GENERAL REMARKS


Revenue Stamps may be used indiscriminately
upon any of the matters or things enumerated in
schedule B, except proprietary and playing card
Postage stamps cannot be used in payment OF
the duty chargeable on instruments.
1t is the duty of the maker of an instrument to
affix and cancel the stamp thereon. 1.-The neglects
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 penalty of two hundred dollars.
Suits are commenced in many States by other
process than writ, viz: summons, warrants, pub
hcatlon, petition, &c. in which case these, as the
original process, severally require stamps.
Writs of scira facias are subject to stamp duty
as original processes.
The jurat of an affidavit, taken before a Justice
of the Peace, Notary Public, other Officer duly
authorized to take affidavits, is held to be a GER
tifcate, and is subject to 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
money to be paid on demand or at any time de-
signated, are subject to stamp duty as Promisory
Notes.
The assignment of a 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 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 on interest conveyed.
No stamp is required on any warrant of attor-
ney accompanying a bond 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, either of them. In such q
case note or 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.

THE TREATMENT OF FREEDMEN IN LOUIsI-
ANA AND TEXAS s-The Houston Telegraph,
in noticing the mobbing of Mr.. Ruby, a
teacher of eolored school at Jackson,
Louisiana, says:
"The attack, beating, kicking and dragg-
ing of Mr.. Ruby seems to be entirely with
out excuse. He had but newly arrived, and
his only offense was that of instructing
his fellow people of color. Yet his treat
ment was most cruel. A great psany of these
outrages have occurred in Louisiana. We
are glad to know that the people of Texas
have been much kinder to the colored school
teachers, and while we could wish that there
was less prejudice toward them, still we con-
gratulate ourselves that Texans have not dis
graced themselves as have the people of
Louisiana. We are beginning to recognize
the fact that our comfort and perhaps our
safety demand that the negro be educated
and raised above his present abiect condi-
ton. We believe that no personal violence
has been offered to any teacher under the
Bureau, either white or black. This argues
for us higher state of civilization than our
neighbors enjoy. We believe that the colored
schools of Texas are the most prosperous of
those established in the Southern States -
They are conducted without expense to the
Government, being entirely supported by the
blacks themselves"

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. 1 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.

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
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 thousand) 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 l am sure there are
no grounds for apprehending that North
Carolina will not present an 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 Inisrepre
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
provisional governor of this noble State, l
am, sir, &c, W. W. HOLDEN,

Governor VIM. w. HOLDEN, Raleigh, ~ c. -:
Information comes to me that reports are
freely circulating in influential quarters, and
where, without contradiction, they are calcu-
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.

His Excellency the PRESIDENT Of the United

SIR: Contrary to my expectations, the
convention has involved itself in bitter dis
cussion of the State debt made in aid of the
rebellion. A continuance of this discussion
will greatly excite the people and retard the
lieved to be against assuming the debt
by large majority. Is it not advisable
that our convention, like that of Alabama,
should positively ignore this debt now and
forever? Please answer at once.

Accept my thanks for the noble and eff
cient manner in which you have discharged
your duty as provisional governor. You will
be sustained by the government.
The result of the recent elections IN North
Carolina have greatly damaged the prospects
of the State in the restoration of its govern
mental relations Should the action and the
spirit of the legislature be in the same direc-
ton it will greatly increase the mischief al
ready done, and might be fatal.
1t is hoped the action and spirit manifes-
ted bv the legislature will be so directed as
rather to repair than to increase the Difficult
ties under which the State has already placed
itself. ANDREW JOHNSON,

HuJSROROJTGH October 1S 1861


Hon.. William A. Grahana-Dear Sir:
We intend to vote for our neighbor, Josiah
Turner jr, for Congress We were preven-
ted from voting for the person of our choice
for Convention by the interference of Gov
ernor Holden, who had, or pretended to
have, instructions from the President that no
unparGoned person was eligible. Yet Gen
eral Hampton, unpardoned, was elected to
the South Carolina Convention. Judge Man
ly, unpardoned, was elected to our ConveR-
ton. No other Governor received orders
that unpardoned persons were Ineligible
How does it happen that our Governor re-
ceived instructions not given to other Gov
ernors? How does it happen that no other
Governor or Convention received instructions
that we must repudiate the war debt? We
are not advocating the payment of the war
or any other debt. If, however, the people
of North Carolina wish to pay the war debt
or any other debt, they will do it, and whose
business is it but theirs!
We ask your opinion only as to the eligi-
bility of Mr.. Turner.
Respectfully yours,
