
the whole sum. The stamps
would have cost fourteen cents, SC
that by his saving habits on the oc-
casion referred to he is 81, 1893 Sc
out of pocket, besides lawyers fees
and costs of suit. The example is
J worthy of remembrance--Phila.
