An Important Decision.

The Richmond Whig calls attention to the fol-
lowing important decision, and gives its views in
relation to It.: 1T
It has been generally supposed that legal in
struments we're not valid unless they have the
prescribed revenue stamps upon them But Judge
Hoar, of the Supreme Court OF Massachusetts,
one Of the most eminent .jurists in this country,
has decided that this is mot the case., The New
Bedford Mercury says. 'In q case before the
SupreEne Judicial Court, in Taunton, the question
OF the validity OF q deed to which no revenue
stamp was affixed was:raised. Judge Hoar unhesi-
tatingiy decided that the absence of the stamp
does not invaIidate the deed. He questioned
whether Congress 30 intended in framing the in
ternal revenue law, but was clear in the opinion
that statute Of the United States undertaking to
invalidate an instrument which by the laws Of the
State is valid, %buld be unconstitutional. The
Government may exact penalty for failure to A.
fix stamp, but,cannot make void the instrumen
for the lack OF the stamp" ,. F-.- -
The principle involved is anaiaoous To that de-
cided by the OPTED States Supreme Court in the
case OF the @.assachusetts liquor sellers. They
c6ntended THAT they were empowered to carry on
their traffic D violation Of State law, by virtue Of
paying Federal tax. Whereas the Federal Gov
ernment has no right and does not presume to
override State law and grant licenses, but, finding
businessf prosecuted, it exercises the power OF
taxing that business. 30 in the case OF a written
instruments authorized by q State. The Federal
Government possesses no constitutional right to
interferg&ith its validity but finding it in e1ls-
tence itfmay exercise the power Of taxing that
existence.

TIE "PowHATAN" EsTArE.-The Mobile Register
noticing the sale of Mr. ROBERT MAY,s seat near
Richmond, known as "Powhatan," says: i
It exctes sad thoughts. The beautiful estate
referred to-more properly known as "Powhatsn
Ben seat".just below Richmond, has been in posses
aion OF tho Mayo family for we know not how
many generations, and has always been the abode
OF liberal, refined, aud cordial hospitality,
The tradition about Capt. smith is justly char
acterlzed az "dublous," although large stone i,
shown in the yard on which the English sdven-
turers head is supposed tp have been laid when
he was rescued by the Virginia princess. Il is
acarcely possible, according 20 Smiths narrative,
tionlar spot. There is little or no doubt, however
that it waa one OF the places Of resdence OF KIM.
Powhatah, and less dubious" tradition makes
1t the place OF his seputure. -..n3.
,"Powhatan Seat" only shares the fate Of many
other fine old Southern estates. In passing into
the hands OF strangers, but those who have en-
1oyed the large-hearted hospitality OF it's former
owners will read the above announcement. With
more than ordinary emotions. The memories OF
many a vanished hour will long finger among its
AIRY halls its shady walks, its grassy lawns its
fine old trees, and It's enrhansing views OF the
noble river that winds through the valley below.
