GENERAL REMARKS.

Revenue Stamps may be used iudiscriminately
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
afiX and cancel the stamp thereon. Hhe neglccts
to do so, the party for whom it is made, may
stamp it before it is used; and if used after the
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 q penalty of two hundred dollars.
Suits are commenced in many States by other
process than writ, viz: summons, warrants, pub
lication, petition &C., in which case these, as the
original process, severally require stamps.
Writs of scra facias are subject to stamp duty
as original processes.
The jurat of an affidavit taken before Justice
of the Peace, Notary Public, or other Officer duly
authorized to take affdaVits, is held to be GER
tificate, and is subject to q 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
signated, are subject to stamp duty as Promsory
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 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 conveyances 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 hond 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, or either of them. In such a
case 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.

To THE PRESIDENT:
SIR: In reply to your despatch of Au-
gust 22d, have the honor to state, in no in
stance in making appointments to office, or
in recommending for appointment, have I
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 thousandD 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 faltered in theil allegiance to
the federal government I have proceeded
deliberately and carefully in the work of res
toration, and thus far 1 am sure there are
no grounds for apprehending that North
Carolina will not present 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 misrepre-
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

". c.:
Every dollar of the debt created to aid the
rebellion against the United States should
be repudiated finally and forever. The great
mass of the people should not be taxed to
pay debt to aid in carrying on a rebellion
which they in fact, ifleft to themselves, were
opposed to. Let those who have given their
means for the obligations of the State look
to that power they tried to establish in vio-
lation of law, constitution, and will of the
people. They must meet their fate. 1t is
their misfortune, and cannot be recognized
by the people of any State protesting them
selves loyal to the government OF the United
States and in the Union. repeat that the
loyal people of North Carolina should be ex-
onerated from the payment of every dollar
of Indebtedness created to aid in carrying on
the rebellion trust and hope that the peo-
pie of North Carolina will wash their hands
of everything that partakes in the slightest
degree of the rebellion, which has been so
recently crushed by the strong arm of the
government IN carrying out the obligations
imposed by the Constitution of the Union.

Washington D. c., august %, 1865.
Governor VIM. w. HOLDEN, Raleigh, " c. ::
Information comes to me that reports are
freely circulating in influential quarters, and
where, without Contradiction, they are calcr-
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, 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.
