National Banks--The Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue has decided that where the bonds
deposited as basis of circulation under the ma
tiona banking law, have been purchased at a
premium, no deduction should be made by bank
officers, in making up their dividends and sur
pluses, on the plea that the premiums paid formed
part of the legitimate expenses.
Suchsdeduction, he says is, clearly erroneous, as
the payment of premiums on bonds cannot be
considered a loss or an expense to the bank but
an investment of its earnings. He instructs the
officers of the Bureau to notify the banks that the
amounts of their profits expended in paying pre-
miums should be included in the taxable gains.
Post Office D,'afts.-In May, 1864, the United
States Congress passed bill establishing system
of money exchange by means of the post office de-
partment, similar to that which has been in sue
cessful operation in Germany and other parts of
Europe for many years. This bill met with con-
siderable opposition previous to its passage, and
not few of the most sagacious financiers of the
country looked upon it at the time as movement
to create great government exchange office,
which would ultimately overshadow all of the
private and local institutions of the country Its
workings have been so harmonious and unostenta-
tious, however, that we had entirely lost sight of
it, and have only been assured of its actual exs-
tence by perusa of the following statistics of the
Washington office, which we find in a late number
of the National Intelligencer:
During the first year of the money order system,
which closed on the first of November last, there
were GLIB money issued at our postofice on the
various money order offices throughout the Union
the amount being sl27,505 TO- In the same period
S277 1922 80 worth of money orders from other Off
ces, fees amounting to sl002 05 collected, and
s125 1874 surplus deposited in New York-the total
amount handled in the Office being $4l0,2l5 Ga.
The number of orders issued in November was
1884, and in December sos making the total amount
from the establishment of the system to the 3ls1
| ult., 7l50.
The number of money order Offices has increased
| from l43, established during the first six months
to 4l6, of which only those of New Orleans, New
bern, Port Royal and Chattanooga are in the
South. About IS new offices will be in operation
on the 5th prox., many of which will be in thu
| South and Southwest.
The rate of commission charged on money or
ders, is as follows Not exceeding SO, 10 cents
over $40 and not exceeding $40, Is cents; over So
and up to $50, 20 cents. No single order issuet
for less than 81, or for more than $50.

would call public attention to the new house OF
Tsascson, Sexas s. Co., who advertise IN our col
umns this morning a fresh and very choice and
extensive assortment Of fancy and family groceries,
at their establishment. No. &C Common street.
We have never seen a more tasteful and judicious
selection of all the articles which go to make up
complete grocery store, than has been purchased
nv Mr.. Isaacson during his late journey to the
North. Even if it were not for the sterling bust
ness qualifications of these gentlemen and the i'm
mense popularity they enjoy in this and other
Southern States, the quality of their goods would
insure them public patronage to the most gratifying
extent. Mr. Isaaeson has been in the wholesale
grocery business ever since the age of thirteen.
with the exception of the last five years, during
which he was absent from the city on important
business of private nature, and is du fat in
every branch of the trade. Mr. Seixas, who was
also absent during the same period, unites great
business energy to strict integrity and poteness.
Their stock of goods was purchased where pro-
duced or imported, and is positively of the choicest
and most reliable kinds. Their supply of teas is
among the largest and most select to be found in
New Orleans. Their butter is genuine Goshen
their wines cigars, ETC.. etc., unsurpassed in the
whole country. Success to their liberality and en-
| terprise.
