Horrible Aanir I'd colnerilIe

We lay before our readers this morn
ing the particulars OF an affair which
has few, if any parallels, amongst the
many blOod-thirsty crimes perpetrated
in this section OF the country during
the past ten or twelve months As the
eastward bound train on the Memphis
and Charleston Railroad reached Ger
mantOwn on Saturday evening last, Mr..
Tillman stepped into the car, filed by
negroes, for the purpose Of talking to
one Of ais employees. During the con
yersation something occurred, OF was
said, to arouse the ire of a negro Ia dis
charged soldier sitting close By, aud he
immediately began 70 address Mr..
Tillman in language both impairment
aud insulting BY this time the train
began to move Oft and Mr. Tillman
was compelled TO seek his own car.
When the train arrived 81 COlherville,
Mr.. Tillman again entered the negro
car and shot at the negro, without,
however, any effect He then Jumped
10 the ground, and the negro, raising
the window OF the car, palled a
pistol and fired at Mr. Tillman
three times, tke last shot entering his
shoulder and lodging in the vicinity Of
his heart As soon as the negro had
accomplished his hendish design, he
Jumped from the cars, and made with
all possible speed for the woods Du-
ring this time, a horse was released
from q buggy standing close By, and
being instantly mounted by one Of the
spectators, he, in company with four
or five others, started IN pursuit Of the
murderer, who was shot down lust a.
he was entering the woods, the ball
taking effect in the back, and bringing
him to the earth almost instantly. The
men in pursuit, enraged at the conduct
Of the negro, and being in a state Of
excl tement on coming up with him,
pulled out their knives, and in a few
moments the head Of the negro was
severed from his body. One Of the
shots which the negro fred took effect
in the abdomen Of Mr.. Cohen, with, il
is thought, fatal results. Mr.. Cohen
has been a resident Of Collierville fol
some time past, and was in the act oi
purchasing newspaper when he was

people of the neighborhood, and il was
feared, at one time, that a general riot

An Important CircuIar---CanCeIIa-
tiOn OF Stamps.

Special Dispatch to the New York Tribune.
WAsHINGToN, Monday, Jan Is, lS66-
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
to-day issued an important circular re
specting the cancellation Of revenue
stamps, which will be of general inte-
rest TO the business men OF the coun-
try.
After referring to the different sec
tions Of the Stamp Act OF June 3Oth,
lSv+, he decides that, under the power
thus conferred, authority has been Civ
en- to imprint the initials and date upon
stamps in ink, instead Of writing them.
The imprint must be distinct aud legi-
BILE If proprietary stamps cannot be
so affixed to the boxes, bottles or pack
ages that in opening the same or in
using the contents thereof they shall
and must be unavOidably and ettectu-
ally destroyed, they should be cancelled
in the ordinary manner by writing OF
imprinting thereon the initials and
date Cancellation by writing or inn
printing the initials aud date in ink,
whereby the stamp is made TO cor
respond in those particulars with
the instrument to which il s
affixed, is not cnly the legal but also
the most eliectual method against
fraud, and must De adopted, except in
the case Of proprietary articles where
it is otherwise specially provided. Ere
quent reports have reached this OiliOe
showing that the law upon this subject
IS very oIten discarded. In some in
stances stamps are used without being
obliterated or destroyed in any manner
whatever. In others Q cross simply,
generally with ink, but sometimes even
a pencil il used, or hole is punched
through the stamp. These and similar
methods of cancellation afford Little or
no protection against the use of stamps
a second time. Great frauds may be,
and, as investigation shows, have been
practiced upon the public revenue in
this manner. Collectors, assessors, in
spectors, and all other officers Of this
Bureau are therefore instructed 20 give
this suble then special attention, to
bring it to the notice Of persons using
stamps, and to require strict conformity
to the law If persons, after having
been fully notified of the requirements
Of the statute respecting the eancella-
ton Of stamps, and Of their liabilities
for noncompliance Herewith, wilfully
persist iR their fraudulent use, without
eifeotually osnoelling and obliterating
them in the manner required by law,
legal proceedings should be instituted
for the recovery Of the prescribed pen
alties.
